FAA Hacked—Kaspersky Hacked—Kaiser Hacked—Anything not Hacked?
The FAA recently announced that some of their data bases have been breached, hacked, compromised, whatever you want to call it. Let’s just say that security was brushed aside and all the data released to the general public or rather a den of thieves. Oh but don’t worry, they didn’t get into flight control…or did they? (Would they tell us?) Which leads to the next story…
Kaspersky, yes the same Kaspersky as your AV (Antivirus) was also breached. If you have an account with them I would immediately change all your passwords because your password there was exposed to the entire internet and the same den of thieves as the first story. Will they go after little ole you? Maybe. Depends who it is and how easy you are to get access to. By the way this story was particularly scary considering that Kaspersky is a security company!
Kaiser Permanente a large company out of California was also hacked. This affects about 30,000 people or so. You can read that story here.
Anything not hacked?
Probably not. If you have read some of the stuff I have been posting in the past few months you will see a definite pattern; nothing is safe. No one is safe. In fact there isn’t even a danger any more. Every single thing about you was probably hacked and made public knowledge many years ago so there probably is nothing to worry about anymore because there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. Your Social Security number is in the hands of many people. I don’t mean to scare you; rather I am trying to inform you. The only thing you can do is regularly change your passwords and closely watch your bank accounts. If you see anything strange report it immediately. This isn’t one of those it could happen to me but probably won’t, this will happen to you in your lifetime. It is a mathematical certainty at the rate at which these hacks have been done and are currently being perpetrated.
