There are reels all over Instagram though saying that the statement is bullshit and literally everything is still down, including the parking gates, so :shrug:

Well, I guess at least the perimeter is secure.

I should have been more specific, they can't control the gates, so parking is free at the moment.

It's just ransomware but groups like this often claim to serve some higher purpose. It's not in any way altruistic though, they're criminal enterprises.

I keep going back and forth on if I should change my login information for my MGM Rewards now or later when an all clear is sounded.

It's not really that surprising that a publicly traded company would try to obscure how bad the damage is. They're eating a PR poo poo sandwich at the start of the NFL season going into Halloween along with whatever big Fall concerts the properties have lined up.

I would probably do both. Just assume they have your info from before; Even if they’re still (almost certainly) still persistent, they’ll have to do another exfil. So like.. Change it again when you realistically believe MGM has the situation under control.

1password has started pushing passkeys on me as an end user. Should I set them up, and if so should I use 1password to create and store them?

it's up to you. there is convenience in having everything in one place. there is also risk, both in terms of security (impact wrt. breach) and continuity (losing codes alongside passwords).

there's not really a good-for-everyone answer to that, tbh.

for what it's worth, i have my mfa codes in authy, and store the key material in 1password.

If you care about an account, the two (mfa device & password manager) should be separate devices. If you don't ... then why even have it in a pw manager?

If you care about an account

Can we stop pretending that “care” is a binary choice? I care if someone fucks with my Netflix account because it would be annoying to sort out, and I care about my employer’s stock management portal, because it could definitely cost me money temporarily if someone hosed with it, and I care about my work login because I can authorize 7-digit purchases. Not all of them are worth the same amount of inconvenience to protect. (The first two of mine have MFA codes in Bitwarden, and for the latter I don’t save password in anything.)

You are 100% right, there are many shades of grey to consider. From "I will absolutely do my best to protect this account from any alien interference" to "Password is 1234, who wants to have a go at it?". However, on the internet you cannot really convey or even imagine how much a particular account is worth to someone. Some people go all in and treat any account protection advice like it's gonna have to be safe from the Mossad. Some go the opposite way, smoke a joint and don't worry about it man.

At the end of the day, the safest way is to be 100% paranoid. It's up to you to decide for particular accounts how paranoid you want to be.

If you're stopping to think about it, is it really that much more time to just change it twice?

If I can do a thing for almost zero additional effort or cost that eliminates my worry going forward I do it.

if someone can get in my password manager, then they have access to my device since you'd need my 1password secret key on a new device, at which point it doesn't matter if my mfa is in 1password or not

Anybody know of any good guides or info I can read about hardening Linux for PCI-DSS? I'm being included into a team to talk about it and while I'm not in charge for this group, I would at least like to have a general idea of which direction we should be going.

[edit] I think it's Red Hat and Ubuntu. No idea on the versions.

I could be wrong but I don't believe PCI-DSS is prescriptive in terms of hardening, only that you have a hardening policy and follow it to actually harden your assets.

You can look at something like CIS hardening standard, both levels 1 or 2 depending on how stringent the environment is, but you'll still have to check that your policy says something about the level of compliance and probably speaks to a proper exception/risk process since it's unlikely you'll hit 100% on any hardening standard without impacting something running.

This. PCI-DSS really doesn't give you the hardening guidelines, but CIS does. And you can get pre-hardened CIS images.

Joking aside and speaking of careers -- something I learned WAY too late in my career which SHOULD be obvious:

Book AMPLE busy time in your calendar to DO WORK.

If you don't, all your calendar will be is meetings to talk about the work you're SUPPOSED to be doing that you're not doing because you're in meetings talking about it.

Preferably, get a buddy you can set up fake meetings with, since calendar time marked "busy" will often just get ignored by the meeting people.
