Have to wonder if the breach was facilitated by a company insider who agrees with the marxists?Rafe wrote: Tue Jun 23, 2020 11:04 am The Texas web design and hosting company is confirmed to be "Netsential," in Houston. The attachment shows what their own landing page looks like right now.
That's entirely possible. I haven't had much interaction with Netsential, but I did consult for a company back in 2012 that was using Netsential for all their website work, and they were doing an RFP for overhauling the site, plus improving some payment and customer information storage features. What I can say from that limited introduction was that I found the existing website--which I think Netsential built about three or four years prior--to be using a seemingly rather antiquated framework, one which seemed to be completely proprietary, and they didn't even store the client company's data in a common format that could be exchanged if the client chose to cancel the contract. Plus, every--even insignificant--alteration or customization in code was covered by the Netsential contract...and even if the client did the detailed spec design or provided existing code for rework, Netsential claimed 100% copyright to every line of code.Grayling813 wrote: Tue Jun 23, 2020 12:12 pmHave to wonder if the breach was facilitated by a company insider who agrees with the marxists?Rafe wrote: Tue Jun 23, 2020 11:04 am The Texas web design and hosting company is confirmed to be "Netsential," in Houston.

Oh, and at that time Netsential used colocated server equipment; the data center wasn't their own, but they managed their equipment installed in the 3rd party center. Not an unusual arrangement, even for large companies. But still, there it is. And from what I gather reading the various reports about the breach (that AndyC called my attention to) it wasn't the data center networking, gateway, and access that was breached; it was a vulnerability or multiple vulnerabilities on one Netsential's servers that then allowed the hacker to access several of their servers and many of their client accounts.
Yep; or the third scenario where an insider doesn't actually copy data, but enables a backdoor (even something as simple as disclosing an administrator password) so that an external party can gain direct access to a resource.Grayling813 wrote: Tue Jun 23, 2020 1:05 pm IMHO, a data security breach isn't dependent upon whether it was done by hacking or by an insider copying the information. The DNC server "hacks" were eventually proven to have been by an insider copying the data to a removable drive.
