We found a public AI repo on GitHub, exposing over 38TB of private files – including personal computer backups of @Microsoft employees 👨💻
How did it happen? 👀
A single misconfigured token in @Azure Storage is all it takes 🧵⬇️

On Sunday, July 9, 2023, early morning UTC time, we observed a high number of DNS resolution failures — up to 7% of all DNS queries across the Asia Pacific region. Here's what happened: cfl.re/44CUS9J

Holy shit. We finally hired another dev a few weeks ago… I gave him access to the codebase yesterday… and suddenly he up and quit today
FUCK whoever made this god damn repo
annie@soychotic
Omg the last commit in the codebase was 8 months ago from a developer who quit with a commit message of just “I’m sorry”

@Rolex_Jodieres @nycgov But even if they did and so did @NYC_GOVERNMENT pay the $8 how can you tell anyway which one is the real one if everyones subscribing for checkmarks.
@nycgov will have it. @nycmayorgov will one .. @nyc_gov_official will have one.. you can just keep making up new user names..
English

@nycgov You pay for your check mark, as much as you want to collect taxes. Lead by example. Imagine if people/businesses would not want to pay their own taxes to the government. Besides, the government collects taxes from Twitter too. Your ego becomes a hindrance to your way of service.

Curious how many people actually signed up for Twitter Blue yesterday and today? Well, I've got the numbers and I'll be telling them to @JoyAnnReid on MSNBC in ten minutes.
Here's a hint: They were net +28 between signups and cancellations. Not 2,800. Twenty-eight.

Introducing acropalypse: a serious privacy vulnerability in the Google Pixel's inbuilt screenshot editing tool, Markup, enabling partial recovery of the original, unedited image data of a cropped and/or redacted screenshot. Huge thanks to @David3141593 for his help throughout!

@bettersafetynet @N3bberz within reason plausible they setup some auth and network connectivity between work <-> home-setup (whether or not they should have).
i'd like to think this explaination than a a very senior tenured eng installed plex and directly doing work on an insecure home server as a norm.
English

@bettersafetynet @N3bberz i was wondering this to but i know who people run thin clients as their computer but remote into a more beef home setup. (especially in the chaos of M1 macs and arm setups).
it could be a case then the network connectivity or sensitive workloads were being done on their homebox
English

Just so I'm tracking this...
They used plex to get on the admin's home machine... but then the admin did what? VPN into work while a keylogger was running?
There's a lot of orgs that have that problem, right?
Is the fix here never VPN in from non-corp hardware?

It was Plex. They exploited Plex to get into the home network, installed a keylogger on a home laptop, and got the corp vault password because the home laptop was logging into it. Targeted high value employee shortly after the initial breach of LastPass. arstechnica.com/information-te…

New details on the 2nd LastPass incident are fun:
- got into Sr DevOp's home via vuln media software
- installed keylogger
- got master pass to corp vault (seemingly because it was being accessed from home computer)
Cool to see that LastPass is sharing this level of detail. Most companies are vulnerable to an attack like this.

@vedant_6 working for large municipal government (nyc) this is totally written into the policy. (otherwise its viewed as stealing from tax payers / wage theft 🤷♂️)
it is bureacratic but rarely enforced but there are policy endorsed permissions slips to verify tardiness by train delay.

@EricJorgenson doing the math.
quantified revenue/society impact
---- divided by ---
# of people x
The biggest number that is close to 1 for organizations of 2 or more.
goes against the definition of an "organization"to count a single person. If a person counts then biggest number >=1 ?
