Does your child check the weather?

Well think again, because pedophiles also check the weather. If your child checks the weather they may be a victim of sexual exploitation.

Yesterday @troyhunt shared this photo online. You have to do age verification to check the weather.

Holy moly. Esteemed cyber leader Troy Hunt just said:

"I don’t think it’s too early to call it: this will be the largest IT outage in history."

Troy Hunt ·1h Look at all those BSoDs 😮 Capricorn @el_capricious 1h Also here in Philippines @troyhunt ·55m If you're watching this unfold and aren't unfamiliar with the name "CrowdStrike", they're a *massive* player in the security space and have billions of dollars of annual revenue. Their products include "EDR", which is endpoint detection and response. Think of it as antivirus. @troyhunt ·55m Products like this need to auto-update as they're continually evolving to respond to emerging threats. New attacks need new defences, so these products need to regularly update on your PC. @troyhunt ·55m They also usually operate in what we'd call a "privileged" space on your machine, that is they have very broad-reaching control in order to detect and mitigate risks. That also means that if something goes wrong with an update, it's able to catastrophically nuke your machine. @troyhunt ·32m I don’t think it’s too early to call it: this will be the largest IT outage in history. 3:21 AM ·

Troy Hunt, of Have I Been Pwned fame, says the Internet Archive is back online and suggests you change your password if you have an account there.

You may struggle getting in at first just because of the volume of people trying to log in.

Troy Hunt notes this is a CrowdStrike issue impacting Microsoft PCs. (As distinguished from a MSFT issue per se.)

Hunt: "This is basically what we were all worried about with Y2K, except it's actually happened this time ☠️.

Troy Hunt @troyhunt Just an important point on this as I’m seeing some misunderstandings: this is not a “Microsoft outage” (disclosure: I don’t work there or speak for them, Regional Directors are totally independent), it’s a CrowdStrike issue impacting Microsoft PCs. 3:28 AM · Jul 19, 2024 · 16.5K Views Related posts Troy Hunt @troyhunt · 11m This is basically what we were all worried about with Y2K, except it's actually happened this time ☠️

Jumping Jehoshaphat! There is a very serious problem with computers and networks world wide. Crowdstrike operates in 176 countries. Banks, media, airports affected.

Many systems BSoD’ing (Blue Screen of Death).
See cyber expert Troy Hunt's Twitter for details.

Troy Hunt has a little more info on how the site was defaced. The nested tweet has a screenshot showing the alert.

Troy Hunt @troyhunt Looks like someone compromised a polyfill JS file on a subdomain to inject the alert, but that doesn't explain the root site being down Quote Cole @sappliingg · 2h Replying to @MasterMike88 @brewster_kahle and @internetarchive https://x.com/agathanonymous/status/1844124442231963988?s=46 One of their subdomains was hijacked, so who knows 6:10 PM · Oct 9, 2024 · 4,116 Views

Bleeping Computer (see 1st post): "threat actor shared the Internet Archive's authentication database nine days ago [with Troy Hunt] and it is a 6.4GB SQL file.

Hunt shares his chronology and says to cut IA slack for time to disclosure because of multiple, ongoing DDOS attacks
x.com/troyhunt/sta...
Troy Hunt @troyhunt Let me share more on the chronology of this: 30 Sep: Someone sends me the breach, but I'm travelling and didn't realise the significance 5 Oct: I get a chance to look at it - whoa! 6 Oct: I get in contact with someone at IA and send the data, advising it's our goal to load within 72 hours 7 Oct: They confirm and I ask for a disclosure notice 8 Oct: I follow up on the disclosure notice and advise we'll load tomorrow 9 Oct: They get defaced and DDoS'd, right as the data is loading into HIBP The timing on the last point seems to be entirely coincidental. It may also be multiple parties involved and when we're talking breach + defacement + DDoS, it's clearly not just one attack. 6:50 PM · Oct 9, 2024 Troy Hunt @troyhunt Obviously I would have liked to see that disclosure much earlier, but understanding how under attack they are I think everyone should cut them some slack. They're a non-profit doing great work and providing a service that so many of us rely heavily on
