Before cybercriminals shifted heavily into ransomware, there was banking malware: sophisticated programs designed collect login credentials and intervene in transactions. A campaign using the Dridex banking Trojan has appeared in Mexico, says Metabase Q, a security company.
The calculus facing cybercrime practitioners is simple: Can they stay out of jail long enough to enjoy their ill-gotten gains? A push by the U.S. government and allies aims to blunt the ongoing ransomware scourge. But will practitioners quit the cybercrime life?
Marcus Rameke of Nikko Asset Management Group in New Zealand shares how he led the digital transformation journey to enable it to fulfill new business requirements using an agile approach that made staff more mobile and able to achieve better productivity and revenue and improve client satisfaction.
OK, so the trend is away from endpoint detection and response to extended detection and response. What does that even mean, and how can organizations get maximum cybersecurity protection from this shift? Cisco's Brian McMahon shares insight.
The U.S. State Department is offering rewards of up to $10 million for information that leads to the identification or location of members of the DarkSide ransomware gang and others who attack critical infrastructure. It follows the U.S. taking offensive cyber action against REvil, The Washington Post reports.
Wireless device makers in the European Union market will soon have to adhere to a new set of cybersecurity guidelines at the design and production stages of manufacturing, according to the European Commission. The guidelines target devices such as mobile phones, tablets and other products.
Roya Gordon of Accenture Security describes how rather than hunting for zero-day vulnerabilities, attackers are exploiting N-Day - or known - vulnerabilities. She also discusses how to better synthesize and act on threat intelligence.

While ransomware might be today's top cybercrime boogeyman, attackers aren't infallible. The latest example: Errors in DarkSide - and its BlackMatter rebrand - enabled security experts to quietly decrypt many victims' files for free, saving millions in potential ransom payments.
