Throughout the past few years, Microsoft has faced a slew of negative news over a series of vulnerabilities and hacks. So, it’s no wonder that vulnerabilities in Microsoft products are an attractive attack vector. According to a report from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), Microsoft systems has had 238 cybersecurity deficiencies reported since the beginning of 2022, which is 30% of all vulnerabilities discovered so far this year. 

In 2021, major agencies like the National Security Agency (NSA), FBI, CISA and CIA detailed the 15 most common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVEs) exploited by hackers. Of those, 60% (nine) were due to deficiencies in Microsoft’s designed, operated and owned systems, including seven CVEs within Microsoft’s Exchange Server.

This is even more alarming when you consider that Microsoft holds a dominant share (85%) of U.S. government workplace procurement and IT systems, essentially putting the entire government at risk of a hack. 

Microsoft made headlines again in late 2021, when it warned customers that the Azure cloud platform had configuration errors in a component which, enabled by default, had exposed data for the past two years. As a result, thousands of customers that rely on the Azure Cosmos DB — including household names like Exxon and Coca-Cola, were exposed to the possibility that an attacker could read, write or delete data without authorization.

Need for data security in the growing digital landscape of India

Need for data security

Reports claim that there has been a stark increase in the rate of cybercrimes in the country due to reasons such as increase in online traffic, lack of awareness, lack of technical knowledge among police and people, and difficulties in investigating cybercrime cases. As per a Norton report, India faced over 18 million cyber threats in the first quarter of 2022. October is celebrated as Cybersecurity Awareness Month. To celebrate the occasion and create awareness of securing the virtual world TimesTech interacted with Mr. Keshav Kaushik, Assistant Professor, School of Computer Science, UPES to get many of your questions answered.

TimesTech: What is the current scenario of cyberattacks and ransomware?

Keshav: An important activity of our contemporary twenty-first century has undergone a metamorphosis in the age of globalization thanks to Internet banking or electronic transfers. People have created a variety of means of communication for sharing knowledge, which is crucial for them as social creatures. The development of e-banking technology makes the process very simple, which also speeds up financial operations to a click. Daily banking is quick and easy with online and mobile banking. Cybercrimes on a national and worldwide scale were born due to the misuse of information technology in cyberspace. There are more hazards and difficulties involved with it overall. Online and mobile banking, however, is never completely secure. In 2020, cyberattacks were ranked as the fifth greatest danger and have now established themselves as the standard in both the private and the public sectors. As IoT cyberattacks are anticipated to increase by 2025, this dangerous business is projected to continue expanding in 2022. The COVID-19 epidemic has caused a 600% increase in cybercrime, which encompasses fraud or embezzlement to data tampering and destruction. Each sector has had to adopt new technologies, which has compelled businesses to act rapidly to adapt. If you are one of the many who manage a growing business, you are aware that the environment is always evolving and that, to put it mildly, 2020 saw several changes.

KELA’s 2021-2022 UK Financial Sector Dark Web Threat Landscape Report Details ATPs … | Your Money

/in


TEL AVIV, Israel, May 17, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — KELA, the leading provider of cybercrime threat intelligence, has released their  2021-2022 UK Financial Sector Dark Web Threat Landscape Report. The research sheds light on the cyber threats targeting the UK’s financial sector, which is following the trend of transporting banking and financial services online, putting itself at risk of being cyberattacked.

UK firms have been recently  warned over possible Russian cyberattacks against western countries, the UK included, placing a scrutinizing spotlight on the UK’s cybersecurity. Eastern European geopolitics is far from being the UK’s only cyber threat. Various threat actors often target the UK for multiple reasons, including its wealth and importance to the world’s economy. 

With the financial sector in the UK being the most likely sector to  hold the personal data of customers, the question of this sector’s state of cybersecurity is of utmost importance. In addition, the research describes threats that UK companies have faced during 2021 and early 2022 and provides information on APTs that have targeted the UK recently.

“This report sheds light on the multiple, varying cyber threats posed to UK companies and organizations in general, and the UK financial sector in particular. Through 2021, both financial and other UK companies have been subject to multiple ransomware attacks, and credentials and compromised accounts belonging to British entities were often offered for sale on cybercrime forums,” said Irina Nesterovsky, Chief Research Officer at KELA.

Key Findings:

Leaked credentials: From Jan. 17, 2021, to Feb. 17, 2022, almost 17,000 credentials pertaining to UK’s top financial businesses were leaked. The majority of the credentials (27%) were leaked in the RedCappi breach, which occurred on Dec. 6, 2021, and 17% of all credentials belonging to UK financial institutions in the ParkMobile breach. The OXFAM Australia breach caused the leak of 16% out of all credentials.Compromised accounts: From Jan. 17, 2021, to Feb. 17, 2022, around 2,000 accounts were compromised. Most of those accounts got listed on the TwoEasy and Russian Market botnet…
