The Good
With the number of cybercrimes increasing day by day, it has become an utmost priority to heighten the cybersecurity vigilance across the organizations. Taking this into account, federal authorities have released many advisories related to synthetic identity theft and cyberattacks through Tor networks and IPsec VPNs. Meanwhile, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has published three new standards to improve the security of IoT devices.
The Bad
The week saw one of the worst data leaks of the year due to misconfigured databases. A set of SQL databases containing 14 million users records from 945 websites was dumped for sale on the dark web. On the other hand, a data breach broker claimed to have sold over 1.3 million people’s records stolen from 14 different websites.
New Threats
In addition to data leaks, the cybersecurity landscape witnessed the notoriety of other malware such as Trickbot, Alina PoS, and XMRig. All these malware have now evolved with extra stealing and evasion capabilities to affect more and more people.
