So, another day, another data breach. This one is the motherload. 16 Billion, with a B, credentials, ie usernames and passwords. Almost all of the data is new, there’s about 200 million records that were known breaches. The breach stretches across providers, operating systems and vendors. It is not from a singular attack, but a compilation of a long exfiltration of data via infostealers and similar.

What does that mean for you? Go change your important passwords, again. Use a password manager. Passkeys are becoming more common, but I haven’t researched them so have no opinion. The ones I’ve seen use biometrics, and my work systems don’t have cameras.

This is a big deal, and you should pay attention to it.

All surveillance technology is bad.

“The surveillance company Flock told employees at an all-hands meeting Friday that its new people search product, Nova, will not include hacked data from the dark web. The announcement comes a little over a week after 404 Media broke the news about internal tension at the company about plans to use breached data, including from a 2021 Park Mobile data break.

Immediately following the all-hands meeting, Flock published details of its decision in a public blog post it says is designed to "correct the record on what Flock Nova actually does and does not do." The company said that following a "lengthy, intentional process" about what data sources it would use and how the product would work, it has decided not to supply customers with dark web data.”
