I'm Gracie Folkins, today is February 13th, 2024, and you are listening to Hack News Daily.
Let's dive into the latest in cybersecurity. This week, we've seen quite a bit happening across the globe. First off, a major labor union, SEIU, faced a ransomware attack. Meanwhile, Hyundai Motor Europe also experienced a cyber-attack. Two US insurance firms were hit by SIM swap breaches, and over in France, there's been a massive data compromise affecting health insurance.
Looking at international espionage, Chinese hackers have been spying on Dutch Defense. Back in the US, Pennsylvania's court system was disrupted by a DDoS attack. Over in the Philippines, an email intrusion was fortunately stopped in its tracks.
For those tech-savvy among us, be aware: critical security patches have been released for Fortinet and Ivanti vulnerabilities. Linux users, there's a remote code execution issue in the shim you'll want to look into. And a piece of malware named Raspberry Robin is making the rounds through USB devices, so keep an eye out.
In other news, the FCC is cracking down on robocalls with AI-generated voices, making them illegal without prior consent. And for router users, there's a new exploit targeting Bytevalue routers – it's a good time to check for security updates.
There's also been a cybersecurity incident affecting the Caravan and Motorhome Club, potentially exposing member data. But there's a silver lining elsewhere: cybersecurity researchers have cracked the Rhysida ransomware, offering a new tool for victims to decrypt their data without paying a ransom.
CISA, in collaboration with OpenSSF, has introduced a security framework for package repositories to boost their safety, which is great news for developers.
Facebook Marketplace users, take note: a leak affecting about 200,000 users was reported. Although passwords weren't compromised, it's a good reminder to update your passwords and enable two-factor authentication.
In France, a data breach has exposed the private information of over 33 million citizens. And in cybersecurity tactics, APT29, also known as Cozy Bear, has been exploiting Microsoft through password spraying attacks.
Lastly, a critical security flaw in PostgreSQL versions 12 through 15 could allow for privilege escalation, so make sure to upgrade to the latest versions.
For tech enthusiasts, learning about email fraud prevention using OSINT techniques could be quite intriguing, offering new ways to safeguard information.
