SPOTLIGHT
A technology news platform has had a large portion of its user base recently dumped online. The news site, which covers stories like the latest crypto analysis, economics and Elon Musk's next joke. A team member noticed the data in circulation publicly with hashed SHA256 passwords, mobile numbers, and full names.
And then an AI company with a flashy website and great advertising has suffered a data breach. The company is, in their words, an "AI Ecosystem Platform" that boosts your sales - that old chestnut. It has a lot of funding and has some big brand names as partners plastered across its home page, including Meta. The usual datasets were exposed included along with various biometric data.
And finally, a team member found a treasure trove of breached data within a collection of 500+ breaches exposed online. The exposed data is limited to accounts where encrypted passwords have been 'cracked' to plaintext passwords.
