Insider Leak: Former CesiumAstro Executive Reveals Trade Secrets to Up-and-Coming Rival AnySignal

CesiumAstro alleges in a newly filed lawsuit that a former executive disclosed trade secrets and confidential information about sensitive tech, investors, and customers to a competing startup. Austin-based Cesium develops active phased array and software-defined radio systems for spacecraft, missiles, and drones. But the suit says that Luther maintained “personal connections” with AnySignal’s cofounders, having worked with AnySignal CEO John Malsbury previously at a different company. This resulted in AnySignal “recruiting and inducing Luther … to improperly disclose” the confidential and trade secret information, the suit says. The suit was filed in Western District of Texas under no.

Years of personal data leaks: Indian government’s cloud

The Indian government has finally resolved a years-long cybersecurity issue that exposed reams of sensitive data about its citizens. At fault was the Indian government’s cloud service, dubbed S3WaaS, which is billed as a “secure and scalable” system for building and hosting Indian government websites. With evidence of ongoing exposures of private data, Majumder asked TechCrunch for help getting the remaining data secured. Majumder said that some citizens’ sensitive data began spilling online long after he first disclosed the misconfiguration in 2022. The exposed data, Majumder said, potentially puts citizens at risk of identity thefts and scams.

Database leak reveals 2FA codes for global tech giants

The Asian technology and internet company YX International manufactures cellular networking equipment and provides SMS text message routing services. YX International claims to send five million SMS text messages daily. But codes sent over SMS text messages are not as secure as stronger forms of 2FA, such as an app-based code generator, since SMS text messages are prone to interception or exposure — or in this case, leaking from a database onto the open web. TechCrunch found in the exposed database sets of internal email addresses and corresponding passwords associated with YX International, and alerted the company to the spilling database. YX International would not say for how long the database was exposed.
