First, the FBI has shut down the Rydox Marketplace, a notorious platform for selling personal data, seizing $225,000 in cryptocurrency linked to over 7,600 illicit sales. This operation strikes a major blow against online data trafficking.
Next, a newly discovered symlink exploit threatens Apple's TCC privacy framework in iOS and macOS systems, raising alarms about the potential for unauthorized data access by malicious apps without user consent.
We also delve into a new "vishing" tactic using Microsoft Teams, where cybercriminals impersonate IT support to install DarkGate malware in corporate systems. This highlights the need for robust security measures in virtual communication tools.
In other news, Rutherford County Schools in Tennessee face a ransomware attack with hackers demanding 20 Bitcoin, but school officials refuse to pay, focusing instead on strengthening cybersecurity after staff data appeared on the dark web.
