Avaya Avaya Holdings Corp. is a global provider of digital communications products and services for large enterprises and governments. The SEC order against Avaya found that the company's post-incident disclosures in its Form 10-Q filed in February 2021 made materially misleading statements regarding a cyberattack discovered in December 2020 that resulted from the SolarWinds Orion compromise. The SEC found that the company knew that a threat actor had accessed at least 145 files in its cloud filesharing platform, some of which contained confidential and/or proprietary information, including third-party application passwords, internal security procedures, instructions regarding remote access, and product configuration information for at least one customer. However, its Form 10-Q disclosure omitted this information and only indicated that a threat actor had accessed a limited number of the company's email messages. | not-forward | www.mondaq.com | https://www.mondaq.com/unitedstates/security/1546820/key-takeaways-from-recent-sec-cybersecurity-enforcement-actions |

DDoS attack activity at a glance During Q1, Akamai mitigated more than 4,500 DDoS attacks, a 125 percent increase compared with Q1 2015. As in recent quarters, the vast majority of these attacks were based on reflection attacks using stresser/booter-based tools. These tools bounce traffic off servers running vulnerable services such as DNS, CHARGEN, and NTP. In fact, 70 percent of the DDoS attacks in Q1 used the reflection-based DNS, CHARGEN, NTP, or UDP fragment vectors More than half of the attacks (55 percent) targeted gaming companies, with another 25 percent targeting the software and technology industry. Q1 2016 also set a record for the number of DDoS attacks exceeding 100 Gigabits per second (Gbps): 19.

"Hackers obtained their [personally identifiable information] because of its value in exploiting and stealing the identities of Plaintiff and similarly situated Class Members," the case reads. "The risks to these persons will remain for their respective lifetimes." According to the complaint, Nelnet first began notifying state attorneys general about a "widespread data breach" of its computer network on August 26 of this year. In its letter sent to victims, Nelnet revealed that it discovered on July 21 that an unauthorized party had accessed a portion of its information system and network, the suit says. Rather than notify victims immediately, Nelnet chose to address the incident "in-house by implementing other safeguards to some aspects of its computer security" and investigating with "third-party forensic experts" before "simply resum[ing] its normal business operations," the lawsuit states.

It's urging customers to "apply these updates immediately to ensure they are protected." "With the rapid adoption of these exploits, Microsoft assesses with high confidence that threat actors will continue to integrate them into their attacks against unpatched on-premises SharePoint systems," the company warned in the post on its security blog. The incident is the latest test of Microsoft's cybersecurity overhaul, known as the Secure Future Initiative. Launched amid a series of damaging nation-state attacks — and escalated after a critical Cyber Safety Review Board report — the program aims to improve the security of Microsoft's engineering and reduce the risk of breaches.

Sony plans to delay its third-quarter financial results and has blamed North Korea's crippling cyber attack on Sony Pictures Entertainment's business systems. The media giant has asked Japan's Financial Services Agency to extend its deadline by a month so it can compile the period's results. Sony needs the extension so its film unit can enter two months' worth of trading data into financial systems taken offline in response to last November's breach. Sony Pictures Entertainment shut down its internal networks to contain the attack, taking essential financial and accounting applications offline. Sony on Friday said most of those applications would not be functional again until "early" February. This was "due to the amount of destruction and disruption that occurred, and the care necessary to avoid further damage by prematurely restarting functions." | forward | www.theregister.com | https://www.theregister.com/2015/01/23/sony_hack_delays_reporting |

To freeze or thaw your files by phone, you can reach the bureaus at: Equifax, 800-685-1111; TransUnion, 888-909-8872; Experian, 888-397-3742. Don't try to freeze your files online.

Fraud alerts are practically worthless. If you're freezing your file for the first time at TransUnion, you need to create your own six-digit PIN. I'd recommend writing that down ahead of time so you're not making something up on the fly that is easy to guess or that you might forget. It's easy to freeze your files if you're paying attention to the phone prompts. Don't try to multitask. The bureaus don't make it obvious what you need to do.

In December 2016, Uber paid the hackers $100,000 in bitcoin and asked them to sign a nondisclosure agreement falsely stating they did not take or store any data. The trial evidence showed that Sullivan justified the payoff as part of Uber's "bug bounty program," which rewards responsible hackers and researchers who discover security vulnerabilities, but the payment was over 10 times the program's award cap. The government also presented evidence that Sullivan was aware that the hackers had hacked and extorted other companies as well. Dara Khrosrowshahi, who became CEO in August 2017, testified at trial that he learned of the breach from a special committee shortly after beginning his tenure and promptly launched an independent investigation. Sullivan was terminated after the investigation determined that he provided incomplete and misleading details about the breach.

On relevant news, Cisco has also patched 18 vulnerabilities on their AsyncOS Software and Cisco Email Security Appliance products. The weaknesses on the former product permitted remote and unauthenticated attackers to formulate denial of service conditions (DoS) on the affected systems. On the Email suite, the most critical vulnerabilities allowed the sending of S/MIME-signed malicious emails caused by a failure in the filtering system due to an improper URL whitelisting functionality. The above affects multiple Cisco products from version 11.1 and older, so patching them results in a widespread fixing. Versions 12.x were found not to contain the aforementioned vulnerabilities, so there is no reason to upgrade if you're running the latest AsyncOS software.

Enterprises, municipalities, and hospitals are often targeted. SonicWall notes that there has been a fall in the number of phishing attacks, which are down 32% on this time last year. Phishing attacks are also becoming more targeted, with the attackers concentrating on C-suite executives, IT leaders, and the HR department. "What the data shows is that cybercriminals are becoming more nuanced, more targeted and savvier in their attacks," said SonicWall President and CEO Bill Conner. "We recommend that companies deploy a unified and layered security approach that provides real-time protection across all networks so that they don't find themselves front page news for a data breach." | not-forward | www.netsec.news | https://www.netsec.news/sonicwall-q3-threat-report |

A hacker break-in at credit and debit card processor Global Payments Inc. dates back to at least early June 2011, Visa and MasterCard warned in updated alerts sent to card-issuing banks in the past week. The disclosures offer the first additional details about the length of the breach since Global Payments acknowledged the incident on March 30, 2012. Visa and MasterCard send periodic alerts to card-issuing banks about cards that may need to be re-issued following a security breach at a processor or merchant. Indeed, it was two such alerts — issued within a day of each other in the final week of March — which prompted my reporting that ultimately exposed the incident. Since those initial alerts, Visa and MasterCard have issued at least seven updates, warning of additional compromised cards and pushing the window of vulnerability at Global Payments back further each time. | not-forward | www.zdnet.com | https://www.zdnet.com/article/over-1-5-million-visa-mastercard-credit-card-numbers-stolen |

The attacks were discovered by the Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 threat intelligence team and dubbed as Operation Lotus Blossom and over 50 separate attacks have been identified in the operation. According to the company, the attacks attempt to gain inside information on the operation of nation-states throughout the region. The campaign dates as far back as three years and involves targets in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Vietnam, the Philippines and Indonesia. All the attacks use a custom-built Trojan, Elise, to deliver highly targeted spear phishing emails and gain an initial foothold on targeted systems.

IN THE WEEKS since Elon Musk was forced to complete his acquisition of Twitter for $44 billion, the social network has been in a state of dramatic upheaval. Musk laid off more than half its workforce and fired more via public tweets. Digital infrastructure went on the fritz. And today, a reported 75 percent of staff refused to sign a pledge to work "long hours at high intensity," ostensibly triggering their resignations. It's now unclear who still works at Twitter. In short, all hell is breaking loose at the bird site. As the chaos mounts, one consequence inside the company could be less attention on digital security monitoring and fewer dedicated staffers working to defend Twitter from cyberattacks.

It is worth noting that, though this breach actually occurred during the time when CHCS owned the nursing homes, OCR chose to describe this as a settlement with a business associate—perhaps to underscore the importance of business associate compliance. Under BAA contractual obligations, business associates are specifically required to comply with the provisions of the HIPAA Security Rule and the corollary Breach Notification Rules. Thus, business associates of all types should take advance steps to ensure compliance so they will be prepared in the event of an OCR audit or investigation.

Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks continue to rise in frequency and sophistication. DDoS-for-hire, hacktivism and geopolitical forces all play a role in the growing cyber threat landscape. In fact, according to Gartner, DDoS attacks will be used as the most common cyberattack type in the coming years. And increasingly, threat actors are leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance the efficacy of DDoS attacks.
