University of Berkely In Trouble AGAIN

Started seeing reports from the University of Berkeley again this evening. Specifically 169.229.3.91 which has been observed trying to run shellcode against a rash of servers the last 2 weeks. The activity is very high today. Maybe the "Office of the President" at Berkeley can hire somebody to secure their network. Not that they have ever been breached or anything.

We have a history with reporting on activity at Berkeley. Search our archives for more information.

UPDATE: UC Berkeley Acknowledge Breach

Previously we reported on a list of college systems that were showing up in our OSINT system as being compromised. Earlier today we were notified that an alert was sent to UC Berkeley students and staff advising them of the breach.

Read our previous post here.

This is exactly why we started this blog and we are glad to see that they reported this in such a timely manner.

From the information being provided it appears as though the Real Estate Division is the affected Berkeley entity. They are stating that they first detected the activity in September. Although UC Berkeley is not a customer of ours we are glad that they took action.

About SLC Security

The driving factor in us deciding to provide this service to consumers is the growing cost of cybersecurity defense and notification systems. We are providing an RSS feed of content as a public service. It is our policy to only release the full details of data breach information directly to the companies or entity that was the target of the breach or attack. If you need assistance researching the source of the breach or leak please visit SLC Security Services LLC to obtain assistance.

NOTICE: All information posted to this blog is derived from open source intelligence systems developed by SLC Security Services LLC. The OSINT-X platform is available via subscription and via a paid RSS Feed. The OSINT-X system only maintains 90 days but this timeframe may and will change without notice depending on the amount of data we are processing. We also provide a delayed RSS feed that may not contain all feed sources. The public RSS feed is on this page on the right hand side and is provided without charge. The moderators of this site are all volunteers and are not paid for their services.

If your company needs a TSCM Sweep or Vulnerability assessment feel free to contact us through the contact form on this page or call us at (717) 831-TSCM to schedule an audit.

NOTICE: Starting in January 2015 we will only discuss issues on the blog or in our feeds with the clients directly. We receive upward of 200+ calls per day requesting information. It is impossible for our volunteers to field that number of calls and still get our work done. While we would love to help every person that calls remember we are a for profit business and answering calls takes time. If we are not busy you may get in touch with us. The best approach is to email us at soc@slcsecurity.com instead of calling. Please include your name, telephone number and a brief reason for the call or communication and we will get back to you as soon as possible time permitting.

About this Page

The purpose of this page is to provide awareness to individuals and organizations that are leaking information and the information of their customers. The entities listed on this site are verified to be leaking personal information sometimes without the company even being aware. We will include information on what type of information is being leaked but we will not release the methods in which the information is being leaked unless we are under non-disclosure agreements with the organization. The information posted on this site will contain scrubbed information if we release it to protect the information source and to ensure that the person or persons being affected are not farther harmed by the disclosure of their personal information.

Before a breach is reported it is reported to the entity affected and we normally wait at least 5 days for a response. We only post disclosures whenever there have been no response by the organization or when it involves confirmed leaks or we can verify that the security issue has not been resolved by the organization. Certain items will remain on the blog if they are a major release or new information is being posted frequently concerning the incident.

We do NOT maintain data on the leaked information as we would not want to create a second incident. Reports are submitted by security researchers, patients, clients, corporations and through open source identification as well as through passive monitoring of open source systems and proprietary algorithms.

The information on this site is provided by SLC Security Services LLC a leading cyber security and investigation company located in Raleigh, NC.
