The UK government will publish a plan for handling future cloud outages after last week's AWS failure knocked out several departments. Ian Murray, minister for digital government and data, said that the AWS outage on October 20 affected a number of departments and suppliers, although all services were restored by the evening of that day. "It will take some time to fully understand the scale of the impact. DSIT [the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology] will be gathering a full picture of the impact on government in the coming weeks," he wrote in a parliamentary written answer to Dame Chi Onwurah, Labour MP for Newcastle upon Tyne Central and West DSIT will then "set out a clear approach" for dealing with cybersecurity and resilience incidents in a government cyber action plan it will publish this winter, he added. Errors in AWS's DNS services in Northern Virginia affected many public and private sector sites and apps in the UK and elsewhere, including those run by His Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC). They also affected "smart" internet-connected devices including mattresses, light bulbs, and cat toilets. In response to another parliamentary written question from Onwurah, who shadowed DSIT while Labour was in opposition, Murray said the government reckons that up to 60 percent of its digital estate is hosted on cloud platforms, mostly those run by AWS, Microsoft, and Google.

Post Cabel Sasser ‪@cabel.panic.com‬ @rmondello.com Neven got this email from Portland Public Schools that is relevant to your interests. I'll be thinking about it for a while… Dear PPS community, In recent weeks, we've seen a concerning rise in compromised student accounts. Attackers are gaining access to these accounts and using them to send thousands of phishing and scam emails worldwide. Our investigation shows that many of these breaches result from students reusing passwords across multiple services. Once attackers obtain credentials from other sites, they try them against school accounts with significant success. To better protect student accounts and reduce their value as targets, we are making a change: Students will no longer be able to set up Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) on their Google accounts. Attackers have been exploiting this feature by enabling MFA themselves to strengthen their hold on compromised accounts. By blocking this option, we disrupt their process.
