Cyber security worker arrested and charged for hacking personal finical records of millions of taxpayers. Reason he was able to do this so simple is because the lack of security. They believe as a wizard hacker which in actuality used some basic hacking, which shows you how "secured" it was.

The article I am posting about is the vulnerability of a companies firewall and the many ways that hackers can get through. I thought this was an interesting article because of how easy it is to download an app such as firewalk to get through the companies firewall. Also, knowing that you have to Install & Regularly Update Your Antivirus Software, Secure Your Network, Be Alert With Email Attachments, and even turning off your computer is very important information to know.

Kid who DDoS'd Blizzard arrested.
A few weeks ago some kid(s) hit Blizzard with a DDoS attack that took down several WoW servers, and was arrested within a few days. The attacker(s) posted threats to twitter under the username "UKDrillas". Blizzard's IT security reportedly worked immediately with authorities to track the kid(s) down.

Recently, a bunch of pre-2019 Android phones, including Galaxy and Pixel models, are vulnerable to an actively exploited zero-day attack in which hackers have gained root access to devices. The vulnerability stems from the user downloading a malicious app paired with vulnerabilities in Chrome that renders content and delivers payload. Google will be patching the issue in its October Android security update for its Pixel phones, but its unknown if fixes will come for other devices.

Although the Equifax data breach occurred in 2017, we can learn some valuable lessons in network security from it. In this article, we are not only told how they were hacked, but also how the hack could have been prevented. Equifax could have drastically reduced or even entirely mitigated the breach of their servers had they just installed the appropriate software patches, used multi-factor authentication to log into their servers, encrypted their connections with certificates, and kept those certificates up to date. In the conclusion of the initial article it says that no substantial action had been taken against Equifax. This fact has since changed, with the FTC posting this on their website stating that Equifax was ordered to pay up to $425,000,000 in settlements to affected persons in the breach and detailing offered services that will be free to those affected. TL;DR: Equifax did a BIG OOF, and they pretty much did it to themselves.
