21 million screenshots in one open bucket.

Workplace surveillance system #WorkComposer is under fire this week, for storing sensitive data with ZERO #security. The hapless firm saved more than 21 million screenshots from 200,000 users’ work PC screens—and popped them in an open #AmazonWebServices #S3 bucket.

Hackers could have easily stolen company secrets—and personal ones, too. In #SBBlogwatch, we can’t quite believe it.

Security Boulevard · 200,000 Workers’ PII at Risk in WorkComposer S3 SNAFUDon’t say ‘spyware’—21 million screenshots in one open bucket.

The #data team I lead for the #Australian Plant Phenomics Network (plantphenomics.org/) is seeking two additional #Python #developers as part of our efforts to build end-to-end pipelines for #FAIR #research data.

One will focus on interfaces between our nodes and #S3 #repository storage at #Pawsey and #NCI.

The other will build tools to help nodes package complex data using RO-Crate.

The preferred location is Adelaide.

Garage - An open-source distributed object storage service

Does any of you know about this and also use it professionally and if so in what context and how? Honestly, I'm standing up a little.

Looking for a backup solution for my Fedora workstation. I want to store the files in a Backblaze B2 bucket. What do you guys recommend?

I'm tired of doing everything from scratch every time I reinstall the OS for some reason.

  • I think having a proper #API is a way to facilitate that, cuz worst-case one just slaps together some #aliases in #bash, #fish, #zsh or whatever #shell and just uses #curl to query stuff manually as this solves the whole #WebApp - issue.

And I do prefer #FLOSS as it works fine for an ever increasing audience!

  • Even if we choose to point at bad #UX / #UI combos like #GnuPG, we've to also acknowledge better existing alternatives like #enc that just work!

Personally, I think that everything people are expected to use if not forced to use should be #OpenSource as licensed in a #OSI accredited license and be released with #SourceCode and #documentation to make #reproduceableBuilds and thus facilitate #audits by truly independent parties...

  • And if that's not possible any requirement to using said things should be outlawed no matter the context!

A unsarcastically good example is #S3, even tho I hate #amazon, they wanted #developers to integrate their #ObjectStorage which necessitated an #open source'd API to the point that it's #backend is inherently reproduceable, and now every halfassing #Webhoster offers S3 #storage, sometimes with bit & second-precise billing.

@mrchrisadams Yeah, #S3-Style #ObjectStorage is nifty in many places.

  • It's kinda good that whilst #amazon is a bad company, they basically had to "#OpenSource" S3 as a #specification so anyone would even bother to implement it at all, and basically every #hoster nowadays offers that with bit & second-precise billing if wanted, as it's more convenient to #FTP and other #quota / #fixed storage...
