A recently open-sourced network mapping tool called SSH-Snake has been repurposed by threat actors to conduct malicious activities. "SSH-Snake is a self-modifying worm that leverages SSH...
Cybercriminals are targeting iOS users with malware that steals Face ID scans to break into and pilfer money from bank accounts - thought to be a world first. iOS target Android and iOS respectively, tricking users into performing biometric verification checks that are ultimately used to bypass the same checks employed by legitimate banking apps in Vietnam and Thailand - the geographic focus of these ongoing attacks.
This growth's unintended side effect is an ever-expanding attack surface that, coupled with the availability of easily accessible and criminally weaponized generative AI tools, has increased the need for highly secure remote identity verification. "Generative AI has provided a huge boost to threat actors' productivity levels: these tools are relatively low cost, easily accessed, and can be used to create highly convincing synthesized media such as face swaps or other forms of deepfakes that can easily fool the human eye as well as less advanced biometric solutions. This only serves to heighten the need for highly secure remote identity verification," says Andrew Newell, Chief Scientific Officer, iProov.
Ransomware attacks are increasing again as cybercriminals' motivation shifts to data exfiltration, according to Delinea. The familiar tactics of crippling a company and holding it hostage have been replaced by new strategies that use stealth to exfiltrate private and sensitive data.
2024 is shaping up to be a record-breaking year for data breaches, according to Experian.With increased data collection, storage, and movement, there are plenty of partners down the supply chain that could be targeted.

The cryptocurrency market has grown significantly, attracting both enthusiasts and investors. The rise of cryptocurrencies has also brought forth an unprecedented need for cybersecurity measures.
Cybersecurity researchers are warning about an increase in phishing attacks that are capable of draining cryptocurrency wallets. "These threats are unique in their approach, targeting a wide range...
An international law enforcement operation codenamed 'Operation HAECHI IV' has led to the arrest of 3,500 suspects of various lower-tier cybercrimes and seized $300 million in illicit proceeds. 199 million of the seized amounts concern hard currency, and the remaining $101 million corresponds to the value of 367 digital/virtual assets, such as NFTs linked to cybercrime.
Cybercriminals still prefer targeting open remote access products, or like to leverage legitimate remote access tools to hide their malicious actions, according to WatchGuard. "Threat actors continue using different tools and methods in their attack campaigns, making it critical for organizations to keep abreast of the latest tactics to fortify their security strategy," said Corey Nachreiner, chief security officer at WatchGuard.
