Welcome to this episode of the Security Weekly News, where we dive into the latest threats and trends in the world of cybersecurity. In this special episode, we're taking a closer look at some of the most significant security breaches and vulnerabilities that have been making headlines recently.
Tapjacking: The Rise of Social Engineering Attacks
One of the most concerning topics we're discussing today is tapjacking, also known as social engineering attacks. These types of attacks involve tricking victims into revealing sensitive information, such as login credentials or financial data, through phishing emails, fake phone calls, or even in-person interactions.
We'll be talking to some of the top experts in the field about the latest techniques being used by hackers to carry out these types of attacks, and what organizations can do to protect themselves.
ZuChe: The Latest Phishing Scam
Another topic we're covering is ZuChe, a phishing scam that's been making waves in recent weeks. This scam involves sending fake emails that appear to be from reputable companies, such as banks or online retailers, and asking victims to verify their account information.
We'll break down the tactics being used by hackers to carry out this type of attack, and how organizations can spot and prevent these types of scams.
PerfektBlue: A New Type of Malware
We're also taking a closer look at PerfektBlue, a new type of malware that's been discovered in recent weeks. This malware is designed to evade detection by traditional antivirus software, and can cause significant damage to an organization's network.
We'll be discussing the characteristics of this malware, how it spreads, and what organizations can do to protect themselves from infection.
McHacking: A Growing Concern
Mechanical (Mc) hacking is a type of attack that involves using compromised devices to carry out malicious activities. This type of attack has been on the rise in recent months, and we'll be discussing the latest tactics being used by hackers.
We'll also talk about how organizations can protect themselves from this type of attack, including steps they can take to secure their networks and devices.
OT in the IT: A Growing Concern
The intersection of operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) is a growing concern for organizations. As OT systems become more connected to the internet, they're becoming increasingly vulnerable to cyber threats.
We'll be discussing the latest developments in this area, including the types of attacks being carried out against OT systems, and what organizations can do to protect themselves.
Add Ons: Keeping Your Software Up-to-Date
Finally, we're taking a closer look at add-ons - software modules that are designed to enhance the functionality of other applications. These types of add-ons can sometimes be a security risk if they're not installed or updated properly.
We'll be discussing the importance of keeping your software up-to-date, including how to identify and install legitimate add-ons, and what steps you can take to avoid installing malicious add-ons.
Josh Marpet: A Security Expert
We're also joined by Josh Marpet, a security expert who's been making waves in the cybersecurity community with his insights on the latest threats and trends. We'll be talking to Josh about his thoughts on the state of cybersecurity today, and what organizations can do to improve their defenses.
