Western Digital Redux: My Cloud Alive Again, Ransom is $10M+ - Security Boulevard

Your Cloud — But For How Long?

10 days on, @WesternDigital #MyCloud drives are alive again. But #ransomware hackers want huge payday—or will release 10TB of pilfered private data.

Has public USB ‘juice jacking’ made it into the wild? - ReversingLabs

🫣@FBIDenver last week warned folks not to plug into public #USB charging stations.

As more and more laptops can charge via USB PD, traveling #DevOps staff (with credentials etc.) need to be aware.

Yes, You CAN Steal This Car — by Opening the Fender - Security Boulevard

Car Makers: CAN You Not?
Thieves are prising open the front fenders of cars, just below the headlight. The idea is to get at the car’s data bus, known as CAN.

😱 @Toyota #RAV4 and many others vulnerable to #CANbus injection attack. Cars need #ZeroTrust too.

Scrotes CAN spoof the keyless ignition.

In today’s #SBBlogwatch, we bemoan lousy vehicle security design.
