The band Radiohead<\/a>\nrecently fell victim to a hack in which 18 hours of previously unreleased\nsessions were ransomed for $150,000. Rather than pay the ludicrous fee, the\nband instead opted to release the tracks through Bandcamp for a donation to\ncharity. The unreleased sessions were stored as archived mini discs the band\ncreated during the years surrounding their third album, \u201cOK Computer.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n A subcontractor<\/a>\nfor the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agency is under scrutiny after\nit was revealed that they had illicitly transferred thousands of images of both\nlicense plates and travelers that had crossed the US\/Mexico border in the last\nmonth. In doing so, the subcontractor broke several mandatory security policies\nwritten into a legal contract. While there is no sign of the images leaking\nonto the dark web, there is very little redress for the exposed travelers without\nproving actual harm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The latest industry report on spam emails<\/a> revealed\nthat around 3.4 billion fake\/spam emails are distributed across the globe each\nday. More worrisome is that the majority of these emails originate in the US\nand regularly target US-based industries. While many industries have improved security\nmeasures, larger enterprises have struggled to implement strong protection for\ntheir entire staff. <\/p>\n\n\n\nUS Border Protection Breached by Contractor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
