Coin mechanism on the supermarket trolley: When I go to dock it and get my £1 back the key goes in but the coin tray wont open nor will the key come back out. :mad:


Anyhow I carry a small screwdriver in my bumbag so I took delight in the gratuitous destruction of said tray mechanism to retrieve my coin. It wont do that again. :D

Capita - hope they get the arse sued out of them if this leak leads to people being defrauded.

I just received an email from one of my Pension providers.

Dear Hugh

We wrote to you recently to advise that some of your personal information was held on Capita computer servers accessed by hackers earlier this year.

We use Capita’s technology platform (xxxxxxxx) to support our in-house pension administration processes and have been liaising closely with the company over the course of its forensic investigations.

We are proactively engaging with Capita in respect of their ongoing investigations into their cyber incident, but we understand the USS data concerned was contained in files generated by them from the main xxxxxxxx system, and held separately on their servers, to facilitate operational processes.

Capita have identified from their investigations that personal data was “exfiltrated” (i.e., accessed and/or copied) by the hackers. The information accessed includes your title, initial(s), and name, your date of birth, your National Insurance number, your xxxx member number and your retirement date.

Capita confirm that they have taken extensive steps to recover and secure the data as well as monitoring the dark web to confirm that data compromised as a result of this incident is not circulating more widely.

We very much regret that this has happened. We are committed to supporting you.

To help you to monitor your personal information for certain signs of potential identity theft, you have been given free access to a 12-month membership to Identity Plus, a monitoring service provided by Experian – one of the UK’s leading Credit Reference agencies.
Capita are a bunch of cowboys.

How can they possibly recover the data? That is more than enough info to steal your ID

Capita must have their fingers in a lot of pies. My run in with them sucks too

Ahah

If your personal data have not been fully harvested from USS, then join Experian's Identity plus. They are hacked on a regular basis (at least once a year)

https://krebsonsecurity.com/2023/01/...asted-47-days/

https://www.hackread.com/experian-vu...redit-reports/

etc. This way, you will make sure that the hackers have a full and up-to-date set of your personal data.

On a serious note, USS's planning tools (when you login in "my USS") are faulty (inaccurate, useless, do not work). They are currently working in fixing them but curiously they have not been withdrawn.

Update: I forced them to withdraw them. Log in and see

BlackBasta (the hackers that stole the data from Capita, the IT provider of USS) published (in April) a section of the file on their Tor site "Basta news" but they deleted it few hours later. Speculation is that Capita (no comment/denial from them) or somebody else bought the file back.
