If you have any direct connections to #IngramMicro as a vendor, or supply chain partner, might want to check your systems: https://ir.ingrammicro.com/press-releases/detail/945/ingram-micro-issues-statement-regarding-cybersecurity-incident

I heard on a #pod this morning that they claim no customer or other external systems were compromised, and that it seems to be a "vanilla attack" rather than a nation-state (which would have been far worse). Still doesn't hurt to check with your IT teams to see if there are any indirect effects.

And awaaayyy we go! #5Ghoul is a collection of 14 vulnerabilities that affect #5G modems from a small collection of vendors, which also affect 714 phone models from a dozen manufacturers. We're looking at #DoS attacks and #Downgrade attacks against cell networks and devices running the at-risk #firmware. If properly exploited, I see a cascading effect of failure for personal phones and IoT devices alike, and cell tower modems, resulting in a complete breakdown of #CriticalInfrastructure. Talk about potential for #MassChaos.

Remember, most countries on our planet rely heavily on cellular networks rather than landlines anymore for pretty much everything, including emergency alert systems and OTA data transmission.

I recommend you #CheckForUodates regularly on your phones and tablets to ensure you can be as protected as possible from this, and the millions of other threats, that are circulating out there.

#DarkAI is a thing. I've talked about it before, and this article supports every theory I've mentioned over the years. #CyberCriminals are using #GenerativeAI to create sophisticated #BEC campaigns, #NovelMalware, and lowers the entry for new cyber criminals and especially #ScriptKiddies or people with zero technical experience to create and commit malicious fraud campaigns against a much wider swath of targets than ever before. The ONLY way to combat these emerging threats is through user awareness trainings and a #DefenseInDepth approach to your security platform for #EnterpriseSecurity. For yourselves personally - invest in a solid #antivirus solution, whether that's Microsoft's #Defender (consumer version), or a platform like #Avast who is affordable, very good, and works on desktop and mobile. You also want to look into a #VPN to protect your data streams. These DarkAI's aren't here to play, they are here to cause chaos. #BeCyberAware #BeCyberSafe and #DontGetPhished!!
