In a recent development, Russian hackers have declared their intention to launch cyberattacks on the European financial system within the next 48 hours. The announcement was made late on Wednesday, June 14 and came through a video threat posted on the Mash Telegram channel, a very popular channel for Russian news. This operation appears to be a collaborative effort between the hacking groups KillNet, REvil, and Anonymous Sudan.

On June 14th, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC) along with its international cybersecurity partners released an advisory calling out the various indicators of compromise (IOCs) and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) being leveraged by the LockBit ransomware operation over the past 3 years.

Malware is a persistent problem. As the digital age switched from desktops to handheld devices, so did hackers and other cybercriminals. Expansive enterprise attacks and small-scale phishing attacks now have companies with the inclusion of mobile data mining and virus infections. Your iPhone is no exception.

To identify malicious packages and protect yourself against them, you need to know what to look for. Here’s a simple guide. In January 2022, users of the popular open-source libraries “faker” and “colors” suddenly found their applications started to malfunction and display nonsensical data because they had been infected by a malicious package.

Here at Rubrik, we are rapidly progressing towards our initial FedRAMP® moderate authorization, and we are very excited to be listed as “In Process” on the FedRAMP Marketplace.

Ransomware attacks are as pervasive as ever, with new data demonstrating just how impactful the attacks really are. If you’re one of the lucky few organizations that hasn’t fallen victim to a ransomware attack, consider yourself lucky. According to the 2023 Ransomware Trends Report from backup vendor Veeam, the vast majority of organizations (85%) have experienced a ransomware attack. And while that number is pretty shocking, that’s not the worst of it.

These, as well as other notable trends from the previous quarter, are discussed in the report, Q1 2023 Threat Landscape Report: Ransomware Groups Splinter, Swarm Professional Services.

The purpose of the Netskope Threat Labs News Roundup series is to provide enterprise security teams an actionable brief on the top cybersecurity news from around the world. The brief includes summaries and links to the top news items spanning cloud-enabled threats, malware, and ransomware.

My analysis of this year’s newly-released Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report begins with ransomware findings that point back to users as a big problem. If you only read one report each year to give you an idea of what’s going on with cyber attacks, it’s Verizon’s Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR). Each year, analysts sort through tens of thousands of data breach incidents (some successful, some not) and identify the attack patterns.
