Podcasts about ourmine

For the 131st episode of the Kaspersky Transatlantic Cable Podcast, Dave and I are all about the idioms and lolz -kind of (spoiler - you’ll have to give a listen to see). To start things off, we take a look at a US natural gas company that is in the news for the wrong reasons. In this story, the company was closed for two days following a ransomware attack. While ransomware is nothing new to readers of this blog, the part that is interesting is that the government assessment notes that the plant was not prepared for a cyberattack as part of an emergency. From there we head across the US, where, Ring has made the use of 2FA obligatory for users. While most should be happy with the additional step towards privacy, there are still some naysayers. The third story of the week takes a look at how Puerto Rico’s government was swindled out of a couple of million dollars in a phishing scheme. As a follow-up from last week’s podcast, we take a look at the EU’s response to Facebook’s call for regulations on fake news and politically-driven advertisements. To close out the podcast, we discuss the latest victim of OurMine, FC Barcelona. If you like what you heard, please consider sharing with your friends or subscribing.

The podcast is aimed at professionals who are short on time, or for anyone who would like to know a bit more about what is REALLY happening out there in the cyber world. This time covering: 1. Facebook's official accounts on Twitter and Instagram have been temporarily taken over and then defaced by a group of hackers known as OurMine. 2.Maastricht University located in the netherlands disclosed that it paid 30 bitcoin ransom requested by the attackers who encrypted some of its critical systems following a cyberattack that took place on December 23, 2019. The university also disclosed that it acquired the ransomware decryptor from the attackers by paying a 30 bitcoin ransom (roughly $220,000) to restore all the encrypted files as Reuters reported.

If you haven’t accepted the fact that you are not immune from exploitation and a data breach, then perhaps OurMine, the anonymous Saudi Arabian hacking group can help shed some light. OurMine, known for its 2016 series of notable breaches, including Twitter accounts belonging to Wikipedia’s Jimmy Wales, Pokemon Go creator John Hanke, Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, Google’s CEO Sundar Pichai, and even Mark Zuckerberg, is back again, this time targeting half the NFL, International Olympic Committee, and FC Barcelona.

Dave and I open up the latest episode of the Kaspersky Transatlantic Cable Podcast, looking at recent research from the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF). Dave and I open up looking at an interesting unsecured server. The research from the EFF goes under the hood in regards to privacy and the Ring. In this case, the privacy violation is data sharing with third parties. While on the topic of privacy, we then hop across the pond and look at GDPR. I know, everyone’s favorite topic. In this article, we get a look at the financial impact of the regulation as compared to regulations in the US. The third story jumps into the world of corporate espionage. This fitness related story has some underlying data management issues that should put companies in an uneasy state when looking in the mirror. Our fourth story showcases the return of the notorious OurMine group. Instead of hacking into the celebrity or C-suite accounts that they have become synonymous with, the group has gained access to 15 of the National Football League (NFL) teams’ accounts. To close out the podcast, we revisit the Windows 7 end of service. While they said they were done with fixes, it seems that we – and they – spoke a bit too soon.

The Twitter accounts of 16 NFL teams were compromised by the hacking group OurMine. Instead of spreading malicious activity they promoted security awareness.

They say April is the cruelest month, but HBO may beg to differ. The company kicked off August with an apparently massive breach of its servers, in which hackers pilfered everything from full episodes of unreleased shows to sensitive internal documents.

And Thursday, hacker group OurMine hijacked HBO's main Twitter account, along with those of several HBO shows.

The newspaper's video account, @nytvideo, sent a tweet at 9:40am on Sunday about a missile attack from Russia against the United States. The tweet was quickly deleted, but subsequent tweets soon popped up claiming to be from OurMine, a group that has hacked high-profile social media accounts, including Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey.
