This podcast will give you a summary of the latest news related to cyber intelligence and proactive cyber security in only a few minutes. The podcast is aimed at professionals who are short on time, or for anyone who would like to know a bit more about what is REALLY happening out there in the cyber world. The focus of this podcast will be on the latest cyber events for non-technical people; anyone can listen and understand. https://news.nucleon.sh/2021/06/30/cyber-news-update-67/ ---- Several Japanese government agencies reportedly suffered data breaches originating from Fujitsu's information sharing tool they were using. The platform is a cloud-based enterprise collaboration and file-sharing platform launched in the mid-2000s. Fujitsu had earlier disclosed that hackers gained unauthorized access to the system and stole customer data. The computer emergency response team is still investigating and trying to determine if government agencies were targeted or the incident was a software supply chain attack. Investigators said that the cyber attack affected the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport, Tourism, the Cabinet Secretariat, and the Narita International Airport. The National Cyber Security Center said that hackers accessed 76,000 email addresses and email system settings through Fujitsu's file-sharing tool. They exfiltrated flight schedules, air traffic control data, and business operations data from the Narita Airport. Similarly, study materials from Japan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs were exposed. Japan's Cabinet Secretariat's national cybersecurity center advised government agencies and critical infrastructure organizations relying on Fujitsu's information-sharing tool to check for indicators of compromise. The Fujitsu hacking incident was the second affecting Japan's government agencies in a month. In April, hackers compromised Solito's file-sharing server that affected Japan's Prime Minister's office. Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Katsunobu Kato, said that cyber attacks on Japan's critical infrastructure were expected during the Tokyo Olympics. He noted that his office was prepared to address such security incidents. ---- This week, The Steamship Authority of Massachusetts is asking travelers to bring cash for tickets and parking as the ferry service continues trying to recover from a ransomware attack. Customers were unable to book or change reservations online or by phone for the largest ferry service to the islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket after the cyber attack occurred. "There is no impact to the safety of vessel operations, as the issue does not affect radar or GPS functionality," the Authority said in a statement. The FBI is now taking the lead on the investigation, working in conjunction with the Coast Guard and the Massachusetts State Police Cyber Security Unit, Coast Guard First District Petty Officer Amanda Wyrick told the Cape Cod Times. This joins more and more cyber incidents where the FBI is taking the lead on the investigation as the US is starting to realize and understand that such cyber attacks are not done only for financial reasons but also in order to cause chaos and disrupt the daily lives of citizens. Ransomware attacks have become a national threat against the USA and we can see that each week the USA is starting to take more and more severe measures in order to deal with it. --- That's it for this podcast, stay safe and see you in the next podcast.
