Here's another notification where it sounds like the victim paid the extortion demand but doesn't come right out and say that. Instead, their notification letter says that the data had temporarily been posted online but "The data is no longer posted on the dark web and, at this time, Kronick has no reason to believe this data was retained by the unknown third party or that any additional data was taken."

They don't name the attackers, but this was an incident involving #Rhysida that Rhysida had claimed on August 22, 2024.

Given how often we are told that these ransomware groups do retain data even after pinky-swearing and providing videos of it supposedly being destroyed forever, should entities like the law firm above say they have no reason to believe that their data was retained?

If the latest alleged data breach at X is accurate, can we please, pretty please, *follow and enforce* the obligation of transparency, accountability, and prompt disclosure in Europe under the GDPR?
I mean, failing to comply with the breach notification requirements could result in fines of *just* around 2% of X's annual turnover 🤔

Twitter, #X, hit by massive data breach potentially impacting 2.8 billion users, inside job suspected - “A data leak involving a whopping 2.87 billion Twitter (X) users has surfaced on the infamous Breach Forums. According to a post by a user named ThinkingOne, the leak is the result of a disgruntled X employee who allegedly stole the data during a period of mass layoffs. If true, this would be the largest social media data leak in history, but surprisingly, neither X nor the broader public appears to be aware of it.” #DataBreach #DataPrivacy #opsec #infosec #Twitter #privacy

Odd how so many outlets are reporting "FBI is investigating" the Oracle Health #databreach. Is this to redirect our attention to the FBI and away from Oracle Health's security and PR mess?

"FBI is investigating..." ranks right up there in my list with "80 gadzillion law firms have opened investigations into.... "

Maybe I just need more coffee... ?
