I've been asked to create some kind of repository/system to document exceptions to our data protection agreement policy, and I'm wondering if anyone here has a more novel idea than a folder in Google Drive. Example: we want to deploy Slack, but my university has not yet been able to get Slack to sign a DPA, so using Slack goes against our security policy. The DPA exception is essentially a CYA for my department so that in case we get audited or bad poo poo happens, we can point to the sheet and say that so-and-so overrode our concerns and approved it anyway.

How many documents will you realistically be creating / storing?

Honestly no idea at this point. Dozens? My boss just came to me last Friday and said create this thing, so I've been reaching out to our Information Assurance and Software Procurement groups to see what their take is on it. We actually have an internal Sharepoint site for security but I'm new in this job (~6 weeks) and have not even used it myself, in a meeting a few weeks ago where the team was trying to reorg the Google Drive, I got laughed at for even suggesting it as a place to store poo poo... I guess maybe it doesn't matter as long as we're CYA'd?

Yeah sounds like I was probably completely other thinking this. Guess I'll chat with my boss a bit more, Sharepoint might end up being the best option in this case.

This discussion reminds me that China/Russia/somebody has my fingerprints thanks to the OPM hack, and makes me wonder what kind of changes, if any, the three-letter agencies had to make following it. There had to have been a non-zero number of fingerprint-based biometric security systems deployed out there.

Could it be that those spammers are impersonating my (and others) phone number to spam call people? Like, real, used, phone numbers? I thought they just use some unused numbers. It was bad enough they were from the area, with my area code, but I was expecting them to be at least new phone numbers.
Is that possible?

It's called neighbor spoofing, and yes. I have even received voicemails of people threatening all kinds of things if I don't stop calling them. I almost never answer the phone anymore if it is a number not already in my contacts.

Up until like 2006 all computers on the networks at the uni I worked at had public IPs.

We have multiple /16's and everything that isn't a printer is on it. There appears to be 0 desire at central IT services to change this.

Mitigation plans for computers still on Win 7 recently were "put it on the private IP space" but besides an IPAM system there is literally no visibility into what has been stuck there. My particular unit is trying to change that for our networks but the rest of the university is just doing uh....nothing? :tif:

We must be on completely different lists then because in the last week I've been alerted to vulns in three different apps that are in our environment. Wouldn't have known about the Zabbix vulns they shared 20 hours ago without it.

Anyone else seen an increase in phishing of like... 400%+ since the Russian invasion? Our e-mail scanners are having a complete field day. I work for a European company.

I can say that for myself personally, the amount of phishing/impersonation scam emails, phone calls, AND texts has gone up about 10x this week from what I usually get. Usually get 1 or 2 spam phone calls a month, yesterday I got 4. Also most of the phishing emails have been Norton Antivirus related, lol.

My favorite on internal doors is just popping open a ceiling tile and climbing over the drywall.

Had to do this once at a remote site because staff didn't leave a key for the network closet. Stood on my boss' shoulders (there was no ladder), stuck my head and torso up through the drop ceiling, and opened the door using a patch cable tied into a tiny lasso so that it could reach and lift the door handle. It worked but was extremely stupid.

I gave up on the freezes just because I tend to churn credit cards for points, but yeah I've got fraud alerts set up everywhere as well as multiple services that alert me to credit changes (including one paid for by the government after being involved in the OPM breach :rolleyes:). The fraud alerts require identify verification so places have to reach out to me first before credit is granted which means I have to make some calls or deal with banks a bit to get them shut down. It's kind of a hassle but I just had somebody last week try to open a new United Visa card through Chase in my name. It's happened to me so often that it's basically become routine.

The credit freezes should prevent you from having to go through that bullshit, though.

Yikes - I thought about doing credit point churning but it just sounded like so much more work, and from the last time I looked into it, looked like most CCs had nerfed their reward programs

Tbqh I have not been churning lately but there are plenty of current offers that can net you $500+ with minimal effort: https://www.doctorofcredit.com/best-current-credit-card-sign-bonuses/ The nice thing about the CC bonuses is they are not taxed as income like a bank account bonus is. Is it worth the bullshit? Eh, I guess I can put up with a lot for a little bit of free cash. YMMV

What purpose does rotation of master passwords serve? Someone brute-forced expensively it against your database and is just sitting on it to unlock a future version with a few more saved passwords in it? I have decades-old master passwords and good loving luck to me if I change them.

I'm fully aware and will admit it's mostly an irrational decision. To be honest the password is a bit too personal no it isn't the name of my pet and I've known I should probably have changed it for a while now so I am finally using this as my excuse. It's really not a big deal and I was mostly being hyperbolic ok!!

Anybody here have to use Tenable(.io)? They finally got rid of the Vulnerabilities and Assets 'workbenches' and jesus gently caress WHY. You can no longer do things like, at a glance see the total number of unique vulns in your environment. You get ">1000". Want more detail than that? gently caress you. Wanna see how many devices are currently vulnerable to one specific exploit? They'll tell you, if it's under 500 devices. If it's over 500, you only get to see ">500". Wanna export some data? You can select 5 items, or you can select all items. Nothing in between. Can't generate a report from the data because there are too many lines(???). Want to just export all the raw data with no filters applied so you can deal with it in Excel instead like a sane person? Lol, you can't, the export just silently fails.

We just had a vendor demo this week for a replacement tool and it looked great and I am excited. I'm sure they are going to come back with pricing that we cannot afford and it is going to break my heart.

Have a look at intruder.io. Leverages the same tool and gives you a better understanding of your software\hardware posture. Basically, a nicer UI and easier to understand ways to correct actions.

This seems interesting but their pricing is outrageous. Their pricing slider maxes out at 3% of our total number of assets and their cheapest plan would cost us $265,000/yr at that rate lol. I'm sure we could negotiate some kind of volume discount but just deep sixing Tenable for something else would probably end up costing us a fraction of that. But I do appreciate the suggestion.

I use it daily across multiple tenancies. Some still have access to the old workbenches. It does suck you can't see totals over 1000 at a glance anymore but you can still get the total if you export the data. Not sure what sort of data you're talking about with the 'select 5 or all items' thing, where are you running into that?

I'll have to confirm Monday but it should be Findings, grouping by Plugin? You can select 5 plugins to export, but if you select a 6th the Export button just disappears. It will reappear if you select everything. My coworker reached out to Tenable support on this, thinking something was wrong, and was told that was working as intended.
