The cybersecurity landscape in 2024 continues to evolve rapidly, presenting a complex array of challenges for organizations and governments worldwide. Cyberthreats are becoming more sophisticated, and security leaders are grappling with nation-state attacks and advanced cybercrime tactics.
From North Korean espionage targeting nuclear installations to the European Central Bank's cyber stress test for the banking sector, our featured articles cover the latest incidents and developments, providing insights essential for navigating these threats.
United States, British and South Korean government agencies blamed a North Korean espionage group for targeting their defense, aerospace and energy sectors to steal Western nuclear and military technologies to advance Kim Jong Un regime's military and nuclear ambitions.
The European banking sector is prepared at a high level for withering cyberattacks but there is "room for improvement" in its recovery capabilities, the European Central Bank said at the conclusion of a first-ever cyber stress test for banking.
The global IT outage triggered by a faulty CrowdStrike software update could lead to $400 million to $1.5 billion in payouts to cyber insurance policyholders, although the non-standardized language used for such policies will make determining final losses a "lengthy process," analysts say.
Hackers apparently stymied by improved network detection of malware are turning to fake GitHub repositories to host malicious links and archives embedded with viruses. A threat actor dubbed "Stargazer Goblin" is a step beyond hackers who merely use GitHub repositories to host malicious code.
A growing backlog at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) National Vulnerability Database could surge to above 30,000 unanalyzed security flaws by the end of the year if the agency fails to significantly ramp up its processing rates, according to a new analysis released Friday.
