Mudge details Twitter's lack of logging, ignoring hackers' ongoing efforts to access its systems, how the FTC let the company “grade its own homework”, and more

A ticking bomb of security vulnerabilities.  Covering up security failures.  Duping regulators and misleading lawmakers.

I have honest Questions about why Ars felt the need to “debunk” this statement, when it really is happening in South Korea and the only clarification is, “no, they haven't switched it on in the US, yet”. Like, they have made the juicero, it now exists in our reality. https://twitter.com/...

Investigation finds ransomware hackers are publishing sensitive information of schoolchildren on the dark web; over 1,200 US K-12 schools had data leaks in 2021

Most don't have bank passwords.  Few have credit scores yet.  And still, parts of the internet are awash in the personal information of millions of schoolchildren.

I don't think people appreciate how effectively Darkside has been ramping up operations mostly under the radar for the last year. This was a very big “oops”. They were doing a really good job of decimating businesses, including infrastructure - and everyone has been really quiet.

DarkSide, the group behind the pipeline attack, claims it wants to make money, not cause “problems for society”, and it'll add “moderation” to picking targets

- A hacker group called DarkSide is behind the cyberattack on Colonial Pipeline that shut down a major oil pipeline over the weekend.

A lot of firms are going to be out there shilling magic boxes to fix “everything” in the coming weeks, but while the malware and anti-forensics in these cases are often quite sophisticated, we see the same lack of security hygiene and basic defense in depth exploited repeatedly.

I keep seeing tweet after tweet lately from my fellow incident responders about preparing for and deterring ransomware attacks, and they are *not* kidding. Things are escalating fast - including the brazenness, cruelty, and quantity. Insurers will only pay out when they must.
