A new beginning, a refresh, or has nostalgia finally caught up? We’re changing the name of this weekly update back to “Things I Hearted this Week”. Here are some of the popular and not-so-popular security and technology stories that caught our fancy for your reading pleasure.
“It’s the only and most fascinating read you need to keep up to date with your security needs.” – Someone I hired to say this from fiverr.com
Equifax
The big one on the tip of everyone’s tongue this week has been Equifax.
There’s little value in repeating every interesting article that was published on this topic during the week. From Adrian Sanabria’s Savage Security blog telling us Equifax breached, no eyebrows raised. To Brian Krebs providing his characteristic in-depth review The Equifax Breach: What you should know. All the way to articles exposing the poor manner in which the company has decided to respond, we tested Equifax's data breach checker — and it's basically useless.
There have been many large breaches, what makes Equifax largely different is that the details stolen weren’t things like usernames or passwords that could be easily changed. Rather it was users names, date of birth, and social security numbers – which are almost impossible to change.
Then there’s the case that a lot of the impacted individuals weren’t even customers of Equifax. They merely had their data held by the credit bureau. So it’s unlike, say, the Yahoo breach, where users can simply shut down their account and take their business elsewhere.
All eyes will be on the regulators to see if they can get to the bottom of the mess, and levy appropriate penalties. Maybe it’s time for the US to crystallise data protection, much like GDPR is seeking to achieve across Europe.
Chatbot to sue Equifax
It turns out that if you want to sue Equifax, you can do so without involving a lawyer. The creator, Joshua Browder, originally developed the chatbot to help people appeal against parking enforcement tickets. But now it’s looking to take on the big one and sue Equifax for its colossal breach.

Phishers targeting LinkedIn users via hijacked accounts
As users, we’re often aware of the dangers that could arise from a poorly secured bank account, but we don’t often give as much thought to other accounts we own such as email or social media. While an individual may not find LinkedIn particularly interesting themselves beyond maintaining a professional presence, attackers look at such accounts differently and will leverage to their advantage wherever possible. Therefore it is important users take the right steps to protect all of their accounts and social media profiles as best as possible by using stro |
