So if we can't get news from CNN or from Rob Monster. Where can we get the latest on the Epik hack fallout? NP seems like a pretty good source.
Well, Twitter has always been the main source where things around the Epik data breach get published, announced, and analyzed, but it is spread over many accounts. It is not immediately easy for the layman to estimate which sources are reliable. Some new Twitter accounts that publish about the data breach are just one month old and have valuable information. On the darkweb, Epik is discussed as well.
The established leaders (influencers) in the infosec community with a large reach, are also starting to delve into this, mainly because this case is fairly unique and high-profile, with cybersec, APT and politics involved. They have previously been analyzing C2 infrastructures and now see puzzle pieces coming together. Epik seems to play a central role in this ecosystem. Data from the Epik leaks is combined with other investigative sources like data from
ICIJ, in order to map the relations (including financial) between Epik and other domestic and foreign parties.
On this forum, we just see more
structure and additional insights that may help Epik customers and other stakeholders to further understand what seems to be going on at the company, and how they can
protect themselves now they are vulnerable.
Some people in this thread have already mentioned that they are in contact with CNN. It looks like CNN Cyber Security Reporter Sean Lyngaas
(snlyngaas) is now delving into this. Other journalists, from left to right, have also published about the data breach, but the enormous amount of data has to be interpreted carefully before final conclusions can be drawn.
