iCliniq locked down the online silo earlier this week only after the slip-up was brought to its attention by German security researcher Matthias Gliwka. He approached El Reg after failing to get any response to notification emails he sent to the firm.

iCliniq stored these private medical documents in a misconfigured wide-open AWS S3 bucket that could have been potentially pored over by anyone.

He said iCliniq had failed to check for permissions in its web app so every user was able to see every question asked by other members – simply by guessing the ID number of the question.

"This is in an industry," Quartz reports, "where interns can make over $50 an hour, new grads can get $100,000 signing bonuses, and the average employee makes more than double the national average in the U.S."

Idaho prison officials announced yesterday in a press release that they've identified 364 inmates who have exploited a vulnerability in their prison-issued tablets and have used it to assign nearly $225,000 worth of digital credits to their tablet accounts.

Officials from the Idaho Department of Correction (IDC) said there was no loss of state funds as a result of the hack, as inmates transferred only JPay-managed (fictitious) digital credits to their accounts.

Facebook has shown that it cannot sail forever forward while facing various storms, including Cambridge Analytica and the Russian government's use of the social media platform to sow divisions amongst Americans during the 2016 presidential campaign.

As founder and CEO of Turing, Shkreli bought the rights to the cheap, off-patent drug and—without any generic competitors—abruptly raised its price from $13.50 a pill to $750 a pill in the fall of 2015.

Turing, meanwhile changed its name and tried to distance itself from Shkreli—without lowering Daraprim’s price. In light of the dwindling profits, the company is reportedly considering changing its name once again, this time to “Phoenixus.”

"The router had tunnels that allowed the attackers to gain direct access to the bank’s local network," Group-IB experts said. "This technique is a characteristic of MoneyTaker. This scheme has already been used by this group at least three times while attacking banks with regional branch networks."

On July 3, MoneyTaker used this system to transfer funds from PIR Bank's account at the Bank of Russia to 17 accounts they created in advance. Moments after the stolen funds landed in these accounts, money mules withdrew it from ATMs across Russia.

The firms – Cambridge Analytica, SCL Elections, SCL Group, SCL Commercial, SCL Social and SCL Analytics – were all too heavily associated with the furore surrounding an app that sucked up information on 87 million Facebook users to continue operating. Similarly, Cambridge Analytica US and SCL US both filed for bankruptcy.

The administrators said that the initial plan was to try and sell off the firm, sending an "email taster" to about 18,000 prospective buyers, along with marketing pushes on social media. Sales details were sent out to 13 parties and four offers were received.
