@ai6yr @briankrebs OFC this targets #TechIlliterates and the only effective means here are:

  1. Teach #TechLiteracy instead of consumerism.
  2. Mandate #confirmation & #notification - #PopUp|s for every use of #Clipboard (similar to #webcam use by websites)...
  3. Ban #JavaScript - seriously!
  4. Ban #Windows, because it's a #Govware, espechally since #Windows10 and even more so on #Windows11 that is *insecure in every configuration!
  5. Put #TechIlliterates before a system they can't feck up. I.e. @tails_live @tails / #Tails for that reason alone (can't run such commands if they neither got #root nor any #persistent #storage to target).
  6. Normalize the use of @torproject #TorBrowser!
  7. #Teach #tech #literacy instead of #consumerism!
  8. Ban #GAFAMs and their shitty products!
  9. Migrate every #TechIlliterate to #Linux and don't give them administrative privilegues.
  10. Teach tech literacy instead of consumerism!

Health-care billing company Medical Billing Specialists Inc. (MBS Select) has been hit with a potential class action lawsuit over their 2024 breach.

Notifications first went out a year after the attack by Akira ransomware group.

h/t, Bloomberg Law.

DISA Global Solutions reports more than 3.3 million people were affected by the 2024 data breach they experienced, but questions remain.

In an interim update that had been quoted by a law firm,, DISA had made an intriguing statement about steps they had taken to dissuade the unnamed threat actor from leaking the data and providing confirmation of deletion.

That's all missing from their final notification.

Why?

@campuscodi

Et voilà, viens encore de me faire piéger par la Magic Mouse d'apple sans batterie à plat. Aucune notification de l'OS alors qu'il arrive à m'envoyer d'autres choses même avec "ne pas déranger" actif. Sont vraiment saoulants !

Heureusement que j'avais pris un touchpad et qu'il a toujours un fond de batterie depuis son tiroir...

@froge I agree. If this is just the beginning of a new campaign that addresses timely notification too. They have announced the campaign on risk assessment already and have already announced a few settlements over that. But there's been no formal announcement or press release about any campaign specifically targeting timely notification.

I haven't finished up our 2024 gap analyses between discovery of breaches and notifications, but too many do not or cannot comply with the regulation. And then there all the entities that don't even report their breaches at all, and I wonder how we will get HHS OCR to address that unless I send them a massive watchdog complaint that lists about 150 regulated entities that didn't disclose breaches this past year when it appears that they did have reportable breaches.

Anyone else think that the HHS OCR monetary penalty imposed on Solara Medical was too steep? $3M is one of the steepest monetary penalties HHS OCR has imposed.

I'm glad to see enforcement of the timely notification requirement, but so many entities have blown the risk assessment requirement and the 60 day notification regulations so why is Solara being hit with such a stiff penalty?

Indie Archive File Integrity And Notification

home.gamerplus.org/permalink.p

If all you're doing is backing up with no file integrity checks then you can never be sure if a file that's important to you has been corrupted, accidentally edited, or maybe even just removed. That's why file integrity checks are important to any archival system. We want to detect divergence in our file sets before we copy the corrupt file all over all of the good copies.

I set up email notifications with smtp2go and I can send an email from a shell script with curl.

So when the Indie Archive sees more than 5 lines in the file integrity log it can notify me about the reported discrepancy with the log file in the body of the email.

I just have to learn how to do that now. Include a text file in a curl command. I saw it done in a gmail example.
