Surprised to see Telus in the "news" (i.e. el Reg):

> $50k buys you '1,000 unique repositories' that may or may not be
> legit

https://www.theregister.com/2023/02/25/telus_source_code_github_repos/


> In one post, the crook offers 76,000 unique employee emails plus
> "internal information" linked to those staff scraped from Telus' API.
> The price on this dataset is listed as "negotiable," and will only be
> sold to one individual.
> 
> In another post, Seize offers an email database for $7,000 that
> includes every Telus employee's email, a payroll database for $6,000
> with 770 staff records — including the Telus president's info — and
> finally, all of Telus' private source code and GitHub repositories
> including the SIM swap API, for $50,000.


I don't recall this one:

 > In 2020, another Telsus-owned company, Medisys Health Group, was the
 > victim of a ransomware attack during which crooks stole personal
 > information belonging to about 60,000 clients.
 >
 > That incident hit about 5 percent of the company's customers, and
 > included names, contact information, provincial health numbers, and
 > test results. Financial information and social insurance numbers were
 > not stolen in the attack, the company said at the time.

Anyone recall that?
