"Check Point’s Incident Response Team investigated the deployment of the ransomware against #Israeli organizations and claimed by a group dubbing itself Moneybird."
"Researchers found that it bore the hallmarks of Agrius, a #hacker group that has been around since 2020 and has attempted to disguise itself with aliases like BlackShadow."
A class 12 passout, former security officer and self taught cybergeek from Hyderabad, Shrinivas Rao Dadi, masterminded a nationwide cyberfraud with a turnover of Rs 3 crore a day. The money was being converted into #cryptocurrency and sent to #China. So, how did he do it? 
There was a hierarchy to how the scamsters operated. Some of them called up citizens, posing as policemen and flashing fake ID cards, over WhatsApp and Skype. Women were targetted the most. In Delhi, one of the scamsters made a video call to a woman, dressed in a khaki uniform.
The victims were told that a parcel he/she had sent by courier was found containing drugs. The terrified victims were deceived into downloading apps, such as Anydesk, that provided the scamster with remote access to his phone screen.
VERY FANCY BEAR
CAN I BE HACKED VIA BLUETOOTH?
Yes,
Once a Device is ‘Bluebugged’, the Hacker can access the target device, steal and modify device data, listen to calls, and read messages.

"Since 2014, Ukraine was testing ground for cyber warfare and included multiple forms of attacks. Prominent was the 2015-2016 attack on power grids. This was among a small selection of attacks that disrupted physical systems in Western Ukraine,": @shakirov2036 #RussiaUkraineWar
"In Russia, there was no discussion of cyber security consequences if a war starts. Ukraine faced various attacks including viper attacks, and multiple government websites were defaced. This attack impacted provision of financial & govt services to public,": @shakirov2036
BREAKING: There are at least 2 separate hacking campaigns going on & focusing in on the #Twitter blue checkmark verification process. One appears to be #phishing based and another far more nefarious .. and possibly a state actor using Twitter DMs. More shortly. Be alert #infosec
All political candidates running & in office are typically Twitter verified (blue checkmark). Most major journalists are as well. This is a HUGE target 4 a #cyberattack by a nation state actor. This campaign which is still under the radar is very worrisome
Liz @lizthegrey has done greaat work on this. Its not clear how widespread this is but it has some very concerning network indicators. And its significantly more sophisticated than the phishing email that is going around. #infosec #phishing #cybersecurity #malware #Election2022

To all the crypto family out there, prepare for total chaos. Sudden death will be new talk of the town this fall, early 2023. Energy prices will reach unimaginable levels in coming months as inflation heats up and central banks throw all their cards just to realize they can’t…
control it. Food will get scarce, biblical famines will hit 3rd world countries, spilling over to western world. EU energy rationing policies will cause wave of deaths this winter. CBDCs will roll out globally following China example. Universal basic income ( UBI ) …
Social credit score, food rationing with monthly allowance to buy essentials will be new norm and marketed as only fitted solution to global chaos. Every industry will experience bankruptcies shocks globally. Travel will become unaffordable to average middle class family…

🔴Why you should study the real cyber-attacks?
Because they usually use their own tools and malware so it doesn't have a signature, and because that's what we are trying to protect companies from
now let's see how can we study those attacks?

In 2022, #Sandworm hackers targeted two waves of attacks towards an oblenergo. The same attack from the same organization in 2015 made #Ukraine️ the first country in the world that suffered a powerful blackout due to a #cyberattack #cyberwar
The #cyberattacks were being attempted constantly since mid-February. Overall, since the full-scale war began there have been about 50 attacks that could have left a massive number of civilians without electricity. #Ukraine #UkraineRussianWar #WARINUKRAINE #cyberwar
But thanks to our experience, this time we were better prepared. The #cyberattack meant to cause a power outage on April 8th was successfully deterred, even though #russianhackers used more advanced tools. #Ukraine️

Shahi Exports Pvt. Ltd., an apparel manufacturing and exporting company run by actor Sonam Kapoor’s father-in-law Harish Ahuja, has recently been a victim of a highly sophisticated cybercrime.

Approximately ₹27 Crore was stolen from the company by a gang of cybercriminals who were busted by police in Faridabad, Haryana.
The fraudsters operated by misappropriating the firm’s ROSCTL licences with the help of Ahuja’s forged Digital Signature Certificate.

First we need to hang our head in shame. The US was explicit in intelligence readouts saying what has happened would happen. So it's not like we were not warned.
From early December onwards the playbook #Russia has followed was clearly laid out and this was brushed off lightly!
