Description
St. Jude, MedSec and the FDA FDA, St. Jude go through disclosure/fix cycle No mention of MedSec - interesting for discussion; did they have an impact? St. Jude does a fairly great job of notification, updating “Benefits outweigh the risks”... that’s a big statement http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/AlertsandNotices/ucm535843.htm http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20170109005921/en/St.-Jude-Medical-Announces-Cybersecurity-Updates http://www.medsec.com/entries/stj-lawsuit-response.html http://podcast.developsec.com/ep-56-security-contacts New York financial regulator to delay cyber security rules Originally supposed to go into effect Jan 1.. New Date is March 1 We discussed in passing in a previous episode There are final adjustments being made, of course http://www.reuters.com/article/us-cyber-new-york-idUSKBN14A224 Massachusetts makes data breach reports available online http://turnto10.com/news/local/massachusetts-makes-data-breach-reports-available-online-01-04-2017 Seems less like a report and more of just the quick details of the notification http://www.mass.gov/ocabr/data-privacy-and-security/data/data-breach-notification-archive.html How much value does this provide? Finding a company on the list doesn’t indicate its current security posture. Identifying that you did business with a company on the list.. Not much you can do anyway. Still no indications of what happened, or who was actually affected Wouldn’t you get an email or snail mail during the original notification procedures? New Hampshire has done this for a while, except they provide the submitted letters, not just statistics (http://doj.nh.gov/consumer/security-breaches/) Another article talking about a few other states that do this as well https://www.wired.com/2017/01/states-now-actually-help-figure-youve-hacked/ Washington, Indiana, California California passes law making ransomware illegal Wasn’t it already illegal under the CFAA? The purpose is to make it easier to prosecute rather than being forced to prosecute under other extortion or laundering laws How does this affect the enterprise? More apt to follow up or file with FBI or other law enforcement? Will we see more laws like this, where they target specific acts? http://www.computerweekly.com/news/450410402/California-legislates-against-ransomware Online databases dropping like flies, with >10K falling to ransomware groups This was reported earlier in the week (last monday or Tuesday) and has grown to more than 10K infected in less than a week.
