DAY 19/31 A single misconfiguration, A national consequence (Optus, 2022)
It was September 2022 when nearly 10 million customers learnt that their most personal details had slipped into the wrong hands.
Optus, one of Australia’s largest telecommunications providers, announced a “cyber incident.” The attackers exploited a misconfigured API that was left exposed to the internet without requiring user authentication.
Through that unnoticed door, the attackers accessed sensitive customer data, names, dates of birth, phone numbers, email addresses, and for some, driver’s license and passport numbers.
A ransom demand for around A$1.5 million in cryptocurrency appeared online. After a few hours, the attackers deleted the ransom notice and apologised for their actions.

Day 1/31 “When Innocence Was Exploited”
Kido International - 2025
A cyber-attack hit an institution built on care, where trust is everything.
Few days ago, a criminal group calling itself Radiant claimed to have breached Kido International (A nursery chain with 18 UK sites and additional sites overseas). The group reportedly stole personal information of about 8000 children.
The attackers published profiles of 20 children on a darknet leak site, and private data of employees. They contacted some parents and carers, threatening to post more information, unless Kido pays a ransom.
The stolen data includes children’s names, photographs, DOBs, home addresses etc. Multiple reports indicate the breach involved third-party systems.

The attackers claimed they "deserve to be compensated for their pentest”
Was this truly a penetration test? Explain why or why not.
I want to raise an alarm for this young lady. She is only 23years old and she has ENDSTAGE RENAL DISEASE.
It means her kidneys have failed and she is dependent on weekly dialysis until she gets a new kidney transplant.
Pls share this. Help save her life.
Some connections change the way you see your field and your future for the better.
Truly grateful for the privilege of being mentored by @ireteeh.
It’s one thing to have a mentor, it’s another to have this mentor. 🙌🏽 Game changer 🚀

I am seeking a cybersecurity instructor opportunity for one of my mentees. He has a strong background in designing course materials that align with the current cybersecurity landscape and delivers engaging classes, particularly in Security Operations Center (SOC).
He is proficient in SOC tools, threat detection, and facilitating hands-on labs. Please feel free to reach out if there are any relevant openings.
I don’t like this tweet. Someone with this type of “influence” on social media must have come across the good work we do in the Cybersecurity community.
Just because something didn’t go his way once and he has this to say about the Cybersecurity community?
We don’t do elite nonsense here just fyi. We teach, train, mentor and support people to have a career in Cybersecurity. It’s not chochocho, evidence dey 💪
