LockBit says they stole data in London Drugs ransomware attack
the LockBit ransomware gang claimed they were behind the April cyberattack on Canadian pharmacy chain London Drugs and is now threatening to publish stolen data online after allegedly failed negotiations
Going through this excellent book by Shaun Pinner, much recommended! There’s many lessons to learn from this book but from my #infosec angle there are a few. Firstly, always keep an off-line maps app on your phone (I use OsmAnd). As a test — switch on airplane mode and try to survive for a day. Can you still navigate from point A to point B? Secondly, keep your social media profiles friends-only access. Thirdly, don’t keep any passwords in memory - it’s a bad practice from security point of view anyway, but I never thought about the interrogation angle. A password manager locked with biometrics and PIN and random passwords everywhere will prevent you from finding yourself in situation where you’ll be begging your interrogators to check another password because you might have remembered wrong.

Hey #infosec and various old school #hacker types out there. Ages ago I read a tale about a print server that was the source of an intrusion into some system that the author of this tale was trying to secure. In other words, the print server (at some ISP in Australia) had been popped and from there the attacker was getting into other systems. If you were around in the last century and involved in tech and security you might have read this in some zine or blog. A pointer to a copy of this tale would be appreciated, and you will be rewarded in a large quantity of Zorkmids. And if you get the Zorkmids reference, surely you might recall this tale. Boosts appreciated.
@QubesOS@debian well... I guess that will be one of my upcoming Twitch streams. Who wants to hang out with me as I completely reinstall Qubes OS on my @purism Librem 14 laptop with the Librem Key. May as well do it before @defcon now and get the @mullvadnet and @yubico set back up. Plus I am migrating from Ledger to Trezor.
I am a run-of-the-mill Android-phone-Windows-desktop-Gmail-user but now I'm in the process of transitioning from Gmail and using Duck Duck Go to research how to set up a Linux desktop.
Oh, and also now Signal-curious.
What is this place? Some kind of privacy cult LOL?
I'll be making a new account on this server solely for my bot testing for my API tinkering so I don't accidentally spam my account feed. Because I am planning to do some live tinkering to improve my Twitch stream alerter for Mastodon as Snyk.io is screaming at me for some security fixes, and I need to update the libraries used and get it working with a secrets manager and AWS Lambda. I'll livestream some of the tinkering on #twitch in a few weeks https://github.com/ChiefGyk3D/twitch-and-toot/tree/main#infosec#cybersecurity
