The FBI tells every employee to assume their data may be compromised following Shiny Hunters hack. Rival gang clop says Shiny Hunters extortion demand is worthless. And Shiny Hunters may have a new leader following Dutch arrest. Meanwhile, file sharing service Kipeworks turned the lights back on.
This is Cybersecurity Today and I'm your host, David Shipley. Let's get started. The FBI is telling its own people to assume the worst following a catastrophic data breach. In an internal memo reviewed by the New York Times, the bureau says it's working on the premise that Shiny Hunters took the personal information of every FBI employee.
Last week, FBIjobs.gov displayed a banner claiming the site had been seized by Shiny Hunters. On the site, a giant Pokémon character called Umbreon was displayed. It's been Shiny Hunter's unofficial mascot, but it may have also been an attempt at framing one of its leaders.
That was the opening. The rest of the episode (13 min) is in the player: every word clickable, with translation, saved words and flashcards.
