At the start of September, Kawasaki Motors Europe, (KME) was the subject of a cyber-attack which, although not successful, resulted in the company’s servers being temporarily isolated until a strategic recovery plan was initiated later on the same day.
KME and its country Branches operate a large number of servers and, as a precaution, it was decided to isolate each one and put a cleansing process in place whereby all data was checked and any suspicious material identified and dealt with.
Data centres in the UK are to be classified as critical national infrastructure, joining the emergency services, finance and healthcare systems, and energy and water supplies.
It means they would get extra government support during a major incident, such as a cyber attack, an IT outage or extreme weather, in order to minimise disruption.
The arrest of Telegram’s chief executive in France has ignited a debate about moderation on his app.
About nine months ago while researching a story, I found myself added to a large Telegram channel which was focused on selling drugs.
I was then added to one about hacking and then one about stolen credit cards.
I realised my Telegram settings had made it possible for people to add me to their channels without me doing anything. I kept the settings the same to see what would happen.
ESET découvre que le groupe CosmicBeetle s'associe à d'autres gangs de ransomwares et cible des entreprises en France. Tribune ESET. Les chercheurs d'ESET ont mené l’enquête sur ScRansom, un nouveau ransomware développé par le groupe CosmicBeetle. CosmicBeetle a débuté avec les outils Lockbit qui ont fuité. CosmicBeetle est probablement devenu récement un affilié RansomHub ScRansom
Microsoft on Tuesday raised an alarm for in-the-wild exploitation of a critical flaw in Windows Update, warning that attackers are rolling back security fixes on certain versions of its flagship operating system.
We recently performed research that started off "well-intentioned" (or as well-intentioned as we ever are) - to make vulnerabilities in WHOIS clients and how they parse responses from WHOIS servers exploitable in the real world (i.e. without needing to MITM etc).
As part of our research, we discovered that a few years ago the WHOIS server for the .MOBI TLD migrated from whois.dotmobiregistry.net to whois.nic.mobi – and the dotmobiregistry.net domain had been left to expire seemingly in December 2023.
The mysterious Quad7 botnet has evolved its tactics to compromise several brands of Wi-Fi routers and VPN appliances. It’s armed with new backdoors, multiple vulnerabilities, some of which were previously unknown, and new staging servers and clusters, according to a report by Sekoia, a cybersecurity firm.
À l'occasion d'un communiqué de presse publié le 14 août 2024, le Conseil fédéral a approuvé le Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (Swiss-U.S. DPF) et arrêté son en vigueur au 15 septembre 2024. Selon cette décision, les entreprises américaines participant au Swiss-U.S. DPF garantissent un niveau adéquat de protection des données en vertu de la LPD, de sorte que les données personnelles peuvent être transférées aux entreprises américaines participantes sans avoir à conclure de clauses contractuelles types adoptées par la Commission Européenne (SCC) et sans qu'il soit nécessaire de procéder à une analyse d'impact du transfert de données.
Every sysadmin is familiar with Veeam’s enterprise-oriented backup solution, ‘Veeam Backup & Replication’. Unfortunately, so is every ransomware operator, given it's somewhat 'privileged position' in the storage world of most enterprise's networks. There's no point deploying cryptolocker malware on a target unless you can also deny access to backups, and so, this class of attackers absolutely loves to break this particular software.
With so many eyes focussed on it, then, it is no huge surprise that it has a rich history of CVEs. Today, we're going to look at the latest episode - CVE-2024-40711.
Well, that was a complex vulnerability, requiring a lot of code-reading! We’ve successfully shown how multiple bugs can be chained together to gain RCE in a variety of versions of Veeam Backup & Replication.
