**Security Weekly News #547**
Welcome to another episode of the Security Weekly News podcast network, where we dive into the latest happenings in the world of cybersecurity. In this episode, we'll be discussing a range of topics that will keep you informed and on your toes.
We begin with some shocking news about a familiar name - Miss Cleo. For those who may not remember, Miss Cleo was a popular phone psychic service back in the early 2000s, known for its over-the-top advertisements and questionable claims of psychic abilities. But it seems that Miss Cleo is back in the news, this time as part of a new ransomware campaign targeting telecommunications companies.
According to recent reports, the group behind the campaign is using a tool called Whisperpair, which allows them to target specific vulnerabilities in network devices and gain access to sensitive data. But that's not all - the attackers are also using another tool called Fortisiem, which helps them evade detection by security systems.
Another topic we'll be discussing today is REDVDS, a new threat group that has been linked to some high-profile attacks in recent months. REDVDS stands for "Russian Evil Developers Vulnerability Discovery Squad," and as the name suggests, this group is made up of skilled developers who are using their talents to exploit vulnerabilities in software.
But REDVDS isn't the only group making headlines - Google has also been under fire recently after it was revealed that the company had been collecting sensitive data from its users without consent. The incident has raised questions about the ethics of data collection and whether companies have a responsibility to protect their users' privacy.
And in other news, we'll be talking to Rob Allen from ThreatLocker about some new developments in the world of cybersecurity. From zero-day exploits to sophisticated phishing attacks, Rob will give us an insider's look at what's happening on the front lines and how companies can protect themselves against these threats.
