In the past week, organizations in over 150 different countries have been dealing with the WannaCry ransomware<\/a> that spread like wildfire across at least 150,000 individual endpoint devices. By propagating like a worm, the infection was able to spread quickly, exploiting a largely unpatched vulnerability in several Windows operating systems. While a patch for un-updated systems has been publicly available since March, many organizations have struggled to roll it out to their endpoints, or can\u2019t do so without rendering their proprietary software unusable.<\/p>\n Researchers have discovered a Dark Web vendor with a listing for 17 million Zamato user accounts<\/a>, along with samples of the data to prove its legitimacy. In response to the hack, Zamato has issued a forced password reset for all affected users, and strongly recommends a password change for the remaining users as added precaution. Fortunately, no credit card information was compromised, as it is stored in an alternate location.<\/p>\n As the official release of the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie looms ever closer, hackers have threatened<\/a> to leak five minutes of a stolen, unreleased film, followed by 20-minute chunks if Disney doesn\u2019t pay their Bitcoin ransom demand. (It\u2019s unclear if the stolen movie is truly the new PotC, but that\u2019s the rumor.) Piracy is hardly new in the film industry, and a case much like this one happened last month with Netflix and episodes from the upcoming season of Orange Is the New Black. From the sound of it, most production companies agree that a few leaks to dodgy download sites so close to release aren\u2019t significant enough to consider paying up.<\/p>\nRestaurant Listing Service Zamato Hacked<\/h5>\n
