ZDNet: Phishing attacks remain a huge problem and crooks are spending a lot of time and effort to ensure that, for the potential victim, clicking on a bad link is the most intuitive and easiest thing to do.
Reuters: Facebook Inc did not notify the more than 530 million users whose details were obtained through the misuse of a feature before 2019 and recently made public in a database, and does not currently have plans to do so, a company spokesman said.
Compliance Week: The report, “Trends in Cybersecurity Breach Disclosures,” was released and analyzes public company disclosures of cyber-breaches since 2011. According to the report, the 117 breaches that were disclosed in 2020 represents a 19 percent drop from 2019 (144). Still, it is the third highest figure in a single year, behind 2019 and 2018 (130). The number had gone up each year since a dip to 50 in 2015.
Dark Reading: Phishing attacks are targeting out-of-work users on LinkedIn, creating lures using job titles scraped from the targeted workers' profiles in an attempt to convince them to open and execute different malicious files or links, according to a new analysis from cybersecurity firm eSentire.
Dark Reading: Firmware attacks targeting enterprises are up over the past two years. However, most victims are too preoccupied with patches and upgrades to invest resources into preventing them.
Institutional Asset Manager: The survey showed that just over a third of those responding to the survey have suffered a breach in the last twelve months, with almost half of such breaches reported to the Information Commissioners Office.
Yahoo Finance: Researcher John Kindervag published a paper about a decade ago that argued administrators of sensitive computer networks shouldn’t trust anyone on their networks, regardless of their title.
ZDNet: Cyber criminals are sending over three billion emails a day as part of phishing attacks designed to look like they come from trusted senders.
IT Web: It goes without saying that the COVID-19 pandemic has been the driver of a massive increase in remote working. This can, in many ways, be viewed as a win-win situation for companies and staff. After all, employees save commuting time while enjoying added flexibility and greater productivity. Meanwhile, organisations reduce both costs and turnover rates.
Cision: Infosys, a global leader in next-generation digital services and consulting, and Interbrand, a global brand consultancy firm, today revealed that the potential risk in brand value of a data breach to the world's 100 most valuable brands could amount to as much as $223b, according to a joint cybersecurity and brand value impact report launched.
