2019-01-04 14:00:00 | Things I Hearted This Week, 4th Jan 2018 (lien direct) |
Welcome to 2019! I hope that you had a well-deserved break over the holidays, and a special shout out to all the people that carried on pulling shifts in the SOC, were on-call, and helped ensure stuff stayed as secure as possible while the rest of us were eating and sleeping too much! I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, that you are the real backbone of the security industry, and although you may never go to conferences, or be heard on a podcast, or put your name to a blog - you go about your job keeping things as secure as possible.
We’re only half a week into the new year and the security world hasn’t slowed down in the slightest, so let’s just get down to what’s been going on these last few days, and catch up with some of the excitement that I missed while I was busy consuming mince pies.
Victorian Government Employees Details Stolen
We didn’t even make it a day into the new year without news of a data breach where thousands of records were stolen. Sure, it’s small compared to the millions of records we’re getting accustomed to reading about, but it’s significant nonetheless. It’s like data breaches have become an olympic level sport with everyone racing to be first.

The work details of 30,000 Victorian public servants have been stolen in a data breach, after part of the Victorian Government directory was downloaded by an unknown party.
The list is available to government employees and contains work emails, job titles and work phone numbers.
Employees affected by the breach were told in an email their mobile phone numbers may have also been accessed if they had been entered into the directory.

Town of Salem Breach Affects 7 Million Accounts
Getting up to the kind of breach numbers we’re all more used to, The Town of Salem (video game) was hit with a massive data breach last week that exposed the information on more than 7 million users.
The breach was discovered by the cybersecurity research Dehashed on December 28 when he received an anonymous email that indicated someone had gained access to the game’s database. Town of Salem is a role-playing game operated by BlankMediaGames.

Promote Your Scams
In the battle for advertising revenue supremacy, social media giants have automated their whole process and seem to have forgotten to include any basic checks for, you know, looking for obvious scams. Like this little gem whereby an obvious PayPal phishing scam was sent as a promoted tweet.
And we think we’re going to clean up fake news.

2018-08-02 07:26:00 | IDG Contributor Network: “Political hack” takes on new meaning in the age of cyberwarfare (lien direct) | The media blitz about Russia's involvement in our electoral process redefines the term “political hack.” Our fundamental right to legitimately and confidentially vote in elections, with confidence our vote counts, is not challenged by a despot, but rather by a bot. e-Voting machines are routinely analyzed and discoveries of one or another vulnerability are reported. Several studies over the past few years reveal the brittleness and insecurities of the various electronic voting machines used across America. The most recent demonstration at this year's DefCon provides a step by step process on how to exploit and attack a particular eVoting machine. Undoubtedly other machines are also vulnerable to malicious alteration. | Vulnerability Studies | ||
