In this episode of Cybersecurity Today, host David Shipley delves into alarming developments in the cybersecurity landscape. The FBI has flagged a massive malware campaign named Bad Box 2.0, which has compromised 1 million consumer devices globally, turning them into residential proxies. Additionally, a new variant of the Mirai malware is targeting DVR devices via a critical vulnerability. Meanwhile, criminals are shifting their operations from bulletproof hosts to harder-to-trace VPNs and residential proxy networks.
The episode also covers urgent calls for post-quantum cryptography readiness amidst looming quantum computing threats, alongside a significant policy shift in the US. President Trump has signed an executive order dismantling former President Biden's extensive cybersecurity initiatives, including efforts focused on AI and quantum cryptography. These regulatory rollbacks emphasize minimal federal oversight and leave long-term digital defense strategies in question.
