Still, the financial org said it would reimburse fraudulent charges and provide monitoring for anyone who is found to have had their data misused as a result of the leak.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"crosshead\"><span>Used Nest cams pose security risk<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Getting a bargain on a pre-owned security camera may have put your privacy at risk. This is <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/thewirecutter.com\/blog\/used-nest-cams-can-let-people-spy-on-you\/\">according to a report<\/a> from the New York Times&#8217; Wire Cutter site, which found that people who had sold their Nest cameras after doing a factory reset could still access surveillance images from the new owner via the Wink home hub.<\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, Google said it has since issued an automatic update that will roll out to every Nest camera. This means as long as you perform a factory reset, your used Nest should be OK from then on.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"crosshead\"><span>Florida town caves to ransomware demand<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A city in Florida, US, has found itself $600,000 lighter following a ransomware infection on its officials&#8217; computers.<\/p>\n<p>The <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/nation\/2019\/06\/19\/riviera-beach-florida-pays-hackers-600-000-ransom-save-records\/1505178001\/\">city of Riviera Beach said<\/a> that after initially opting to replace its IT systems in response to a ransomware outbreak, it is following the advice of outside security consultants and handing over the Bitcoin ransom to get their encrypted files descrambled.<\/p>\n<p>While the FBI and many security pros discourage companies from paying off ransomware attackers (often this <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2018\/03\/09\/less_than_half_of_ransomware_marks_get_their_files_back\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">doesn&#8217;t even work<\/a>), the reality of long and costly recovery projects means that often companies might be <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2019\/06\/06\/ransomware_coping_strategy\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">better served<\/a> by at least considering a payout.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"crosshead\"><span>Tor follows Mozilla&#8217;s lead with bug fix<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>For those who don&#8217;t know, the Tor browser is more or less a version of Firefox with a ton of privacy features baked in. It makes sense, then, that some bug fixes for the Mozilla browser also need to be applied to the Tor version.<\/p>\n<p>That is the case with a sandbox escape bug that recently surfaced as part of a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2019\/06\/20\/coinbase_firefox_zero_day\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">zero-day attack<\/a> on Firefox. <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.torproject.org\/new-release-tor-browser-853\">Tor says<\/a> that users should make sure their browser is updated to protect against similar exploits.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"crosshead\"><span>Want another reason to patch the Exim bug?

The software nasty uses the security hole to inject crypto-miners into Linux servers, and then uses the commandeered boxes to search for other machines to infect. Admins are well-advised to check they have the latest version of Exim, or at least a patched build.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"crosshead\"><span>In brief&#8230;<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Perceptics, a maker of license-plate recognition systems for the US border cops, was hacked, as <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.co.uk\/2019\/05\/23\/perceptics_hacked_license_plate_recognition\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">we reported first last month<\/a>, and its internal files spilled onto the dark web as a result.
