154 million voter records exposed, including gun ownership, Facebook profiles & more: #Ethics #Profit #CyberCrime

154 million voter records exposed, including gun ownership, Facebook profiles & more: #Ethics #Profit #CyberCrime | ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet | Scoop.it
From nakedsecurity.sophos.com - June 23, 2016 4:21 PM
A database with 154 million US voter registration records has been leaking information on a dizzying array of intimate details, including gun ownership, Facebook profiles, address, age, position on gay marriage, ethnicity, email addresses and whether a voter is “pro-life.”

MacKeeper security researcher Chris Vickery found the instance of a CouchDB database wide open, configured as it was for public access with no username, password, or other authentication required.

As Vickery said in a post, he tracked down and notified the company that was the source of the database. It was shut down within 3 hours.

On Tuesday, Vickery reached out to the company – a data brokerage firm named L2 – to report his theory: that one of its clients had purchased data from L2 and was hosting it in an insecure manner.

L2 said that yes, that was the case. He and L2 CEO Bruce Willsie tracked down the client, and the database was taken offline within 3 hours.

Zoosk asks users to reset passwords following mass leak

Zoosk asks users to reset passwords following mass leak | ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet | Scoop.it
From www.net-security.org - March 12, 2013 11:04 AM

 

Online dating service Zoosk is urging some of its users to change their passwords following the leaking of a list of some 29 million passwords that seemingly contains theirs.


According to password expert Jeremi Gosney, who cracked over 90 percent of the leaked MD5 hashes (which were, unfortunately, not salted), nearly 3,000 contained the word "zoosk" in a variety of predictable combinations such as "logmein2zoosk" and "ilovezoosk".

In support of Greenpeace's efforts to stop companies drilling for oil in the Arctic, Anonymous has leaked around 1,000 email addresses belonging to five of the biggest multinational oil companies and its corresponding passwords (both in clear text and hashed).

 

This leak is a continuation of a previous one from June, when the group dumped email login credentials of Exxon employees. This time Shell, BP Global, Gazprom and Rosneft were hit.
