A message from a good friend who, nicely, er um did one thing massive.
One thing we’ve needed to do for years is share the censored ID’s and Passport photographs (leaked from clients, and employees alike) that got here off DJI AWS leak, however it’s SOOO exhausting to do manually, and I’m simply now getting sufficient compute energy to censor giant chunks, it’s simply so time consuming. As soon as accomplished all of them must be spot checked once more anyway. Additionally AI is terrible with brown of us faces… simply gonna put that on the market.
Um… additionally I simply ran throughout somebody I personally know, that I missed earlier than!
This story from final evening is wild! I made a decision to let NVIDIA AI course of among the ID’s and Passports collected in the course of the 2017 DJI AWS dump. Every single day of us ask me for “proof”, or “proof” of improper doing, or “privateness”, and “safety” points. I assumed I’d take one final stab at proliferating info by sharing censored ID’s and Passports because it was U.S. Home of Representatives CCP Drone Act / NDAA eve, and all.
I used to be NOT ready to seek out David Kovar‘s younger face staring again at me as I checked an error in my code. (The pink is what my code missed in censoring). There was a bit “C Kovar” peeking out between black field redactions. I used to be like “HOLY CRAP! There’s solely ONE C Kovar on this earth that may be on this”.
Rapidly checking the uncooked picture revealed a good friend smiling again at me. I instantly picked up the telephone.
Me: <texts David> (no reply)
Me: <calls David>
Me: “uhh sorry that is actually necessary”… “the place did you reside from 2009 – 2013” (actually hoping you’d say ‘small city USA’)
David: “small city USA”
Me: “Are you able to inform me the precise avenue you lived on” (actually hoping you’d say ‘<course><avenue identify>’
David: “<course><avenue identify>”
Me: Jaw hits ground
Proper now we are attempting to find out if David Kovar ever obtained the breach notification in any respect. I’ve emailed help.privateness@dji.com to ask examine, and Jason Cao has graciously provided to do his greatest to place us (actually David!) in contact with the correct folks.
For David particularly, this will additionally require contacting Illinois Legal professional Normal’s Workplace to see if they’ve file of DJI informing them of a seaside to their residents knowledge. https://lnkd.in/gvTTBsVQ
Likewise When you’ve got any suspicion of being compromised within the 2017 leak, however by no means received a letter, I counsel you instantly attain out to DJI help employees, or your native Legal professional Normal’s workplace.
Be secure on the market!
