The hacking group going by the name of USDoD has stolen and posted personal records of up to 2.9 billion people from National Public Data (“NPD”) including your social security number going back 30 years. 277 gigabytes of data includes names, address histories, relatives and Social Security numbers. USDoD has been observed being directly involved in hacking, selling, and in some cases exaggerated postings in the past on CrowdStrike, the FBI InfraGard public-private partnership program, LinkedIn, Airbus, and recently SOCRadar to name a few. Records for citizens of the U.S (as well as those in the U.K. and Canada) has been seen on the resurrected criminal forum Breachforums. For sale offerings of the data for $3.5 million been seen going back to April 2024. Jerico Pictures operating as National Public Data ("NPD") is a Florida-based background-check company involved with this latest breach. The reason for this post is affected individuals are now being notified directly, several lawsuits have appeared, and for some reason there is sudden newsmedia coverage. Getting yet another year of more “credit monitoring” will only do so much. Please freeze your credit with all the major bureaus if you haven’t done this!!! Stay Safe!

Do you know that modern fraudsters do not need your physical credit card to scam you? 🕵️♀️ I just saw a post from Jordan H. who had £36,000 stolen from their business account overnight in 180 transactions of each £200. In recent years, sophisticated fraud schemes have resulted in billions of euros in losses across Europe (Source: Europol Spotlight Report, 2023). Fraudsters are becoming more adept at exploiting digital vulnerabilities. I’m not saying this to scare you, but after hearing many stories about credit card fraud, I decided to share some tips on how to stay safe: 1. Beware of phishing and Social Engineering Always verify the source of emails and messages requesting personal information or to transfer funds. Even if it comes from the CEO. Be cautious of unusual URLs and suspicious requests.🛡️ 2. Monitor and set spending limits Regularly check your balance and transactions for any suspicious transactions. With Mobilexpense, you have real-time spend visibility and you can set spending limits per period and per transaction for each card. 🕵️♀️ 3. Enable alerts and 2FA + 3DS Set up real-time transaction alerts to receive immediate notifications of each and every transaction. Also, use 2FA to login, and 3DS (typically SMS-codes) to confirm transactions 🚨 4. Use advanced card management Modern solutions should offer a mobile app to instantly freeze or block a card, as well as an online platform to manage cards, see all spend per employee and/or department, and to set business rules (e.g. geo-limits and time restrictions). This can significantly enhance security! 🌍 Think twice before issuing bank credit cards. Opt for a solution that won’t leave you with an empty account. What other modern ways you think of to keep your accounts secure? Share your tips below! Protect your business accounts and save on FX costs at the same time. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/e222-X-c

According to the bank’s memo, criminals gained access to customers’ auto account numbers, dates of birth and Social Security numbers through a vendor’s systems. It did not specify the third-party company or how many customers were affected. It's good practice to monitor your credit and have MFA on your accounts, especially financial accounts. #MFA #Cybersecurity #Creditmonitor https://lnkd.in/gQ8VTD96

There are two things business leaders need to understand about the state of payments fraud today and the threat it poses. First, the danger is not subsiding. Despite the coverage of cyber attacks in the news, and the ongoing prevention efforts of businesses, banks and law enforcement, the problem is nowhere near under control. In fact, it’s growing. Second, and this helps explain why the danger is greater — the bad guys’ capabilities are evolving. Year after year, the fraudsters are becoming much more sophisticated and formidable.
