Booz Allen Hamilton scheint Datenreichtum zu haben
A cache of more than 60,000 files was discovered last week on a publicly accessible Amazon server, including passwords to a US government system containing sensitive information, and the security credentials of a lead senior engineer at Booz Allen Hamilton, one of the nation’s top intelligence and defense contractors. What’s more, the roughly 28GB of data contained at least a half dozen unencrypted passwords belonging to government contractors with Top Secret Facility Clearance.
The exposed credentials could potentially grant their holders further access to repositories housing similarly sensitive government data.
Countless references are made in the leaked files to the US National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), which in March awarded Booz Allen an $86 million defense contract. Often referred to as the Pentagon’s “mapmakers,” the combat support agency works alongside the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Reconnaissance Office, and the Defense Intelligence Agency to collect and analyze geospatial data gathered by spy satellites and aerial drones.
Den Bericht gibt's hier. Bin gespannt, wo die Daten dann wieder aufpoppen. Booz Allen Hamilton ist der Privatgeheimdienst, der die ganze Welt überwacht, und bei dem auch Edward Snowden gearbeitet hatte.
