“I don’t lose as much sleep over a hobby account. That said, the risk to users “is largely dependent on the decisions they’ve made online, the direct results of which services they trust, and information they share,” said Core’s Rudolph. “The biggest threat … is that people are horrible at choosing unique passwords,” Core Security Systems Engineer Bobby Kuzma told TechNewsWorld. However, data stolen from LinkedIn and Myspace were protected by simple, unsalted SHA-1 hashes, Sophos’ Ducklin noted. That may have led to the Tumblr hack data being offered for a measly 0.4255 bitcoins, equivalent to US$225, on the dark web. Tumblr’s user data was hashed, using an uncommon type of hash developed by the company, said InfoArmor’s Komarov. “There will undoubtedly be more breaches,” he told TechNewsWorld.
“Some organizations that hackers’ skills and their tools are becoming even more sophisticated,” remarked Craig Kensek, a security expert at Lastline. “It’s not going to stop until we wise up, or until breach information is no longer profitable to hackers for money or leverage,” observed Jon Rudolph, principal software engineer at Core Security. “We have information that the same hackers are preparing for the sale of data from a big social network from 2011 or 2012, along with many other resources,” InfoArmor’s Komarov told TechNewsWorld. How many more such mega breaches could yet surface? How many have not yet been publicized because the stolen data hasn’t yet been offered on the market? The delay, the size of the breaches, and the fact that the stolen data was offered this month may indicate the hacks were related, Hunt noted. It’s possible “the people currently selling are acting as proxies and aren’t the hackers themselves,” noted Andrew Komarov, chief intelligence officer at InfoArmor. None of the breaches connected to the records for sale were recent - all occurred three or more years ago, Hunt pointed out. Tumblr’s exposure may have involved 65 million records, according to some reports. The Myspace breach may have involved as many as 427 million records, according to Sophos Senior Security Advisor Paul Ducklin. It’s not clear exactly how much data was stolen. The data for sale is listed by someone with the handle “peace_of_mind,” who is “peddling a quality product,” Hunt said. Dark web customers also have been invited to purchase 50 million records Tumblr account records and 40 million stolen from. 6 beautiful, detailed and futuristic race tracks of varying difficulty. Features include: 6 exciting anti-gravity racing ships from easily agile to ultra-fast. The LinkedIn data breach led to 117 million records being offered for sale. CoreBreach is THE brand-new futuristic 'anti-gravity'.
The granddaddy of the bunch is the Myspace breach - 360 million records have been offered for sale, Hunt said. “Any one of these four I’m going to talk about on their own would be notable, but to see a cluster of them appear together is quite intriguing.” “Over the period of this month, we’ve seen an interesting trend of data breaches,” wrote security researcher Troy Hunt, operator of the Have I Been Pwned website.

HOWEVER, for you STAR TREK junkies - pick up the new ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY, as it's the first step to lifting the veil of secrecy off the direction of this beloved franchise. I just can't wait to see the next trailer which will really give everyone an idea of what this film is. Had the eyebrow gymnastics down and the slight wry irony of observing these Humans down perfectly. It is strange, it feels like a million years ago when JJ showed me the brief snippets of STAR TREK that he was willing to share, but looking at the below still of Sylar as SPOCK - I can't help but remember just how perfect he was in the scenes I saw. The cover of the new Entertainment Weekly has Kirk & Spock v.2.0 on the cover doing their best "strike a pose" - but inside the issue is the real treats - actual shots from the film.
