Cybersecurity Shorts: Facebook Outage and Scraped Data, Ransomware Hackers Arrested by Europol, the Deets on the Twitch Hack and More
In this episode of the Futurum Tech Webcast, Cybersecurity Shorts series, analysts Shelly Kramer and Fred McClimans cover the goings on in the world of cybersecurity. This week’s conversation includes the Facebook outage and (unrelated) claims of scraped data from 1.5 billion Facebook users available in a hacker forum, as well as a deep dive into the deets on the Twitch hack. They also covered the Syniverse hack that provided access to millions of text messages and customer information for a period of many years (and the impact on Syniverse’s teleco customers), the Atos win of an R&D project with ESA, along with a new bill proposed by Senator Elizabeth Warren given victims of ransomware attacks 48 hours to report payments to their hackers.
