Optus Data Breach... Some thoughts on a classic Media Beat Up

Optus Data Breach... Some thoughts on a classic Media Beat Up

[Updated]

Little more info has come out over the weekend and I've added some commentary to the start of the Podcast covering that. In a nutshell, if this was an open API then that changes the narrative around human error being the weakest link in this specific Optus event. However it doesn't change that being a common form of entry for a malicious actor. I still think the media is attempting to crucify Optus in their entirety for this. Yes a very very costly mistake, but one that needs learning from as IT professional.

Something which we are doing by bringing out information such as this thread below from Jeremy Kirk:

This week in Australia, one of our largest telco's got breached with sensitive client data being exposed. That data included names, numbers and passport details... serious yes but what we have seen in the media today has been a massive witch hunt that is unfairly blaming Optus for... what is becoming an almost weekly event around the world. Cybercrime is on the up and you are only as strong as your weakest link... some thoughts here.

Virtualization is Life! is now a Podcast!

Virtualization is Life! is now a Podcast!

The sister podcast to the blog, Virtualization if Life! by Anthony Spiteri (https://anthonyspiteri.net). The idea is to marry up blog posts to podcast episodes. As blog posts are created, there will be accompanying podcast to give some verbal context around what is contained in the blog post.

In this first episode, I talk a little about the idea behind this, how i was inspired by the Acquired Podcast (https://acquired.fm) and the reason behind trying something new in this ever changing world of content and content creation!
