Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

SoundCloud detected unauthorized access to an internal dashboard, triggering incident response and outside forensics support. Attackers accessed email addresses and public-profile data for roughly 20 percent of users, but no passwords or financial information. The company also faced web-only DDoS attacks, and later configuration changes accidentally disrupted some VPN users, sparking false rumors that SoundCloud was banning VPN access.
