    Missouri Gov. Mike Parson today vowed to prosecute the St. Louis Post-Dispatch for reporting a security flaw in an agency website that exposed 100k+ teacher SSNs. They held their story until it was fixed. Now Parson is shooting the messenger:

    The one and only is an absolute wizard and discovered a seriously privacy vulnerability on the state’s education dept website. He told them about it before we published. And still, they referred to him as a “hacker”

    "The faster payment system has facilitated faster fraud." A British record of 754 million pounds ($1B) was stolen in the first six months of this year, up 30% from the same period in 2020. The US is moving toward faster payments, too.

    This Coinbase phishing scam netted > 870 credentials. Shows again how scammers are stealing one-time passwords to access accounts, and how they're sifting Coinbase to identify email addresses with active CB accounts

    Is anyone aware of completed or ongoing research -- perhaps in the academic community -- that looks at inauthentic/bot accounts on social media and their activity leading up to and following the events of Jan. 6, 2021? My DMs are open. Thanks in advance!

    🚨 Apache has disclosed an *actively exploited* Path traversal flaw in the "httpd" server. Over 112,000 exposed Apache servers run version 2.4.49, and should be upgraded now! New fix checks for encoded path traversal characters e.g. /../.%2E/

    "We want to make clear at this time we believe the root cause of this outage was a faulty configuration change. We also have no evidence that user data was compromised as a result of this downtime."

    FB: Configuration changes on backbone routers that coordinate network traffic between our data centers caused issues that interrupted this communication. This had a cascading effect on the way our data centers communicate, bringing our services to a halt.

    I can't like this comment enough. We in the US have a tendency to assume everything in tech happens according to Pacific Time or Eastern.

    Remember, FB is a very global company. It's always the middle of the day somewhere.

    Yep, we saw approximately ~40% increase globally, through most of the outage. Separately, I think this may have been the first tera-lapse. Rough calculation is 1.54 trillion person-minutes. Can you think of a larger previous outage?

    Interesting side effect of the Facebook outage: Lots of organizations saw huge spikes in DNS traffic w/ billions of systems constantly requesting new coordinates for FB/IG/WA. Some reports of mobile networks having problems around the time of the outage.

    User on Reddit claims to be in the recovery team and shares details on the incident. Looks like it's configuration issue.

    From trusted source: Person on FB recovery effort said the outage was from a routine BGP update gone wrong. But the update blocked remote users from reverting changes, and people with physical access didn't have network/logical access. So blocked at both ends from reversing it.

    as far as structural outages go, this FB thing is relatively minor. a few hundreds of millions of dollars lost at most. if a similar outage hit AWS, cloudflare, akamai, etc, no one's credit card would work. i expect the losses would be in the billions if not trillions.

Sembla que triga molt a carregar-se.

És possible que el Twitter hagi assolit el límit de capacitat o que experimenti una sobrecàrrega momentània. Torna-ho a provar o vés a l'estat del Twitter si en vols obtenir més informació.
