Written by Posted on Less than 0 min read

AdvertisementThe database, which belongs to lease management software from a company called LeaseSolution, contains 6 million database entries detailing confidential business information from nine companies including Samsung and Rolls-Royce, according to TurgenSec researchers.
Under UK law, LeaseSolution is required to notify the Information Commissioner’s Office of any data breach within 48 hours of being notified.
While TurgenSec said it notified LeaseSolution of its discovery on April 15, it’s unclear whether the ICO has been notified.
However, it’s often these types of mundane or overlooked software that contain the most valuable information for criminals.
Last week, for example, Gizmodo reported that hundreds of thousands of faxes were left public on unsecured databases, exposing Social Security numbers, bank information, and more sensitive personal information.

With new information about the novel coronavirus seemingly arriving every hour on the hour, it’s perfectly understandable to feel confused and discombobulated. With that in mind, here’s a mantra I’ve held close to my hopefully healthy lungs for almost three months now: The things we think we know about covid-19 are going to keep changing, and that’s okay.

The Dutch Cure for Coronavirus Listlessness: Get Yourself a Seksbuddy

Like nearly every other fully developed organism on the planet, human beings are driven by an instinct to fuck. In fact, a significant portion of the world economy revolves around fucking or the desire to fuck—to the extent some say humans are now becoming desensitized to arousal. But unless you are a lizard in New Mexico or a female sawfish whose species is rapidly approaching extinction, the desire to fuck is probably a powerful motivator for all kinds of behavior that you may not even be aware of.
