🔓 Oracle finally admits to a major data breach—after being sued for hiding it.

Just days after being hit with a class-action lawsuit for allegedly covering up a major data breach, Oracle has begun privately notifying some customers of a security incident that compromised login credentials—including data from as recently as 2024.

Key highlights:
🔓 Hacker accessed usernames, passkeys, and encrypted passwords
💰 Extortion attempt reported
⏱️ Lawsuit claims Oracle failed to notify victims within 60 days
⚖️ Plaintiffs demand better security & transparency

Despite Oracle calling it an outdated system, the lawsuit points to risks that are very current. This is a critical moment for cloud providers to re-evaluate incident response protocols.

Before I was fired tonight, I was in charge of information security for VA.gov, which has millions of users per month and stores and processes huge amounts of veterans' personal information. I've been told by people I've worked with that I'm the best at what I do of anyone they've ever worked with. Now there will be _no one_ in charge of information security for VA.gov.
Does this seem like improving government efficiency?

Heyo! Time for a re-introduction here. I'm WinterKnight and I followed the Great InfoSec Migration here from Twitter a few years ago.

Outside of #infosec and #hacking, I entertain myself with #TTRPGs such as D&D and Paranoia, #boardgames such as Terraforming Mars, Scythe, and Gloomhaven. I also paint miniatures and other components which are used in games.

Outside of nerdery, I smoke meats and #BBQ so there may be some pictures of delicious things I cook from time to time. I tend to post about a myriad of things.

Opinions are my own, and not of any other entity.

did you know that exposur.es (@mgmt) uses @protonprivacy for the email service?

typically, when you sign up for a platform or reach out for support, companies often use numerous ‘partners’, ‘affiliates’, and ‘service providers’ and they fold them into their so-called privacy policy so all companies involved get a slice of your data without you ever realizing it.

with exposur.es, i wanted to stay true to @pixelfed’s instance honor code to which we all must agree that says we commit to not tracking members.

so if you got a confirmation email after signing up or reached out via email for support, your data wasn’t being harvested by the platform, by me, or by the email “service provider”! better still, if you also use Proton, our emails are fully secured by their zero-knowledge encryption (it’s like end-to-end encryption but only we have the keys, unlike Whatsapp or Gmail)!

Hey Mastodonians!

I am a Critical Infrastructure & Industrial Security Advisor and CEO at Ampyx Cyber (infosec.exchange/@ampyxcyber). I spend most of my time on planes and in airports, but I’m proud to be #PDX-based. Also US Coordinator and professor for the Centro de Ciberseguridad Industrial (CCI) in Madrid as well as a former SANS ICS456 instructor. Ex utility staff (electric, telecom, water), recovering regulator, and one of the original architects of NERC CIP. Often found on stage ranting heretically at #ICS and #OT conferences. Honored to be BEER-ISAC coin 001 (@beerisac).

I mostly post about work in #infosec, #travel, #conferences, #regulations, and typical ICS/OT security topics. I also spend a lot of time carefully curating news stories from a wide range of tech, science and infosec sources which I then automatically post on my personal social media account(s) - no, this isn’t a bot. If this is too much news for your feed, please feel free to mute me.

Hobbies are #travel, #food, #kayaking, #slavaukraini
