The halved number of accounts is due to the removal of duplicates, according to Privacy Affairs CEO and founder Miklos Zoltan. "However, this time, the data is available for anyone to download for free, instead of being listed for sale at $200,000, as it was in December," he wrote.
Some of the well-known people and organizations included in the new 63GB database leak include Donald Trump Jr., Google CEO Sundar Pichai, SpaceX, the US National Basketball Association, CBS Media and the World Health Organization, according to Zoltan's blog post about the breach.

Alternatively, a competitor company could share a document that has hidden metadata and use this to cause a compliance issue for the business. Under GDPR, any critical data must be stored properly, but if an organization is unaware of the critical data lying within the downloaded document, they cannot delete or secure the information. When it comes to auditing or even a right to be forgotten request (RTBF) under the GDPR, the business is liable for a huge fine that damages both revenue and reputation.
The digitalization of the world shows no signs of slowing down. Two years into the pandemic, cybercriminals continue to take full advantage of consumers living their lives online. Previously breached data is being used to tap into a rich vein of additional personal information held in online shopping, social media, and healthcare sites, among others.

When we surveyed IT leaders in 2020, it was clear that insider risk was keeping them up at night. As of mid-2021, 97% of IT leaders (the same as in 2020) are still concerned about insider breaches. And with good cause. There are a number of ways data can be lost by an insider: accidental errors such as misdirected email, deliberately breaking security protocols, malicious exfiltration, or clicking on phishing links.
When DigiNotar, the Dutch certificate authority (CA) company which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of VASCO Data Security International, Inc., announced on the 30th of August that it had been breached "which resulted in the fraudulent issuance of public key certificate requests for a number of domains," the general feeling in the IT security community was one of, "Oh, oh, here we go again."
However, almost immediately after the public announcement of the breach, it became clear that the attack on DigiNotar might be worse than what the company was letting on. A story appearing in ComputerWorld soon after DigiNotar's announcement indicated that the fraudulent Google certificate was issued on July 10, over a week before DigiNotar said it had first detected the breach. In addition, a DigiNotar spokesperson admitted to ComputerWorld that "several dozen" certificates had been faked, not just a small number as it previously implied.
By the 3rd of September, it was becoming clear that the IT security situation caused by the breach was indeed becoming dire for some. For on that day, reported the AP, the Dutch government announced that because of the breach, "it could not guarantee the security of its own Web sites." In addition, the government said it was taking over DigiNotar's operations, a move the company did not fight against.
"The network has been severely breached. All CA servers were members of one Windows domain, which made it possible to access them all using one obtained user/password combination. The password was not very strong and could easily be brute-forced."
On the 6th of September, the AP ran a story that reported Dutch prosecutors were investigating DigiNotar for possible criminal negligence because it was slow to disclose the breach. A New York Times article on the same day reported that the Dutch data protection agency, OPTA, had asked DigiNotar to investigate whether Dutch taxpayer information had been compromised.
The group of well-dressed young men who gathered on the outskirts of Baltimore on the night of 5 January 2021 hardly looked like extremists. But the next day, prosecutors allege, they would all breach the United States Capitol during the deadly insurrection. Several would loot and destroy media equipment, and one would assault a policeman.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Risk Management Center (RMC) developed RMC Empirical Embankment Dam Breach Parameters Toolbox as part of the RMC Breach Parameter Suite of Microsoft Excel spreadsheets to support risk assessments for dam safety. The spreadsheet tools contained in this toolbox assess the initial dam breach parameters using the empirical relationships of Bowles et al. (2014) [revised Xu and Zhang (2009)], Xu and Zhang (2009), Froehlich (2008, 1995), Von Thun and Gillette (1990), U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (1988), and MacDonald and Langridge-Monopolis (1984) as well as the peak breach outflow from various regression equations.
The purpose of this policy is to outline how NCLS and Ainsworth Memorial Library will respond to incidents involving data breaches. It will identify and define steps and procedures that will be followed when those breaches occur and will address how affected individuals will be notified as required by relevant Federal and State laws.
All individuals affiliated with NCLS in any capacity, including but not limited to member library staff, vendors, and contractors, should report suspected or actual data breaches immediately to the IT Manager. NCLS will investigate all reports of breaches related to information maintained by NCLS.

Hello,In my privacy and permissions settings, downloading is set to "Only you," meaning that only I should be able to download an image from my flickr account. Yet a poster on a separate photography site was able to download one of my flickr images without my permission. What he posted: c1.staticflickr.com... plus what must be the identity of the picture. When I click his complete link, it does indeed download my original size image into my browser. How is that possible?Thanks.Posted at 7:29AM, 3 December 2018 PST(permalink)
Omer Claiborne:Flickr's download deterrents are just that, a roadblock. All of your public photos can be downloaded by those savvy enough to get around the roadblock.If an image can be seen in a web browser, then it can be downloaded. This is just how the web works and isn't unique to Flickr, it's true for every website.If this isn't what you want, then you need to make all your stuff private.Posted 51 months ago.( permalink)
kmacgray:I understand that, but the downloader's link suggests he went through flickr. In his exact words..."under download if i check the size i can see the pics address - you want the one with static ... (the below allows embedding)"I have not shared my password with anyone, so in the download page, how could he see, as a guest, the static download link to the photograph?Posted 51 months ago.( permalink)
Omer Claiborne:Though you do indeed block people from downloading your images, if I right-click on one of your images and choose "Inspect element", I can find in that text page the link to c1.staticflickr.com/5/4854/[photo id]_z.jpg, which can then be saved anywhere.Any size up to the maximum size you allow (1024 pixels) can be downloaded this way. This is a function built right into your browser.Posted 51 months ago.( permalink)
Omer Claiborne:how could he see, as a guest, the static download link to the photograph?That is shockingly easy, I could post the static link to the largest size of the flag photo right here, right now.Actually there are two methods. But I am hesitant to post them here, for obvious reasons.EDIT Oops, I saw that meanwhile someone else gave it away....Posted 51 months ago.( permalink)
MabelAmber️***Pluto5339***Incognito:I hope I did not breach any protocol by clarifying this for OP. It is not as if it were some arcane secret knowledge. It is the way browsers were designed, and if they removed "Inspect element", there would still be other ways, as any photo you see on your screen has already been downloaded to your equipment, or you would not see it. Some websites actually avoid this by somehow breaking up photos and reconstituting the data to your screen, but even then there is the Print Screen function...;-)Posted 51 months ago.( permalink)
Viejito:I hope I did not breach any protocol by clarifying this for OP. It is not as if it were some arcane secret knowledgeWell no, but in such cases the less that know the better. (I myself revealed the other method I referred to on here (that was many years ago), before I came in the know about the "Inspect element" thingie, but since then I decided to no longer broadcast the ways and means to get to our stuff, [edit] at least I think I lived up to my intention. Which can still be done in a Flickr mail.)Posted 51 months ago.( permalink) MabelAmber***Pluto5339***MysteryGuest edited this topic 51 months ago.
Viejito:This is so shockingly easy to do; I've often wondered how people have downloaded my images and reused them on their own websites passing them off as their own, even though I've disabled downloading of my images - now I know how they do it. Personally, I wouldn't broadcast on how this is done; as MabelAmber says, the less that know the better.Posted 51 months ago.( permalink) 2ff7e9595c
