In this gripping episode of Exploit Brokers, we delve deep into the intricate world of cryptocurrency and cybersecurity. Our journey begins with the astonishing SEC Twitter hack, where hackers manipulated the SEC's account to spread false information about Bitcoin ETF approvals. This led to a monumental $2,000 surge in Bitcoin prices, leaving the crypto community in awe. We dissect the attack and explore the potential motives behind this mind-bending sequence of events. Our attention then shifts to North Korea's state-sponsored hackers who have managed to pilfer atleast an astounding $600 million in cryptocurrencies throughout 2023. Despite a 30% reduction from 2022 crypto theft, North Korea remains a major player in the crypto theft game, responsible for nearly a third of all funds stolen in crypto attacks last year. We dive into their sophisticated tactics, money laundering methods, and the constant battle they wage against law enforcement agencies, posing a significant challenge to businesses and governments worldwide. Finally, we turn our focus to NoaBot, the latest Mirai-based botnet making waves in the cyber world. Targeting SSH servers for cryptocurrency mining since the beginning of 2023, NoahBot stands out with its wormable self-spreader capability. We explore its tactics, including SSH brute-forcing and the creation of SSH public keys for remote access, shedding light on the evolving landscape of cyber threats.

You've probably encountered phishing emails or computer viruses. Or maybe one or more of your accounts has been hacked or compromised. How and why do hackers hack and what are they generally seeking? Our guest this week points out that understanding the answers to those questions is essential for making sense of the psychological, economic, political and social effects of cybercrime. Scott Shapiro is Southmayd Professor of Law and Professor of Philosophy at Yale Law School. He is the author of a new book called, “Fancy Bear Goes Phishing: The Dark History of the Information Age, in Five Extraordinary Hacks.” The book dives into five historical examples, one of which involves its namesake, Fancy Bear, a Russian cyberintelligence unit responsible for hacking the Democratic National Convention. Shapiro joins WITHpod to discuss some of the biggest inflection points in the history of hacking, why the internet is so vulnerable, the role that generative AI may place in future cybercrime and his thoughts on if we should really be concerned about cyberwar.

We're joined this week by Quentyn Taylor, CISO for Canon Europe. Odds are that you might have had your hands on a Canon camera or printer at one point in your life, and if you’ve ever had a security related query about their products in Europe, it’s Quentyn’s team who you would have spoken to. That's because as well as protecting Canon, the cybersecurity team are also customer centric, which is a really interesting story.Quentyn also talks to Hazel about missing those "in person" meetings and how he's trying to overcome the virtual hurdle. Plus we discuss the skills and qualities that he looks for in his team members, and why firing the CISO immediately after a data breach is rarely the best course of action. We then end our interview as all interviews should: with a spot of cybersecurity cocktail making.Check out Quentyn's Security Insights video series here: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=security+insightsIn the non studio studio, Ben and Noureen fill us in on the last couple of weeks of hacker news, including what Cozy Bear have allegedly been up to.And for 'On this Day' we take the DeLorean back to 2016, to explore the story behind the Mirai botnet. We discuss the chaos that was caused when certain networked devices running Linux were turned into remotely controlled bots that were then used in large-scale network attacks. Don't miss our next episode, which is an election special! We'll be welcoming several special guests, to help us discuss where America stands with election security heading into November's general election.

What happens when online squabbles over a video game get so powerful that they take down the entire internet? Well, that’s a question we don't need to ask since it actually happened! On our last episode of 2019, we cover the Mirai Botnet. A hacking tool invented to hack servers for a small indie game called Minecraft. Join us as we tell you about how small fights over independently run game servers led to billions if not trillions of dollars in corporate damages.

Embedded in an increasing number of the devices and objects surrounding us, computers are turning the everyday world into a radically programmable attack surface. This is the subject of computer security & cryptography legend Bruce Schneier (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruce_Schneier?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss) ‘s latest book, Click Here To Kill Everybody (https://www.schneier.com/books/click_here/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss) . In this episode we meet up with Bruce to explore how the profusion of insecure devices, capable of being put to a variety of unpredictable purposes, is radically shifting the balance of power. Via cyberattacks, smaller states get the ability to content with the great powers — and an entirely new class of ‘non-state actors’ are being granted the power to disrupt nations. Phenomena like the Mirai Botnet (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirai_(malware)?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss) , Bruce argues, are just the beginning: we discuss a host of potential attacks on life and property, from car and thermostat hacking to ransomware against hospitals — and how ‘surveillance capitalism’ is one of the most important vectors behind this worrying new paradigm.

This week on The 443 – Security Simplified, we talk about the recently-sentenced authors of the Mirai Botnet and other cybercriminals that became FBI consultants. We then break down three of the most sophisticated cyber-attacks on the last decade. From Stuxnet to Operation Aurora, we'll dive in to exactly what made these attacks so successful.
The three college-age defendants behind the creation of the Mirai botnet—an online tool that wreaked destruction across the internet in the fall of 2016 with unprecedentedly powerful distributed denial of service attacks—will stand in an Alaska courtroom Tuesday and ask for a novel ruling from a federal judge: They hope to be sentenced to work for the FBI.
We now know who’s behind the Mirai Botnet. What is a botnet? It is a network of compromised IOT devices and unsecured computers and routers that is controlled by a few central servers that hackers use to attack more devices, and eventually take down other networks and websites through a DDOS attack. The Mirai botnet […] The post Episode 6 – the Mirai Botnet & Spectre and Meltdown Attacks appeared first on Serious About Tech.

In Episode 8 of Hidden Forces, host Demetri Kofinas speaks with cybersecurity expert and cyber safety advocate, Josh Corman. Josh is the founder of I am The Cavalry, an advocacy group actively engaged in addressing some of the most pressing issues of public safety and threats to human life on the Internet today. He is also the Director of the Cyber Statecraft Initiative at the Atlantic Council. Josh Corman is part of the 2016 Cybersecurity Task Force commissioned by the United States Congress to address the growing risk to our hospitals, medical infrastructure, and connected devices, from cyber-attacks. Gone are the quaint, innocent days of the early Internet, with its pesky Trojan’s, Macro Viruses, RATs, slammer worms, and blaster worms. Today’s cybersecurity landscape features a wide assortment of easily accessible and robust attack tools that exploit software bugs like Shellshock and Heartbleed. This is a cybersecurity landscape littered with DDoS and PDoS attacks like the Mirai Botnet and the recently released Brickerbot. The use of ransomware tools like CryptoLocker and SamSam have become billion-dollar criminal industries. Cybercrime is estimated to cost the global economy hundreds of billions to trillions of dollars a year. Yet, we accept the losses as the simple cost of doing business. But what about when the cost of these crimes escalates from dollars and cents to flesh and blood? What are the risks to our industrial control systems? What about our aviation and emergency response infrastructure? What are the vulnerabilities in our connected devices, cars, and hospitals? The threats posed by cyber criminals, terrorists, and hackers are no longer fringe concerns. They strike at the heart of our increasingly interconnected, exposed, and vulnerable society. In this episode, we explore what to do about them. Producer & Host: Demetri Kofinas Editor & Engineer: Stylianos Nicolaou Join the conversation on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter at @hiddenforcespod
This week, we discuss suspicious activity on online National Lottery players’ accounts, 900,000 Deutsche Telekom routers knocked offline by the Mirai botnet, and a ransomware attack on the San Francisco transport system.
In today's podcast, we hear about how military, law enforcement cooperation are taking a toll of ISIS cyber operators. President Obama says the US elections weren't affected by hackers. DDoS in Brussels and Ireland remain under investigation. A Mirai botnet is available for rent on the cyber black market. ATM skimmers threaten holiday users—and the new inset skimmers are tough to detect. Ransomware hits San Francisco light rail (so the Muni lets passengers ride free). Booz Allen's Brad Medairy walks us through the Ukraine grid hack. Emily Wilson from Terbium Labs describes how they celebrate the holidays in the Dark Web. And no, Anthony Bourdain's foodie show wasn't hacked to get banned in Boston
Botnets have a massive influence on the Internet. As we have seen recently with the Mirai Botnet, IOT bots can take down companies as big as Netflix. In our recent episodes about advertising fraud, we’ve talked about how bots are being used to take billions of dollars of revenue from advertisers. Derek Muller is one The post Botnet Facebook Likes with Derek Muller appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.
On this episode we talk about the mirai botnet and get a bit off topic.
In today's podcast, we hear about how Liberia has sustained a significant DDoS attack (Mirai is behind it). Linux/Moose is also on the IoT loose. Hospitals in the UK continue to recover from ransomware attacks. Anonymous doesn't like ISIS, but it also doesn't like the governments who are fighting the Caliphate. Exaspy malware targets business leaders' Android phones. A new joint venture is poised to become a mid-major in the cyber security sector. Accenture Technology Labs' Malek Ben Salem explains developments in redactable blockchain. AT&T CSO Bill O'Hern provides his perspective on current and coming cyber security challenges. And an update on election hacking—it's more of the same, with more coming.

This week, we discuss theMirai botnet DDoS attack that affected the Dyn Managed DNS service and, with it, many household names, plus mega breaches compromising the personal data of millions of Weebly, Modern Business Solutions and FourSquare users.
In today's podcast we hear about some who think that IoT botnets may be best considered an instance of a more general problem with poorly secured endpoints. Good digital hygiene can be good digital citizenship. IoT device recalls follow the DDoS against Dyn. Attribution of the attacks remains up in the air—Clapper looks at "multinational hackers, Jester looks at Russia (and Russia looks at Jester and sees Vice President Biden), and yes, John McAfee is looking at North Korea. Joe Carrigan from The Johns Hopkins University's Information Security Institute inventories IoT devices, and Malcolm Harkins from Cylance shares his thoughts on taking risks.
AT&T Data Security analysts discuss massive DDoS attack using hacked cameras, Mirai Botnet, Android Hacker's Handbook, risky passwords, Mr. Robot, and the Internet Weather Report. Originally recorded October 4, 2016.
In today's podcast we discuss the consensus that Guccifer 2.0 didn't actually hack the Clinton Foundation. We hear how information operations might work during an election. The arrested NSA contractor's alleged motives remain unclear. The Mirai botnet got its exploitable vulnerabilities by downstream propagation of default credentials. The US Surgeon General discloses a breach. Dr. Charles Clancy from Virginia Tech's Hume Center considers policy statements from US presidential candidates. Joyce Brocaglia tells us about the Executive Women's Forum. And if you have a hard time listening to us, you may be suffering from "security fatigue." Don't believe us—take it from NIST.
In today's podcast we hear about cyber conflict and its place in the international order, including especially its place in Russian-American relations. The implications of the Mirai botnet and the release of its source code. Kaspersky breaks the MarsJoke crypto ransomware. Russia indicates a crackdown on cybercrime (maybe). Ben Yelin from UMD CHHS explains changes the FBI wants to Rule 41. Igor Volovich from ROMAD Cyber Systems thinks is time to think beyond malware signature matching. Industry notes, and, from the black market, the Shadow Brokers still haven't found their ideal buyers.
