Social media platforms and abusing the trust of their users: name a more iconic duo. Twitter is once again on the chopping block as it’s revealed they gave private user data to third party advertisers. The punishment was a $150 million fine.
In slightly more uplifting news, a notorious piece of malware known as Flubot has finally been stopped by the combined efforts of 11 countries, and Europol. Europol claim they have full control of the Flubot infrastructure, but time will tell if this piece of malware will rear its ugly head once more.
One of the world’s most prolific and long-running hacking groups has ramped up in the frequency of their attacks. The SideWinder group has committed over 1000 cyber attacks in the past two years. It also seems that SideWinder have expanded their range of operation, hitting out at other targets that are outside Central Asia.
Windows users have been warned about a fake Windows 11 software update. Installing the fake update will result in a malware infection. Remember to only download updates from official sources.
Bluetooth Low Energy tech has shown to be vulnerable to relay attacks. This kind of tech can be used for locking and unlocking car doors. Bluetooth tech experts are currently working on a solution.
