DB     DropBox Password Hack

Me, I am not a fan of storing my personal files in the cloud.  Any Dip S*** who supports the cloud would have access to it. Its also a great way to steal company data, which is why smart IT security makes sure to block it. I found this article interesting because  it adds to the argument, if you want your data private, don't store it online. Second, I am always seeing tickets for employee credentials being displayed on sites like pastebin because they used their company domain username  and password as a login credentials online and we have to make them change their password just in case a bad actor attempts to use those credentials. The hack occurred in 2012, wonder what kind of damage was inflicted until it was discovered this year?

Linux Botnets on a Rampage

I found this article interesting because the syllabus video mentioned how Windows used to be considered the main operating system to attack . This article talks about the rise of using  DDOS botnets to attack Linux operating systems, especially against China.
