Sorry, we’ve upchucked your COVID test results and other medical and personal data into public GitHub storage buckets, the Wyoming Department of Health said.
The Wyoming Department of Health (WDH) said on Wednesday it accidentally posted COVID test results of state residents onto their public-facing storage buckets.
The WDH said in a public advisory that an employee fumbled the health information of about 164,021 Wyoming residents and of people from other states as early as Nov. 5. The department learned about the data exposure on March 10. The 2020 census showed that Wyoming has about 577,000 residents, meaning that this spill affected about 25% of its population.

Insurance
I have previously written about what insurance needs to do to bounce back after a traumatic year as personal claims soared, credits and rebates were proffered, demand for L&I flagged, health cover exposure became a conundrum and contact centres everywhere bowed under demand. Even before, this was a sector beset by the throes of technological change, new consumer habits, giant challengers and fresh-faced startups. The widely held view was that insurance signposted a “Land That Time Forgot,” inhabited by dinosaurs and marked by a slower-than-glacial pace of change. Then along came COVID-19.

It found that 98 per cent of these businesses received a threat from a supplier domain.
For the Australian companies studied, this number was 100 per cent.

Threat actors are leveraging the supply chain to deliver various types of threats to organizations, and few of them are spared from such attacks, according to a new report from enterprise security company Proofpoint.
During a seven-day window in February 2021, out of a total of 3,000 monitored organizations, Proofpoint reports that a whopping 98 percent were hit with a form of assault leveraging compromised supplier accounts and supplier impersonation.
Such attacks, Proofpoint explains, leverage compromised supplier domains to deliver a broad range of threats, including invoicing fraud, phishing messages aimed at credential harvesting, malware, and business email compromise (BEC).

Personal Google account users will also not receive the new change
Google has delayed its policy aimed at counting Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drawings, Forms, and Jamboard files created by Workspace users toward the overall storage cap until February 1, 2022. The new change comes as an update to the announcement the search giant made in November, in which it announced a 15GB storage cap for both Google Workspace (formerly called G Suite) as well as Google Photos users from June 1.
