Disney's streaming service Disney+ launched this week which after a few days hackers have already hijacked thousands of accounts and have placed them on the dark web for sale which are going for about 3 to 5 dollars. the reason why they got access to those accounts is by password reuse. they can lock you out of getting your account back by changing the email associated with the account, which stops users from using automated password reset to regain access.

Las Cruces Public School District had to wipe over 30,000 computers due to an attack with ransomware. The district's email system, being cloud-based with the provider's own cyber security systems, was unaffected. =18.2px The medical records and administrative staff to print student transcripts or access parent contact information were all wiped out.

The Dark Side of Quantum Computing 
     In 1994 when the internet was going public a  mathematician invented a algorithm that would be able to factor large number of prime factors given aquantum computer with a sufficiently large number of qubits and sufficiently low noise level (a problem for quantum computers).This ability to factor large primes more quickly would allow those in possession of a quantum computer to break the asymmetric encryption the encryption scheme at the heart of most internet communication schemes including SSL which you use every time you buy something from Amazon or view your bank account online. the blazing speed of quantum computers also allows them to brute force symmetric encryption, which is used to encrypt data when it is stored. This leads most experts to believe that when quantum computers of sufficient size exist both encryption of data in motion and at rest no longer will be safe.

An official cryptocurrency site was hacked. Monero, the website, had its linux and windows binary codes changed somehow. So customers whom thought they were protecting their bitcoin wallets, simply had all their bitcoin HIJACKED!!!  The good news is that only users who downloaded the CLI wallet between Monday the 18th 2:30 am - 4:30 om UTC before the threat was noticed and taken care of.
