Re: Linked-In leakage?
The LinkedIn breach was very productive for the criminal hacker community, but it was just one of many credential pools posted on Pastebin and other public platforms. We can also thank serial privacy violators/privateers like Equifax for their "contributions" to the resources now available to these new startups. Commercial software vendors, as usual, are all form and little function when it comes to countermeasures, because they feel safe in their assumption customers have no where else to go. Of course the greatest praise should be reserved for the leading national intelligence services whose seed money in the form of outsource contracts and leaked toolkits, not to mention inaction in the midst of attacks on the citizenry they're supposed to protect, has made life so much easier for these operators.
