Weekly Update 474

You're not going to believe this - the criminals that took the Qantas data ignored the injunction 😮 I know, I know, we're all a bit stunned that making crime illegal hasn't appeared to stop it, but here we are. Just before the time of writing, I was contacted by someone who received a breach alert from a similar service to HIBP in another part of the world and while it didn't explicitly say "Qantas" (side note: I hate it when other services redact the name), it sure as hell sounded like them based on the description and timing. So, good guys have it, bad guys definitely have it, but we don't have it. Everything goes a bit topsy-turvey once the lawyers get involved...

Oh, and apologies for the audio being a couple of seconds out of sync with the video. Something obviously glitched after a Windows update and reboot. Hope you enjoy listening anyway.

  5. The breach that Prosper lending disclosed earlier last month turned up (quite sizable at 17.6M addresses and quite sensitive info too)
