48. I'm not going there yet

Sep 2014

Trust me - I would always prefer a federal law enforcement agency have the content for a GOOD reason - google Mustafa Family Minnesota. That was good old fashioned investigation triggered by patterns of theft. But NSA - would leak a foreign politicians naked pics first.

Private industry is tougher. Shit - found out someone went into Accurint for personal reasons and they were gone. Usually when it is high profile - its malicious (young male Cheeto eating basement dweller) or someone who has had a lot of personal assistans with a bridge to burn. Thinking of the heavy metal guitarist we had an issue with account takeover Q 4 last year.

Account takeover by a Cheeto eater (more likely because of the large number of women impacted) via a cloud service makes sense to me.

Our security - not IT - IT is worthless at identifying the weak spot - they only fix - will be working the issue today. My greatest fear is that there is a weak spot in our cloud. I'll update if I hear anything from Secret Service - those women I deal with are The Best at this shit.
