European Space Agency hit again as cybercriminals claim 200 GB data up for sale
- egorfine 10mo ago> didn't hear back, with an automated response informing us that the Agency's offices are closed for the New Year holiday This is so on-brand for EU organizations.
- eterm 10mo agoYou say that as if it's a bad thing?

- egorfine 10mo agoIn this context (massive data breach) - it is.
- monkey_monkey 10mo agoWhat does their comms team have to do with the massive data breach?
- egorfine 10mo agoAnswers. These guys can provide answers to the public.
- barrucadu 10mo agoAre these answers so critical they're needed on a holiday?
- egorfine 10mo agoI don't know. There's nobody in the comms team to answer this question.
- monkey_monkey 10mo agoOK, so nothing to do with the massive data breach. But hey, you just really want to make a point about how upset you are that Europeans having decent work/life balance, so there's not point continuing to expose your little agenda.

- JumpCrisscross 10mo agoAviate, navigate, communicate. In that order. ESA’s priority in this case is measuring the damage and then brokering a solution if needed. After that it should communicate to the public.
- lillecarl 10mo agoAh yes, responding to the media during holidays will make the data crawl back to their servers!
- blell 10mo agoIf this were a private business, people would be piling on and calling for the executives to face a firing squad.
- nubg 10mo ago"People" here meaning in particular the types that frequent this very message board.
- pavel_lishin 10mo agoYou can find a certain group of people to pile on for anything.
- PunchyHamster 10mo agoIt's noncritical infrastructure by every definition and data was already stolen, waking up a PR guy to put something on their page is a waste of everyone's time

- dotgov 10mo agoNational Labs are closed over the holidays in the USA too.
- amelius 10mo agoPay them a one-way ticket into space.
- zb3 10mo agoShouldn't this data be public anyway?
- ahsillyme 10mo agoMore or less. Unless it's something to do with the employee's privacy or something to that effect. Doesn't mean the criminals are the good guys here, since they're trying to make bank on it instead of releasing it to the public -- if it's something that the public has an interest in.
- victorbjorklund 10mo agoTerraform files? Seems waste of time to have to make it public.
- wtcactus 10mo agoNo, not really. The science products eventually become public (after 1st access right by contributing nations). But why would the API keys (for instance) ever be public?
- krick 10mo agoWas going to ask what's the data, but > Compromised Data: Source Codes, CI/CD Pipelines, API Tokens, Access Tokens, Confidential Documents, Configuration Files, Terraform Files, SQL Files, Hardcoded Credentials and more! Yeah, right. No wonder nobody bothered to buy and take a look. More of an insult to ESA, than a "data breach".
- guessmyname 10mo ago> Compromised Data: Source Codes, CI/CD Pipelines, API Tokens, Access Tokens, Confidential Documents, Configuration Files, Terraform Files, SQL Files, Hardcoded Credentials and more! And who is going to buy this (useless) data exactly? (half joking)
- johnnienaked 10mo agoI'm old enough to remember being told not to put any personal information on the internet. Pretty soon, personal information will be mandatory to use the Internet. How ironic.
