University of Nottingham Data Breach, Whitehall Spy Camera & Fake Discord Breach Exposed

Season 1 Episode 92 Published 2 weeks ago
Description

ShinyHunters breached the University of Nottingham using a critical Oracle PeopleSoft zero-day, leaking passport numbers, National Insurance numbers, disability data and financial records for 455,000 students. If you studied at Nottingham, check haveibeenpwned.com now.

A hidden camera was found in a ceiling tile at 2 Marsham Street, London, the Home Office building that approved China's controversial new mega-embassy. Nobody knows who put it there or how long it was recording.

Someone filed fake data breach notices on Maine's official breach portal, which publishes filings instantly with no verification. The Register reported one as fact before readers flagged it.

Also this week: ServiceNow admits a security incident months after allegedly being warned. 10,000 malicious domains registered ahead of the FIFA World Cup. A disgruntled researcher bypasses BitLocker because Microsoft made him homeless. Google Chrome permanently kills uBlock Origin. The Met Police gives Apple and Samsung an ultimatum over stolen phones.

Phish of the Week: Temu callback phishing using a real password reset email.
