Fraud & Cybersecurity

Experts from cybersecurity software company ESET announced the discovery of a dangerous and unprecedented type of malware they call NGate. To launch this attack, scammers deploy phishing techniques to embed the malware on the victim's mobile device.

"The victim is tricked into thinking that they are communicating with a bank and that their device is compromised, after which they download and install the malware. In fact, the victim had previously unknowingly compromised his Android device by downloading and installing an app from a link in a misleading SMS message about a possible tax return. ... Once installed and opened, NGate displays a fake website and requests the user's banking information, which is then sent to the attacker's server."

Some of the information requested by the NGate banking malware includes the victim's date of birth, bank customer ID, and bank card PIN code. Once installed and opened, the NGate malware prompts the victim to activate the Near Field Communication (NFC) function on the mobile device.

"The victim is then instructed to place their payment card on the back of their phone until the malicious app recognizes the card. Behind the scenes, NFC data from the victim's bank card is sent through a server to the attacker's Android device. Essentially, this allows the attacker to mimic the victim's bank card on their own device. This means that the attacker can use this cloned card data on the Android device to make payments or withdraw money from ATMs that use NFC... This is the first time we've seen Android malware with this functionality in the wild."

If the attackers fail to complete the ATM transaction, they plan to transfer funds from the victim's bank account to another account as a fallback. Read more

FBI Issues Urgent Ransomware Attack Warning—Do These 3 Things Now

Davey Winder (Forbes)

As of February 2024, organizations are warning that a new ransomware group is carrying out hundreds of successful cyber attacks. In an urgent joint advisory released on August 29, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, along with the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Administration, confirmed that organizations in nearly every potential industry sector have been targeted by the RansomHub ransomware-as-a-service actors.

RansomHub absorbed well-known criminals from other groups. Formerly known by names like Cyclops and Knight, Ransomhub appears to have taken off, attracting criminals from well-known ransomware groups like Alphav and Lockbit, attracting the attention of law enforcement agencies that attack their activities.

"We have to acknowledge the fact that Alphav ransomware is written in Rust and Ransomhub is written in Golang," said Raj Samani, chief scientist at Rapid7. But Samani added that Ransomhub's rise "also coincides with law enforcement creating decryption keys to keep Lockbit at bay. It shows again that dealing with one criminal enterprise inevitably leads to another entering the ransomware field."

According to the FBI, RansomHub, which employs a double exfiltration technique of encrypted and extruded data, has successfully targeted at least 210 organizations. Cybercriminal victims span industry sectors including information technology, government agencies, healthcare, finance, transportation, and even emergency services. The group is believed to be responsible for both the UnitedHealth Group ransomware attack and the attack on oil and gas company Halliburton. Read more

The Biggest Data Breaches In 2024: 1 Billion Stolen Records And Rising

Zach Whitaker, Technology Crisis

Thank you UnitedHealth, Snowflake, and AT& amp; AM? T (2nd Time)

We're just about halfway through 2024, but this year has already seen some of the largest and most costly data breaches in recent history. And just when you thought some of these hacks couldn't get any worse, they have.

From vast amounts of personal customer information being imputed, stolen, and published online to medical data covering most of the U. S. population being stolen, the worst data breaches so far in 2024 have already exceeded at least a billion records and growing. These data breaches not only irreparably impact the individuals whose data was exposed, but also empower criminals to use malicious cyber intrusions.

Take a journey with us to the not-too-distant past to examine how some of 2024’s biggest security incidents were derailed, their impact, and in some cases, how they could have been prevented.

At & amp; amp; T; T; T; 2024 was a very bad year for data security for At & amp; amp. t's "almost all" customers and many no n-customers; T. AT & amp; AMP of telecommunications giant?

In July, AT & AMP; AMP? T said that cyber criminals were 6 months in 2022, and in some cases, the company's customers' "almost all members", about 110 million telephone numbers and call records. He announced that he had stolen the hidden data memory. The data was not stolen directly from AT & amp; amp? T, but was stolen from a data giant SnowFlake account (details will be described later). read more

‘Time-Travelling’ Software Could Bankrupt Hackers

News Week Magazine Hugh Cameron

A major hig h-tech company has announced that it has developed a stat e-o f-th e-art data storage system that can "go back to the past" data taken hostage by hackers.

IoniR provides a new standard for data services and data management in the world of hybrids and mult i-clouds in a clou d-based data service platform that has offices in New York and Tel Aviv.

In an interview with the National Security News, Ionir CEO Jacob Cherian uses malware and restricts access to user data unless it responds to the attacker's request. He talked about its own method to prevent.

According to the cyber criminal investigation agencies, CyberseCurity Ventures, this kind of attack caused victims to about $ 265 billion a year by 2031, and the attack on individuals or organizations would occur on average every two seconds.

Such tricks have already suffered significant damage, and in 2021, a colonial pipeline attack aimed at the largest petroleum pipeline system in the United States.

The attack was forced to stop the pipeline for six days while trying to restore computer systems that were affected by the company, and made President Joe Biden declared 17 states. During this time, regulations on drivers carry gasoline and other fuel have been alleviated. read more

  New Password Hacking Warning for Gmail, Facebook, and Amazon Users

  Davey Winder (Forbes)

  On August 29, the details of the fishing campaign using an attack method, which is particularly difficult to detect, was updated.

  A new threat analysis by Kaspersky researchers revealed that the password theft attack aimed at Amazon, Facebook, and especially Google users has increased. There is something to know here.

  It is not surprising that Amazon, Facebook, and Gmail are very targeted by malicious hackers with password hackers Gmail, Facebook, and Amazon's account information. After all, these accounts may be used to complete the thre e-sized thre e-sized piles of data theft, malware distribution, and credit card fraud. Google accounts, in particular, are like a key skeleton that can release other account authentication information and personal information treasures for fraud. Even if you just consider the information included in the Gmail receiving tray, it is highly possible, given how the free we b-based e-mail service is popular. And it's a story before thinking about how many organizations are sending a password change request and tw o-factor authentication link to your email account.

  Kaspersky has analyzed 25 of the world's most popular brands in order to identify the brands that are most targeted by cyber criminals regarding phishing attacks. According to Kaspersky, in the first half of 2024, about 26 million vicious websites were attempted. This is an increase of about 40 % compared to the same period in 2023.

  Google's phishing attacks are at the top of 243%increase in phishing targets for Google for the reason. Google is immovable in cyber attack radar in attempt to stolen passwords and other passwords. According to Kaspersky, the first six months of 2024 have been trying to attack 243 %, and about 4 million attempts have been blocked by Kaspersky's security solution. read more

  National Public Data Published Its Own Passwords

  Cleves on security

  The information leakage of the consumer data broker, NATIONAL PUBLIC DATA (NPD), revealed that hundreds of millions of American social security numbers, addresses, and phone numbers leaked on the net. Krebsonsecurity reveals that another NPD data broker, which shares access to the same consumer record, has inadvertently published its backend database password as a free available file from the homepage. did.

  In April, a cyber site called USDOD started selling data stolen from NPD. Among them, more than 272 million names, addresses, telephone numbers, and in some cases email addresses were included.

  The NPD acknowledged the invasion on August 12 and said it would go back to the security incident in December 2023. In a last week's interview, USDOD accused the company's outflow in July, claiming that it had been running around underground since December 2023, because of another malicious hacker accessed to the company's database.

  After last week's article on the scope of information leakage of NPD, one reader hosts a file containing the site administrator's user name and password in Krebss Internsecurity, the NPD's sister property. I warned.

  This morning (August 19), I checked this file that was available from the record check website just before it was published, and found that the appearance is similar to the NationalPublicdata. com, and there are various recordscheck. net, which has the same login page. It turned out that it contains the source code of the component, the username and password of the plain text.

  Ransomware Gang Targets Google Chrome Users in Surprise New Threat Twist

  Davey Winder (Forbes)

  Updated information on ransomware threats by Sophos X-OPS.

  Russi a-related Cyber ​​Crime Group QILIN, which is thought to have caused confusion in several hospitals in the United Kingdom in June, was saved in Google Chrome Browser as a new development on the threat of ransomware attacks. I captured the authentication information.

  Ransomware is not only a lon g-standing threat to the organization, but also a more and more expensive threat, but QILIN is a relatively new player of a troublesome cyber game. QILIN, a crime activity of Ransomware As A Service, is known until October 2022. Researchers on the Sophos X-OPS team have recently analyzed recent attacks by QILIN operators and discovered a new and unusual trick, such as "taking bonuses on the confusion that is already in the ransomware situation." This trick is to steal the authentication information from the Google Chrome browser on the subset of the victim's network endpoint at the same time, expanding the potential range of attacks other than the initial target.

  Sophos X-OPS TEAM QILIN's analysis analysis analyzed an attack on Sofos researchers in July 2024 after the London Hospital case, but the victim's name has not been published. What we currently know is that QILIN has used the leaked authentication information to access the VPN gateway that is not protected by multifaceted authentication. It is highly likely that these authentication information was obtained through the original access broker (a threat actor who pursued this method that accesses the ransomware group through the dark market). After the first access, the original access broker commissioned theory has been reinforced due to the inactive period of 18 days. read more

  Major Backdoor in Millions of RFID Cards Allows Instant Cloning

  Ryan Naraine, Security Week magazine

  A serious backdoor on a no n-contact card manufactured by Shanghai Fudan Fudan Microelectronics in China instantly creates a clone of the RFID card used to open office doors and hotel rooms around the world. 。

  French security service company QUARKSLAB has a remarkable discovery that millions of no n-contact cards manufactured by the Shanghai Shanghai Shanghai Electroma Group, a major chip manufacturer in China, have a serious backdoor.

  This backdoor, which is recorded in a research paper by QUARKSLAB's researcher PHILIPPE TEUWEN, allows you to instantly create a clone of the RFID smart card used to open office doors and hotel rooms around the world. Will be. This backdoor requires only a few minutes to be physically close to a card affected by the attack, but an attacker who can perform a supply chain attack instantly has such an attack. Teuwen explains in a paper (PDF) that it can be executed.

  Teuwen has found a backdoor while conducting security experiments for the Mifare Classic Card family, which is widely introduced in public transportation and hospitality. The Mifare Classic Card family released by Philips (now NXP Semiconductors) in 1994 has been widely used and has been attacked for many years.

  Car d-only "Attack (access to cards is required, but no access to corresponding card leaders is required) is a security vulnerability, just for a few minutes from the attacker for a few minutes. You can make and write and write the contents of the cards. For many years, a new version of the Mifare Classic family has defined various types of attacks written by security researchers. read more

  What is a continuous surface attack invasion test (CASPT)? Continuous penetration test (Continuous Attack Surface PenetRation Testing) is a category to identify security. Continued and automated woven digital assets This is an advanced security method that includes services that continuously test in invasion. CASPT is designed for companies with evolving attack surfaces, which are no longer sufficient in regular fiv e-year cycles. Unlike conventional penetration tests, which are often implemented once a year or once every six months, CASPT is a continuous process that is directly incorporated into software development life cycle (SDLC) and is found in real time or almost real time. Guarantee that you will be dealt with.

  CASPT is a proactive security measure designed to go ahead of potential attackers by constantly evaluating the security system of the organization. As a result, the security team identifies important entry points that may be abused by the attacker, verify the effectiveness of existing security management, and changes newly introduced code and infrastructure. You can avoid new vulnerabilities. Users can run the bassline test to share changes in vulnerabilities related to all assets or new updates, and provide roadmaps to the Pentagon Team when the changes are identified.

  CASPT is similar to the conventional penetration test, but there is a clear difference from the Continuous Attack (Continuous ATTACK) Surface Penetration Testing.

  CASPT is not a on e-time evaluation. The conventional invasion test is a regular on e-time evaluation that is usually conducted. However, CASPT is a continuous process, and tests are performed on a continuous or frequently scheduled base. Read more

  Unlocking the Front Door: Phishing Emails Remain a Top Cyber Threat Despite MFA

  Arne Arnold, PC World

  If your ransom request is suddenly displayed on the computer screen, your computer is at risk. But computer attacks are not always so dramatic and clear.

  In a case that is not very noticeable, you need more delicate and appropriate expertise. The quickest measure is to run Quick Scan in the antivirus program. If the tool detects parasites, the problem will be solved. However, virus measures may not necessarily detect malicious code. Still, the operation of Windows is strange. In such a case, it is necessary to observe the symptoms well.

  1. Slow program or system response to symptoms: Sudden slowness in the system's operation. Slow program startup. 100% CPU usage (see investigation section below).

  The exact cause There are several harmless causes of 100% CPU usage. Usually, a legitimate program is simply working on a computationally intensive task. This could be video compression or complex image management tasks. On older computers, even HD video playback leads to high CPU load.

  The second harmless feature is a bug in Windows 10, already several years old. Windows 10 Task Manager shows a 100% load even though the CPU is not working that much. The third cause (but not so harmless) is a bug in a program or a Windows tool that claims maximum CPU power. Read more

    SECURITYWEEK has heard from Abnormal Security CISO Mike Britton that the company has learned about the current social engineering and fishing attacks.

    It is easier to use the front door key than forcing the back window. And the key can be obtained very easily by making almost requests by attacking the user's email reception tray.

    According to Abnormal's e-mail threat analysis in the first half of 2024, e-mail attacks increased by nearly 50 % from the second half of 2023 to the first half of 2024 (from 139 to 208 per 1, 000 mailboxes).

    The basis of this analysis (PDF) is due to the remote measurement of Abnormal. Abnormal has about 2, 400 customers worldwide, with a wide variety of industries. Abnormal analyzes the caught threats to understand the type of attack, and the results are normalized into thousands of mailboxes.

    SecurityWeek spoke with Mike Britton, CISO at Abnormal Security, about what the "human behavior security" company has learned about current social engineering and phishing attacks.

    The first question is: why doesn't MFA, a core security recommendation, prevent successful phishing? "There are known attacks against MFA, including MFA fatigue attacks, session attacks, and MitM attacks. But I think the bigger problem is that very few organizations, especially of any size, consistently enforce 100% MFA on 100% of their accounts.

    Hackers Can Wirelessly Watch Your Display Via HDMI Radiation

    MFA should be a minimum standard, but it's not a silver bullet. It doesn't stop all attacks. It doesn't stop social engineering attacks. It doesn't stop counterfeit money attacks. It's pretty effective against credential phishing in most cases, but it's not 100%. Read more

    Relying on traditional password security measures is no longer enough. To protect your organization from credential-based attacks, it's important to get the basics down first. Securing your Active Directory service is like making sure the front door to your house is locked before investing in a high-tech alarm system. Once you've got the basics down, integrating external attack surface management (EASM) can significantly improve password security and provide a solid shield against potential cyber threats and breaches.

    Securing Active Directory Directory Services First IT Administrators should not just enforce minimum standards for password policies, including complexity commands. Improving the security of the Active Directory directory service requires enforcing policies that prohibit users from creating weak passwords and incorporating tools that detect leaked passwords and block their use. Also, add solutions that control the use of leaked passwords. Using tools like Specops Password Policy can help enforce strong password practices and identify password-related vulnerabilities. This is essential for defending against credential-based attacks and other risks, such as password reuse. Once these basics are covered, EASM tools can further strengthen security.

    What is EASM and how does it work? EASM solutions start by identifying and cataloging all of an organization's publicly accessible digital assets, including both known and unknown assets. The EASM tool then scans these assets for vulnerabilities and examines their configurations to identify potential security risks. It then prioritizes these vulnerabilities based on the severity of the vulnerabilities and the organization's unique situation, allowing IT teams to address the most important issues first.

    Surge In Magniber Ransomware Attacks Impact Home Users Worldwide

    Information security (infosec) and cybersecurity are often confused because they overlap in many ways. In fact, cybersecurity is a subset of information security. However, the two fields are not exactly the same, and each has a distinct area of ​​expertise and requires a different skill set.

    Even within the infosec and cybersecurity communities, the distinction between these terms is hotly debated and can be fuzzy. Many people use "information security" and "cybersecurity" interchangeably. However, understanding the definitions of these terms found in textbooks can help you better understand how the fields compare and interact.

    Information Security and Cybersecurity The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) recognizes information security and cybersecurity as separate career fields. However, there is certainly some overlap between the two. Below are some basic definitions and distinctions between each.

    What is information security? According to NIST, the primary function of information security is to protect information and information systems from unauthorized access and misuse. Misuse, as defined by NIST, includes the destruction, modification, or disclosure of data, and the destruction of information systems. Read more

        • CrowdStrike is facing lawsuits from investors and customers after an incident that caused a global blackout, but some believe the company is likely protected by legal action.
          • On July 19, CrowdStrike pushed back a rogue update that was not properly tested, causing approximately 8. 5 million Windows devices worldwide to enter a blue screen of death (BSOD) loop. The incident caused problems for organizations in sectors such as aviation, finance, healthcare, and education, and most devices took about a week to recover.

          Insurance company Parametrix estimates direct financial losses to Fortune 500 companies excluding Microsoft at $5. 4 billion, with total losses estimated at $15 billion. Parametrix believes that only 10 to 20 percent of losses suffered by its Fortune 500 customers will be covered by insurance.

          Airlines suffered the biggest losses, averaging $143 million, according to a report by Parametrix. One airline, Delta, was particularly hard hit, struggling for days to recover from the disruption caused by the CrowdStrike update. CNBC reported Monday that Delta had hired a high-profile attorney to seek damages from both CrowdStrike and Microsoft. It's estimated that the outage cost Delta between $350 million and $500 million.

          Apple users are being targeted by a new wave of phishing attacks dubbed "MFA bombardment," which is based on user impatience and a bug in Apple's password reset mechanism. Phishing attacks often rely on users providing information or doing something to their account to the attacker through email, text message, or other messaging medium. A recently discovered phishing attack exploited Apple's password reset system to trick victims with a new route.

          The attack, called "MFA bombing," "MFA fatigue," or "push bombing," was analyzed by Krebs for Security and is a sophisticated phishing attack that exploits a bug in the password reset feature. Victims are inundated with "reset password" notifications, including the text "Use this iPhone to reset your Apple ID password" and the option to allow or deny the request.

          The notification is real. It is usually only displayed to users once when they try to reset their Apple ID password, as a type of multi-factor authentication for iPhones, Macs, iPads, and Apple Watches.

          The problem with this attack is that the attacker bombards the target with so many notifications. Hopefully, the user will randomly choose to allow instead of not, or get annoyed by the flood of notifications that they choose to allow and then stop. Read more

          AT & Amp; Amp? T revealed on Friday that the company's wireless network customers were affected by most of the wireless network customers. According to the company, in April, hackers entered a recording of calls and text messages with customers from May 1 to October 31, 2022 and January 2, 2023. The data was on the cloud platform of the third party of AT & amp; amp? T.

          The company explains that the leaked record will identify other telephone numbers that influenced the interaction with customers, such as calls, text messages, and calling time. There was no effect on calls and text messages, time stamps, and other important personal information.

          "Data does not include customer names, but there are many ways to find names related to telephone numbers using the generally published online tools," said AT & AMP; AMP?

          Opinion that suggests a new challenge for many years of BSA/AML regulations

          Kristen E. Larson, John Calohene, Alan Caprinsky & amp; amp; Peter D.

          On July 1, 2024, the Supreme Court ruled in Corner Post, Inc. v. The Court is determining when a Section 702 claim challenging a final agency action arises under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). In a 6-3 opinion, the Court agreed with Corner Post, holding that a right of action first arises when a plaintiff has standing to assert it in court, which, under the APA, is when the plaintiff is harmed by the final agency action.

          The decision could open floodgate litigation for new entrants to challenge long-standing agency rules. Such challenges to the APA will be further strengthened by the Supreme Court's recent tilt toward a Chevron opinion that empowered courts to interpret statutes without deferring to agency interpretations.

          This development concerns potential challenges to anti-money laundering ("AML") regulations issued under the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA) or other statutory programs by the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, the Federal Functioning Regulatory Authority, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and FINRA. Many of the BSA/AML regulations were issued many years ago. Historically, litigation challenges to BSA/AML regulations have been rare. Given the combined impact of recent Supreme Court decisions, this may change.

          Background The case concerns Corner Post, Inc., a convenience store franchisee that opened its trucking business in 2018. In 2021, Corner Post sued the Federal Reserve seeking to invalidate Regulation II, which the Federal Reserve put in place 10 years ago to cover interchange fees charged by debit card issuers. Without prevailing on the merits of the complaint, the federal district court dismissed the case as a temporary disposition and held that the six-year limitation period for enforcing a person's APA claim (28 U. S. C. § 2401(a)) begins to run from the time the final rule is issued. Read more

          The king is dead. Let the king live. CyberNews researchers have discovered what appears to be the largest password collection with 9. 948. 575. 739 unique passwords. The data file, titled Rockyou2024. txt, was posted on July 4 by forum user Obamacare.

          The user signed up at the end of May 2024, but has previously shared an employee database for law firm Simmons & Simmons, leads for online casino askgamblers, and student applications for Rowan University in Burlington County.

          The team broke down the passwords in the Rockyou2024 leak with data from CyberNews' password audit leaks, revealing that these passwords came from a mix of old and new data breaches.

          "At the heart of the Rockyou2024 leak is a collection of real-world passwords used by individuals around the world. Revealing so many passwords for threat actors significantly increases the risk of credential preparation attacks," the researchers said. Read more

          Hackers are exploiting vulnerabilities in the Modern Events Calendar plugin, which exists on more than 150. 000 websites, to upload arbitrary files to vulnerable sites and execute code remotely. The plugin was developed by Webnus and is used to organize and manage in-person, virtual or hybrid events.

          The vulnerability exploited in this attack has been identified as CVE-2024-5441 and has a high isolation score (CVSS v3. 1: 8. 8). The vulnerability was discovered and responsibly reported by Friderika Baranyai on May 20th during the WordFence Bug Bounty Extravaganza.

          In a report explaining the security issue, WordFence said that the security issue stems from a lack of file type validation in the plugin's "set_featured_image" function used to upload and set images for events. The function takes the URL and email ID of the image, tries to get the ID of the attachment, and if not found, downloads the image using the GET_WEB_PAGE function.

          It retrieves the image using the WP_REMOTE_GET or File_Get_Contents function, and saves it to the WordPress Uploads directory using the File_Put_Contents function. The latest Event Calendar versions up to 7. 11. 0 do not have an extension file type check for uploaded image files, so any file type can be uploaded, including . php files. Read more

            Dalla s-based Frontier Communications was attacked by cyber data in April and faced at least six collective lawsuits. With this extensive attack, more than 750, 000 customers (PII) were stolen by Ransomhub by Ransomware Criminal Group. Nearly 90, 000 of them are Texas people.

            Three of these litigation were caused earlier in the northern Texas state this month, accused of not providing appropriate protection and maintenance of network systems and databases. The plaintiffs have stated that the plaintiffs and other victims have become more likely to be theft. One lawsuit argues that "Frontier had or should have known that its electronic record was targeted by cyber criminals."

            Frontier sensed the attack on April 14, pointing out the abnormal movement of the internal network by the IT department. According to Ransomhub, Frontier had ignored the contact group for nearly two months. The contact seems to have requested a ransom payment in exchange for the stolen data. After ignoring the demand and did not respond, the crime group released the stolen data. The data contained name, date of birth, social security number, address, and other personal information.

            Frontier announced in May that he was a victim of cyber attacks in the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The SEC disclosure rules require companies to report cyber incidents within four business days. read more

            In many cases, cyber attacks are caused by the deficiencies of cyber hygiene ... basic things ... Fortunately, there are four simple things that we all can do to protect ourselves and other people:

            Use a powerful password. A "powerful" password means at least 16 characters, random, and is unique for each account. Use a password manager that automatically creates, saves, and inputs passwords.

            Enable mult i-factor authentication (MFA). When logging in to an account or app, MFA provides additional security layers in addition to passwords, code from authentication apps, or code sent to mobile phones. Especially for accounts that provide MFAs, such as email, social media, and financial accounts.

            If you have any update notifications from software update devices, applications, and software programs, install them as soon as possible. Updates fix security risks to protect our data better. Turn on the automatic update to make it easier.

            Identify and report phishing. Let's learn how to download malware (malicious software) or to provide criminals with personal information. If the offer is too good, it may be social engineering. If the message is warned and needs urgent action, it may be a phishing message. Don't click, don't interact, report fishing and delete your message.

            CISA has performed these steps and provides a variety of free resources to spread information to friends and family. CISA's new cyber security awareness improvement program "Secure Our World" provides many resources to improve online safety, such as short videos describing the above four steps and 10 hint sheets in 10 languages.

            Seasons of Fraud: How Fraud Patterns Shift Throughout the Year

            Hackers are trying to sell Santandale's 30 million bank account information for $ 2 million.

            Earlier this month, Santandale confirmed that some of the data of customers and employees had leaked due to data leakage on a thir d-party provider.

            Currently, a post to the Hacking Forum has offered to sell treasure trove of data, including 30 million bank account information. 28 million credit card numbers, 6 million account numbers and balance, and human resources information of 200, 000 employees in banks.

            The asking is $ 2 million (about 200 million yen): "Santander is also welcome if you want to buy this data. SHINYHUNTERS's hackers are also responsible for attacking the ticket master. They have previously been a telecommunications company at & amp;

            But experts have urged caution, suggesting the Ticketmaster sale may have been a ploy to draw attention to a new hacking forum replacing one that police had removed, according to the BBC.

            In a statement about the attack two weeks ago, Santander said it had accessed a banking database hosted by a third party. It said the breach affected operations in Spain, Chile and Uruguay.

            1. May was a month to remember for Google Chrome and its 2 billion desktop users. Four zero-days and emergency alerts in less than 10 days created a wave of impossible-to-miss wall-to-wall headlines.

            Intellicheck Posts Record Quarter as Identity Fraud Continues to Run Rampant

            The US government has warned federal government employees to install the May emergency updates or stop using Chrome. The first of these updates was due on June 3rd and the second on June 6th. The June 3rd deadline has passed, so the first update should already be applied. This is a timely reminder that you should ensure that you apply the second update within the next 72 hours. It is clear that updating your browser will apply all the fixes at this point.

            Other organizations should do the same and ensure that their employees are compliant, as should individual users. There is a reason why Google quickly made a correction. The US government warning was announced through the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency, which added the May Chrome warning to its list of known exploited vulnerabilities (KEV), which details "vulnerabilities that are being exploited in the wild."

            June 3rd seemed to be a big day for Chrome. Not only is this the day the US government update was first dropped, but it's also the day Google started to pull the plug on some apparent V2 enhancements as the Vane V3 rollout takes shape.

            While this will affect many developers and businesses, the headlines have focused on the negative impact on ad blockers. There is a risk that users who read these headlines will delay browser updates to prevent ad blocking issues. Security updates are very important. Read more

            Positive Pay: An Underused Tool for Fighting Check Fraud

            The US Department of Justice (DoJ) announced on the 2nd that it has dismantled what it describes as "possibly the world's largest botnet." The botnet consisted of an army of 19 million infected devices that were rented out to other threat actors to commit a wide range of crimes.

            The botnet was deployed globally in over 190 countries and operated as a home-based proxy service known as 911 S5. YunHe Wang, a 35-year-old Chinese national, was arrested in Singapore on May 24, 2024 for creating and acting as the primary administrator of the illegal platform from 2014 to July 2022.

            Wang is charged with conspiracy to commit computer fraud, substantial computer fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering. If convicted on all counts, Wang faces a maximum sentence of 65 years in prison.

            The Department of Justice said the botnet was used to carry out cyber attacks, financial fraud, identity theft, child exploitation, harassment, bomb threats, and export violations.

            May 10 , 2024 : Fraud and Cybersecurity Articles

            • Wang was identified as the owner of 911 S5 by security journalist Brian Krebs in July 2022, and the service was subsequently abruptly shut down on July 28, 2022, citing a data breach of its core components.
            • The service was resurrected under a different name, CloudRouter, a few months later, but was shut down last weekend, according to Spur, Riley Kilmer, co-founder of the cybersecurity company, told Krebs. Read more

            Google's new AI search suddenly brings up a nasty menu of dangerous malware and scams.

            Well, this is awkward. As the world waits for the transition from traditional search to newer, shinier, more exciting AI-powered search alternatives, it looks like the first update of the traps is not what we expected and has gone horribly wrong.

            Google wants to "supercharge search with genetic AI" and has unveiled its new SGE (Genetic Experience Search) to give users an early taste of how this more powerful, contextual mechanism will transform boring old search results.

            Of course, the thing about genetic AI is that the dangers come disguised in kind, friendly, chatty language that we haven't yet built up defenses against.

            Google told Bleping Computer, "We continue to update our advanced anti-spam systems to keep SPAM out of searches, and we use these anti-spam protections to protect SGEs." It also confirmed that it "took action consistent with our policies to remove common examples that appeared for unusual queries." We have reached out to Google for further comment on these issues.

            In January 2024, Ashley Beauchamp made the DPD chatbot "deceived". Chatbot tells how bad the DPD service is, a haiku that slanders the owner:

From June to September 2023, they conducted a public online challenge to find out if chatbots can jail breaks with direct engineering and how easy they can do. The results have been published and have just been analyzed, but they are not safe. Over 34. 500 participants have completed the challenge of obtaining confidential information from an impressive lab chatbot (ILGPT) set at a 1 0-step protection level. By collecting and analyzing direct engineering initiatives, the company was able to measure the psychology of direct engineering and the security of chatbots.

            First, you need to understand chatbots. Chatbots are generally located on one of the most common Gen-AI systems, the most common Chatgpt. Immersive Labs test chat bot uses Chatgpt 3. 5.

Inquiries from the user are passed to Chatgpt via chatbot and are processed there (the customer data acquired in this way is not added to Chatgpt's reinforced training data).

            Theoretically, the user's inquiry and chatbot response are protected by additional chatbot protection and guidelines applied by Chatgpt's guardrail and chatbot developers.
