The flaw associated with the MOVEit flaw keeps collecting victim. The latest victim is SunLife Financial in the US. Here’s the details:
While Sun Life U.S. does not use MOVEit, the file transfer software that was targeted in the attack, one of its vendors, Pension Benefit Information (PBI), said some members’ personal information was accessed by an unauthorized third party during the incident.
Sun Life says it shares certain information with PBI to support business operations such as paying life insurance and related benefits in a timely manner.
Additionally, PBI uses MOVEit to transfer files internally and between parties.
Hackers were able to access information such as name, Social Security Number, policy and account number, and/or date of birth of some members and account holders.
However, no financial information like account values or medical claims were exposed, according to a notice from Sun Life U.S.
I swear that tomorrow I’ll be sharing another victim of MOVEit. Either directly because they use MOVEit or a company they work with does. Either way, the results are that it doesn’t end well.
The company assured its members they take information security “very seriously” and are conducting an investigation with PBI.
Twitter’s Traffic Is In Free Fall According To The CEO Of Cloudflare
Posted in Commentary with tags Twitter on July 9, 2023 by itnerdI just became aware of a Tweet by a guy named Matthew Price who is the CEO of Cloudflare. Because he’s the CEO of Cloudflare, he’s in a place where he can tell what websites are popular, and which ones aren’t. He put up a Tweet showing traffic levels at Twitter. To quote Eddard “Ned” Stark from Game Of Thrones, Brace yourselves:
Clearly, traffic going to Twitter is dropping off a cliff. Which means that if you’re an advertiser and Linda Yaccarino knocks on your door saying that you should advertise on Twitter, you can show her this and ask her why you should bother seeing as traffic to Twitter is falling. I very much doubt that she would have a good answer for you.
I would like to see this graph after Threads has been around for a couple of weeks to see if Threads is truly “killing”Twitter. If traffic to Twitter continues to fall, then it’s safe to say that Elon Musk wasted $44 billion and he’s pretty much screwed.
