Debian Security Advisory 5695-1

By Waqas
Dell has announced a data breach, while a hacker using the alias Menelik is selling 49 million Dell customer data on the notorious Breach Forums.
This is a post from HackRead.com Read the original post: Dell Discloses Data Breach As Hacker Sells 49 Million Customer Data

Dell Inc., the technology giant, has notified its customers of a data breach. According to an email obtained by Hackread.com, the breach affected a Dell portal housing customers’ information and their purchase history with **Dell**.

****Details of the Breach****

Although the company did not disclose the number of affected customers, the data compromised in the incident includes:

*   **Full names**
*   **Physical address**
*   **Dell hardware and order information, including service tag, item description, date of order and related warranty information.**

****Hacker Claims Responsibility****

The positive aspect is that email addresses, passwords, and banking or card data were not part of the breach. However, Hackread.com has verified that a hacker using the alias “Menelik” on **Breach Forums** has recently claimed responsibility for the breach.

It’s important to highlight that while the connection between Dell’s reported data breach and Menelik’s claim remains unconfirmed, the hacker maintains that this is indeed the same breach and has provided additional details regarding the compromised data. Specifically, Menelik alleges to have acquired the personal information of over 49 million Dell customers. This data comprises:

*   **City**
*   **Full Name**
*   **Address**
*   **Province**
*   **Postal Code**
*   **Warranty plan**
*   **Company Name**
*   **Dell Order Number**
*   **Dell Customer Number**
*   **System shipped date (order date)**
*   **Unique 7-digit service tag of the system.**

Sample data seen and analysed by Hackread.com

****Customers by Country****

Additionally, the hacker disclosed the countries with the highest number of affected Dell customers. These include:

1.  **India**
2.  **China**
3.  **Canada**
4.  **Australia**
5.  **United States**

****Dell Data Being Sold to One Buyer****

According to the hacker, the dataset consists of roughly 7 million rows of individual/personal purchase data and 11 million rows of consumer segment company data, and the rest comprises entries from enterprise clients, partners, educational institutions, and other entities. The data is currently being sold to a single buyer for an undisclosed amount.

****What Dell is Doing?****

Dell has taken several measures in response to the breach. They have notified law enforcement authorities and engaged a third-party forensic firm to investigate the incident.

Despite stating that they do not believe there is a significant risk due to the limited information compromised, the sale of data containing full names and physical addresses poses a considerable threat to customers.

This type of data exposure not only leaves individuals vulnerable to physical harm but also opens the door for threat actors to exploit the information in long-term **social engineering attacks**.

If you are among the victims of the recent Dell data breach, it’s crucial to remain alert. Hackers may use the stolen information to piece together additional details about you, including email addresses and data from previous breaches, increasing the risk of further exploitation.

Red Hat Security Advisory 2024-2483-03

While other professions are making up ground, cybersecurity still lags behind in female representation, thanks to a lack of respect and inclusion.

Source: Valeriy Kachaev via Alamy Stock Photo

Right now, in 2024, at least three of every four cybersecurity professionals is male.

Cybersecurity is hardly the only male-dominated industry, but even in contrast to others — like law (53%), accounting (46%), and doctors of medicine (37%) — it lags behind.

According to new research from ISC2, women make up just 20% to 25% of the cybersecurity industry. And that figure, it noted, has remained relatively consistent for some years.

It stands out even more when compared with the racial makeup of the industry. While the majority of cyber pros over the age of 40 in the US, the UK, Canada, and Ireland are white, the majority under 40 are not. ISC2 found that over the past 12 months, a full two-thirds of new entrants to the industry from those countries have been non-white.

The takeaway? Cybersecurity is fixing its diversity problem, but only halfway.

**Gender Representation in Cyber, by the Numbers**

Just 4% of ISC2 survey respondents indicated that women make up a majority of their security teams. By contrast, 11% admitted they have no women on their teams at all.

There seems to be a mild networking effect at play, too. The average woman in security works with around 8% more women (30%) on average than men do (22%).

The problem is pretty much the same across industries, as the most-diverse sectors, like cloud services, automotive, and construction (all 28% female), don't far outpace the least-diverse (military and energy, each at 20%).

There are, however, some positive trends alongside the lagging ones.

Where only around 14% or 15% of cyber pros over age 40 are women, at least 25% under age 35 are (a relative improvement).

Most interestingly, the women who do make it into the cybersecurity field tend to rise up the corporate ladder at least as high as, if not higher than, their male counterparts. Women own executive titles at a similar clip to men. A greater percentage of them possess managerial-level roles, and a lesser percentage are ranked as individual contributors. And counterintuitive though it may sound, a greater percentage of women in security are involved in the hiring process than are men (33% to 24%).

That data, however, contrasts with other recent findings.

**The Root of the Problem: Exclusion**

In its "2023 State of Inclusion Benchmark in Cybersecurity" report, Women in Cybersecurity (WiCyS) tracked the ways in which women experience exclusion in the industry. "Respect" ranked as the worst issue on its list, but just behind respect was "career and growth opportunities."

"Women are experiencing a glass ceiling at around six years," reports Lynn Dohm, executive director at WiCyS. "You could imagine the journey for a woman in cybersecurity as they're advancing in their career, not necessarily getting the stretch assignments they're anticipating, perhaps their managers aren't taking initiative and identifying the trajectory of their career within the organization, they're getting passed up for promotions and experiencing that lack of respect with microaggressions, tokenism, comments. All of that leads up to the point where an individual would likely choose to step out of the career and move into other areas."

It's a self-fulfilling cycle: Too little female representation is leading more women to steer clear of security. As Dohm puts it: "Lack of diversity in the workforce is a symptom of the lack of inclusion."

Simply hiring more women doesn't solve the problem, either, since exclusion extends far deeper than any one person or organization can account for.

"The gender gap in cybersecurity begins long before women reach the workforce," explains Jessy McDermott, partner solution architect at Aqua Security. "I know firsthand as a former engineering student that this gap existed at the college level. For example, only four other women — out of an original 15, excluding myself — completed the engineering program alongside me at UMass Dartmouth. During those four years, I experienced an ongoing prejudice and doubt and saw how women were ultimately driven out of the field before they even graduated.

"This is only exacerbated as time goes on and women begin to see that careers in information technology or cybersecurity are 'male-dominated.' If you’re somehow able to get through college without being driven out of the field, you've just started the first leg of a never-ending journey. Ultimately, this can all lead to imposter syndrome, which myself and many female friends in the industry deal with. I have days where, even now, as a cybersecurity professional with years of experience under my belt, I still get challenged to show and, more importantly, prove my knowledge to others."

So, she adds, "I love how more companies are going out of their way to hire more women into the field, but to see a difference, women need internal support to feel confident and be successful in their roles."

**Non-Diversity Consequences to Companies**

Besides the obvious consequences for people, there are also consequences for uniformity for companies.

"When retention isn't there for female talent, it costs money, because it's pulling back out recruiting dollars. And it's also a reputational risk," Dohm notes.

"Broader than cybersecurity, there's a body of research that says the more perspectives you bring to the table, the better off you will be at problem solving," says Clar Rosso, CEO of ISC2. "In cybersecurity, which is a very complex, growing threat landscape, the more perspectives that we bring to the table to solve problems, the more likely we will be able to impact our cyber defense."

Dohm puts it tersely: "It's a security risk not having the diverse perspective that women bring to the cybersecurity workforce."

Cybersecurity Is Becoming More Diverse … Except by Gender

Plus: Microsoft scolded for a “cascade” of security failures, AI-generated lawyers send fake legal threats, a data broker quietly lobbies against US privacy legislation, and more.

It’s been a week since the world avoided a potentially catastrophic cyberattack. On March 29, Microsoft developer Andres Freund disclosed his discovery of a backdoor in XZ Utils, a compression tool widely used in Linux distributions and thus countless computer systems worldwide. The backdoor was inserted into the open source tool by someone operating under the persona “Jia Tan” after years of patient work building a reputation as a trustworthy volunteer developer. Security experts believe Jia Tan is the work of a nation-state actor, with clues largely pointing to Russia, although definitive attribution for the attack is still outstanding.

In early 2022, a hacker operating under the name “P4x” took down the internet of North Korea, after the country’s hackers had targeted him. This week, WIRED revealed P4x’s true identity as Alejandro Caceres, a 38-year-old Colombian American. Following his successful attack on North Korea, Caceres pitched the US military on a “special forces”-style offensive hacking team that would carry out operations similar to the one that made P4x famous. The Pentagon eventually declined, but Caceres has launched a startup, Hyperion Gray, and plans to further pursue his controversial approach to cyberwarfare.

In mid-February, millions of people lost internet access after three undersea cables in the Arabian Sea were damaged. Some blamed Houthi rebels in Yemen, who had been attacking ships in the region, but the group denied it had sabotaged the cables. But the rebel attacks are still likely to blame—albeit, in a bizarre way. A WIRED analysis of satellite images, maritime data, and more found that the cables were likely damaged by the trailing anchor of a cargo ship that the Houthi rebels had bombed. The ship drifted for two weeks before finally sinking, crossing paths with the cables at the time they were damaged.

The myth that Google Chrome’s Incognito mode provides adequate privacy protections can finally be put to rest. As part of a settlement over Google’s Incognito privacy claims and practices, the company has agreed to delete “billions” of records collected while users browsed in Incognito mode. It will also further clarify how much user data can be collected by Google and third parties while Incognito is enabled, and take further steps to protect user privacy. There are other privacy-focused browsers that can replace Chrome. But if you’re still using it, make sure to update it to patch some serious security flaws.

But that’s not all. Each week, we round up the security and privacy news we didn’t cover in depth ourselves. Click the headlines to read the full stories. And stay safe out there.

A 58-year-old hospital systems administrator pleaded guilty this week to US federal charges after he was caught using another man’s name for more than 30 years. Matthew David Keirans allegedly stole the identity of William Woods in 1988, when the two men worked at a hot dog cart in Albuquerque, New Mexico, according to the US Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Iowa. Over the decades, Keirans obtained employment, bank accounts, loans, and insurance, and paid taxes, under the Woods name. Keirans even had a child whose last name is Woods.

The real William Woods, meanwhile, reportedly learned that someone else was using his identity in 2019. At the time, Woods was unhoused and living in Los Angeles. He contacted a bank where “William Woods” had an account, providing his real Social Security card and California ID card to prove his identity. However, he could not answer the security questions to gain access. The bank called Keirans—who was pretending to be Woods—and Keirans convinced the bank employee that the real Woods should not have access to the accounts. The Los Angeles Police Department then arrested the real Woods and charged him with identity theft after Keirans provided officers with false documents and information.

In a nightmarish twist, during judicial proceedings, the real Woods accurately maintained that “William Donald Woods” was his true identity, prompting the court to order him to a mental institution. The real Woods ultimately spent 428 days in jail and 147 days in a mental hospital before his release.

The real Woods then continued to work to regain his true identity, eventually contacting authorities after learning that Keirans worked at a hospital in Iowa City. Investigators later confirmed the real Woods’ identity after obtaining a DNA test. Confronted with the evidence, Keirans confessed to a series of crimes and now faces a maximum sentence of 32 years in prison, a $1.25 million fine, and five years of supervised release.

**US Review Board Slams Microsoft for ‘Cascade of Avoidable Security Failures’**

The White-House mandated Cyber Safety Review Board issued a scathing report against Microsoft this week, accusing the tech giant of failing to stop a “preventable” intrusion by China-backed hackers of hundreds of Microsoft Exchange Online email accounts. To gain access to email accounts belonging to 22 organizations and 500 individuals worldwide, the hackers, known as Storm-0558, stole a Microsoft cryptographic key. The CSRB report chastises the company for failing to detect “the compromise of its cryptographic crown jewels,” inadequate security practices, and a “corporate culture that deprioritized both enterprise security investments and rigorous risk management,” among a “cascade” of other defeats.

The report also found that Microsoft still does not know how Storm-0558 obtained its key, accusing the company of making false statements after it initially claimed that the key was accidentally included in an April 2021 “crash dump.” The company has since updated its explanation of the intrusion to say that it still does not know how the hackers obtained the key. The CSRB issued 25 recommended steps that Microsoft—a major government contractor whose systems protect highly sensitive information—should take to better protect its systems.

**AI-Generated Lawyers Caught Spewing Fake Legal Threats**

The owner of the website Tedium received legal threats from a nonexistent “law firm” charging the publication with a copyright violation. The thing is, the “lawyers” behind the complaint were AI-generated. The “law firm” accused Tedium of using a photograph without the owner’s consent, and a "copyright infringement" notice offered to supposedly settle the matter, if only Tedium would agree to properly credit the photo’s “owner” and link out to their website. This was, of course, a backlink scam designed to boost the SEO ranking of the fake copyright holder’s page. Only this time, the scam was bolstered by a cast of AI-generated characters: a hot-shot team of young, "skilled lawyers" purportedly specializing in creative rights and commercial law.

**Data Behemoth Enlists Lobbyists Against Effort in US to Limit Deals With Spies**

An internal feud is underway in the US Congress over the fate of a beleaguered spy program called Section 702 and the commercial deals that US intelligence agencies have struck in recent years with global data brokers, purchasing information that government agents typically need a warrant to obtain. Consequently, the UK owner of LexisNexis—an “amalgam of publishers and data brokers, stitched together into a single information giant”—has retained the services of a Washington, DC, lobbying firm to engage with federal lawmakers over “potential privacy, data security, breach notification, data broker, and FISA reform legislation.” Politico reports that the company, RELX, previously used the firm, Venable, to combat privacy legislation aimed at restricting the kinds of personal data companies are allowed to sell to law enforcement.

**‘Weapon Scanners’ Eyed by New York’s Surveillant Mayor Boasts Abysmal Track Record**

New York City mayor Eric Adams is hastening his crusade against subway violence with a plan to test weapons scanners that claim to use artificial intelligence to detect whether commuters are carrying blades and firearms. Documents obtained by Hell Gate reveal what Adams failed to disclose at a press conference last week: that data already in the city’s hands show the technology is only rarely useful. After police officers permitted to carry firearms were factored out of one study at a Bronx hospital, the scanners were found to be accurate less than 1 percent of the time. (All told, more than 85 percent of the time, the scanners cast false suspicion on New Yorkers who were found to be unarmed.) The move by Adams follows New York governor Kathy Hochul’s deployment of hundreds of National Guard soldiers in the city’s subway systems. Adams first addressed a spate of homicides and stabbings across the city in March by sending hundreds of police officers underground to search commuters' bags at well over 100 subway stations—a tactic that roused resistance from a few locals this week who smashed ticket machines and disabled security cameras at a midtown station to protest the surveillance surge.

The root cause of the vulnerability is the application's failure to properly sanitize user input in document rendering paths, which permits the injection of malicious scripts.Vulnerability Type: XSS (Cross Site Scripting)Vendor of Product:DerbyNet - https://github.com/jeffpiazza/derbynetAffected Product Code Base:DerbyNet - v9.0Affected Component:render-document.phpAttack Type:RemoteImpact:Code executionRoot Cause:The vulnerability arises from the application's display of debug information, including `ORIG_SCRIPT_FILENAME`, `DOCUMENT_URI`, `SCRIPT_NAME`, and `PHP_SELF`. These debug outputs improperly handle user-supplied input by not sanitizing it before inclusion in the output, leading directly to XSS vulnerabilities when malicious inputs are rendered by the browser.Attack Vectors:The vulnerability can be exploited with URLs such as:- `http://127.0.0.1:8000/render-document.php/racer/<img src=x onerror=alert(1)>`- `http://127.0.0.1:8000/render-document.php/<img src=x onerror=alert(1)>`Discoverer:Valentin LobsteinReferences:- http://derbynet.com- https://github.com/jeffpiazza/derbynet
