Our Daily Breach cant grammar good
Murdoc messed up and tries his best(?) to make an apology to Epsilon. Then something about Korean data centers and fire.
We managed to publish 50 articles here on 32x33.institute without a single major incident. Before you start clapping or whatever that sound is in the background, we need to be honest with you - we've made a huge mistake. We should have printed a retraction over a year ago but somehow it eluded all of us in this graphic:

The grammatically correct version that should have been:
In the English language, there is an important denotation in that apostrophe character ' after clients , that silly comma floating away from the letter s indicates whose private data is being sold for fun & profit. In this case, the private data of the clients of Epsilon.
Letting grammar mistakes like this make it to print is clearly the only reason they're not messaging me about that director of marketing role. That and I live in Canada and I don't have enough America Online CDs to keep up with all the shit that has been going on in the news lately.
If you came looking for a new breach, sorry to disappoint you friend, but if you feel like reading about an extremely suspicious datacenter fire in South Korea that destroyed 96 government servers, well Phrack has some great news for you.
The theory is that North Korea hacked the LG battery supply chain which is what initiated this datacenter fire. As to why they didn't have backups... I don't know what to tell you. I don't even trust my homelab well enough to not use the 3-2-1 rule.
The good news is that while South Korea seems to believe that there are no backups for all 858TB of data lost in that fire, the rest of the InfoSec world is still giggling to themselves because they know damn well there is a backup copy, it's just north of the DMZ.
