Mandiant said the attackers will continue to change their tactics and malware, “especially as network defenders continue to take action against this adversary and their activity is further exposed by the infosec community.” “They sold so many VPNs through the pandemic and this is the hangover,” Gray said.
The investigation conducted by Cisco Security Incident Response (CSIRT) and Cisco Talos revealed that threat actors compromised a Cisco employee’s credentials after they gained control of a personal Google account where credentials saved in the victim’s browser were being synchronized. ” reads the analysis published by Cisco Talos.

Read our joint advisory with the @FBI for technical details and recommended actions: [link] #InfoSec #InfoSecurity #Protect2020 pic.twitter.com/D2Clny9zUI — Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (@CISAgov). October 10, 2020. CISA details what the TTPs look like in this attack.
The attacker gained initial access to two employee accounts by carrying out social engineering attacks on the organization’s help desk twice. Scattered Spider previously targeted telecommunications firms, likely to support its SIM-swapping activities that facilitate account takeovers.
These attackers will use a variety of lures to pull people in, but a lot of the phishing has been centered around updating the VPN for a client or employee, or redirecting users to phishing sites that look a lot like their collaborative platform login page. And you know, that can cause a potential loss for that organization.".
That includes setting up a VPN through which remote employees can access work assets. One of the most common ways by which malicious actors perpetrate account takeover (ATO) fraud is via password brute forcing attacks. Infosec personnel should also help employees store those passwords safely such as via the use of a password manager.
and 3rd party vendors (VPN to cloud provider, service provider, etc.). Some items to consider: A bank issues you with an account number and asks for verification when you want to make a transaction, but this process can’t take so long that it slows down other customer waiting in line. Download it on Github.
Blocking legitimate users is part of that problem, blocking users wanting to protect their traffic with a VPN is another: This has been there for the past year now. They also blacklist vpn IP addresses. Geo-blocking is a really weak, easily circumvented control that often does more harm than good.
According to the investigation, an attacker logged into the old VPN (virtual private network) that DDC used before migrating to a new one using a compromised employee account. Weeks after, the attacker used a test account with administrator privileges to establish persistence in the now-compromised environment.
We constantly see new threats, and threat vectors, come and go; which puts a tremendous strain on the InfoSec teams that have to protect organizations and businesses from these threats. CyberArk reduces VPN risk with MFA enforcement on any VPN client that supports RADIUS; including Cisco Secure Firewall. Read more here.
This past years’ bout of VPN related breaches is a great example, especially as patches were available over a year ago. Yet, if you conduct an audit and find several unpatched systems – the common cause is often lack of accountability.
Once an account gets compromised finding pictures from chats such as those that may have been shared with an intimate friend is cake walk. With a specialized cyber security tool such as a VPN , anyone can become completely anonymous and invisible online, making it impossible for anyone to detect your presence or activities.
Further evolution of cyberthreats as a response to infosec tools and measures. For example, a popular tactic in spyware attacks is now to send phishing e-mails from compromised corporate mail accounts of a partner organization of the intended victim. Update firewalls and SSL VPN gateways in good time.
A pledge to prevent harassment of infosec professionals. We would instead like the industry to come together to eradicate harassment and make the perpetrators accountable for their actions through official channels,” she said. MORE Consumers beware: VPN industry consolidation might not be good news. MORE Who scams the scammers?
In addition, you can take advantage of the OAuth on-behalf-of (OBO) flow to maintain access to the target account, even after the TAP has expired. Even better, we aren’t forced to change a password on a critical automation account and potentially break some critical system, like a CI/CD pipeline. acct : 0 acr : 1 aio : E2ZgYE.

Your credit card or PayPal account offers more protection if you are the victim of a cyber-attack because they are not directly linked to your bank account and provide insurance for theft. If you must use one to make a purchase, use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to keep your information protected. Use Your Credit Card.
In this years DBIR, vulnerabilities in Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) and edge devices were particular areas of concern, accounting for 22% of the CVE-related breaches in this years report, almost eight times the amount of 3% found in the 2024 report. Security isnt just for infosec professionals its everyones responsibility.

Once you've set up an anonymous email account and you've set up your first cryptocurrency wallet, set up a secondary cryptocurrency account.
They are already involved in securing the server side, the work-at-home desktop, the VPN, and all the other network essentials. If there's one thing that the entire cybersecurity industry is agreed about (other than hating the term cybersecurity, preferring "infosec" instead) is that you need this vulnerability disclosure program.
The incident prompted the school district administration to contract a specialized infosec provider for DDoS protection. In particular, they use VPN, proxy servers, and infected devices located in the same region as the target to render blocking pointless. 25% of the targets were located in the US, accounting for 45.95% of all attacks.
First of all, while I am honoured and deeply thankful for the recognition, I believe strongly that Security is a team effort and I must acknowledge the superb InfoSec team in Steward but also the Steward workforce. I have found ripe recruits in the helpdesk, account management, desktop engineering and networking teams. I have that.
