New and breaking by me @TFinitive: They might have gotten away with it if weren’t for those pesky security researchers. The supposed massive Europcar data breach unmasked.
Global Affairs Canada, a federal government agency responsible for Canada's foreign relations & diplomatic service has suffered a massive cybersecurity breach.
It has been said that the cause of the breach may have been a vulnerable VPN system. Currently what is known is that at least 2 shared drives and "many" employees' emails, calendar and contacts were affected. Shared Services Canada & the Canadian Centre for Cybersecurity are currently investigating to find out the full scope of the breach.
@campuscodi The govt says it took place on January 30 and was immediately discovered. Knight claims it was Jan. 26. Their listing of January 29, which I screencapped on January 29, gave the govt 38 hours to respond It- was subsequently edited to give the govt 731 hours. It also claims they acquired 250,000 MB of files and documents.
23andMe data breach: #Hackers stole raw genotype data, health reports
Ugh, so after blaming other people for this breach, 23andMe admits that raw genotype data (which, btw is immutable as it gets for data points) was compromised… due to a 5-month long credential stuffing campaign.
Why do banks have the absolute worst account security? Even after getting hacked and giving away all their customers sensitive info Mr Cooper doesn't even have 2fa for account access. And because they hold my mortgage I don't have the choice to take my business elsewhere. I guess I answered my own question...
We really need some government intervention here.
Watch our new video case study on how attackers gained access the personal data of 6.9 million #23andMe users without compromising the company directly. We'll share what happened and the new implications for organizations: https://youtu.be/B-5Y72UWWhI #databreach#cybersecurity#CISO
"Based on 481 ransomware attacks from the Dutch police and a Dutch incident response party, we arrive at a number of key insights: Insurance led to a 2.8x higher ransom amount paid, without affecting the frequency of payments. Data exfiltration led to a 5.5 times higher ransom amount paid, without affecting the frequency of payments. Organizations with recoverable backups were 27.4 times less likely to pay the ransom compared to victims without recoverable backups.

Vans, North Face owner says ransomware breach affects 35 million people
VF Corporation, the company behind brands like Vans, Timberland, The North Face, Dickies, and Supreme, said that more than 35 million customers had their personal information stolen in a December ransomware attack.
The American global apparel and footwear giant said that the affected customers' social security numbers, bank account information, or payment card information was not impacted since it doesn't store such data on its systems.
"Based on VF's preliminary analysis from its ongoing investigation, VF currently estimates that the threat actor stole personal data of approximately 35.5 million individual consumers," VF Corp said in an 8-K form filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Thursday.
"VF has not detected any evidence to date that any consumer passwords were acquired by the threat actor."
