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.

⚠️ #BOLO for a new #Smishing campaign ⚠️
This one leverages #AWS for bulk smishing attacks. The scam often takes the guise of a message from the US Postal Service (#USPS) regarding a missed package delivery. It's a malicious #python script known as #SNSSender
Here's an article with deets: https://thehackernews.com/2024/02/malicious-sns-sender-script-abuses-aws.html?_m=3n%2e009a%2e3281%2evo0ao07ax6%2e2a0q

This is a #FunFact (not): #DDoS against Environmental Services Industry surged by 61,839% in 2023. 🤯
As the article notes, I too have noticed a trend for longer and stronger DDoS attacks lately, as well as enhanced sophistication with techniques. A lot of the uptick has to do with the active wars in #Gaza and the #Ukraine, but not all of it.
""This recurring pattern underscores the growing intersection between environmental issues and #cybersecurity, a nexus that is increasingly becoming a focal point for #attackers in the digital age," the researchers said."
#CyberWarfare has been in full effect for a while now, and isn't going anywhere. It will only get worse.
Limit your #DigitalFootprint Make sure your #OpSec is on point at all times. Keep up with #EmergingTechnologies in the space so you can #secure yourself as much as you can. #BeCyberAware #StayCyberSafe

Federal Bureau of Investigation (#FBI) and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (#CISA) have put out a joint advisory on #ScatteredSpider - a #cybercriminal group that targets large companies and their contracted information technology (IT) help desks. Scattered Spider threat actors, per trusted third parties, have typically engaged in data theft for extortion and have also been known to utilize BlackCat/ALPHV ransomware alongside their usual TTPs. This advisory covers all #TTPs and provides recommendations for mitigation.
Anyone in #criticalinfrastructure who uses external IT services (#MSP) should review this advisory and create awareness with your users to #BOLO this advanced attack vector.
This crew are masters of #SocialEngineering so watch yourselves. #StayCyberSafe #BeCyberSecure

"#Cybersecurity is no longer a fringe issue — it has a seat at the #boardroom table, and if #businesses can't fill that seat, they need to make sure the person sitting there is as well-informed as possible."
"Failing to prepare is preparing to fail." One of my mentors as a teen told me this over and over again until it stuck. It definitely contributes to my overactive #paranoia of any and all digital systems, as well as authority figures (that's a different conversation lol), which is why I prepare for whatever worst-case-scenario I can imagine and guide my family through the same in this #WildWest digital frontier. #StayCyberSafe and #BeCyberSecure
