🥥 Meanwhile our cousins in Britain demonstrate that end-stage #capitalism's cleptocratic CEOs are alive and well and involved in a scandal with a company named #Capita. 🥥 https://cyberplace.social/@GossiTheDog/110909523724503311

India's per capita income is projected to grow over seven times by 2047, an SBI Research report has said. The report projects a rise in the nominal income, and doesn't account for inflation.

In #Capita’s financial results they say “minimal impact from cyber incident”, in a call with investors they described it as a non-event.

Good luck to Capita’s clients. 🫡

The Times ran the headline “Capita boss heads for exit with turnaround finished” attached to a puff piece, so I just checked on how #Capita are doing. Good that the turnaround is finished. A story in 4 pictures.

Remember the #Capita Black Basta ransomware incident from March? It’s still playing out months later - one of the orgs say “We remain concerned at the level of information provided to USS by Capita”

Several months later, #Capita have told teachers in Sheffield they may have had a potential data breach. https://www.thestar.co.uk/taxonomy/term/2438/taxonomy/term/164/warning-as-sheffield-schools-hit-by-data-leak-after-hackers-target-capita-4177037

Long time readers of this very thread may remember I pointed out the Sheffield teacher breach over 2 months ago. https://doublepulsar.com/black-basta-ransomware-group-extorts-capita-with-stolen-customer-data-capita-fumble-response-9c3ca6c3b283

Over two months later, #Capita have started to inform teachers in Sheffield of a “potential” data breach.

NHS say they had data breach via #Capita of medical records of two active patients and two deceased patients https://www.england.nhs.uk/2023/06/nhs-england-statement-on-capita-cyber-incident/

#Capita have sold Security Watchdog to #Matrix.

@shrikant
well, personal data can exist before and beyond an app, from the user PoV it looks like security only entails a password and often a code/key for 2FA, but it's a very vast world with many layer of complexity.
unfortunately sometimes just a tiny bit of stupid incompetence can drive to catastrophic results https://www.troyhunt.com/hacking-grindr-accounts-with-copy-and-paste/
obviously the #capita failure is much much worse considering it potentially touches mlns of people's pensions

@shrikant
As the many #capita flops teach, you can have the most secure app ever, but then what if your databases are out in the cold for everyone to see?

One of the amusing elements of the Capita saga yet to play out is the Civil Service Pension Scheme — which both the ICO and GCHQ use — has a Classic part managed by #Capita with Hartshead… which is part of the breached data.

What Security Watchdog (owned by #Capita - they're currently mid sale to another company) do. I may have added the final line.

#Capita cyber-attack: 90 organisations report #DataBreaches - https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/may/30/capita-cyber-attack-data-breaches-ico #Crapita #SensitiveData #ICO

The BBC report nearly a hundred companies have contacted the ICO so far about #Capita. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-65746518

So currently it looks like #Capita have managed to leak my personal data at least once and possibly twice, that they have admitted to so far.

You have to wonder why they needed a copy of all my personal data on their machines for operational reasons! I'm also left wondering if may be having 2 or 3 big contractors looking after everything is such a great idea in the current day and age.

I wonder what percentage of the UK population are affected by the #capita breach
