@404mediaco interestingly, Shinyhunters removed the listing from their site¹. I attached a screenshot I found displaying the listing while it was still live (better than this screenpic lol).

With the recent Chipsoft hack by the same group, the removal of the listing by the site indicated negotiations by the hacked and the hacker were ongoing. Chipsoft likely ended up paying, since they report the data was deleted.

@404mediaco This is pretty big.

I wonder how many providers carry ransomware insurance. I never heard of such a thing until after the ARRL went through this.

@404mediaco this story buries the lede,

Most campuses have bad backup policies and processes.

And parents still see nothing wrong with the fact that their kids' school-issued laptops have cameras and won't work with the camera taped over.

Absolutely zero concern that crime gangs (and edutech company employees) are probably gawking at their kids IN THEIR BEDROOMS through that insecure piece of lowest-bidder trash.
