DISH Hacked - Websites are BACK ONLINE!

[EatMyVolts]

Perhaps, but my prediction is there will be a class-action lawsuit and after 3-4 years we'll all get $5 while the attorneys make $50 million.

At most we will get a year of a second-rate "identify protection service" for free. Or that's been my experience with other data breaches.

I have several of those still going including the Equifax breach.

I got my $5.21 from Equifax in a virtual debit card that I will most likely never use.

Heaven help the poor b@stard who steals my identity! They'll give it back in a heartbeat. LOL

Oh crap. I went to download my bill and just saw that DISH was hacked.

I made a mistake when I signed up with DISH in 2006. The CSR on the phone who set up my installation asked for my Social Security Number and I gave it to him. Kicking myself, thinking about it now. I hope SSN's weren't part of the information that was stolen. *sigh*

Inside job?

For people worried about paying their bill, they can't shut you off either

Dunno. I saw that the US Marshalls were also attacked and the Dole company of all people.....

These things happen much more often than we know

They aren't targeting people. This isn't corporate espionage. Emails and software scanning everywhere are out in the wild. And if they hook someone, they bury in deep, do their thing, and demand ransom to turn it back on.

Dish's app authentication server seems to be TRYING to come online:

https://identity1.dishnetwork.com/activate

That address is used by apps and services to authenticate subs. It used to just fail, but now it's just timing out after a while.

So…progress?

It's coming back slowly. We had work orders today, not many and have more set for tomorrow - more than today.

It's phony and a joke. Dish didn't make that ad.

Well that answered my question

"Even though Dish Network didn't name the ransomware gang behind the incident, sources have told BleepingComputer that the Black Basta ransomware operation is behind the attack, first breaching Boost Mobile and then the Dish corporate network.

Additionally, multiple sources told BleepingComputer that the attack occurred in the early morning of February 23, with the attackers compromising the company's Windows domain controllers and then encrypting VMware ESXi servers and backups.

BleepingComputer has not been able to independently confirm this information and no ransomware gang has claimed responsibility for the attack.

Dish Network has yet to reply to multiple emails requesting more details regarding the outage and the ransomware attack behind it."

Hmm. Two main things I remember from the 70's................working 90 hour weeks and mini skirts. I'm not up for either these days.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with a mini skirt when it's being worn by the right woman.
