    ShinyHunters Hits the FBI, Fake LastPass Installers, and a $459M Google Fine: This Week's Cybersecurity Chaos (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    It’s been a busy week in cybersecurity, starting off with two notable breaches from our old friends ShinyHunters. This week, we reported that the group hacked CLOP, a ransomware group that ShinyHunters says stole a method from them to exploit a vulnerability in Oracle’s business software. ShinyHunters is demanding that the ransomware group pay a ransom itself, which I can't help but find funny. ShinyHunters also breached the FBI this week, extracting data on, in its own words, “very sensitive da

    How Did AI Send 1M Scams in 3 Days? 7 Brutal Security Stories Making Headlines This Week (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    There are two rules when it comes to cybersecurity news. First, there’s always something to talk about. Second, those things are often so irritating that you just want to go back to bed. Take this week, for example, when we reported on three different campaigns that compromised legitimate, trusted names to spread malware. Perhaps the biggest was that an HBO Max Reddit account was hijacked and began directing users to an app that was actually infostealer malware in disguise. Hot on the heels of t

    A Meta Exec's 150-Porn-Downloads-a-Day Habit, a 23-Year Botnet Bust, and $1M Phone Unlocks (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    If I gave you a million dollars to unlock your phone and hand it to me, would you take the money? According to a new survey we covered earlier this week, 60% of Americans would say no. It’s just one example of how, even though many say they have nothing to hide and don’t care about privacy, they hesitate to give it up, and still behave in ways that would protect it. That’s both a good and bad thing, since privacy is important whether you have something to hide or not, and ambivalence is how you

    SpaceX AI Weaponized, 153K Driver's Licenses Leaked, and GTA 6 Subpoenas: This Week's Security Scandals (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    You didn’t think the Grand Theft Auto VI leak saga was over, did you? It’s been a few weeks, but Rockstar Games and its parent company, Take-Two Interactive, have shown no signs of slowing down their investigation. The company just served two more subpoenas, requesting user information to identify the source of the leaks. Meanwhile, a look at the memecoin CyberLeek promoted shows that someone made a huge trade recently, which looks a bit like the hacker (or hackers) cashing out on their campaign

    Don't Click the GTA 6 Demo, Don't Trust the Flirty DM: This Week's Cybersecurity Survival Guide (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    The Grand Theft Auto VI leaks keep coming. Just this week, additional footage has been leaked, Rockstar Games fired off subpoenas and legal threats to try to find the hacker, and the hacking group itself even started asking for money just to talk about it. Rockstar finally issued a statement on the leaks, apologizing for the long wait for the game, which left a hole that leaks would naturally fill. It claims to have no plans to change its marketing or launch strategy. Meanwhile, the latest GTA V
