Breaking news: ShinyHunters, a group of hackers, exploits an Oracle vulnerability to wreak havoc on schools worldwide. Who needs secure data when you can have a good grade in cybersecurity 101? 🤣 #CybersecurityFail #OracleVulnerability

It's a dark day for education 🚨 Summer classes canceled at Evanston Township HS due to a ransomware attack. Paying hackers to restore data is a priority over learning. 💸 The school's backup plan? Online tutorials... of cat videos 🐈 #RansomwareThreats #CybersecurityFail

**" FBI Director Kash Patel’s personal Gmail hacked by Iran-linked Handala group — old photos, emails & resume from 2010-2019 leaked. No FBI systems breached. No classified data. But America’s top cop had years of personal stuff sitting in a basic Gmail that got compromised? If the FBI Director can’t keep his own inbox secure, what does that say about cyber hygiene at the highest level? (The viral ‘dancing video’? Fake — unrelated 2022 meme clip.) #KashPatelHacked #IranHack #HandalaHack #FBI #CyberSecurityFail #Phishing #NationalSecurity"**

Hackers hijack US radio for fake emergency alerts—gov’t drops the ball on cyber security! Low-wage workers/immigrants face chaos, while Europe invests in protections. This ain’t glitches—it’s neglect of the vulnerable. #CyberSecurityFail #ProtectThePeople reuters.com/world/us/fcc-say…

@elonmusk Wow indeed! 'Louvre' as a password? That's like leaving the Mona Lisa's door unlocked. Time to upgrade to something like 'MuskRocks2025' 😂 #LouvreHeist #CyberSecurityFail

As a cybersecurity expert, I'm not stunned—sadly, this is a pattern of inept security practices. A 2014 ANSSI audit flagged the laughably weak password "LOUVRE" for the surveillance system (and "THALES" for their software!). Where was the follow-up? YEARS of ignored warnings, no patches, no upgrades, stuck on Windows 2000 post-2010, when security updates ended. Why no update? Likely budget cuts, prioritizing other departments over IT, or an app tied to that ancient OS, common excuses I've heard on countless engagements. Clients swear "our systems are all updated," only for me to find some forgotten box running an outdated OS because it powers a niche app they didn't want to update, couldn't (vendor dropped support), or wouldn't (too cheap to invest since it "just works"). Fast-forward to the Oct 18, 2025 heist: €88-100M Napoleonic jewels stolen from the Denon Wing (Mona Lisa's home). Initial reports? Only ONE camera monitored the gallery, NONE on the entry balcony. Disabled by slick thieves, or just gross neglect? Either way, pros disguised as workers waltzed in. This isn't security; it's an open door. Companies must prioritize cybersecurity NOW, before more "art" walks off. #LouvreHeist #CyberSecurityFail #ArtTheft

🚨 The St. Paul #cyberattack exposed another public safety failure under @GovTimWalz. From neglecting law enforcement to ignoring cybersecurity, when will Minnesotans have enough failure? Instead of wasting an $18B surplus, Walz should’ve prioritized securing our electronic infrastructure. Thank you @MNNationalGuard & the 177th Cyber Team for stepping up and leading, protecting and serving. #LeadershipMatters #CyberSecurityFail #WakeUpWalz #2026IsComing

Wow, talk about a major oopsie! Hey @Apple, @Google, @Facebook, and @Telegram... y'all alright over there? Might want to change those passwords to something a bit stronger than '123456'. Just saying! 😜 #CyberSecurityFail

When your secure app gets hacked but you still send the group chat drama to the wrong person TeleMessage, the "super secret" app used by Trump’s ex-adviser Mike Waltz, got breached! Hackers spilled the tea —and now the app’s on a timeout. Maybe they should’ve used carrier pigeons instead? #CybersecurityFail #TrumpAppOops

📷 Κυβερνοασφάλεια Made in Greece: "Σουρωτήρι Α.Ε. - Όχι καινοτομία, διαρροή!" Ξοδέψαμε πάνω από 650 εκατ. Ευρώ από ΕΕ σε "έργα κυβερνοασφάλειας", "εθνικά SOC" και "πλατφόρμες προστασίας". Τι πήραμε πίσω; 📷 Το ψηφιακό σουρωτήρι. 📷 ΕΦΚΑ (2023): Χτυπήθηκε από ransomware. Το μεγαλύτερο ταμείο της χώρας έγινε όμηρος hackers — και το κράτος... παρατηρητής. 📷 ΕΑΠ – Ελληνικό Ανοικτό Πανεπιστήμιο (2024): Διαρροή φοιτητικών δεδομένων, emails, κωδικών και προσωπικών στοιχείων. Εκπαίδευση 2.0: Όποιος hacker προλάβει! 📷 ΕΕΤΑΑ (2025): ΑΜΚΑ, IBAN, οικογενειακά στοιχεία, πεταμένα σε server σαν διαφημιστικό έντυπο. 📷 Κεντρικό Λιμεναρχείο Ραφήνας (2025): Προσωπικά δεδομένα στελεχών και πολιτών στο δρόμο. Και συνεχίζουμε ακάθεκτοι… 📷 Την ίδια ώρα, υπουργεία και φορείς φωτογραφίζονται δίπλα σε «ψηφιακά έργα», με φόντο... PowerPoint. 📷 Θωρακίσαμε τη χώρα... στις παρουσιάσεις. 📷 Μήνυμα προς "ειδικούς": Δεν μπορείτε να προστατεύσετε ούτε το... φάκελο στο desktop, πόσο μάλλον τη χώρα. Φτάνει με τη σπατάλη και τα ψηφιακά φαντάσματα των εκατομμυρίων. Όσο "ψηφιοποιείτε", τόσο περισσότερο εκθέτετε εμάς. #CyberSecurityFail #ΨηφιακόΣουρωτήρι #MadeInGreece

Oracle running critical login servers last updated in **2014**?! Are you KIDDING ME? They basically GIFTED hackers access via a KNOWN vulnerability (CVE-2021-35587). 6 MILLION records stolen. 140,000 tenants exposed. This isn't a hack, it's gross negligence on a staggering scale. How does this even happen?! Full details: cloudsek.com/blog/the-bigges… #OracleBreach #CyberSecurityFail
