Identity has risen in the ranks to become a top attack vector for threat actors in recent years. From targeting Microsoft Active Directory (AD) to utilizing stolen credentials for privileged access, identity is now often the key to a cyber attack's success. #EndCyberRisk

If you work in infosec, don't read this post. So you're still here? Nice. Quick tip on a security posture gap you're probably not thinking about. Cyber attackers often exploit PUBLICLY available personal information to launch attacks. In light of the recent Okta breach, an actor used an employee's PERSONAL Google account to obtain credentials. DeleteMe conducts a thorough search across various online platforms, databases, and websites to remove your name, address, phone number, and other sensitive details, making it difficult for attackers to gather the information they need to impersonate you or reset your account credentials. This is a growing issue and is becoming more sophisticated, no? #privacy #databrokers #pii #cybercrime #google

How did week #5 of 2024 look like in Web3 security? In total, we suffered from $200m+ lost in hacks & exploits, only this year so far, including the hack related to Ripple and Orbit Chain. Furthermore, we see the growing significance of #AI in Cybersecurity and unfortunately, the relevance of AI used for #Cyber crime is increasing as well. That leads to the 3rd major development in Cybersecurity, that the workforce fighting Cyber crime is not only way to small for the ever-growing number of attack vectors, but the danger of burn outs among Cybersecurity specialists is becoming a real threat as well due to increasing stress. More details can be found in our Weekly Recap below:

Personal genomics company 23andMe confirmed that user data from its platform has been circulating on hacker forums. The threat actors used exposed credentials from other breaches to access 23andMe accounts and steal the sensitive user data. According to a spokesperson, "Preliminary results of this investigation suggest that the login credentials used in these access attempts may have been gathered by a threat actor from data leaked during incidents involving other online platforms where users have recycled login credentials." Stolen credentials leads to most of today's data breaches. Inside-Out Defense helps organizations strengthen their security posture.
