Following a string of hacks that have affected domestic companies since 2022, Australian gold producer Evolution Mining revealed a cyberattack this week. Although Evolution only gave a few facts, the assault was stopped and reported to the Australian Cyber Security Centre. The nation has stepped up defences with more financing for law enforcement and mandated reporting procedures to combat an understaffed cybersecurity industry. In June 2023, cybercrime complaints increased by nearly 25% despite an increase in average victim expenses of 14%. Optus, Woolworths, Medibank, and Shells Australian division are other impacted businesses. Evolution said there would be no appreciable operational impact from the event. Read More..

Critical zeroday vulnerabilities in Ciscos endoflife SPA 300 and SPA 500 series IP phones have prompted a warning from the company. With CVSS v3.1 scores as high as 9.8, these vulnerabilities, which include buffer overflows and insufficient HTTP packet checks, might provide remote attackers the ability to execute arbitrary commands or cause denial of service. Cisco has not offered these devices any patches or mitigating techniques. Upgrading to more recent, supported models, such as the Cisco IP Phone 8841 or phones from the Cisco 6800 series, is encouraged. Cisco provides a Technology Migration Program for tradeins and credit towards new equipment. Customers can get advice by contacting Ciscos Technical Assistance Centre. Read More..

Users can publish text and video updates on a map depending on their position using Instagrams new function, akin to Snapchats Snap Maps. This function presents privacy issues and is currently undergoing restricted testing. Thanks to the platforms tighter privacy settings than Snap Maps, Instagram users may share their location with preselected groups, including "Close Friends" or followers who follow them back. Speaking on behalf of Meta, Christine Pai underlined user autonomy and safety, adding that locationsharing settings are optional. Notwithstanding Instagrams history of incorporating features from rival apps like Stories and Reels, the new map feature has the potential to influence user privacy and engagement significantly, contingent on how it is ultimately implemented.

GPS Spoofing Attacks Mislead Aircraft, Increasing Near Conflict Zones

Cybersecurity experts alert us to a marked increase in GPS "spoofing" assaults, which may fool planes about their whereabouts and interfere with onboa

Cybersecurity experts alert us to a marked increase in GPS "spoofing" assaults, which may fool planes about their whereabouts and interfere with onboard equipment. OPSGROUP notes a 400% rise in occurrences, particularly near conflict areas. False GPS data is transmitted by groundbased devices, which also confuse drones, missiles, and commercial aeroplanes. GPS spoofing delivers phoney signals that seriously complicate matters and lead to navigation mistakes without causing crashes. Cybersecurity expert Ken Munro cited instances in which spoofing changed airline clocks, interfering with secure connections. For example, in April, spoofing attacks claimed on nearby Russia forced Finnair to suspend flights to Tartu, Estonia. These assaults bring minute mistakes that have the potential to compound, increasing aviation danger. Read More..

Researchers Discover Phishing Attack Leveraging Google Drawings for Fake Amazon Login Pages

Researchers have discovered a phishing attempt that uses abbreviated URLs created by WhatsApp and Google Drawings to avoid detection. The first step in the assault is a phishing email that poses as an Amazon verification link and directs recipients to a Google Drawings image. By using trusted services, this technique gets over security filters. Links in the image direct viewers to a phoney Amazon login page—a site created to obtain login credentials and private data—via URL shorteners. Victims are sent to an authentic Amazon login page once their information has been obtained. Researchers have also found a weakness in Microsoft 365s antiphishing defences users are more vulnerable to phishing attempts when security warnings are hidden using CSS tactics. Microsoft has not yet resolved this problem. Read More..

GhostWrite Vulnerability in THead RISCV CPUs Allows Full Device Takeover

According to research from the CISPA Helmholtz Centre, tHead Semiconductor, an Alibaba subsidiary, has RISCV processors that have serious security vul

According to research from the CISPA Helmholtz Centre, tHead Semiconductor, an Alibaba subsidiary, has RISCV processors that have serious security vulnerabilities. GhostWrite, the most severe vulnerability, impacts specific CPU cores, giving malicious apps the ability to read, write, and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges, thus seizing complete control of the device. Memory protection techniques are circumvented by this vulnerability caused by flawed instructions in the CPUs vector extension. Performance will be significantly impacted, but the only solution is to turn off the vector extension. To stop such vulnerabilities from being exploited, our findings—which will be presented at the Black Hat conference—highlight the necessity of improved security measures in RISCV installation.
