TheOgaBoss: I did that from the beginning when I told u that is not what it is built for( read aws documentation on s3) even gave u examples of big companies using it ( I mean huge tech companies like Netflix and others with thousands of in-house developers) and how they use it. S3 is not built for storing sensitive data because that level of security was not built into it from the ground up, as a matter of fact do you know that many of the assets stored in s3 can be assessed through their URI, just as you access a web page through the url?
I just checked that out after reading your comments here,thanks for the clarification,am not a data center guy,but learning more of it lately.
At this point I will doubt the supposed hackers, at worst our country can't be that susceptible to such design flaws judging by many fine tech guys we are blessed with.
TheOgaBoss: oga I give up, but a word of advise if you are a developer and you ainterview for any tech position don't ever take this position you are taking now, so mean if I give u a bank system to build now you will seriously put their data in an s3 bucket? Nawao.
You're mixing things up bro,this is a simple argument for learning sake. You haven't pointed out exactly why s3 is a no no of choice for storage. The crux of the matter still on porosity/flaws of the security design of the project in the first place. Sorry if I bother you.
TheOgaBoss: s3 is mainly for storage as you said, but mainly for large files like videos, pictures etc that may not be efficiently stores in a database, that is why a lot of streaming sites use it to store large files. Also sites use it to store static assets like css files and images. But when you need to store sensitive data like bank info, bio metric( like the type collected by nimc) or nin (equivalent of social security no in USA) you look for a highly secure database with strong encryption.
Agreed because of its scalability,but storage is storage, security and encryption is a function of who designed the project, who implement it,who maintained it.
All this boils down to the tech guys manning such job at the agency. Nothing is secure until its secured.
You have your preconceived opinions already and it is obvious by this your statement
So because they have deals, that means the serialized models of DoD's CHESS AI system and all others will be stored on s3? Bros be objective or else adios.
CSTRR: I remember when some clowns said pantami went to Robert Gordon university in Scotland.
Robert Gordon come and carry your product, abeg. He has no concept of basic cyber security or pentration testing.
Its our collective fault,to make sure people who knows their job are saddled with same responsibilities . We all have to do something and it starts with our resolve to choose rightly.
Enceladus: Conclude what? Who said they hacked s3? Where did you read that?
1. My point is why is data that deals with National security stored outside Nigeria and even outside Africa? 2. Why is the data stored on s3 and not in a more secure vault? Do you imagine the US SSA storing Social security numbers on s3 ? cc Golan007
All your points are valid and I can't argue any of those either. Am thinking that even the agency themselves seem not trust any providers in Nigeria or have something to hide by engaging a foreign partner in such assignment. Am confused honestly
Golan007: Even if you think Nigerian agencies are full of idiots, for them to have utilised the cloud tells you there was thought put to it.
As someone said, carelessness or social engineering may have been the kink used.
Yeah I said it in my earlier post,majority of the time social engineering attacks are the most common for hackers to exploit, hackers aren't invisible as we think. They're our families and neighbors too.
Data was stolen from a sector of gas distribution companies here is the state in 2021 and the hackers were paid in millions of dollars after they brag about it. He really doesn't know what he's saying
Exactly the point am making, even if they use redshift and no proper IAM control there will still be a breach . Security is the issue here. I little crack is enough for them to be exposed by an hacker.
Enceladus: The location of the data centre does matter for National security reasons.
I know that in the US, there are some sectors or applications you might build where the data must be 100% stored in the US according to the law. I got to know this in a training with AWS cloud.
You're very right and current too,am also having alot of training on cloud computing especially AWS but I do not want to limit my knowledge on Amazon products alone, just a specialty. Back to what you said above you are very right I agree with you � I learned that recently too
TheOgaBoss: oga that is not what s3 is designed for, granted it has some level of security and access controll but when you are talking of such sensitive data as this it is not secure enough.
I agree with you,but S3 is primarily for storage, and access to whatever is stored in that bucket is still a bone of contention. Thats my point. If there's any other functions specific about S3 bucket am willing to learn from you.
TheOgaBoss: from the article they are using Amazon aws. The article was making reference to s3 buckets, who stores sensitive data in s3 buckets? If that is correct then they handlers of our data must be very dumb
Anyone can store anything in S3 bucket but the questions we should ask is who and who's is granted access and what type of security groups are applied. AWS have given various options depending on clients need and affordability. BWT internet is public space its never secured ,you need more of privacy and advance security to stay secured there. Its an endless possibilities of happening mennn things are bleeped up in this country
Golan007: He claimed S3 so they are on AWS Servers.
It shouldn't matter if they are on premise or in the cloud.
If the right protocols are followed, access should only be top-level.
Exactly what am thinking too, who and who's is granted access to the bucket containing such a sensitive data,and other part of the console? This is a serious breach if its true. I know for sure AWS end,can't be compromised but the clients end (naija) am not sure who and what security or identity access management was applied . It could be man in the middle or social engineering cos this might be sabotage from within too. Such a confused lots
Am not surprised at all. I have been very reluctant all this while, I don't trust this government and his minions, especially that ISA PATA-NLA ( BIG PANTS).
Johnpele: Sugar daddy Seen Tattooing SIDE CHIC’s Name Mirriam on His Chest.
An elderly man has chosen to express his love for his side chic in an unexpected and unusual manner for someone his age.
He was captured in a video lying down while the tattoo artist inked the girl’s name, Mariam on his chest.
The man was smiling like a teenage boy in love while being tattooed and the girl watched with keen interest. They both held hands throughout the entire process.
Oluromantic: What kind of job can one do in the US without work permit. I mean if one comes on a 6-month visit
You can always apply for a visa that allows you to work temporarily during your short stay rather than jeopardizing your chances when being caught. Its illegal to work with a visit visa
oladiddy: My wife and I have been married for over 3 years now with a beautiful daughter who is 2years plus but things are falling apart everyday.
Whenever we had arguments she will want to sabotage my job. Couple of months ago, we had an argument and I was to give update to my team via teams meeting (I work from home)..My wife keep raising her voice, I left the living room and went to bedroom lock the door behind to continue with my meeting but surprisingly to me, my wife went through the window and started the drama again.
Just yesterday there was another drama and she picked my phone unknowingly and call my overall boss.
Note: it is from this job am sponsoring her Masters in one of the centers in Uniport and also feeding the family. More than 70% of my monthly earnings goes to her. I am not a social person..I don't drink and either spend lavishly.
My wife is a very proud person and she has this obvious non challant attitude which are all seen by family members. Everybody keep talking about her but she's not changing. Although I have my own differences as well but she believe I can't control her. She's not submissive at all...I can say that over again and again.
Even while she's doing her masters, I was the one taking care of my daughter at home (thanks to covid)..in fact all my team members knows my daughter as my second colleague. I believe we all know how working from home with kids is like.
Please I need your advice. I am already thinking of divorce but the fear of loosing my daughter to her custody is my biggest challenge.
I am loosing my mind.
Please push to FP!
Kick her out before you do something stupid after loosing your mind.
You need your peace and you can coparenting together in peace too. My pennies
Optimistic4life: Year 2021 February to be precise, my husband served me a divorce notice. Though I saw it coming as we have been separated for some months. The case is still in court though.
We are blessed with 3 kids under 10.
Soon the divorce will be finalized and we will both move on.
How easy is it adjusting to a new life as a divorced lady?
I just want to let it out as I have never discussed this with anyone. Just my immediate family members knows about it.
What is life like out there for me?
The shame, mockery, coping with kids alone, moving on etc
No shame ,no mockery and you will adjust to life as time goes on. Its your life and you should not be worried about the immediate society but how to enjoy your day as it comes.

MufasaLion: Who told you it was about money? And who told you they don't have money or they only have fake accents?
You had better change the circle of friends you have.

NovesaTillie: Good morning and merry Christmas everyone.
Please I'm in dilemma and really need some good advice. This guy and I have been on this relationship thing for 5 months now with occasional misunderstandings here and there. The first one was because he visited me and refused to go after the time he said he would leave, when he finally left I got back home from work only for the security to call me that I have a visitor at the main gate and behold it was him. I allowed him stay the night because he's a nice guy, really good in bed and also helps in the house to do stuff like wash the dishes and cooking.
Fast forward to December 15th we agreed he comes over and we spend the Christmas at my place then go to his place from 27th so we can enjoy the new year there. As we agreed, he came to my place on 17th of December and has not made any moves to leave or for us to go to his place. I am moved to create this thread because I got home from work yesterday and noticed more of his things have been arranged in the wardrobe with his shoes arranged by the front door..
Please how do I address this? I can't go on like this. He eats a lot. Snores also. Is relationship not supposed to be the other way around why is he moving into my apartment like I'm going to marry him We both stay in Abuja.
Mods please kindly move to Frontpage.
You were looking for Bleep/ house boy and now that you have one . You start complaining, so why can't you visit him first .deal with it ooooo cos we're not there when he was digging you real good
