      XPost: alt.comp.os.windows-10, alt.privacy.anon-server, comp.os.linux.advocacy       From: nobody@dizum.com              Several public websites designed to allow courts across the United States       and Canada to manage the personal information of potential jurors had a       simple security flaw that easily exposed their sensitive data, including       names and home addresses, TechCrunch has exclusively learned.              A security researcher, who asked not to be named for this story, contacted       TechCrunch with details of the easy-to-exploit vulnerability, and       identified at least a dozen juror websites made by government software       maker Tyler Technologies that appear to be vulnerable, given that they run       on the same platform.              The sites are all over the country, including California, Illinois,       Michigan, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia.              * * *              This is not the first time Tyler left sensitive personal data exposed on       the internet. In 2023, a security researcher found that, due to a separate       security flaw, some U.S. online court record systems exposed sealed,       confidential, and sensitive data, such as witness lists and testimony,       mental health evaluations, detailed allegations of abuse, and corporate       trade secrets.              In that case, Tyler fixed vulnerabilities in its Case Management System       Plus product, which was used across the state of Georgia.              Two other government technology providers were exposing data in that case:       Catalis, through its CMS360 product, a system used across several U.S.       states; and Henschen & Associates, through its CaseLook court record       system, used in Ohio.              https://techcrunch.com/2025/11/26/bug-in-jury-systems-used-by-several-us-       states-exposed-sensitive-personal-data/              * * *              Tyler Technologies Ransomware Attack: $1.5M In Lost Revenue                     Government software and IT service provider Tyler Technologies ($TYL) lost       about $1.5 million in services revenue because of a ransomware attack in       September, the company disclosed in its Q3 2020 earnings report on       November 4.              MSSP Alert first reported details about the Tyler Technologies ransomware       attack on September 25. After the attack, Tyler Technologies warned that       some of its customers had reported suspicious logins, Reuters notes.              Tyler hired third-party cybersecurity investigators to assist with the       recovery efforts, though the government software provider did not disclose       digital forensics firm(s) by name or any specific MSSP (managed security       services provider) engagements.              Tyler provides software services for everything from jail and court       management systems to payroll, human resources, tax and bill collection       and land records, the Associated Press notes. Amid the attack, Tyler was       quick to point out that none of its products are a system of record for       voting or election-related activities.              https://www.msspalert.com/news/tyler-technologies-recovery-details              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
