SecurityWeek: The sanctioned individuals are both Egyptian nationals. One of them is Mu’min Al-Mawji Mahmud Salim, the creator of a platform named Electronic Horizons Foundation (EHF), which provides cybersecurity training and guidance to ISIS supporters.
Security Brief: The annual cost of recouping from cyber crime for businesses can reach as much as $5 million, according to a new Cybernomics 101 report from Barracuda Networks, a leading provider of cloud-first security solutions.
CPO Magazine: To many, the new SEC rules that require public companies to disclose “material” cybersecurity incidents within four days of determining their materiality may seem like a challenging, if not unreasonable, demand.
Forbes: In an increasingly digital work world, companies across industries collect and manage sensitive data. And just as companies are finding new and sophisticated ways to leverage that data, hackers are finding new and sophisticated ways to breach cyber defenses.
Dark Reading: In a new filing with the US Southern District Court of New York, SolarWinds argued that the Securities and Exchange Commission was outside of its depth of expertise as well as its scope of authority in charging SolarWinds and its chief information security officer with mishandling the now-infamous, 2020, Russian-backed cyber espionage attack on its Orion platform.
CSO Online: It is as if a light went on within the Canadian government this month as it took steps to tighten control over the risk presented by China, Russia, and Iran to sensitive research being funded by the federal government.
The Target: Popular hardware cryptocurrency wallet vendor Trezor
The Take: A subset of 66,000 users who have interacted with Trezor Support since December 2021 may have had their names or usernames, and email addresses exposed to an unauthorized party.
The Vector: Trezor has already confirmed 41 cases where exposed data has been exploited, with the attackers approaching users to trick them into giving away their recovery seeds - a string of words that contain all the information required for gaining access to a wallet.
As phishing actors continue to explore every potential abuse opportunity on legitimate service providers, novel security gaps constantly threaten to expose users to severe risks. It is essential not to rely solely on email protection solutions, and also scrutinize every email that lands on your inbox, look for inconsistencies, and double-check all claims made in those messages.
Forbes: Of all the headlines in 2023, perhaps none captured our collective imagination last year like the high-profile AI breakthroughs typified by ChatGPT.
PR Newswire: M|C Partners, a digital infrastructure and tech services private equity firm, has made a strategic growth investment in Consortium Networks, a national cybersecurity organization.
