Comment on 200M Records of US Citizens Leaked in Unprotected Database
That was a very good article Kelly, I am not that technical but I see Data is the new gold as we are advancing in AI data is going to be the main target for hackers, I also learnt from this article single point of failure bound to happen in my opinion Blockchain technology will help to secure database. Thank you for sharing the wonderful article love to read more article and gain knowledge thank you again Kelly

Re: Comment on 200M Records of US Citizens Leaked in Unprotected Database
Wow, another breach where human error and misconfiguration played a role in 800 million records found on the Internet. The data privacy and the controls that were once supposed to be implemented are out of the door. AWS, Azure and GCP have put in measures to help with user error and oversight but it seems that it continues to happen. I am looking for GDPR or FTC to take a front seat to address this issue (sanctions and injunctions) but it seems that this will get brushed under the rug for someone's incompetence work. This is almost laughable but the sheer detail of informaiton found on the web, that had been monitoried months by a security team over the internet is sad. Someone's job or jail time needs to be involved because this PII infromation could be used for nefarious purposes that could affect the lives of citizens across the US (credit monitoring from Experian is not going to fix this, lol).

AWS S3 Bucket



I am trying to figure out why couldn't they do that on the various S3 buckets that were found in the public domain, just curious or someone from the inside set it up to make them look bad (disgruntled employee). I dont' put anything past emotional turmoil.

Everything You Need to Know About DNS Attacks
It's important to understand DNS, potential attacks against it, and the tools and techniques required to defend DNS infrastructure. This report answers all the questions you were afraid to ask. Domain Name Service (DNS) is a critical part of any organization's digital infrastructure, but it's also one of the least understood. DNS is designed to be invisible to business professionals, IT stakeholders, and many security professionals, but DNS's threat surface is large and widely targeted. Attackers are causing a great deal of damage with an array of attacks such as denial of service, DNS cache poisoning, DNS hijackin, DNS tunneling, and DNS dangling. They are using DNS infrastructure to take control of inbound and outbound communications and preventing users from accessing the applications they are looking for. To stop attacks on DNS, security teams need to shore up the organization's security hygiene around DNS infrastructure, implement controls such as DNSSEC, and monitor DNS traffic
