    It doesn't look like a big breach but good for them to be transparent about it. :thumb:

    USA still the best. But barely.
    This is a nation-state hack right?

    It doesn't seem like it. It's just some misconfiguration:

    well, they have to be transparent, because they're worried that hackers might leak it. so it's just a preemptive move.

    The Malwarebytes was, not sure about this EMSISOFT. Either way, fortunately, both were very minor as the EMSISOFT only affected a handful of company email accounts (not individual consumers) and the Malwarebytes only affected a "limited" number (don't know what that means) of "internal company emails". So again, not individual customer accounts.

    Well, I personally don't know why he didn't post here either, he used to, a lot. So, one can speculate but that can be unpleasant.

    It was good to see him posting somewhere at least. I haven't seen him in the past months, not even on Twitter.
