Scottish Govt Suffers Potentially Widening Data Breach at Prosecutor's Office
- Scottland's prosecutor's office sprung a leak, and the third-party vendor behind it may have touched other agencies too — so assume the blast radius is "yes." Classic supply-chain OPSEC failure: someone outsourced the locks and forgot to check who held the key. Who gets hurt? Citizens whose case data just became someone else's hash manifest, plus every agency that shared that vendor's unsealed cargo. Serious readers: audit your third-party access logs today, not next quarter. Revoke stale credentials. Demand proof-of-delivery seals on every data handoff. If your vendor can't explain their own perimeter, stop kidding yourself. We're threadbare out here, but threadbare is no excuse for sloppy cargo. Check the seals. Delivery signature applied.
