ZDNet: The Series D funding round was led by existing investors Sutter Hill Ventures, Altimeter Capital, D1 Capital Partners, and Tiger Global Management.
Bleeping Computer: The warning was issued as a joint advisory released by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Australian Cyber Security Centre (ACSC), and the United Kingdom's National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC).
BBC: The National Cyber Security Centre says it handled a record 777 incidents between August 2020 and September 2021. Its annual review said protecting the health sector became an urgent priority over the period.
Politico: The FBI could be sidelined in new cybersecurity legislation, a top Bureau official told lawmakers. And, in the view of America’s most powerful law enforcement agency, that would be a big problem.
Cision: Bugcrowd, the world's first crowdsourced cybersecurity platform for multiple solutions, released its annual Inside the Mind of a Hacker '21 report, which provides CIOs and CISOs valuable insight on ethical hackers and the economics of security research.
The Hill: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced a new program to attract and retain cybersecurity professionals, as major cyber incidents have ticked up over the past year and are drawing more government attention.
The target: Robin Hood, a U.S based investment and trading platform.
The take: Exposure of an estimated 7 million customer accounts with Personally Identifiable Information including: 5 million email addresses and 2 million full names. For a small number of the exposed records, dates-of-birth and zip codes were also vulnerable.
The attack vector: The attacker used social engineering to target one of Robin Hood’s Customer Support Representatives, tricking them into thinking they had authentication to access the firm’s internal systems and handed over their credentials. Using these legitimate permissions, the threat actors immediately accessed the sensitive data.
This breach highlights the great and always on-going risk that social engineering attacks pose to organizations. The strongest security controls are often only as effective as the employees who maintain them. Regular awareness testing and training, along with an emphasis on the importance of critical thinking and caution when receiving access requests from third parties is critical to a robust cybersecurity posture.
Arab News: The growing popularity of e-commerce, online public services and social media in Saudi Arabia has brought many benefits that can improve the quality of day-to-day life.
Lexology: Cyber security breaches are overwhelmingly the greatest staff-related risk for a financial services business, according to a survey of Channel Island employers at Walkers' three-day virtual employment law conference.
ZDNet: US Vice President Kamala Harris said the US will be joining the Paris Call for Trust and Security in Cyberspace -- a voluntary agreement between more than 80 countries, local governments, and tech companies centered on advancing cybersecurity and "preserving the open, interoperable, secure, and reliable Internet."
