nVidia Breached
An email outlining the breach was sent to NVIDIA employees on Wednesday December 17th from the privacy office informing them that a breach had occurred and that their individual information had been compromised. It was unclear from the email how many staff were affected by this breach. The current staff complement tallies in around 8,800. The employee user accounts and passwords were compromised and users were urged to:
- Monitor their financial statements
- Contact the police if they are subject to ID Theft
- Be cognizant of phishing emails
- Change passwords and not use the same passwords for different accounts.
Based off the bullet points, it leads me to believe that an HR system was found to be compromised. These are also common topics in a security awareness program.

Organized Crime Hackers Hit OneStopParking.com
According to KrebsOnSecurity, OneStopParKing has been breached. Many banks reported to Brian that cards with fraudulent charges have all been used at OneStopParking.com. The stolen card data that bank sources traced back are among hundreds or thousands that went on sale Dec. 21 at Rescator, in a batch dubbed “Solidus.” It is thought to be the same organized crime gang responsible for stealing tens of millions of card numbers from shoppers at Target and Home Depot.
The card data ranges in price from $6 to $12 per card, and include the card number, expiration date, 3-digit card verification code, as well as the cardholder’s name, address and phone number.
To me, the answer is simple. Paying for parking sucks and I can’t believe it turned into a business model! Nobody likes paying to park their car! Even malls are coming up with valet services and everybody hates that. Let’s rid the world of paying to park our cars.
I know that really isn’t the answer. Neither is vandalism, so don’t go breaking parking payment meters!

JP Morgan Follow Up: 2 Factor Authentication Fail
Back in October, I wrote about JP Morgan getting breached, and 76 million households and 7 million small businesses were affected. (83 Million in total)
Most big banks use two-factor authentication, which requires a second one-time password to gain access to a protected system. But JPMorgan’s security team had apparently neglected to upgrade one of its network servers which left the bank vulnerable to intrusion.
JPMorgan Chase admitted in September that the names, addresses, phone numbers and e-mail addresses of 83 million account holders had been exposed in one one of the biggest data security breaches in history. 76 million of those, along with seven million small biz customers, had their private information publicly exposed as a result of the breach, which was rumoured to be the handiwork of Russian cyber-criminals.

German Steel Mill Hacked
A spear phishing attack led to a German steel mill to perform an unscheduled shut down and a blast furnace could not be shut down as normal. Attackers were very skilled and used both targeted emails and social engineering techniques to infiltrate the plant.
The attackers showed familiarity with both IT security systems but also the specialized software used to oversee and administer the plant.
