Folks scanned for non-password protected mongoDB databases exposed to the open internet and if there was any useful data in them, encrypted them with ransomware. Nice.

do any of you know much about Carbon Black? it's apparently an application whitelisting program for windows that they're rolling out here at work. i'm just curious how many ways it inadvertently links other user activity to the admins or vendor, as it sounds like the vendor has to actually help our local admins add things to the whitelist from the internal memo.

i can tell you all about carbon.

Okay, I think it's about time I'll attempt to convince my work's security board that using LastPass as a company password manager is a bad idea.

Does anyone know if there's an overview of recent LastPass vulnerabilities somewhere?

With the way bitcoins work, the amount of bitcoins mined per period of time cannot change, I think.

So if you were to kill a majority of bitcoin miners, those who are left over would suddenly get way more bitcoins way faster.

You know those mobile electronic warning signs they use to tell drivers about road detours?

Well, I think there was talk about this before - those things have an interface on the device that's password protected - but nobody ever bothers to set up a password because who would ever want to hack those, right?
