Why Missourians can’t receive COVID notifications on their phone

What if your phone could tell you if you’ve been exposed to COVID-19?

Given recent developments, re-upping our statement from the summer. Bottom line: time to brush up on Iranian TTPs and pay close attention to your critical systems, particularly ICS. Make sure you’re also watching third party accesses! dhs.gov/news/2019/06/22/cisa…

TeamViewer, PowerShell, Cobalt Strike, and Metasploit Pro are a few legitimate tools cybercriminals use to break into enterprise networks, move laterally within them, and maintain persistence. What other tools are they using for illicit activity? ow.ly/JNte50vDw0d

The sale of some 773M email addresses and 21M unique passwords on a hacking forum has been dubbed the biggest ever. People are freaking out. But according to the guy selling this, it's neither new nor the biggest. It's about 2-3 years old krebsonsecurity.com/2019/01/…

Sometimes Linkedin can be creepily helpful. I was researching this money mule recruitment gang that's been hiring via Linkedin and a day later Linkedin sends me an email suggesting other companies similar to the one I looked up. Looks like I may have found more mule groups.

Serious question: How is what Uber did any different from companies paying to get files back after ransomware infections? In the latter case, the victim org (at least during the initial scramble/emergency) probably doesn't know whether the attackers have local copies of the data
