Cybercriminals are not only stealing companies’ data, but weaponizing it. “Compounding pressure for companies, they’re not just stealing data and threatening to leak it, but they’re actively analyzing it for ways to maximize damage and create new opportunities for extortion,” Christopher Budd, director of threat research at Sophos, tells Ella Hutchinson for Intelligent CISO. Proactive #cybersecurity strategies enable companies to stop adversaries before they reach your data. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3TtQo2j

Sophos X-Ops researchers noted an unusual #SocialEngineering tactic used in recent #ransomware attack carried out by Mad Liberator. Sead Fadilpašić of TechRadar Pro reports adversaries exploited Anydesk to dial into an employee's computer.

Many businesses lack the resources for comprehensive #RiskMitigation, Michael Novinson reports in Information Security Media Group (ISMG). Organizations have plenty of technology but require more support to ensure successful implementation. “What we find is that there's an underinvestment in the effective application of these products. We don't improve the state of cybersecurity by selling more products to the same set of customers and then expecting a different set of results,” says Joe Levy, CEO of Sophos.
