ALS Global gets a free security audit

The testers at ALS Global have successfully failed their own security inspection, courtesy of the Aurora ransomware group. This little mishap exposed sensitive employee credentials, passport scans, and proprietary research files to anyone with an internet connection. If you are one of their international specialists, your identity is now likely being traded on some digital bargain bin. Protecting ourselves from this flavor of incompetence requires locking down internal systems and verifying credentials before some ransomware gang does it for us.
