CISA Admin Leaked AWS GovCloud Keys on Github

Until this past weekend, a contractor for the Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) maintained a public GitHub repository that exposed credentials to several highly privileged AWS GovCloud accounts and a large number of internal CISA systems.

Shutterstock Inc. will pay $35 million to settle Federal Trade Commission allegations that the online digital photo and video platform illegally made tens of millions of dollars from a range of unfair and deceptive practices, including charging consumers for products without their informed consent and making it difficult to cancel subscriptions. “Subscription and negative option features can be beneficial for both companies and consumers, making renewal simpler and streamlining payment processes,” said Christopher Mufarrige, Director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection. “But these bene…
