The cyber phases of two wars show signs of intersecting. Developments in cyberespionage and cybercrime.
Disinformation and Hacktivism in the war between Hamas and Israel. KillNet and the IT Army of Ukraine say they'll follow ICRC guidelines. The current state of DPRK cyber operations. The Grayling cyberespionage group is active against Taiwan. A Magecart campaign abuses 404 pages. 23andMe suffers abreach. Voter records in Washington, DC, have been compromised. In our Solution Spotlight, Simone Petrella speaks with Raytheon’s Jon Check about supporting and shaping the next generation of the cyber workforce. Grady Summers from SailPoint outlines the importance of organizations managing and protecting access to critical data. And a look at CISOs willingness to pay ransom.
