Ask HN: Looking for tech city without hayfever risk in May/June

Hacker News - Thu, 04/11/2024 - 3:35pm

Hi,

I'm allergic to grass pollen, and it has its season in May and June in Europe. So this year I want to try to escape Europe and to not get exposed to pollen. For this reason, I've been looking for places that:

- Have a nice tech scene

- No pollen in the air in May and June

- Affordable

- Safe

- the closer to Europe, the better

The best I could find for now was:

- Iceland (bit cold lol)

- Capetown (do they have a big enough tech scene)?

- Canary Islands (I don't want to be a beach tourist)

What other options are there? Also: Have you already done this, and what was your experience? Does this plan generally work?

How to check if your data was exposed in the AT&T breach

Malware Bytes Security - Thu, 04/11/2024 - 3:33pm

AT&T has notified US state authorities and regulators about its recent (or not) data breach, saying 51,226,382 people were affected.

For those that have missed the story so far:

  • Back in 2021, a hacker named Shiny Hunters claimed to have breached AT&T.
  • On March 20, 2024, we reported how the data of over 70 million people was posted for sale on an online cybercrime forum. The seller claimed the data came from the Shiny Hunters breach. However, AT&T denied (both in 2021 and in March, 2024) that the data came from its systems.
  • On March 30, AT&T reset customer passcodes after a security researcher discovered the encrypted login passcodes found in the leaked data were easy to decipher.
  • Finally, on April 2, 2024, AT&T confirmed that 73 million current and former customers were caught up the data leak.

Weirdly enough, in the data breach notification, AT&T says the date of discovery of the breach was March 26, 2024. AT&T has still not disclosed the source of the leak, but says the data appears to be from June 2019 or earlier.

Malwarebytes VP of Consumer Privacy, Oren Arar, describes the AT&T breach as “especially risky” because of the type of data that’s been exposed.

“SSN, name, date of birth—this is personal identifiable information (PII) that cannot be changed, and if scammers get their hands on it, it just makes their work in stealing people’s identities a lot easier. In addition, this exposed data was published on the internet – in a way that anyone could access it, and not on the dark web where you need some expertise to find it”.

Check if your data was exposed

Malwarebytes has a super easy tool—Malwarebytes Digital Footprint Portal—that allows you to check if your data was part of the AT&T breach. Just click the button below, enter your email address, and we’ll let you know what personal information we find.

Met police failed to act on Commons ‘honeytrap’ sexting reports last year

Guardian Security - Thu, 04/11/2024 - 2:51pm

The force has said there was nothing to suggest at the time that the messages were part of a wider pattern

The Metropolitan police first had reports of unsolicited messages targeting a number of MPs, staff and journalists in Westminster last year, but officers failed to notify politicians.

After the former Conservative MP William Wragg said he was manipulated into giving the personal phone numbers of colleagues to a man he met on a dating app, Scotland Yard said it was working with other police forces, alongside its own investigation, amid concerns many other MPs could have been targeted.
