Remember July 20th, 2015?

There would be a lot to talk about if I was feeling better, 

but I'm not. 

This Post is a fan favorite from July 20th, 

2015. 

Since I wrote this Post, 

rumor has it that the Lizard Squad is slowly reorganizing, 

soon to be a force once again.

The Lizard Squad 

A little information for the novice out there using  the wonderful World of Cyber Space. 

One of the English Speaking,  

most are in Russian,  
infamous Hacking Forums, 

Darkode, 

was recently forced offline.

It was used by a group which called themselves  
"The Lizard Squad."

Not exclusively, 

other 
Cyber Criminals 
were allowed inside, 

but they were the most notable group.

It was dismantled by Authorities from 20 different Countries from around the World.

It's just the tip of the Iceberg.

Hacking is a World all its own 

and nothing can't be Hacked with the right knowledge 

and enough time spent.

A challenge for some 

and greed for most.

Three days ago 4.5 million medical accounts were 

Hacked 

at 

UCLA Health.

They run fours hospitals in the University's Campuses, 

and drug retailer, 

CVS Health.

I'm personally upset about this one.

  I don't have any records there, 

but about 15 years ago, 

UCLA Health 

flew in a Specialist to my local hospital 

and he performed surgery on my daughter, 

which saved her life.

I have a soft spot in my heart for them. 

Ten hours ago, 

the 

"Ashley Madison Infidelity Website" 

had their customer data stolen.

Do you think any Rich, 

Married, 

Individuals, 

are sweating it out right now waiting for that 

Blackmail 

email to come in?

Ashley Madison 

has 37 million users from 50 different Countries.

That's a lot of infidelity.

The biggest 

Hack 

that I personally know of, is the October 2013, 

breach of 153 million 

Adobe 

accounts.

There has been a couple of really foolish 

and funny 

Hacks.

This last January, 

of 2015, 

the hacker collective known as "The Lizard Squad,"

I mentioned them before,

created a DDoS service by the name of 

"Lizard Stresser" 

which could be procured to mount attacks against online targets. Shortly thereafter, 

the service  

suffered a data breach 

which resulted in the public disclosure of over 13 thousand user accounts, including passwords, 

stored in plain text. This started 

"The Lizard Squads" 

downfall. Follow the

Look under Archives, 

January 2015. If you want to know if your information has been put out there in Cyber Space 

for criminals to use, I have two websites you can go to, 

to find out. There might be more, 

let me know, 

but these are the two I have used.  
haveibeenpwned.com
pwnedlist.com
They are easy to use 

and you'll get peace of mind if you haven't had your information stolen.  
Or, 

you'll be pissed off 

and wonder why didn't anyone ever tell you,  
You've Been Hacked!

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
 
Like what you are reading, 

and no, 

I won't teach you how to Hack,
or don't like what you see.
