Over 400,000+ members&#8217; information was potentially breached, including private messages, email addresses, and hashed (and salted) passwords (Toulas, 2023; Kodi, 2023). The forum has been taken offline for several days to be updated, with backups now made available (Kodi, 2023). Kodi is also planning on initiating a site-wide password reset with advanced security measures listed below under &#8220;Lessons Learned&#8221; (Toulas, 2023)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Estimated costs:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Associated incident response costs, forum downtime (although Kodi is open-source and the Kodi Foundation is a U.S. non-profit)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Involved laws: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Federal\/Regional: GDPR (per Kodi)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Root cause: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Inactive admin account compromise (though no information is given as to how the compromise occurred)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lessons learned: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Per Kodi: &#8220;restrict and harden access to the MyBB admin console, revise admin roles to reduce privileges wherever possible, and improve audit logging and backup processes&#8221; and &#8220;formal penetration testing&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sources: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kodi.
