HSBC Injects $4 Billion Into Private Credit Funds Amid Market Expansion

With a $4 billion investment into its private credit funds, HSBC hopes to increase its market share in the $2 trillion worldwide private credit indust

With a $4 billion investment into its private credit funds, HSBC hopes to increase its market share in the $2 trillion worldwide private credit industry. The money will be invested in alternative credit funds managed by HSBC Asset Management, which hopes to raise outside funding to create a $50 billion credit fund in five years. Given the fall in revenues from traditional lending, HSBCs action is consistent with a larger trend of banks expanding into private loans. CEO Georges Elhedery positioned HSBC against private equity behemoths like Ares Management and Blackstone by emphasising the move towards higherreturning investments. Direct lending in the UK and Asia will be the primary focus of the funds global deployment. Read More..

Apple Safari Security Flaw Exposes Users to Fullscreen BitM Attacks

Cybercriminals can utilise the Fullscreen API to deceive users into interacting with remotecontrolled browsers that steal login credentials, thanks to

Cybercriminals can utilise the Fullscreen API to deceive users into interacting with remotecontrolled browsers that steal login credentials, thanks to a recently found security weakness in Apple Safari. Due to Safaris lack of fullscreen notifications, researchers at SquareX caution that these BrowserintheMiddle BitM attacks are especially successful since victims unintentionally enter passwords into overlays that are controlled by the attacker. Safaris sparse user interface indicators make consumers susceptible to phishing attempts, in contrast to Chrome and Firefox, which show fullscreen warnings. Apple has admitted the problem but said the current safeguards are enough and has decided not to add more security. To reduce dangers, experts advise avoiding fullscreen login prompts, checking URLs, and utilising browsernative security capabilities. Read More..

The major data leak that exposed 184 million passwords has impacted banks, social media sites, and government institutions. An unsecured database with email addresses, passwords, and login information was found online by cybersecurity researcher Jeremiah Fowler. The compromised information, which includes information from Apple, Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Instagram, and Snapchat, raises questions about fraud and identity theft. According to experts, the credentials were obtained through the use of software that steals confidential data covertly, such as Lumma Stealer. Access was restricted after Fowler notified the hosting company, but it is still unclear where the leak originated. In order to reduce risks, cybersecurity experts advise users to monitor accounts, change passwords, and enable multifactor authentication. Read More..
