The Biden administration formally accused China's Ministry of State Security of conducting a series of attacks against vulnerable Microsoft Exchange servers earlier this year that affected thousands of organizations. This group is also accused of carrying out ransomware and other cyber operations.
A leak of 50,000 telephone numbers and email addresses led to the "Pegasus Project," a global media consortium's research effort that discovered how Pegasus spyware developed by NSO Group is being used in the wild.
Cyberattackers used spyware from the Israeli firm Candiru to target at least 100 human rights defenders, dissidents, journalists and others across 10 countries, according to researchers at the University of Toronto’s Citizen Lab, which tracks illegal hacking and surveillance.
In the latest weekly update, four editors at Information Security Media Group discuss important cybersecurity issues, including the challenges ahead for the new director of the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and vendor security risk management in the healthcare sector.
Extended detection and response, or XDR, can play an important role in improving the detection of ransomware and supply chain attacks, says Peter Firstbrook of Gartner.
In a multinational effort led by the Dutch National Police, authorities seized servers and web domains used by DoubleVPN, a Russia-based company that allegedly provided a safe operating infrastructure for cybercriminals, according to Europol.
Deputy national security adviser Anne Neuberger says the White House is preparing to release additional details, including attribution, about the attacks that targeted vulnerable on-premises Microsoft Exchange email servers at government agencies and other organizations earlier this year.

CISA is moving its Einstein intrusion detection system deeper into federal networks in an effort to better detect supply chain attacks after its failure to detect the espionage campaign that targeted SolarWinds and its customers, including federal agencies.
SolarMarker malware operators are using "SEO poisoning" techniques to deploy the remote access Trojan to steal sensitive information, Microsoft reports.
The Department of Justice announced Tuesday that it has seized two domains that were used during a recent phishing campaign that targeted a marketing firm used by the U.S. Agency for International Development - USAID - to send malicious messages to thousands of potential victims.
A Russian group that was behind the massive SolarWinds supply chain attack has returned with a fresh phishing campaign, according to Microsoft. This new campaign compromised a marketing firm used by the U.S. Agency for International Development - USAID - to send malicious messages to thousands.
The key to reducing "alert fatigue" is to make sure alerts are repeatedly validated before they're distributed, says Chris Kubic, CISO at Fidelis Cybersecurity, who formerly served as CISO at the U.S. National Security Agency.
You can see it in the latest high-profile attacks: Security requirements are ever more complex, exceeding the capacity of current protection capabilities. Enterprises need a new strategy for defending entry points, and Tom Sego of BlastWave believes he has it.
