ハッカーがUber社員のSlackアカウント経由で内部システムにハッキングしたとNew York TimesとWashington Postが報道。UberのAWSとGoogle Cloudもハックされ、内部財務データにアクセスされた可能性。Uberは警察に通報して調査中だと発表。

This is a major deal if true --> not only have Uber's systems been compromised, but the company will remained compromised until it fixes all of their known vulnerabilities. In other words, the odds of hacker reentry are extremely high and will remain so for the foreseeable future

Cybersecurity truths:
— Tiffany C. Li (@tiffanycli) September 16, 2022
1. No system is perfectly secure.
2. The more data you store, the more data you risk.
Good thing the only sensitive personal data Uber has are financial info, contact info, and also the records of everywhere every user has ever traveled at any time. https://t.co/bVRVa7GPbd
Pour one out for the security response team at Uber.
— Katie🌻Moussouris (she/her) (@k8em0) September 16, 2022
Hardcoded secrets in a powershell script got them powershellacked.
Good practice is to assume intruders will seek out your internal scripts & do not leave secrets hard coded to help them elevate privilege & pivot like this. https://t.co/Vy0gPU04Zc
NEW: One of the biggest takeaways of the Uber hack is that 2FA via push notifications is flawed and relatively easy to circumvent.

Instead of doing anything, a good portion of the staff was interacting and mocking the hacker thinking someone was playing a joke. After being told to stop going on slack, people kept going on for the jokes. lmao
