SPOTLIGHT

An interesting breach that caught our eye this week involved a massive multimedia corporation based in Mexico City. The company was founded 50 years ago and now broadcasts on television and radio and has its own streaming network. Unfortunately, threat actors managed to exfiltrate a large SQL database of COVID records from their entire work force, which is around 42K employees. The threat actors commented on the breach data, saying "we ate Mac n’ Cheese while hacking these telecoms." Not the healthiest of meals for being sat in front of the screen all evening.

Next, a threat actor managed to gain access to an active directory of a college in British Columbia. Kudos to them, when you visit the college website, they actually have a drop-down box at the top of the page informing the reader of a cyber incident. What’s more, they have a detailed account of what happened and what to do as well as a Q&A section with what to look for. There is even an offer for students and staff to subscribe for two years to premium credit monitoring services. We almost fell off our chairs reading this. What a great example to follow, we'd go as far as saying exemplary response.

And finally a word on Stealer Malware Logs that you may have noticed becoming more prominent each week. Let's just say they are a treasure trove of personal information and continue to be on the rise, don't take our word for it, just search the term on your preferred engine.
