Bad guys… along with their army of bad bots 🤖🤖🤖… sometimes get caught! Here’s an example of how complex a cybercriminal case can be—luckily this extensive hacking operation was shut down 😮💨 “As alleged in the indictment, Wang created malware that compromised millions of residential computers around the world and then sold access to the infected computers to cybercriminals… These criminals used the hijacked computers to conceal their identities and commit a host of crimes, from fraud to cyberstalking. Cybercriminals should take note. Today’s announcement sends a clear message that the Criminal Division and its law enforcement partners are firm in their resolve to disrupt the most technologically sophisticated criminal tools and hold wrongdoers to account.” Read more here: https://lnkd.in/g_3UD9X3 Though we no longer need to worry about this particular operation, this is just one example of the wild west of cyber crime 🤯 ☞ Stay Paranoid, Folks! #thursdaythoughts #stayparanoid #cybersecurity #cybersecuritynews #cybersecurityninjas #becybersmart #cyberhygiene #berkshireit #intheberkshires #itsupport #itdepartment #itsecurity #berkshireitservices #berkshirebusiness #keepitcool #modernit #synagex https://lnkd.in/dadR_MGY

As you design a house you keep a safe because you wanted to put your jewels there not that it would never get burgled but you wanted to make sure that whoever is the thief has the maximum amount of difficulty in reaching there. That is what corporate security, whether physical or digital security is all about. How should your crown jewels be safeguarded? Someone who is pursuing you today will have access to such data. This is more from the standpoint of corporate security—he finds the weakest link and exploits it. A YouTube video demonstrates that someone went to CP, gave someone a phone number, gave them Rs 200, and stated, ‘Share whatever OTP comes on this number with me.’ That is the level of awareness we are discussing. The larger issue arises when anything goes wrong because we are clueless about what to do. If deepfake becomes available on Facebook tomorrow, you can probably ask people where they're going, how they're going to make a formal complaint, and how they're going to report it, and they won't know. I believe there is a need to increase awareness, whether it is on a business or personal level.

International law enforcement agencies recently collaborated to bring down Lockbit, the ransomware gang. They also offered free decryption tools. These will help those whose data had been encrypted by the criminal network to recover it.

LockBit’s Ransomware Empire Takes a Hit From Law Enforcement https://lnkd.in/g42iMhBe Lessons Learned (1) Importance of Regular Software Updates The LockBit group admitted that their websites were confiscated by exploiting a critical PHP flaw (CVE-2023-3824). They acknowledged that they didn't update PHP due to "personal negligence and irresponsibility". This highlights the importance of regular software updates as a critical part of cybersecurity. (2) Resilience of Cyber Criminal Networks Despite the successful international law enforcement operation that seized LockBit's servers and disrupted its operations, the group managed to resurface on the dark web using new infrastructure. (3) The Role of International Cooperation in Cybersecurity The operation against LockBit involved law enforcement agencies from 11 countries and Europol. This underscores the importance of international cooperation in combating cybercrime, given its transnational nature. (4) The Threat of Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) LockBit operates a ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) scheme, where the encryptors are licensed to affiliates who carry out the attacks in exchange for a cut of the ransom proceeds. This business model allows cyber criminal networks to scale their operations and poses significant challenges for cybersecurity efforts. (5) The Need for Proactive Cybersecurity Measures LockBit ransomware attacks are known to exploit publicly-exposed RDP ports, use phishing emails to download malicious payloads, or leverage unpatched server flaws to gain remote access to targeted networks. This highlights the need for organizations to adopt proactive cybersecurity measures, such as securing RDP ports, training staff to recognize phishing attempts, and regularly patching server flaws.
