Today Sunday 9th September 2018 I attended the annual Grampian Motorcycle Convention held at Alford Grampian Transport Museum .
I enjoy these events, always hundreds of bikes on display , some vintage, classic and current models , well organised and catering for the crowds that attend.
The weather was excellent ,I spoke to many bikers all sharing their love for the bike they had on display , many had 2 or 3 that they owned , however as usual the best part for was capturing all the motorcycles in the parking area, driven to the event by enthusiasts and owners with a love for their chosen Suzuki, Yamaha,Kawasaki ,Triumph etc.
I captured 400 bikes at the convention today , I do not have the time to list their details etc , hence please feel free to comment on any individual bike that you recognise , meantime I will slowly though surely add as much information as I can when I find time .
Cybercriminals have reportedly targeted Harley-Davidson during the Christmas season, with RedHotCyber (RHC) indicating that over 66,000 customer records might have been exposed.
The attack is reportedly linked to the 888 group, which is said to have shared a sample of the compromised data on an online forum. According to RHC, the data sample reveals customer information that could only have been obtained from the company’s internal IT systems or from a third-party vendor.
While both of those previous incidents involved employee data, the breach at Harley-Davidson carries heightened significance, primarily due to the nature of the information compromised, which pertains to customers rather than employees, and the scale of the breach.
The specific details of the compromised data have not yet been disclosed. In fact, Harley-Davidson has not confirmed that the data theft has occurred. However, RHC suggests that such an attack could reveal names, addresses, and possibly details related to the customers’ motorcycle purchases. This is particularly concerning as Harley-Davidson operates not just as a motorcycle and apparel manufacturer, but also provides financial services, meaning customers’ sensitive financial information could also be at risk.
