Daily Tech News 18 June 2021

Top Story

If you're one of the 3.3 million people whose data was potentially exposed in the Audi / Volkswagen breach you can stop worrying and start panicking. (Bleeping Computer)

Your data is now for sale at disreputable online stores everywhere.

Anime of the day is the postpostapocalyptic travel diary of two potatoes and a Kettenkrad known as Girls' Last Tour from 2017. It's a beautiful and uplifting adventure story through a landscape that looks as if the Ostfront dragged on for another forty years or so. The truth, we slowly learn, is more complicated than that, but no prettier.

I do recommend it, but be prepared for... Well, just be prepared.

Tech News

Chrome has fixed its seventh actively-exploited vulnerability for the year. (Bleeping Computer)

That's not actually that bad given the complexity of modern browsers. The attack surface is huge. And I'm not sure where to start on paring back that complexity, so I can't complain too much.
Carnival was hit with multiple ransomware attacks. (Bleeping Computer)

One last August that we knew about, and another in December that they are still cleaning up.
The pandemic panic didn't help. (ZDNet)

Moving millions of workers out of the office and into their own homes essentially overnight left vulnerable access gateways and cloud servers strewn all over the landscape. As in, hundreds of thousands of insecure corporate servers connected to the internet.
A Ukrainian ransomware gang has actually been arrested. (NBC)

Unlike the Russian ones, who just seem to quietly cease activities with no decline in the overall rate of attacks.
AMD has a new high-end liquid cooled version of their Radeon 6900 XT. (WCCFTech)

It's only a minor bump over the specs of the existing cards, but water cooling is nice to have if you need a computer that is both fast and quiet.
You can't buy it. (Tom's Hardware)

Because of course you can't.
