Nasdaq: Cybersecurity has been a hot theme this year, suddenly taking new importance in an economy that’s had workers everywhere working from home, logging into systems outside of offices, many for the first time.
TECHERATI: One in six firms met the demands of hackers last year by paying out ransoms, according to the “chilling” findings of a report on cyber crime. The annual Hiscox Cyber Readiness Report revealed that 6 percent of the 5,569 firms polled – and one in six of those attacked – had surrendered by paying a ransom following a cyber attack.
ZDNet: CIOs are under more pressure than ever before when it comes to cybersecurity concerns, especially now that many or even all of the staff in their organisation are working from home, perhaps using unfamiliar software and hardware as they try to do their jobs on lockdown.
ZDNet: The coronavirus pandemic has forced both employers and employees to quickly adjust to remote working – and, often without the watchful eyes of IT and information security teams, workers are taking more risks online and with data than they would at the office.
CNN Business: A desire to steal money continues to be the leading motivator behind cyber attacks, according to Verizon's annual Data Breach Investigations Report.
Financial News: The Covid-19 crisis has been a major headache for the asset management sector — most investment houses have bled heavy outflows and seen revenues plunge as investors wait out the turmoil.
Coindesk: Unscrupulous hackers are socially engineering their way into financial systems and financial accounts. Well intentioned efforts to promote public safety are fostering prospective abrogation of personal data privacy. At the same time, there are new areas of business opportunity for distributed ledger companies emerging from the crisis.
Security Magazine: LastPass by LogMeIn released findings of its third Psychology of Passwords global report, revealing that people aren’t protecting themselves from cybersecurity risks even though they know they should. Year after year there is heightened global awareness of hacking and data breaches, yet consumer password behaviors remain largely unchanged, says the report.
Dark Reading: Women are better at cybersecurity and protecting themselves online, new research by NordPass suggests. The survey revealed that women are more concerned about the potential harm of their personal online accounts being hacked. They also tend to use unique passwords more often than men.
ZDNet: A cybercrime group operating since mid-2019 has breached the email accounts of high-ranking executives at more than 150 companies, cyber-security firm Group-IB reported today.
