That’s the second update in a row I’ve done on time! It’s also another one with a bunch of other things in common with last week, namely commentary on yet more data breaches. It’s not just the breaches in HIBP, but the ones I’m busily trying to disclose. This is really sucking a lot of time right now and frankly, well, I summed it up here earlier in the week:
Currently going through the process with 4 breach disclosures. 3 of them I just can’t get a response from and the one I can really doesn’t want to act promptly. This is bloody hard work, and enormously frustrating.

But it’s the right thing to do and I’m going to keep at it, even if it means loading data without the organisations involved responding (it certainly won’t be the first time). I also go on a bit of a rant about devices and services targeted at monitoring kids and as I say in the video, you’ll see precisely why this is such a big issue for me probably next week or the week after. Stay tuned for that one and for now, here’s this week’s vid:

- Knuddles got themselves a €20k fine for their breach (which is now in HIBP)
- I ranted on about how crazy the security and privacy implications are for whole bunch of products and services targeted at monitoring kids (do read – and please share – that thread, here’s a Facebook version of it too)
- Varonis is sponsoring my blog again this week and they have an excellent free course on insider threats (ok, I may be a little biased on that…)
