A data breach at the Donald W. Wyatt Detention Facility in Central Falls, Rhode Island, has impacted nearly 20,700 people, far exceeding initial estimates, according to a class-action lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court last week. The breach, which occurred on Nov. 2, 2023, was initially reported to have affected show more ...
1,984 individuals. However, a recent letter from the facility included in the lawsuit reveals the number of victims could be as high as 20,693. Jacob Hellested, who applied for a job at the facility but never worked there, filed the lawsuit on July 19 after receiving notification of the breach eight months after it occurred. Wyatt Detention Facility Delayed Breach Notification The Donald W. Wyatt Detention Facility, established in 1993, was America's first publicly owned and privately operated adult secure correctional facility. The lawsuit alleges that the facility's "poor data security" led to thousands of people's personal information being posted on the dark web. This information potentially includes birthdates, phone numbers, addresses, Social Security numbers and financial data. Peter Wasylyk, Hellested's attorney, stated that the long delay in notification prevented victims from taking timely action to protect themselves. He added that the affected individuals may feel the consequences of this data breach for years to come. A letter sent to victims in July revealed that the actual number of affected individuals was significantly higher than initial estimates. According to the letter, 12,890 detainees, 185 outside vendors, and 7,618 current, former, and potential staff were affected by the breach. Facility Response and Mitigation Efforts The Central Falls Detention Facility Corporation, which operates the publicly-owned 770-bed facility, acknowledged the cyberattack in a statement. They expressed regret for any inconvenience caused and stated that eligible individuals are entitled to receive free credit monitoring at the facility's expense. The facility has partnered with a legal services company to provide five years of free Equifax credit monitoring to those affected by the breach. However, the lawsuit argues that this response is insufficient given the potential long-term impact on victims' personal and financial well-being. The facility's attorney has declined to comment further on the matter due to the ongoing litigation. The Wyatt Detention Facility, which opened in 1993, has been used by both the U.S. Marshal Service and Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency.
Researchers have uncovered a new campaign by SideWinder, a nation-state threat actor believed to originate from India that has been active since 2012. Analysis of phishing emails suggests the campaign is targeting ports and maritime facilities in the Indian Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. The attack's first stage show more ...
implies that the group is targeting Pakistan, Egypt and Sri Lanka, while the second stage indicates additional focus on Bangladesh, Myanmar, Nepal and the Maldives. Researchers believe the campaign's goal is espionage and intelligence gathering, consistent with SideWinder's previous activities. SideWinder Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures (TTPs) Researchers from BlackBerry Threat Research and Intelligence team noted that the SideWinder group has upgraded its infrastructure and tactics towards sophisticated email spear-phishing, document exploitation, and DLL side-loading techniques, designed to avoid detection and deliver targeted implants. The attack chain begins with a phishing email containing a malicious document with highly specific logos and themes familiar to targets, often related to specific port infrastructure. [caption id="attachment_84140" align="alignnone" width="1141"] Source: https://blogs.blackberry.com[/caption] One example mimicked a letter from the Port of Alexandria, while another impersonated the Red Sea Port Authority. The documents use emotionally charged language about topics like employee termination, alleged sexual harassment incidents or salary cuts to compel victims to open attachments immediately. [caption id="attachment_84138" align="alignnone" width="1137"] Source: https://blogs.blackberry.com[/caption] The document analyzed by the researchers uses a remote template injection technique exploiting the CVE-2017-0199 vulnerability to gain initial access to the target's system. The CVE-2017-0199 vulnerability, which was patched in 2017, is often exploited by threat actors in phishing campaigns. Next, a rich text format (RTF) file is used to download an additional malicious document containing shellcode to exploit the CVE-2017-11882 vulnerability upon access. The shellcode also checks the victim's system to see if it is a real environment or a virtual machine, ensuring that the attack chain remains undetected. [caption id="attachment_84137" align="alignnone" width="1095"] Source: https://blogs.blackberry.com[/caption] If the script passes the environment checks, additional JavaScript code is loaded from a remote server for execution. SideWinder Obfuscation Techniques The second stage of the attack chain utilizes an old Tor node, which is used to mask online traffic and provide anonymous web browsing. However, the delivery infrastructure for the second stage can still be identified via an 8-byte file, an RTF document returned by the C2 when outside of the targeted geographical area. The C2 also uses an old Tor node, which is used to mask online traffic and provide anonymous web browsing. However, researchers identified multiple domains with similar naming structures ready for use in the campaign. Countermeasures and Conclusion While the researchers were not able to obtain live samples of the JavaScript code delivered in the final stage of the campaign, they speculate that the goal of the operation is espionage and intelligence gathering based upon SideWinder's previous campaigns. The researchers emphasized the importance of patching systems, as SideWinder continues to exploit older vulnerabilities that have fixes available. They have also shared the following additional recommendations: Organizations that rely on Microsoft Office should take special precaution to keep all systems updated due to the exploit of CVE-2017-0199 and CVE-2017-11882 in the campaign. Employees should be trained to protect against phishing campaigns. Organizations should implement advanced email filtering solutions to protect against malicious phishing campaigns. Organizations should invest in advanced real-time threat detection and response solutions. The research team continues to monitor the threat actor's operations, such as its tooling and use of malicious files, for additional insight.
A recent federal indictment accuses Ping Li, a 59-year-old resident of Wesley Chapel, Florida, of conspiring to act as an agent of the People's Republic of China (PRC) without knowledge of the Attorney General. The charges stem from his alleged cooperation with China's Ministry of State Security (MSS) over a show more ...
decade-long period, during which he reportedly gathered sensitive information on various topics of interest to the Chinese government. Li faces a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison if convicted. Allegations of Covert Activities by Ping Li According to court documents, the PRC's Ministry of State Security (MSS) uses cooperative contacts located in countries outside of China to further their intelligence goals. These contacts assist the MSS in various ways, including conducting research on topics of interest to the PRC and providing information to the MSS. Li, a U.S. citizen who immigrated from China, allegedly worked as a cooperative contact for the MSS from since at least 2012. [caption id="attachment_83973" align="alignnone" width="2800"] Source: www.wtsp.com[/caption] In the indictment, Li is alleged to have worked for major U.S. tech companies while simultaneously serving as a "cooperative contact" for the MSS. Prosecutors claim he used anonymous online accounts to communicate with Chinese intelligence officers and even traveled to China for in-person meetings. The scope of Li's alleged activities is broad. He's accused of providing information on Chinese dissidents, pro-democracy activists, and practitioners of Falun Gong – a spiritual movement banned in China. Falun Gong is a controversial religion banned within China since 1999, and is not among the five religions officially recognized by the Chinese government. Practitioners of the religion are of particular focus by the Chinese government, as it has been deemed to be subversive and contrary to state interests. However, these charges against Li have been labelled as alleged, and the press statement includes the below disclaimer: An indictment is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. Corporate Espionage Concerns The indictment also raises alarms about potential corporate espionage. Li allegedly shared information about his employers, including details about a U.S. telecommunications company's operations in China and materials from an international IT firm where he later worked. In a particularly concerning allegation, Li is accused of providing Chinese intelligence with information about hacking events targeting U.S. companies, including a high-profile breach attributed to the Chinese government. This information is alleged to include materials relating to cybersecurity training and readiness of these companies. According to the press release on the official justice.gov site, the information requested from the MSS over the years spanning 2012 to 2022 include: An MSS officer requested in August 2012 for information on the practitioners of Falun Gong within the United States. In March 2015, Li was asked to provide details about his U.S. telecommunications employer's branch offices in China. He reportedly complied within three weeks. Two years later, in March 2017, an MSS officer requested a training instruction plan. Li allegedly uploaded the materials to a shared online account the following month, instructing the officer to delete them after review. May 2021 saw a request for information on hacking incidents targeting U.S. companies, including a high-profile breach attributed to the Chinese government. Li purportedly delivered this information within four days. In March 2022, Li was asked about his new employer, an international IT company, and for cybersecurity training materials. He allegedly provided this information on the same day. The most recent request, in June 2022, concerned an individual who had fled China for the U.S. Li reportedly responded with information about the property owners at the suspected U.S. address. The case is under ongoing investigation from the FBI and is an example of the difficulty in countering foreign suspected espionage activities within the United States against individuals with U.S. citizenship employed as seasoned professionals.
In a significant blow to data privacy, BMW has reported a major data breach affecting approximately 14,000 customers in Hong Kong. The BMW data breach first flagged to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data on July 18, 2024, has raised serious concerns among affected individuals and sparked an show more ...
investigation by local privacy authorities. On Thursday, BMW Concessionaires (HK), the exclusive distributor of BMW vehicles in Hong Kong, revealed that sensitive information belonging to around 14,000 of its customers had been exposed. This includes names, mobile numbers, and SMS opt-out preferences, reported South China Morning Post. The company disclosed that the compromised data was managed by a third-party contractor, Sanuker, which had alerted both the police and the privacy watchdog about the BMW data leak. Details of the BMW Data Breach Michael Gazeley, a cybersecurity expert and BMW iX electric vehicle owner, expressed his frustration over the handling of the situation. Gazeley criticized BMW for its lack of direct communication with affected customers, noting that the company had only posted a brief notice on its website. “It’s a pretty serious breach where a lot of confidential data has gone,” Gazeley remarked. “There could be all sorts of consequences for fraud and scams based on the customer information.” The Office of the Privacy Commissioner for Personal Data is currently investigating the incident. While the investigation is ongoing, the watchdog has not yet received any formal complaints or inquiries related to the breach. The agency had advised BMW to inform affected individuals promptly, but there has been significant public dissatisfaction with the company's response. In addition to the recent breach, there has been a concerning history of BMW cyberattacks and data breaches. Earlier in February 2024, a separate security lapse exposed sensitive internal information. This incident involved a misconfigured cloud storage server hosted on Microsoft Azure. Security researcher Can Yoleri discovered the exposed data while scanning the internet, revealing private keys and internal data files from BMW’s development environment. Previous Data Breaches at BMW Yoleri highlighted that the misconfiguration of the cloud storage bucket made it publicly accessible instead of private. The exposed data included access credentials for BMW’s cloud services in multiple regions, including China, Europe, and the United States. The exact duration of the exposure remains unclear, leaving a significant gap in understanding the full extent of the breach. [caption id="attachment_83998" align="alignnone" width="1536"] Source: Dark Web[/caption] Adding to the alarm, the hacker group known as 888 claimed responsibility for the data leak. According to reports on BreachForums, a notorious hacking forum, 888 made the stolen data publicly available on July 15, 2024. This data dump included detailed personal information such as salutations, surnames, first names, mobile numbers, and SMS opt-out preferences of BMW customers in Hong Kong. In response to the latest data breach, BMW has stated that it is taking the privacy of its customers very seriously. The company has committed to enhancing its data security measures to prevent future incidents. BMW has also emphasized its ongoing efforts to bolster the security of its systems and protect customer data from unauthorized access.
According to Microsoft, the blue screen incident caused by a CrowdStrike Falcon security solution update affected more than 8.5 million computers worldwide.

no one is immune to errors; its simply impossible to guarantee the complete absence of bugs in complex software systems. However, a properly structured process for developing, testing, and delivering products and their updates to users devices can significantly minimize the risk of a serious failure. And weve had such a process firmly in place for years. We, too, had incidents directly related to updates for our products. But the last time we had a notable problem of the kind was back way in 2013. After that unpleasant episode, we conducted a thorough analysis of the root causes — leading to a complete overhaul of our approach to the creation and testing of updates both in products for business and home users. And the system we built has proven itself to be very reliable: in 11 years weve not had a single failure of a similar magnitude. We make no secret of the update release mechanisms weve built, and are ready to share them with the industry. After all, without the free exchange of best practices and solutions developed by different companies, progress in the cybersecurity industry will be hindered greatly. Among the main update release safeguarding mechanisms are multi-level testing, gradual rollout of updates, and automatic monitoring of anomalies. Lets talk about them in detail. Multi-level testing There are two types of updates for our products — some are used for adding new detection logic, and some are for changing the functionality of a given product. Adding new functions potentially adds more risks, but sometimes logic updates can cause problems as well. Therefore, we carefully test both types of updates at different stages. Checking for false positives When creating and releasing detection rules (both those automatically generated and those written by analysts), we test them on an extensive database of legitimate (or clean) objects — files, web pages, behavior patterns, and so on. This way, false positives are identified and filtered out. Weve an extensive and constantly updated collection of legitimate objects — both software and clean web resources — on which all created rules are tested. One of the ways this collection is replenished is through our Allowlist Program, which allows software developers (both customers that develop and use their own solutions and independent vendors) to provide us with their software. This reduces the number of potential false positives and the risk of incorrect software classification. Other methods for obtaining files and metadata include exchanging information with technological partners, using our Threat Intelligence Portal, and so on. In total, our database of legitimate objects contains information on around 7.2 billion objects. Testing on virtual machines But update testing isnt limited to checking them on file collections. If no problems are detected at the first stage, all updated components then undergo multi-stage automatic testing on virtual machines with various configurations of security products, software and operating systems. Various scenarios are run related to our products and the operation of security mechanisms and also the imitation of typical user actions. Regarding specifically product scenarios, these include a through file system scan, the process of the product updates installation, rebooting after the update, and so on. This allows us to make sure that the product functions normally after the update, and neither crashes nor affects system stability. Each update goes through this check. User scenarios simulate typical human behavior on a computer — opening a browser, visiting a web page, downloading a file, launching a program. This check allows us to make sure the product doesnt have a negative impact on the computers performance, speed of work or stability. Separately, updates are automatically tested for compatibility with industrial software (for example, SCADA systems). Any negative impact on solutions related to this sphere may lead to an inadmissible halt in production processes and potential financial damage. Quality control In addition to the above-mentioned checks, we also have a separate quality control team. Not a single product update release is delivered to our clients without confirmation of its readiness by its experts. It also, if necessary, adjusts and constantly improves the verification processes, and monitors the emergence of possible operational risks. Phased release of updates of protective technologies Of course, we are realists, and admit that this entire multi-level system of checks may still not be enough. For example, some third-party software will be updated at the same time as ours, and this may cause an unforeseen conflict. And in general, its impossible to predict all combinations of configurations of different programs and systems. Therefore, after an update affecting the functionality of security solutions is ready and approved, it doesnt get sent to all our users computers at once. Instead, the updates are released in phases. An update undergoes preliminary testing on machines in our own network before being published on public update servers. If no problems are detected, the update is first received by a very small number of randomly selected users. If no problems or failures are manifested, then the number of computers that receive the update gradually increases at certain intervals, and so on until the update is available to all users. Automatic anomaly monitoring So what happens if an update does cause problems? We monitor the behavior of updated solutions using voluntarily transmitted anonymized data through our KSN, and promptly halt update distribution if something goes wrong. But most importantly, thanks to the combination of automatic anomaly monitoring and phased release of updates, an error would affect only a very small number of computers — hundreds, not millions or even thousands of them. Testing updates on the client side Our company provides the ability to check the received updates once again, only this time on the client side through the Kaspersky Security Center management console. The clients system administrators can establish an isolated test group of computers (or virtual machines) with the most common configuration and set of software for the organizations network, and then create a task to check updates — specifying this test group as the target. In this case all incoming updates are first installed only on test machines, tested in action, and only after the test are they distributed across the entire company network. More information on how to set up such a check can be found on our technical support website. We thoroughly analyze each and every problem related to software updates that may arise (including those identified in preliminary tests), come to understand the reasons for their occurrence, and then take measures to ensure they dont happen again. In addition, weve implemented a practice of proactively identifying and assessing the risks for possible problems, and address them systematically. As a result of doing this throughout the entire lifetime of our company, weve established a multi-level system that allows us to significantly reduce the risk of new problems emerging. Of course, in just one blog post its impossible to tell you everything about all the nuances of our multi-level system for checking product updates. However, if this topic arouses interest in the industry, were ready to continue sharing details. Only open cooperation of all players in the information security sphere can create an effective barrier to the actions of cybercriminals.

Google says it recently fixed an authentication weakness that allowed crooks to circumvent the email verification required to create a Google Workspace account, and leverage that to impersonate a domain holder at third-party services that allow logins through Google’s “Sign in with Google” feature. show more ...
Last week, KrebsOnSecurity heard from a reader who said they received a notice that their email address had been used to create a potentially malicious Workspace account that Google had blocked. “In the last few weeks, we identified a small-scale abuse campaign whereby bad actors circumvented the email verification step in our account creation flow for Email Verified (EV) Google Workspace accounts using a specially constructed request,” the notice from Google read. “These EV users could then be used to gain access to third-party applications using ‘Sign In with Google’.” In response to questions, Google said it fixed the problem within 72 hours of discovering it, and that the company has added additional detection to protect against these types of authentication bypasses going forward. Anu Yamunan, director of abuse and safety protections at Google Workspace, told KrebsOnSecurity the malicious activity began in late June, and involved “a few thousand” Workspace accounts that were created without being domain-verified. Google Workspace offers a free trial that people can use to access services like Google Docs, but other services such as Gmail are only available to Workspace users who can validate control over the domain name associated with their email address. The weakness Google fixed allowed attackers to bypass this validation process. Google emphasized that none of the affected domains had previously been associated with Workspace accounts or services. “The tactic here was to create a specifically-constructed request by a bad actor to circumvent email verification during the signup process,” Yamunan said. “The vector here is they would use one email address to try to sign in, and a completely different email address to verify a token. Once they were email verified, in some cases we have seen them access third party services using Google single sign-on.” Yamunan said none of the potentially malicious workspace accounts were used to abuse Google services, but rather the attackers sought to impersonate the domain holder to other services online. In the case of the reader who shared the breach notice from Google, the imposters used the authentication bypass to associate his domain with a Workspace account. And that domain was tied to his login at several third-party services online. Indeed, the alert this reader received from Google said the unauthorized Workspace account appears to have been used to sign in to his account at Dropbox. Google said the now-fixed authentication bypass is unrelated to a recent issue involving cryptocurrency-based domain names that were apparently compromised in their transition to Squarespace, which last year acquired more than 10 million domains that were registered via Google Domains. On July 12, a number of domains tied to cryptocurrency businesses were hijacked from Squarespace users who hadn’t yet set up their Squarespace accounts. Squarespace has since published a statement blaming the domain hijacks on “a weakness related to OAuth logins”, which Squarespace said it fixed within hours.
