The latest episode of the Breaking Badness Cybersecurity Podcast is here! In this episode, @NotTheLinux, @tw_pierce, and @ColonelPanic discuss research from @watchtowrcyber on S3 bucket takeovers.

What Happened?

🔹Researchers discovered old S3 buckets that were still being referenced by active systems, allowing them to hijack storage namespaces.
🔹Millions of inbound requests were being made to these abandoned cloud storage links.
🔹Potential impact? Attackers could have replaced legitimate files with malicious software, compromising critical infrastructure.

In a recent episode of the Breaking Badness Cybersecurity Podcast, we discussed the risks of retaining old chat histories and how they could expose sensitive data.

There are certain messengers that will use data to train LLM models and it might be time to go into your direct messages as they probably aren't encrypted end-to-end.

From a domain and DNS perspective, shared URLs in messages will have domain ownership changes, which could have some consequences if you go back to click on them later.

On this week's episode of Breaking Badness, @NotTheLinux, @ColonelPanic, and @tw_pierce discuss two fascinating cybersecurity incidents that expose both corporate misconfigurations and hacker missteps.

First, we cover a DNS error discovered by security researcher Philippe Caturegli, which left the company open to traffic hijacking and data exposure. This long-overlooked flaw, dating back years, could have been exploited by attackers to redirect users, intercept data, and manipulate services.

Next, in a turn of events that underscores the “no honor among thieves” trope, a threat actor baited low-skilled hackers (script kiddies) with a fake malware builder. Instead of gaining hacking capabilities, they unwittingly installed a backdoor on their own machines, allowing the original attacker to steal their data and take control of their systems.
