  • 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

  • This October we partnered with Teesside University London to help bridge the gap between the conceptual and practical applications of cyber security. "But how?" we hear you ask... Through a multi-phase, team-based competition aimed at developing practical cybersecurity skills. Student teams of up to four members analysed a simulated network, identified vulnerabilities, and crafted security recommendations using industry-standard tools like Nessus, NMAP, and GoWitness. The competition resulted in a presentation to a judging panel, with students detailing their methods, technical findings, proposed solutions, and reflections on the experience. Each team worked incredibly hard throughout, developing new skills both in cyber security and in team work. The challenge was a great success and was down to the wonderful team and Teesside University and our own brilliant team from Waterstons. #TeessideUni #WeAreWaterstons #CyberSecurity #TeamWork #CyberSecurityChallenge
