#littlebreaches — Public Fediverse posts

Some time ago I posted search for a specific security incident #wisdomofthecrowd / #swarmintelligence

https://infosec.exchange/@realn2s/111464877137569866

I just noticed I never explained why.

If you work in #Cybersecurity you sometimes encounter resistance to take steps to secure oneself (or the organisation). The argument often goes something like:

"I'm not a target"
"To attack us wouldn't be profitable"
"We are to minor/nobody knows me"
"We are not a bank"
...

To counter that I'm searching for stories of #LittleBreaches. In which a few 100 or thousand £¥$€ were stolen. Which maybe even had a "happy ending" (because they failed or the victims got reimbursed).

I'm looking for stories were listeners think "😳 that could have been me"

And stories which are in the news usually don't do this
