I’ll be talking about the Genesis marketplace takedown on @TimesRadio tonight at 23:30, with a husky voice, in case anyone needs help falling asleep. #cyberattacks #hacking #CyberSecurity #infosec

The FBI have taken down the Genesis marketplace, which was used to sell personal details of anyone and everyone they could. I'll be on Times Radio at 23:30, but in the meantime, here's some advice on what to do:🧵

6. Turn on 2-factor authentication (sometimes called Multi-factor or 2 step verification). App-based MFA (such as google authenticator) is better than text message, but anything is waaay better than nothing

5. Change your password for all your important websites. Use a long password, constructed like a sentence or three random words.
105
4. Update and run your anti-virus programme on your laptop/desktop
125
3. Logout of all existing sessions you have running

2. If it is, go to any affected website and if they have the option, see if there are any other open sessions and kill those.

1. Go to the "Have I been Pwned website" and click to get notified of any breach. This will tell you if your data was on Genesis

WH Smith hacked today - not ransomware this time, my guess is that they've got into their HR system. Lots of personal information accessed of employees (current and former). #hacking #whsmith #ransomware #cyber #cyberattacks

Thank you to @CVC_Capital for inviting us to your Cyber Security Spotlight event today! @rdshapland #ethicalhacker spoke on how to determine the effectiveness of your cyber security and the only real way to find out is... by trying to get it hacked into.
