The Good
With another week coming to an end, let’s take a quick glance at all the positive developments that happened this week. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) came up with new strategies to strengthen the cyber ecosystem of government agencies. One of them includes the release of six Cyber Essentials toolkits that will improve the level of security awareness among organizations. The other is related to a new Domain Name System(DNS) resolver that will enhance the resiliency of online systems of federal agencies.
The Bad
Meanwhile, ransomware attacks continued to be a major concern for several organizations as attackers stole sensitive files and threatened to leak them online. Some of the victim organizations include the University of California San Francisco (UCSF), Digital Management Inc., and Westech International.
New Threats
Talking about new threats, security researchers discovered a new BazarBackdoor malware operated by the gang behind the TrickBot trojan. Another new malware, dubbed USBCulprit, associated with the Cycldek APT group was also found stealing data from air-gapped systems.
