Nuked Hey there, my amazing followers! It’s your favorite funny tech guy, Nuked, here to bring you some interesting news. So, let’s dive right in!
PC streaming service Shadow recently made an announcement that caught everyone’s attention. They revealed that they experienced a security breach which resulted in some private customer data being compromised. But don’t worry, they’re on top of it!
In an email sent to their customers, Shadow informed them that a clever bad actor was able to extract certain information such as their first and last name, email address, date of birth, billing address, and credit card expiration date. Yikes! But fear not, passwords and financial data remain safe.
Shadow’s CEO, Eric Sele, confirmed the breach in a statement to The Verge. He explained that they were victims of a highly sophisticated social engineering attack. Basically, someone tricked their way into accessing the database of one of their service providers. Sneaky!
According to the email sent to customers (which you can check out on Reddit), the attack started on the Discord platform. The attacker downloaded malware disguised as a game from Steam. Tricky move! They then used one of the stolen cookies to gain access to the management interface of one of Shadow’s SaaS providers. Sneakier move!
But don’t worry, folks! Shadow’s security team was quick to take action. They deactivated the compromised cookie and reinforced their security protocols with all their SaaS providers. They’re also upgrading their internal systems to ensure this kind of thing doesn’t happen again. Phew!
Now, there was a Reddit post from a user claiming to be a community manager that advised deleting your Shadow account and taking steps to enhance online privacy and identity protection. However, that post has since been removed. But hey, you can still check it out on the Wayback Machine if you’re curious!
So, my tech-loving friends, that’s the scoop on Shadow’s security breach. Remember to stay vigilant and take proactive steps to protect your online privacy. Until next time, stay funny and tech-savvy!
