SC Media: With two major actions in the last six months of 2023, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has made it clear that it plans to get tough on cybersecurity.
Bleeping Computer: In 2023, we saw numerous law enforcement operations targeting cybercrime operations, including cryptocurrency scams, phishing attacks, credential theft, malware development, and ransomware attacks.
The Target: Americold is the world’s largest publicly traded real estate investment trust focused on temperature-controlled warehouses. The company controls 250 warehouses across the world — most of which are used by food producers, distributors and retailers.
The Take: Names, addresses, Social Security numbers, driver’s license/state ID numbers, passport numbers, financial account information, and employment-related health insurance and medical information were leaked
The Vector: Americold confirmed that hackers had breached its systems on April 26 and accessed the information of current and former Americold employees as well as their dependents. While the company did not explicitly call it a ransomware attack, it said the cybersecurity incident “involved the deployment of malware on certain systems.”
As phishing actors continue to explore every potential abuse opportunity on legitimate service providers, novel security gaps constantly threaten to expose users to severe risks. It is essential not to rely solely on email protection solutions, and also scrutinize every email that lands on your inbox, look for inconsistencies, and double-check all claims made in those messages.
Financial Conduct Authority (FCA): CBEST tests the cyber resilience of firms and financial market infrastructures (FMIs) through live testing that mimics the actions of cyber attackers.
CSO: Organizations globally are grappling with the impact of constant technological changes and the need to keep up with the ongoing evolution of cybersecurity capabilities.
BNN Bloomberg: Some public companies are still trying to figure out how to comply with new rules from the US Securities and Exchange Commission requiring speedy disclosure of significant cyberattacks.
The Record: One of the biggest apparel companies in the world reported a “material” cyberattack to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on the first day that a new cyber incident reporting rule went into effect.
SecurityWeek: Nearly 70% of Iran’s gas stations went out of service following possible sabotage — a reference to cyberattacks, Iranian state TV reported.
XM: Britain's National Grid NG.L has started removing components supplied by a unit of China-backed Nari Technology's 600406.SS from the electricity transmission network over cyber security fears, the Financial Times reported.
Yahoo Finance: The technology sector is set to outperform again in 2024, with cybersecurity and cloud networking stocks among those best positioned, according to Barclays. A major catalyst: artificial intelligence.
