News
Hi everyone,
I hope you had a lovely weekend! Mine was a bit rough, all four of us got sick and it's not all over yet. So I'm going to take it easy today and make this a minimal issue, where I include the articles that seem interesting but without the summaries.
I am however truly excited to welcome a new sponsor, Uptycs. They're a security product used for intrusion detection, forensics, and more, based on SQL. I use them every day at work and I absolutely love them. Thanks Uptycs!
Breaches and leaks
- Ubiquiti breach might have been far worse than they said: link.
- Cyber attack forces live TV shows off-air on Australia’s Channel 9: link.
- Indian payments firm MobiKwik says it is probing date breach claims: link.
- Dutch privacy watchdog fines Booking.com €475K for not disclosing breach in time: link.
At the time that I'm sending this the news site bleepingcomputer.com, which I link to quite a lot, seems to be having issues. Just a head's up in case some articles don't load, including these breach items:
Uptycs - intrusion detection using SQL
Uptycs have been a bit of a revelation to me. Instead of ingesting logfiles and asking you to write IDS rules in a custom query language, they leverage osquery to expose your entire infrastructure as SQL. Everything you want to know or alert on is just as straight forward as querying a database. It's fantastic. (Sponsored)

1Password: Awesome password manager with, for me, the best UX
First of all: please use a password manager. Since you're a subscriber here I'm pretty sure you already do, but just in case. Second: if you're not using 1Password yet, give them a try. I've been using them for many years professionally and migrated my personal Vault over two years ago. The experience was super smooth, and I haven't looked back ever since.
