1. Massive ATM hack hits 3.2 Million Indian
Debit cards: India is undergoing
the biggest data breaches to date with as many as 3.2 Million debit card
details reportedly stolen from multiple banks and financial platforms. The
massive financial breach has hit India's biggest banks including State Bank of
India (SBI), HDFC Bank, Yes Bank, ICICI Bank and Axis, and customers are
advised to change their ATM PIN immediately. Hackers stole the data by
allegedly using malware to compromise the Hitachi Payment Services platform —
which is used to power country's ATM, point-of-sale (PoS) machines and other
financial transactions.
2. An army of Million hacked IoT devices
almost broke the Internet: A massive
Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attack against Dyn, a major domain name
system (DNS) provider, broke large portions of the Internet on Friday, causing
a significant outage to a ton of websites and services, including Twitter,
GitHub, PayPal, Amazon, Reddit, Netflix, and Spotify. Though the exact details
of the attack remain vague, it is suspected that it could have been using
hijacked IoT devices - very similar to the 1 Tbps DDoS attack on France-based hosting
provider OVH.
3. Weebly & Foursquare join the massive
Data breach family: Weebly and
Foursquare are the latest victims of the massive data breach, joining the list
of "Mega-Breaches" revealed in recent months, including LinkedIn, MySpace, VK.com, Tumblr, Dropbox, and the biggest one -- Yahoo. Website building service company -
Weebly, lost details of 43 Million users, which includes usernames, email
addresses, passwords, and IP addresses. The passwords were encrypted and
salted, so it will be difficult for hackers to obtain the real passwords.
Location based search-and-discovery service mobile app company - Foursquare,
lost details of 22.5Million customers.
4. LinkedIn hacker arrested: The 29 year old Russian hacker responsible for massive
2012 data breach at LinkedIn, has been arrested
in Prague. The breach had affected 117 Million users. He had managed to break
into the company's computers in March 2012 by stealing the username and
password of a LinkedIn employee who worked at the company's Mountain View, California,
headquarters. This stolen data was put on sale by a hacker called 'Peace', who
also put data dumps of MySpace, Tumblr, VK.com, and Yahoo! on the dark web
marketplace. As of now it is not sure if the arrested person and ‘Peace’ are
the same.
5. Details emerge after the NSA
contractor's arrest: Issue 85 - we discussed -
"Another NSA Contractor arrested for stealing 'Secret' documents".
Now, according to a court document filed last week, the FBI seized at least 50
terabytes of data from the contractor that he had siphoned from government
computers over two decades, he also took several physical documents, many of
which were marked "Secret" and "Top Secret." The stolen
data also contained the hacking tools that were recently leaked by 'The Shadow Brokers', further investigation
will determine if there is any connection between these events.
6. Dirty COW — critical Linux kernel flaw
being exploited in the wild: A
nine-year-old critical vulnerability Dubbed "Dirty COW", has been
discovered in virtually all versions of the Linux OS and is actively being
exploited in the wild. The flaw is a privilege-escalation vulnerability, that
is part of every distro of Linux - RedHat, Debian, and Ubuntu and it can be
easily/reliably exploited. The flaw gets its name from the copy-on-write (COW)
mechanism in the Linux kernel, which is so broken that any application or
malware can tamper with read-only root-owned executable files to gain
administrative (root-level) access to the device and completely hijack it.
7. This free tool protects PCs from master
boot record attacks: In Issue 58 -we discussed - Petya
Ransomware which not only encrypts the files but also locks down the entire
computer by attacking the Master boot record. Now Cyber security experts have
developed an open-source tool that can protect the master boot record of
Windows computers from modification by ransomware and other malicious attacks.
Dubbed ‘MBRFilter’, the tool is nothing more than a signed system driver that
puts the MBR into a read-only state, preventing any software or malware from
modifying data of the MBR section.
8. Ransomware update: Ransomware has exploded in 2016 and is increasingly
targeting business networks instead of individual users. The total cost of
damages related to these attacks is set to cross $1 billion this year. The
primary drivers of Ransomware growth have been that attacks are easy to carry
out and victims are willing to pay to get their data back. The bad news is that
ransomware doesn't show any signs of slowing down and it's likely to only
become a bigger problem during 2017. Building awareness, regular back-ups and a
good Web Security solution can go a long way in protecting networks from
Ransomware.
9. St. Jude Medical and Muddy Waters
update: Issue 81 - St. Jude Medical (STM) sued
Muddy waters to set the records right. Last week - Muddy waters launched a new
website, posting more demo videos and information about vulnerabilities in
STM's implantable cardiac devices. STM claims that MedSec and Muddy Waters
falsely issued warnings about insecure medical devices in order to
intentionally drop the share value of STM - with an objective to profit from it.
Meanwhile, STM has announced plans for a Cyber Security Medical Advisory Board
which will handle all issues related to cybersecurity standards of its medical
devices.
10. Indo-pak cyberwar update: Pakistani hackers often tap into the
frequencies that Indian airlines use to communicate with ATC while landing in
border towns like Jammu. The hackers then block the communication and start
transmitting Pakistani patriotic songs. Indian pilots quickly coordinate with
other Airforce ATC in the vicinity to change the frequency to restore
communications. For all its IT prowess, cyberspace is one frontier on which
India remains seriously vulnerable. Steps are being taken to plug the gaping
holes. The ambitious Digital India program will also need to factor in
Cybersecurity. We can also learn from the Yahoo breach and protect our own
billion+ user database – Aadhar.

My name is Alicia , I have been hearing about this blank ATM card for a while and i never really paid any interest to it because of my doubts. Until one day i discovered a hacking guy called (OSCAR WHITE). he is really good at what he is doing. Back to the point, I inquired about The Blank ATM Card. If it works or even exist .He told me Yes and that its a card programmed for random money withdraws without being noticed and can also be used for free online purchases of any kind. This was shocking and i still had my doubts. Then i gave it a try and asked for the card and agreed to their terms and conditions. Hoping and praying it was not a scam. One week later i received my card and tried with the closest ATM machine close to me, It worked like magic. I was able to withdraw up to $4500. This was unbelievable and the happiest day of my life. So far i have being able to withdraw up to $28000 without any stress of being caught.
