Crooks threaten to leak 2.9B records of personal info
Crooks threaten to leak 2.9B records of personal info
Billions of records detailing people's personal information may soon be dumped online after being allegedly obtained from a Florida firm that handles background checks and other requests for folks' private info. A criminal gang that goes by the handle USDoD put the database up for sale for $3.5 million on an underworld forum in April, and rather incredibly claimed the trove included 2.9 billion records on all US, Canadian, and British citizens. It's believed one or more miscreants using the handle SXUL was responsible for the alleged exfiltration, who passed it onto USDoD, which is acting as a broker.

Telegram Combolists and 361M Email Addresses
Telegram Combolists and 361M Email Addresses
Last week, a security researcher sent me 122GB of data scraped out of thousands of Telegram channels. It contained 1.7k files with 2B lines and 361M unique email addresses of which 151M had never been seen in HIBP before. Alongside those addresses were passwords and, in many cases, the website the data pertains to. I've loaded it into Have I Been Pwned (HIBP) today because there's a huge amount of previously unseen email addresses and based on all the checks I've done, it's legitimate data. That's the high-level overview, now here are the details:

Detecting and Preventing Unauthorized User Access: Instructions
Detecting and Preventing Unauthorized User Access: Instructions
Snowflake recently observed and is investigating an increase in cyber threat activity targeting some of our customers’ accounts. We believe this is the result of ongoing industry-wide, identity-based attacks with the intent to obtain customer data. Research indicates that these types of attacks are performed with our customers’ user credentials that were exposed through unrelated cyber threat activity. To date, we do not believe this activity is caused by any vulnerability, misconfiguration, or malicious activity within the Snowflake product. Throughout the course of our ongoing investigation, we have promptly informed the limited number of customers who we believe may have been impacted. This post will assist with investigating any potential threat activity within Snowflake customer accounts and provide guidance in the “Recommended Actions” section below.

Snowflake at centre of world’s largest data breach
Snowflake at centre of world’s largest data breach
Cloud AI Data platform Snowflake are having a bad month. Due to teenager threat actors and cybersecurity of its own customers… and its own cybersecurity, too, in terms of optics. There are several large data breaches playing out in the media currently. For example, Ticketmaster owner Live Nation filed an 8-K with the SEC for potentially the largest data breach ever, claimed to be 560 million customers.

NIST Getting Outside Help for National Vulnerability Database
NIST Getting Outside Help for National Vulnerability Database
NIST announced on Wednesday that it will be receiving outside help to get the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) back on track within the next few months. The organization informed the cybersecurity community in February that it should expect delays in the analysis of Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) identifiers in the NVD, saying that it was working to establish a consortium to improve the program.

How AI Will Change Democracy
How AI Will Change Democracy
I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to predict that artificial intelligence will affect every aspect of our society. Not by doing new things. But mostly by doing things that are already being done by humans, perfectly competently. Replacing humans with AIs isn’t necessarily interesting. But when an AI takes over a human task, the task changes.

Ransomware Diaries: Volume 1
Ransomware Diaries: Volume 1
The LockBit ransomware gang is one of the most notorious organized cybercrime syndicates that exists today. The gang is behind attacks targeting private-sector corporations and other high-profile industries worldwide. News and media outlets have documented many LockBit attacks, while security vendors offer technical assessments explaining how each occurred. Although these provide insight into the attacks, I wanted to know more about the human side of the operation to learn about the insights, motivations, and behaviors of the individuals on the other side of the keyboard. To prepare for this project, I spent months developing several online personas and established their credibility over time to gain access to the gang’s operation.

Shc Linux Malware Installing CoinMiner
Shc Linux Malware Installing CoinMiner
The ASEC analysis team recently discovered that a Linux malware developed with Shc has been installing a CoinMiner. It is presumed that after successful authentication through a dictionary attack on inadequately managed Linux SSH servers, various malware were installed on the target system. Among those installed were the Shc downloader, XMRig CoinMiner installed through the former, and DDoS IRC Bot, developed with Perl.
