It?s that time of year again. Spring is upon us, flowers are budding, and The RISK Team and Verizon have released the?2012 Data Breach Investigations Report. Be sure to add it to your reading list. Speaking of data breaches, the University of Tampa reported that it?mistakenly exposed information on 30,000 individuals for 8 months due to a server error and the UK-based Student Loans Company?copped to leaking 8,000 customer email addresses. As for things that got attacked this week, a?Saudi hacking group claimed to steal data on 400,000 Israelis from the Israeli sports website One,?S3rver.exe defaced the website of the International Police Associate of Australia, and BlackJester has electronically?taken a Qwest data center server hostage so that the company will contact him about its vulnerabilities. Not too long ago BlackJester walked into a UN office to report vulnerabilities in the organization?s website. Reporting vulnerabilities is one thing, taking a server hostage is a different beast altogether. A?recently compiled Duqu driver was observed in the wild by Symantec and?Kaspersky got answers to a question it had crowd sourced about the malware?s code. And finally, in a case of pot calling kettle black, China said it has observed an?uptick in cyber-attacks recently and?blames the United States, Japan, and South Korea.
