Krebs on Security has posted a new item.
The U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS) said Monday that taxpayers are no longer required to provide facial scans to create an account online at irs.gov. In lieu of providing biometric data, taxpayers can now opt for a live video interview with ID.me, the privately-held Virginia company that runs the agency’s identity proofing system. The IRS also said any biometric data already shared with ID.me would be permanently deleted over the next few weeks, and any biometric data provided for new signups will be destroyed after an account is created.

Virtual Event: Man x Machine, A fireside chat with Andy Jones, former CISO for Maersk
In this exclusive event hosted by ExtraHop, Andy Jones, former Global CISO at Maersk, will join former Symantec CTO, Hugh Thompson, to provide an intimate look at one of the most damaging cyber attacks in history––with lessons today’s security leaders can draw on to combat a new class of advanced threats.
On June 27, 2017, Danish shipping company Maersk, responsible for over 15% of the world’s shipping supply, became the highest-profile victim of what remains one of the costliest cyber attacks in history. Thanks to a single server in Ghana that was offline as the attack spread, the team at Maersk was able to pull off one of the most stunning feats of IT recovery in history. Over the course of 10 days, they re-imaged 4,000 servers, 45,000 PCs, and reinstalled 2,500 applications to restore their operations and keep the global supply chain intact.
