BBC suffers data breach impacting current, former employees
The BBC has disclosed a data security incident that occurred on May 21, involving unauthorized access to files hosted on a cloud-based service, compromising the personal information of BBC Pension Scheme members.
As per the reports, the incident impacted roughly 25,000 people
#Jacobin writes about "A BBC journalist [who] writes that editors at the broadcaster are afraid of reprimand from their bosses for reporting that displeases the Israeli government, leading to the #BBC’s consistently holding back from reporting the full horrors of #Israel’s war on #Gaza."
Somehow it is difficult to be surprised. Self-censorship the hardest to fight.
Ep.1 is about The Well and British Journalist #JamieBartlett claims that The Well was the world's first social network.
Before he was even born the Brits (and Europeans!) were running big, successful online social media sites and I think we mostly understood the potential consequences.
From an American? Fine - But come on BBC/Jamie! Do your research or get Tom Sandage to fact-check a little. Grr!
On/around 27th May 2024, the traffic from Azerbaijan to www.bbc.com & www.bbc.co.uk reduced by over 80%.
Looking at our data, I can see that the vast majority of traffic in Azerbaijan comes from AS29049 (Delta Telecom) which is their majority ISP according to Wikipedia.
OONI says tests were passing as recently as 28th May from AS29049 but there's definitely something going on...Unsure exactly what.
(the gap in AS29049 is a GeoIP data migration) #Azerbaijan#Censorship#InfoSec
Hmm, traffic to www.bbc.com & www.bbc.co.uk from Taiwan is also down - by > 90% on a gradual then accelerated decline from 20th May 2024.
Most affected is Chungwa Telecom (AS3462).
(the gap in AS3462 is a GeoIP data migration).
Other countries/networks data look fine...something doesn't smell right here. #Taiwan#BBC
