🚨 Cybersecurity Update - Microsoft has released pivotal patches to address 73 vulnerabilities across its software suite, including 2 critical zero-day flaws under active exploitation, as part of February 2024's Patch Tuesday. The flaws in question are: CVE-2024-21351, affecting Windows SmartScreen, and CVE-2024-21412 is related to Internet Shortcut Files. These security gaps present substantial risks and have been previously exploited by sophisticated hacking groups like Water Hydra, as revealed by Trend Micro. In addition to these zero-days, Microsoft corrected 5 critical issues involving Hyper-V, PGM, Dynamics, Exchange Server, and Outlook. Cybersecurity professionals particularly highlight CVE-2024-21410 in the Exchange Server as an exploitable vulnerability that attackers are likely targeting. 🔐 Given the severity and targeted nature of these flaws, it's crucial for all organizations to expedite the implementation of these patches. The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) reinforces this urgency, mandating federal agencies to update by March 5, 2024.

It is going to be a very busy day here in Canberra after #PatchTuesday. The critical security bypass of Windows Defender will affect a majority departments locally. Even though the patch was just released, this vulnerability has already been exploited in the wild. "The users most at risk are customers of Microsoft Windows Defender, and the risk is lower for users with mutli-vendor layered security in place.  Trend customers who’ve implemented our IPS (virtual patch) technologies are at the lowest risk." For those customers who have used our IPS solution they have been protected for almost a month (since January 17th). Through the Zero Day Initiative and our virtual patching we help customers mitigate risks on average 51 days earlier. #cyber #cybersecurity #aheadofthecurve https://lnkd.in/gjzuBGg5

Happy Friday! We’re back with another Weekly Threat Roundup—a carefully selected compilation of must-read articles on the newest threats in the cyber world. Each week, we dive into the most pressing #cybersecurity news to bring you the insights you need to stay informed. This week, we focus on the notorious cyber gang UNC3944, known as Scattered Spider, which has shifted its tactics to target #SaaS applications and #cloud environments like VMware vSphere and Microsoft Azure. This group has moved from traditional #ransomware attacks to data theft and extortion, often using social engineering to gain access to high-privilege accounts. They manipulate corporate help desks to reset multi-factor authentication (#MFA) and passwords, and if social engineering fails, they may resort to threats and intimidation. UNC3944 uses compromised credentials to deploy virtual machines within victim infrastructures, leveraging tools like Okta, #VMware's vCenter, and various SaaS platforms to maintain persistent access and conduct malicious activities. Organizations are advised to enhance monitoring of SaaS applications and centralize logs to detect potential compromises quickly. 💡 Stay informed on evolving threats by subscribing to our Weekly Threat Roundup: https://hubs.li/Q02CS1DS0 #infosec #WeeklyThreatRoundup

Ensuring access to broadband and network services is highly crucial for our communities and constituents. The reliability and significance of these networks and services cannot be overstated as they are fundamental for people to thrive. However, there exist threats from various actors worldwide that pose significant risks to our networks. These threats range from opportunistic individuals exploiting vulnerabilities to sophisticated attackers with specific political or financial motives. Attackers don’t discriminate based on size or resources; every network is a potential target. Therefore, we must respond to threats as effectively as any other network operator. Cybersecurity can seem overwhelmingly complex, with attackers capable of exploiting any component under our control, including desktops, servers, network equipment, cloud providers, and even our own employees. Understanding how these components interact can be challenging. Fortunately, there are solutions available, and they can be surprisingly simple. A security framework based on the Center for Internet Security’s “Top 20 Security Controls” can be tailored to address the unique challenges faced by our networks.
