Spying, stealing, defacing. It’s been a busy week. These are the top security headlines for the week of August 28, 2017:
- The U.S. Navy says there’s no evidence of a cyber attack in the crash of the USS John S. McCain – but hypothetically, this is how it would work.
- Reuters reports cyber spies are using malware to target India and Pakistan – including decoy clickbait with Reuters reports. Yes, you read that right.
- Hurricane Harvey is a once in a 1,000 years disaster, but be careful before you donate. Scammers are registering domains to collect “donations” for bogus organizations.
- Have you ever wondered what happened to that old malware? CSO has a “Where are they now?”
- Ransomware is so corporate now.
- In “no one is off limits” news, hackers defaced the WikiLeaks homepage.
