Spy Satellite Agency’s Unclassified Data Breach: When Cybersecurity Takes a Coffee Break
Tea app secrets have spilled! The app designed to keep women safe, ironically, exposed 72,000 images due to a data breach. Users might wonder if the app’s “Catfish Finder” should have been applied to its own security. Developed by a former Salesforce director, Tea’s data was stored “in compliance” with cyber-bullying laws.
Hot Take:
Oh, the irony! The US spy satellite agency gets hacked, but don’t worry, it’s just the unclassified secrets that slipped through the cracks. Meanwhile, Tea app users are left stewing over their spilled selfies, and the Blacksuit ransomware gang is playing a game of hide and seek with law enforcement. As for the British student selling phishing kits, it seems he’s graduated from university to a seven-year prison sentence. And in the saga of EncroChat, the smallest breadcrumb leads to a big bust. Who knew crime could be such a comedy of errors?
Key Points:
- The National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) experienced a breach, but claims no classified data was compromised.
- The Tea app suffered a data breach, exposing thousands of user images and direct messages.
- Blacksuit ransomware gang’s site was taken down by law enforcement, but a new group, Chaos, seems to have emerged.
- British student Ollie Holman was jailed for selling phishing kits and laundering the proceeds.
- EncroChat messages led to the arrest of a drug dealer by linking him to his semi-famous father.
