I am curious to know what happened in 2012 that all these breaches occurred. I assume they are holding the data, and trying to squeeze what they can out of it all the way through. However this year there seems to have been a lot of massive breaches that year. does it all stem from one hack? 200m Yahoo accounts could lead to at least a few million LinkedIn accounts I would assume, maybe not as many as was actually compromised in the LinkedIn breach, but still.
I just want to know if the same exploits were used in all of these instances. Or maybe they have just found backups for all these companies this year from 2012 and are using those. I don't even how that would happen.
This is something I am trying out. Basically working on a series of articles about some fundamental IT concepts and things to consider when implementing these sort of things from an IT pro POV.
It might have been a limitation on my services or a misconfig on my part, but I have my ghost instance crash a couple of times, and was unable to recover it. I love the interface, but haven't reinstalled it until I could test it on another hosting platform. I think it is a quick and simple way to get setup and start blogging.
