200,000 Workers’ PII at Risk in WorkComposer S3 SNAFU

2 weeks ago | securityboulevard.com | Richi Jennings

Workplace surveillance system WorkComposer is under fire this week, for storing sensitive data with zero security. The hapless firm saved more than 21 million screenshots from 200,000 users’ work PC screens—and popped them in an open Amazon Web Services S3 bucket. Hackers could have easily stolen company secrets—and personal ones, too. In today’s SB Blogwatch, we can’t quite believe it. Your humble blogwatcher curated these bloggy bits for your entertainment. Not to mention: ADHD.

Oracle Hack: From ‘Deny-Deny-Deny’ to ‘Oops-Oops-Oops’

1 month ago | securityboulevard.com | Richi Jennings

Larry’s PR angels desperately dance on the head of a pin. Oracle is now admitting that, yes, an Oracle cloud service was breached—or so we’re told by deep throat sources. This is, of course, despite last week’s vehement denials. Yet it’s still not official. And Oracle seems to be justifying its previous denial with a semantic sleight-of-hand worthy of Bill Clinton. In today’s SB Blogwatch, we see men tic. Your humble blogwatcher curated these bloggy bits for your entertainment.

The other 15 are also China owned, but keep it a secret behind shell companies.
