No thread on the QC data breach?

[sleewell2]

That's odd.



Storing people's wifi passwords and other info in plain text that was easily hacked.


Dang. What a blunder.

 

[fffppptmeh]

Yeah they should explain the logic of that one. Pretty dumb.

Saves on discovery fees once they get sued...

Where did you hear about this? I just asked a friend of mine who has a QC and he didn't receive an email or anything about it.

It's being discussed on every other forum besides here

Thanks for the link

>unfortunately, the data was not encrypted

Lol uhh why not?

I like how they call it an “unsuccessful login attempt” and yet access to 3300 users’ email accounts and logs (including wifi passwords) were exposed to the exploiters.

Sounds pretty successful.

And IIRC correctly - vulnerabilities like this were exposed last year and they brushed it off and did nothing.

And who stores unencrypted passwords? In log files. With email addresses.

I’m not in IT, but isn’t that security 101?

I went to the link above, and a pop-up asked for my email to get on the mailing list. Hard pass!

Sadly, most folks use the same password everywhere so this is a big deal. Neural could be in major trouble over this. Storing sensitive data in plain text is inexcusable. It’s an offense warranting termination where I work, not to mention the potential litigation it invites.

Especially when there's evidence that it was previously brought to your attention almost a year earlier.


This thread will be gone by tomorrow.

I’m curious to know if the terms of use specifically mention that email and wifi passwords were collected by the unit. Someone want to read through them?

If someone really did want to file a lawsuit against Neural, this might be the opening. I’d laugh but it’s not very funny.

 

[forum_crawler]

I am confused, so they are calling home with wifi password information?
Because that is a big one.

Encryption soon…

Why?

Why?

Idk, something about dissenting QC topics and their tendency to get vaporized around here.
