Nearly four years after the WannaCry ransomware hit the world, targeting the EternalBlue vulnerability in Microsoft SMB version 1, security firms say the malware continues to be a top threat detected in the wild by endpoint security products. Why won't WannaCry just die?
Many IoT devices sold today don’t meet minimum security standards, and much effort is being devoted to making IoT devices more secure. IoT expert TJ O'Connor says consumers are largely in the dark when trying to evaluate the security stance of IoT devices.
Supermicro and Pulse Secure have each issued advisories warning users that some of their products are vulnerable to an updated version of Trickbot malware that features a bootkit module, nicknamed Trickboot, which can search for UEFI/BIOS firmware vulnerabilities.
Third-party software component vulnerabilities in medical devices are among several cyber-related health technology hazards posing significant risks to healthcare entities and their patients, say researchers Chad Waters and Juuso Leinonen of ECRI, a not-for-profit patient safety organization.
A critical authentication bypass vulnerability could enable hackers to remotely compromise programmable logic controllers made by industrial automation giant Rockwell Automation, according to the cybersecurity company Claroty. Rockwell has issued mitigation recommendations.
The U.S. National Security Agency has issued "zero trust" guidance aimed at securing critical networks and sensitive data within key federal agencies. The NSA adds it is also assisting Defense Department customers with the zero trust implementations.
Connected vehicles are rife with cybersecurity risks. But Faye Francy of Auto-ISAC says automakers and suppliers are increasingly sharing critical information and strengthening supply chains.
The cybersecurity agencies of five countries have issued a joint advisory warning that hackers are exploiting vulnerabilities in the Accellion File Transfer Appliance to steal data and execute ransomware. Australia's Transport for New South Wales and Canada's Bombardier are the latest victims to be revealed.
