@Natasha_Jay just last week I plugged in my old backup solution, a singular external hard drive, and found out that it died overnight.
It's like your mechanic that drives a beater car. IT pros do not always follow their own advice 😅

Whoops. The data broker giant LexisNexis has suffered another data breach. LN says the data taken was no big deal. The group claiming credit for the breach claims otherwise, of course.
This brings back memories of previous breach stories. One of my first big scoops that made the WaPo dead tree edition's front page involved a breach at LexisNexis in 2005 that exposed >300k consumer records. That breach was from a group of 15-18y/os in the US who also social engineered T-Mobile into giving them access to Paris Hilton's cell phone and the nudes w/in.
In 2013, I published a scoop about a LexisNexis breach that came from group of criminal hackers who had seized control over ssndob[.]ru, then the largest ID theft service in the underground. In that months-long investigation, we found the hackers had installed backdoors on servers at LexisNexis, Dun & Bradstreet, and Kroll and were using them as part of a small and custom data broker botnet.

⚠️ Update: #Iran has now been cut off from the world for 36 hours with metrics showing connectivity at 1% of ordinary levels.
The internet blackout imposed on Saturday morning continues to limit Iranians' access to information as the war with the US and Israel widens regionally.
I usually find Louis Rossmann a bit intense, but his latest video was super enjoyable.
Humour is often the best way to bring complex issues to light while making people interested. The Norwegian Consumer Council really hit the ball, here. Watch their brilliant video on #enshittification:
