A recent cyberattack by the Chinese-backed Salt Typhoon group exposed vulnerabilities in U.S. broadband providers’ wiretap systems, compromising sensitive national security data. Virtru CEO John Ackerly stresses the need to rethink the outdated standards governing wiretap security, noting that it’s not about increasing access, but ensuring tighter control over backdoor installations. #Cybersecurity #DataProtection #ZeroTrust #CALEA #DigitalSecurity

The threat actors behind the KV-botnet made "behavioral changes" to the malicious network as U.S. law enforcement began issuing commands to neutralize the activity. KV-botnet is the name given to a network of compromised small office and home office (SOHO) routers and firewall devices across the world, with one specific cluster acting as a covert data transfer system for other Chinese state-sponsored actors, including Volt Typhoon (aka Bronze Silhouette, Insidious Taurus, or Vanguard Panda). Active since at least February 2022, it was first documented by the Black Lotus Labs team at Lumen Technologies in mid-December 2023. The botnet is known to comprise two main sub-groups, viz. KV and JDY, with the latter principally used for scanning potential targets for reconnaissance. Late last month, the U.S. government announced a court-authorized disruption effort to take down the KV cluster, which is typically reserved for manual operations against high-profile targets chosen after broader scanning via the JDY sub-group. #threatactors #cybercriminals #cybersecurity #cyberawareness #cyberdefense #cyberresilience #cyberwarfare

https://lnkd.in/du3Wq4jp U.S. Officials Race to Understand Severity of China’s Salt Typhoon Hacks In letters to AT&T, Verizon and Lumen, lawmakers ask about proposed measures the companies will take to protect U.S. wiretap systems By Dustin Volz and Drew FitzGerald Oct. 11, 2024 5:30 am ET WASHINGTON—U.S. officials are racing to understand the full scope of a China-linked hack of major U.S. broadband providers, as concerns mount from members of Congress that the breach could amount to a devastating counterintelligence failure. Federal authorities and cybersecurity investigators are probing the breaches of Verizon Communications, AT&T and Lumen Technologies. A stealthy hacking group known as Salt Typhoon tied to Chinese intelligence is believed to be responsible. The compromises may have allowed hackers to access information from systems the federal government uses for court-authorized network wiretapping requests, The Wall Street Journal reported last week.

Access to a Wi-Fi network 🛜 shouldn't grant any permission to access data ‼️ Quick best practice for security by design: 1️⃣ network is NOT a factor with your (conditional) access policy, e.g. to bypass #mfa 2️⃣ continuously monitor, check & update you security posture 3️⃣ don't expose any interfaces publicly to access critical data, e.g. #VPN 4️⃣ security by obscurity don't work, e.g. IP #Whitelisting https://lnkd.in/eDmZFQCJ
