Personal data of 4,100 cardholders, donors, and job applicants may have been compromised in the Toronto Public Library (TPL) Cyber attack in 2023 A year after a cyberattack crippled Toronto Public Library (TPL) systems, an investigation revealed that the personal data of 4,100 cardholders, donors, and job applicants may have been compromised. The breach, affecting individuals with dealings with the library from 2010 to 2023, exposed contact details, physical descriptions, and photos. Current and former staff data, including sensitive information like social insurance numbers, were also impacted. The attack, discovered on October 28, 2023, disrupted library services for months. TPL has since enhanced its cybersecurity measures and reported the breach to Ontario's Information and Privacy Commissioner.

"My security maturity will stop attacks and anyway I can restore everything instantly". We get told this regularly from organizations that fight against trying something new or they don't know about. We've used the Prudential Financial data breach as an example. We could have used Santander, NHS, Infosys McCamish Systems (IMS), Agropur or any other successful attacks. All these companies are mature, will have leading security tools deployed and still get breached. Why, because security tools need to learn about something they don't know (or take a guess). Until the tools can stop everything, make sure the data that the Hacker is after can be secure and unable to be compromised. No not another security tool and not another backup tool.

Great column by Michael Hiltzik in the Los Angeles Times. 'Data breaches affecting hundreds of thousands or millions of consumers have become such familiar features of the consumer landscape that the guilty companies respond with a standard playbook replete with promises to customers. The breached companies also attest to their determination to get to the bottom of the hacks, and to their commitment to customer security. AT&T’s recent breach disclosure included this pledge: “Protecting your data is one of our top priorities.”' “Why does AT&T keep so much information on so many users?” Cahn asks. “They have a perverse incentive to hold on to as much of our data as possible, to think about new ways to mine it for value. When they do that, we’re the ones put at risk.” https://lnkd.in/dyyx8Hs2

"Still, about that time, the hackers' moves tripped a wire with the insurer's security software, which sent alerts to an IT security email." I say, 🌟 🌟Email, where all good alerts go to die.🌟🌟 It does not surprise me that an alert was missed in email. It's just not the right place to do triage and because alerts are noisy it was probably auto-filed to an "Alerts" folder, you know you have one if you have ever been in operations 😝 There is a part of me that wants to pull the alert -> email feature from security technologies, forcing the user to think about where the alert will go so it can be properly triaged. https://lnkd.in/gTDZp2rt

Governor Daniel McKee has urged residents to take proactive measures to protect their personal information. The state has partnered with Experian to offer a toll-free hotline for affected individuals seeking guidance on safeguarding their data. Additionally, impacted households will receive notification letters with instructions on enrolling in free credit monitoring services.
𝐃𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 The breach was first detected on December 5, 2024, when Deloitte, the vendor responsible for RIBridges, notified the state of a potential security incident. By December 10, it was confirmed that unauthorized access had occurred, with evidence suggesting data exfiltration. In response, the state directed Deloitte to shut down the RIBridges system on December 13 to mitigate further risks. 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐝 The leaked data includes personally identifiable information (PII) such as names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and certain banking details. Both adults and minors who have utilized services like Medicaid, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and HealthSource RI may be affected.

The CrowdStrike software issue might be in the past now, but it will certainly be remembered as one of the biggest IT failures ever. The impact was well and truly felt across the globe, but as with any 'failure', there are always lessons we can look back on. So many of my clients at Mercury Accounting & Financial Services Ltd work in the tech and cyber industry, and if there's one thing I've learnt, it's to always have a defence strategy and backup plan in place. The unfortunate reality is that anyone can become a victim of cyberattacks or IT issues, how you respond to that is what really matters. I'm sure that blue screen of death will be haunting people for a very long time now... #crowdstrike #businesssupport #techindustry #mercuryaccounting

Feeling blue? We are here for you! The recent global IT outage, caused by a CrowdStrike update error, affected over 49 million people and resulted in S$1.4 billion in damages. This incident has demonstrated how a single mistake can have far-reaching consequences for government agencies, financial institutions, healthcare providers, and individual users, underscoring vulnerabilities in our interconnected digital infrastructure. While it’s essential to clarify that this issue was not due to a cyberattack, effective crisis communication is vital to avoid unnecessary panic among the public. At Nautilus Assure, we understand the profound implications of such incidents.

Last financial year in Australia, a cybercrime was reported every six minutes, and the average cost of cybercrime per report was up 14% on the previous year – $46,000 for a small business, $97,200 for a medium-sized business, and $71,600 for a large business. The scale of the threat to businesses globally is enormous – after all, almost every business today uses the internet in some way, shape or form, and is therefore vulnerable to attacks and scams.
