I just got the email from haveibeenpwned. F Trello anyways.
15M Trello accounts have been leaked
That title is very misleading. 15M Trello accounts were found to be compromised because of other, previous leaks, but no leak related to Trello occurred.
Can you suggest one? I can modify.
Nobody watches sever logs 😞
Get something like splunk to do it. I’m wondering what the rules for this might look like, especially if this was e.g. distributed scraping.
With a site that active, they really need something that can’t identify strange traffic patterns. Hell, maybe they do but no one cared to do anything. Maybe no one listens to IT… that never happens /s
Why isn’t Trello / Atlassian warning about this?
This is the company who took weeks to restore customer backups.
TIL Atlassian owns trello
Because this is the norm for anything atlassian owned/operated…
Is atlassian really that bad?
327 CVE entries for atlassian. Lots of critical and high severity ones too. Dont use anything by atlassian, unless you want your company getting ransomwared.
Meh. More they’re swimming with big fish for about a decade or more now.
It’s not that they’re bad, it’s that their priorities have shifted and they don’t care.
The fact that they have yoinked their self-hosted option that was perfect for small/individual operators means their priorities no longer include growing organically.
A rabid fanbase of individual users is how you achieve meteoric growth. A sysadmin coming into a company that’s looking for a solution is only going to rave about products they have personally had an opportunity to use themselves.
Just like Microsoft with the former MSDN and its low entry costs, Atlassian has shot themselves in the foot and don’t even realize it.
That’s not what it means to breach an account…
How about “leaked”? I chose “breached” because title of mail was “You’re one of 15,111,945 people pwned in the Trello data breach”
No unauthorised access has occurred
My email has been leaked 20 times now, how lovely
Buddy, you need this more than I do
I’ve started using similar services recently but it was a bit too late haha
I exclusively use alias emails and have found the down side. If you use an alias email for each site you visit (let’s say an online shop that is ran by Shopify) there is an extremely high chance your purchase will be flagged (fuck you Shopify) as a fraudulent account. I am constantly being flagged on sites with Shopify back ends for fraud. It really sucks when your hoppy (FPV Drones) is mainly ran by Shopify sites.
P.S. There is no one to help resolve these issues with Shopify as they don’t have a customer support unless you’re a customer and the store owners are either dumb on how to help or just plain lazy.
I’ve just gone over 200 aliases and none of mine are blocked. Are you using a custom domain?
I found a .com domain helps with this. You can find some ugly ones for cheap
Wait til these people hear about phone books
Obligatory: companies should face harsh penalties for this stuff.
I agree that data security is important, even if it is only email addresses, where many are probably findable in the web anyway. Maybe, the link with the username has some value, but I’d bet only little. In my opinion, harsh penalties are more needed in privacy invasive (in my opinion malware) like google, meta, Amazon etc. are spreading.
The problem is that this data can be combined with other data. An email address by itself isn’t particularly important but when it’s matched up with names, physical addresses, DoB, SSN, other PII and the network of other services with matching data it becomes very serious.
It’s never just this breach, it’s every other breach as well. Every breach makes every preceeding breach more effective and more valuable.
Of course, but where are names, physical addresses, DoB, SSN, etc in this dataset? It’s just mail and username
Yes but this wasn’t a data breach. This was a data stuffing incident, meaning they took someone else’s data dump and tried their email and credentials here.
- never use the same username and password in two or more places
- always use MFA, a hard token if you can like a yubikey
Do you own a Yubikey?
Have you ever succeeded in getting it to work with anything??
It didn’t work with gmail, or any other online account I had.
An absolute waste of $$.
This should be a locally installed program with a licensing uab dongle or electronic license.
So much company secrets in there…
Hey OP, I’m doing some research. You mind sharing that link in the description of your screenshot?
Oh no not my email adress and username
Hello spam, and also confirmation that your email address and username is valid and can be used to try to log in elsewhere.
What do they do with this information? Sell to databrokers?
I just got this email from Google while reading this. A funny coincidence.
