A Data Leak that went absolutely correct

There's a difference between a data leak and a breach. A leak may in most parts be an accident, where a breach was intentional. My blog post Data Leak at Virus Total was only a subset, data removed has a link to the story. Let's just say that Google did everything as right as they could. Once notified, they removed said data an d launched an investigation on how the info got on the popular AntiVirus scanning application. You can't have it any other way. If a mistake happens, fix it as quickly as possible!

Our Morons

Our first moron today comes from a company called HikVision. This blog post titled: Use Hikvision cameras? You might want to be made aware of this goes in to the fact that this company just doesn't understand what might be going on with their network and their devices. Having QR codes to basicly log in to the camera yields very interesting results. Better read the accompanying article for more. You might want to be sitting down for this one.
