A new joint advisory from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Multi-State Information Sharing and Analysis Center (MS-ISAC) reveals that the Medusa #ransomware has impacted over 300 orgs in critical infrastructure sectors in the United States — and these attacks are escalating. 😱 Medusa ransomware has evolved from a closed ransomware variant into a ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) operation and adopted an affiliate model. In total, this gang has claimed over 400 victims worldwide. ☠️ 🌏 Learn which specific defensive actions FBI, CISA, and MS-ISAC are advising, and more.💡 https://hubs.la/Q03c6D7h0 #cybercrime #cyberthreat #cybersecurity

Public #utilities are often underfunded and are based on legacy infrastructure, which makes them prime targets for threat actors. 🎯 👀 And, while all public utilities are vulnerable, the energy sector is particularly at risk.🔌 Public utilities also rely heavily on ICS and IoT (Industrial Control Systems and Internet of Things) technology, which isn't as advanced in cyber defense as other technologies. That, along with their expanding attack surface and the escalating costs associated with security initiatives, makes for a perfect #cyberrisk storm. ⛈️ Read up on: ☠️ Recent attacks on public utilities 🔒 Challenges in securing public utilities 👍 Advice for improving security in these sectors https://hubs.la/Q03bVyWs0 #cybersecurity

Artificial intelligence, digital decentralizing, supply chain interdependencies, and regulatory issues are all #cybersecurity trends on Gartner's radar for 2025. But, #AI is at the top of the list. 🤖 📋 And, while gen AI adoption is transforming orgs, it's also increasing the cyber threat attack surface. So, #security leaders are facing a difficult balancing act with this. Dig into some of the details about how gen AI transforms data security, tactical AI adoption, and more — in this article via Cyber Magazine. https://hubs.la/Q03bLX0r0 #infosec #datasecurity

Threat actors are constantly finding new ways to intrude into Operational Technology (OT) environments and Industrial Control Systems (ICS). 😟 Let's take a look at some current threats in OT/ICS that are working for hackers right now. 👀 ⤵️ ➡️ The age of digital isolation for OT and ICS from IT environments is over, and attackers now exploit weaknesses at the security boundary between IT and OT environments. ➡️ One in five businesses have been impacted by hardware supply chain attacks. And supply chain poisoning is particularly troubling for OT/ICS because physical devices that control critical infrastructure can pose risks to human safety. ➡️ Direct internet access is often inevitable, which can lead to #security gaps. ➡️ The human factor also plays a strong role in cyber incidents that target OT/OCS, and #phishing campaigns targeting employees and errors by staff are dominant attack vectors.
