Many security breaches are distractions, was someone trying to track the movement patterns of an agent in the San Francisco bay area? H. Richard Loeb has always been hunted, along with Edgar Allan Wright. Time to exercise caution and perhaps use a different path as it were.

Not my picture. They just left the gates open at several stations. A good wake up call for better security.

Most likely what happened is a domain administrator with too much access for their own good opened an infected document and everything they had access to got encrypted. Crypto ransomware is a really depressing problem.

ReplyDeleteBe aware in all parts of life.
This is presumly a mixture of wrong permissions, missing security updates, 'we need to save money so fire all qualified personal' and the wrong OS.
ReplyDeletediane wilson not your pic? Who gave it to you?
ReplyDeleteMartin Winz I believe it was posted on a reddit. I live in the bay and have several groups that post pics from their commutes. This pic was posted in there by someone who said they saw it on reddit.
ReplyDeleteIt was Dedsec.
ReplyDeleteNot verified news!! if someone wants to, feel free. "According to the pseudonymous hacker, the agency's computers are being held ransom for more than $73,000 dollars with only one day left to pay—and nearly 25 percent of Muni's network has been compromised.
ReplyDeleteThe severity of the attack still remains unknown to the public. However, documents released by one of the hackers suggest many vital agency functions have been compromised, including payroll, email servers, Quickbooks, NextBus operations, various MySQL database servers, staff training and personal computers for hundreds of employees." And "The Examiner also contacted the hacker, and said that they were requesting 100 Bitcoin (approx. $73,000, at the most recent exchange rate) to unlock the machines." Again, these are not verified, so please take with a note of healthy scepticism.
So i ve heard german "telekom" was under hard hacking-attacks too.
ReplyDeleteSo, they apparently had pretty good backups and so the system is back up and running again without paying the 100bc. Bonus points for that definitely.
