First up, in a plot twist that Conan Doyle would admire, a hacker is handing out 40 million Condé Nast records like candy. And no, there’s no Nobel Prize for data breaches, but nice try. Subscribers are left contemplating their next magazine issue - will it include free identity theft? Next, the Illinois Department of Human Services seems to have mistaken their security settings for a Sudoku puzzle. Nearly 700,000 personal records went public, from what we must assume was a grave misclick. Their solution? A Secure Map Policy and a smile, plus a toll-free number to make it all better - talk about having it under "controll". In a new episode of "What's the Latest Breach?", the BlueDelta Hackers are on a credential-collecting spree. No one's safe, not even Gandalf can stop them sneaking into Microsoft and Google. Meanwhile, Fog Ransomware is swiping VPN credentials faster than you can say "password123". And as predictably as socks with sandals, scammers are using AI to industrialize investment fraud.
