In addition to dealing with threats designed to take advantage of the war in Ukraine, companies and governments face fresh attacks from new and existing vulnerabilities on many fronts.
CISA added 15 new vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog this week to draw attention to vulnerabilities bad actors are actively exploiting.
These vulnerabilities are a frequent attack vector for malicious cyber attackers and pose significant risk to governments and private companies.
BlackBerry researchers report that the new attack vector targets English speakers and Windows machines.
Armorblox described a new attack this week that takes advantage of people who make this mistake.
The attack targeted a prominent life insurance company in the U.S., according to the blog post about the attack.
