A selection of this week’s more interesting vulnerability disclosures and cyber security news. I certainly have some ‘wow’ items for you this week. The first just does not bear thinking about as to the potential impact this breach could have – it really is an horrorfic ‘wow’: We know that BEC fraud schemes hope to take pot luck at a busy employee’s lapse of proceedure, but when they really have you in their eyes, the grip can be just ‘wow’.
A selection of this week’s more interesting vulnerability disclosures and cyber security news. Well what an amazing choice this week, it has been hard to choose. But this first one, one that appear just before I started writing this blog entry has to make it as the top story. It is so bizarre and a real first!
A selection of this week’s more interesting vulnerability disclosures and cyber security news. Leaky bucket time once again. With so much effort by the providers to make it as hard as possible to accidentally expose data, then for the devs to try really hard to undo all of that because they are too lazy (or lack understanding) to do a proper job, is utterly mystifying. Please, please try and make the effort...

A selection of this week’s more interesting vulnerability disclosures and cyber security news. A report on the absolutely tragic death resulting from failed safety systems.

A selection of this week’s more interesting vulnerability disclosures and cyber security news. Quite a bizarre selection for you this week. The first, and well, what can I say? Another example of our robot overlords failing.
A selection of this week’s more interesting vulnerability disclosures and cyber security news. A great choice in the news this week. I have to start with a huge breach of another hotel chain with the added misfortune that it also reaped US military bookings. Ouch.
A selection of this week’s more interesting vulnerability disclosures and cyber security news. From time to time we hear stories of supply chain infections, and they tend to affect a low but still significant number of projects. A team though have gone a bit further in seeing how far they could take it. The results are sobering.
A selection of this week’s more interesting vulnerability disclosures and cyber security news. Amazing, if not scary selection of news items this week. However, I’m going to pick out three curious and on the face of it ones that would otherwise fly past without interest. The first, and its a subject that really interests me: How do the scammers succeed at social engineering so frequently? Perhaps we can learn a little bit more from this one.
A selection of this week’s more interesting vulnerability disclosures and cyber security news. A serious breach from a popular game was announced earlier in the week. Considering the prevalence of linking many such games with Facebook and other social media platforms, such an exposure gives a great ‘way in’.
