Waterstons’ Post

A dough-manding situation (pun definitely intended🥖) In our November cyber report we took a look a recent cyberattack where threat actors were able to gain access to Schneider Electric’s Jira instance and exfiltrate 40GB of data projects, plugins and large amounts of user data. Shortly after the breach occurred, the threat actor ‘Hellcat’ took to X to announce they had stolen data and issue a ransom demand to Schneider Electric to prevent its release. However, in a departure from normal ransomware protocol, instead of cryptocurrency (the preferred currency of criminals) ‘Hellcat’ demanded $125,000 worth of baguettes in order to prevent the release of data. It is not clear if this is a serious demand, or if the threat actors wanted the baguettes at cost price or retail value… For more interesting insights that are truly the best thing since sliced bread, sign up for our cyber threat landscape report with the link below👇 https://lnkd.in/gpUmsWPJ #Waterstons #CyberSecurity #CyberAttack #ThreatLandscapeReport

The Bitcoin ATM Has Emerged as One of Cryptocurrency’s Biggest Threats. Bitcoin ATMs are facing increased scrutiny due to their susceptibility to cyber threats. Timothy Bates, a cybersecurity professor, highlights the vulnerability of these machines to malware attacks and network breaches that can lead to unauthorized access and data theft. Unlike traditional ATMs, Bitcoin ATMs manage high-value cryptocurrency, making them attractive targets for hackers. Joe Dobson emphasizes the decentralized nature of Bitcoin, which, while offering certain freedoms, poses significant security challenges. The absence of a governing body means there's limited oversight and control over who operates these ATMs, thereby increasing potential risks. To safeguard against these threats, it's crucial for operators to implement regular software updates and ensure secure network communications. This proactive approach can help mitigate cyber risks and protect users from financial loss.

🔒 Cryptojacking: The Hidden Threat in 2024 🔒 As we move deeper into the digital age, a new form of cybercrime is rising: Cryptojacking. This insidious threat involves hackers hijacking devices to mine cryptocurrencies without the owner’s knowledge, causing significant losses and operational disruptions. 📉 Cryptojacking incidents are projected to cause losses exceeding $1.06 billion by the end of 2024. How It Works: 1. Cybercriminals spread cryptojacking malware through infected links, websites, or code. 2. Victims unknowingly engage with the content. 3. The malware uses the victim's computing power to mine cryptocurrency. 4. The cryptocurrency is sent to the cybercriminals' server. This hidden threat underscores the need for robust cybersecurity measures.
