Industry 4.0 has brought about a metamorphosis in the world of business. The new revolution demands the integration of physical, biological and digital systems under one roof. Related: Fake news leveraged in presidential election. Such a transformation however, comes with its own set of risks. Misleading information has emerged as one of the leading cyber risks in our society, affecting political leaders, nations, and people’s lives, with the COVID-19 pandemic having only made it worse.
Security experts weigh in on the value and pitfalls of extended detection and response (XDR), offering consideration and advice on this growing new category.
Researchers detailed the multi-millionaire market of zero-day exploits, a parallel economy that is fueling the threat landscape. Zero-day exploits are essential weapons in the arsenal of nation-state actors and cybercrime groups. The increased demand for exploits is fueling a millionaire market where these malicious codes are incredibly expensive. Researchers from Digital Shadows published an interesting research titled “ Vulnerability Intelligence: Do you know where your flaws are?

Download the full report today to see how AI is being used — and where go-to-market professionals think there are gaps and opportunities.
One of the more common ways cybercriminals cash out access to bank accounts involves draining the victim’s funds via Zelle , a “peer-to-peer” (P2P) payment service used by many financial institutions that allows customers to quickly send cash to friends and family. Naturally, a great deal of phishing schemes that precede these bank account takeovers begin with a spoofed text message from the target’s bank warning about a suspicious Zelle transfer.

I received email from two people who told me that Microsoft Edge enabled synching without warning or consent, which means that Microsoft sucked up all of their bookmarks. Of course they can turn synching off, but it’s too late. Has this happened to anyone else, or was this user error of some sort? If this is real, can some reporter write about it?

How encryption can help address Cloud misconfiguration. divya. Tue, 11/16/2021 - 06:15. Cloud service providers (CSPs) try to make it simple and easy for their users to comply with data privacy regulations and mandates. Still, as all of us who work in technology know, you reduce access to granular controls when you simplify a process. On the flip side, if you allow access to granular controls, the person setting the controls needs to be an expert to set them correctly.
Threat actors hacked email servers of the FBI to distribute spam email impersonating FBI warnings of fake cyberattacks.

A payload is a piece of code that executes when hackers exploit a vulnerability. In other words, it’s an exploit module. It’s usually composed of a few commands that will run on the targeted operating system (e.g., key-loggers) to steal data and other malicious acts. Most operations use payloads, but there are a few payload-less attacks, such as phishing campaigns that do not include malicious links or malware , but rely on more sophisticated deception such as spoofing to trick their targets.
