Update. While the #ThomsonReuters employee letter is not yet public, #Poynter quotes from it: "The detrimental actions of #ICE, and the #DHS’s lack of oversight and direct falsehoods regarding the situation in #Minnesota and other cities, makes us question if our investigative products and services are being used in accordance with our mission and values, as well as in accordance with the law and our nation’s constitution.”

The same article links to a similar letter from #RELX employees to management about a $22.1 million contract with ICE. RELX is the parent company of #LexisNexis and #Elsevier.

That letter is public. From the RELX employee letter: "We are deeply concerned that RELX is directly aiding the separation of families, the removal of children from schools and the death of individuals in detention centers."

RELX deleted a page from its FAQ, posted during the Biden administration, saying that its tools would not be used for these purposes. But here's a copy from the #WaybackMachine.

Incident overview: LexisNexis Legal & Professional division.

Confirmed unauthorized access to limited servers containing mostly legacy data (pre-2020). Data reportedly included:
• Customer identifiers
• Business contact information
• Support tickets, survey IP addresses
• Account records for agencies and firms

Company position:
– Contained incident
– No SSNs or financial data involved
– No product/service compromise observed
– Forensic firm engaged, law enforcement notified

Legacy data remains a recurring exposure vector:
Weak segmentation
Reduced monitoring priority
Accumulated credential reuse
Extended retention without operational necessity
Are your deprecated systems treated as high-risk assets or low-priority archives?

The #firsttime I saw #internet it was on a internship-fieldtrip to a #legal #library (wanted to be a lawyer then, 1995). So they showed us #LexisNexis (remembered as nexuslexus), it amazed me.
search all newspapers for any name? Was this the internet? Vivid memory. Even found my dad on there.

but on second thought, we were using AOL chat at home, and we had email. But we DIDNT have google search, right? we didn’t have browsers yet. Those came next, on CD discs to install for free via dialup phone connection.
