Twitter Security Breach

Surprise! One more reason to love Twitter a bit less. Guessing it's the celebs' private info which fetches customers, but yhey. FYI

FWIW, reported by a cybersecurity expert, on Mastodon, with a note that he was suspended by Twitter shortly after posting this.
My my, either Elon is sitting there monitoring everything himself, or his new "moderation team" is busy filtering out #truth .

5.4 million Twitter users' stolen data leaked online — more shared privately

Drizly CEO accountable for alleged security failures

The agency announced Monday that its four commissioners had voted unanimously to issue a proposed order against alcohol delivery platform Drizly and its CEO James Cory Rellas for allegedly failing to implement adequate security measures, which eventually resulted in a data 2020 breach exposing personal information on about 2.5 million consumers.

The FTC claims that despite being alerted to the security concerns two years before the breach, Drizly and Rellas did not do enough to protect their users’ information.

While settlements like this are not that uncommon for the FTC, its decision to name the CEO and have the stipulations follow him beyond his tenure at Drizly exemplifies an approach favored by Democratic Chair Lina Khan. Some progressive enforcers have argued that naming tech executives in their lawsuits should create a stronger deterrence signal for other potential violators.

"Australia’s second largest telco has responded to a massive data breach, advising customers to update their password, move house, change names and take on a new identity.

“We’re hopeful that this cyber attack won’t amount to anything, but to be on the safe side we do suggest anyone who has been an Optus customer since 2017 change their name, gender, address and birthday,” Optus CEO Kelly Bayer Rosmarin said in a video message.

She advised to follow the normal identity protocols when updating details. “We suggest you choose a name and gender that you haven’t used in the past 12 months. Your new name should be at least eight characters long and include at least one number and upper-case letter”." ~ The Shovel ;)

Glad I'm in one of the groups that was not hacked

No Metro by T-Mobile, former Sprint prepaid, or Boost customers had their names or PINs exposed,” T-Mobile said.

T-Mobile customers should expect to see phishers taking advantage of public concern over the breach to impersonate the company — and possibly even messages that include the recipient’s compromised account details to make the communications look more legitimate.
