Cylance Confronts Ghosts of Data Past: Old Breach Haunts Cyber Firm with $750K Price Tag

When cyber-chatter gets real: Cylance’s ‘old data’ lands on the market, courtesy of Sp1d3r. For a cool $750k, get a blast from the past – 34 million emails from 2015 to 2018. Cybersecurity nostalgia, anyone?

Hot Take:

Looks like Cylance is playing the cybersecurity equivalent of "Hot Potato" with their data breach, passing off the blame to a nebulous third-party platform. Meanwhile, Sp1d3r's out here trying to spin straw into gold, turning ancient marketing data into a cool three-quarters of a million bucks. And hold on, are we sure Snowflake isn't just a front for a high-stakes game of "Capture the Flag" for cybercriminals?
