Collaborate Disseminate
I suggest, based on my experiences with data breaches over the years, that AT&T is about to have a very bad time of it. Class actions following data breaches have become all too common and I’ve written before about how much I despise them. The trouble
A serious but not sombre intro this week: I mentioned at the start of the vid that I had the classic visor hat on as I’d had a mole removed from my forehead during the week, along with another on the back of my hand. Here in Australia,
Let’s get straight to the controversial bit: email address validation. A penny-drop moment during this week’s video was that the native browser address validator rejects many otherwise RFC compliant forms. As an example, I asked ChatGTP about the validity of the pipe symbol during the live
How on earth are we still here? You know, that place where breached companies stand up and go all Iraqi information minister on the incident as if somehow, flatly denying the blatantly obvious will make it all go away. It’s the ease of debunking the “no breach

The Spoutible incident just has so many interesting aspects to it: loads of data that should never be returned publicly, awesome response time to the disclosure, lacklustre transparency in their disclosure, some really fundamental
I told ya so. Right from the beginning, it was pretty obvious what “MOAB” was probably going to be and sure enough, this tweet came true:
Interesting find by @MayhemDayOne, wonder if it was from a shady breach search service (we’ve seen a bunch shut down
I spent longer than I expected talking about Trello this week, in part because I don’t feel the narrative they presented properly acknowledges their responsibility for the incident and in part because I think the impact of scraping in general is misunderstood. I suspect many of us are
They’re an odd thing, credential lists. Whether they’re from a stealer as in this week’s Naz.API incident, or just aggregated from multiple data breaches (which is also in Naz.API), I inevitably get some backlash after loading them: “this doesn’t
