O setor da saúde, tradicionalmente associado à proteção e ao cuidado, tornou-se alvo de cibercriminosos. Hospitais, clínicas e provedores de serviços médicos enfrentam ataques que vão além de simples problemas tecnológicos, configurando ameaças reais à vida de milhões de pessoas. Em particular, o setor da saúde na América Latina desponta em terceiro lugar na lista dos mais atacados deste ano, enquanto os Estados Unidos permanecem no topo desde 2023. No Brasil já foram registrados 106 mil ataques somente em 2024. Quando se fala desses ataques, esqueça os clichês de hackers encapuzados em porões escuros. Os grupos de ransomware modernos são verdadeiras organizações especializadas. Essas redes criminosas constantemente refinam as suas estratégias, explorando brechas e vulnerabilidades com precisão cirúrgica. Leia a matéria completa em: https://lnkd.in/d-jwamPE

The US Treasury Department has sanctioned the Chinese company Sichuan Silence and its employee Guan Tianfeng for participating in the Ragnarok ransomware attacks in April 2020, which targeted US critical infrastructure companies and other global organizations. Sichuan Silence, based in Chengdu, is a government contractor that offers network exploitation, password cracking, email monitoring and public demonstration suppression services, often collaborating with Chinese intelligence services. The attacks exploited a zero-day vulnerability discovered by Guan in Sophos XG firewalls *(CVE-2020-12271)*, allowing the compromise of approximately 81,000 devices worldwide, including 23,000 in the US. Among the targets in the US were 36 devices protecting critical infrastructure, including an energy company whose drilling operations could have caused significant human losses had the attack not been thwarted. The actions included data theft, such as user credentials, and attempts to infect systems with the Ragnarok ransomware. After the attacks were identified and mitigated by Sophos with a patch and removal of malicious scripts, the hackers activated a “dead man switch”, unleashing ransomware attacks against Windows machines connected to the victims' networks.

Peter Warmka, CFE, CPP, a former CIA agent and founder of the Counterintelligence Institute, sheds light on a critical aspect of cybersecurity in the Human Hacking and AI Intelligence webinar, hosted by Apura Cyber Corp in partnership with Bumblebee Communications, LLC. This unique event, held on November 19, brought together experts in human and cyber intelligence to discuss building robust defenses against digital threats. Panelists included Peter Warmka, CFE, CPP, a human intelligence expert, and Mauricio Paranhos, a cyber intelligence leader, with Maria Velasquez as the moderator. Warmka highlights that hackers don’t just target systems; they exploit people through social engineering, manipulating human behavior to access sensitive information or compromise entire organizations. These tactics range from advanced methods, like ransomware, to simpler approaches, such as analyzing social media photos to uncover vulnerabilities (e.g., badges, passwords on sticky notes, or behavioral patterns). He emphasizes the importance of holistic security policies that protect systems, educate employees, and safeguard client data, as everyone in an organization is a potential target. This webinar is ideal for cybersecurity leaders and professionals seeking a solid foundation in digital security and fraud prevention. Don’t miss this opportunity to strengthen your knowledge.
