REvil Makes Monkeys out of Kaseya Customers - Security Boulevard

Wise: No REvil Over the long weekend, a huge ransomware attack emerged. Kaseya, the IT management software supplier, seems to have been the common component used by the criminals to do their dirty deeds.

Things look bad for the #REvil ransomware gang. In today’s #SBBlogwatch, we have little sympathy.

One Medical: Sorry-not-Sorry for Leaking your Personal Info - Security Boulevard

ONEM HIPAA FAIL: Primary care med-tech firm One Medical made an intern-level error this week. It sent email to countless customers with hundreds of other customer email addresses visible in the To: field.

@OneMedical also said “We apologize if,” which is never a good look.

In today’s #SBBlogwatch, we’re unapologetically scathing. At @SecurityBlvd: https://t.co/FAtmzUSoup $ONEM

LinkedIn Leaks 93% of Users’ Data—Refuses Blame for Breach - Security Boulevard

MSFT PR FAIL: LinkedIn is fighting a crescendo of criticism over a huge data breach, which is being sold by criminals. The firm’s PR people claim it’s not, in fact, a breach—nothing to see here, move along.

Instead, countless users get to suffer yet more #spam, #phishing, #IDtheft, #stalking, #doxxing and other nasties. LinkedIn doesn’t care.

In today’s #SBBlogwatch, we’ve had it with this sociopathic company. At @SecurityBlvd: https://t.co/rDmKesNiMt $MSFT

SafeDollar Stablecoin not Safe nor Stable: Hack Sends Value to ZERO - Security Boulevard

Hack or Rug-Pull? SafeDollar, a crypto token that’s pegged to the U.S. dollar, crashed this week. The team behind the Polygon-based stablecoin claim it had been hacked.

That caused the #cryptocurrency’s price to drop to $0, while the hacker got away with $250,000.

A naïve bug, or a malicious insider? In today’s #SBBlogwatch, we prefer Bens.

Did your WD My Book NAS get Wiped? Put a Brave Face on It - Security Boulevard

My Book? Not Any More: A 2019 vulnerability is being exploited to remotely wipe countless Western Digital devices. The WD My Book Live NAS product is coming under attack from Eastern European malefactors.

But that’s no help to people who’ve lost their data. It’s like saying, “Shut the stable door,” after the horse has bolted. In today’s #SBBlogwatch, we force a simile. [You’re fired—Ed.]
