UK-Based Firm EE Affected By Two Security Vulnerabilities In A Week

Continuing the stream of vulnerabilities in the telecommunication sector, we now hear about another incident after Telstra and Telefonica. This time, the UK-based telecommunication network, EE Limited, endured two different instances of cyber attacks. Reportedly, EE fixed both vulnerabilities in a week, saving it from possibly massive security risks.

Chrome Bug Allowed Hackers to Find Out Everything Facebook Knows About You

With the release of Chrome 68, Google prominently marks all non-HTTPS websites as 'Not Secure' on its browser to make the web a more secure place for Internet users.

If you haven't yet, there is another significant reason to immediately switch to the latest version of the Chrome web browser.

Ron Masas, a security researcher from Imperva, has discovered a vulnerability in web browsers that could allow attackers to find everything other web platforms, like Facebook and Google, knows about you—and all they need is just trick you into visiting a website.

Black Hat 2018: Widespread Critical Flaws Found in Smart-City Gear

More than a dozen flaws in smart-city gear could open the door to attackers bent on sowing public panic, according to IBM X-Force.

Smart-city technology continues to roll out in municipalities worldwide – everything from automated alerts about weather hazards and traffic issues to smart lighting and connected trash systems. However, like the rest of the Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem, security is always a concern, as evidenced by the 17 zero-day vulnerabilities that researchers have found in four smart city systems — eight of which are critical in severity.

Researchers from Threatcare and IBM X-Force Red joined forces to test several smart-city devices that are widely deployed, with the specific goal of investigating “supervillain-level” attacks from afar. The research, presented at Black Hat and DEF CON 2018, delved into three categories of devices: Intelligent transportation systems, disaster management and industrial IoT.

Cybersecurity is red-hot for investors — here's what Duo, Splunk, Tanium and the rest of those companies actually do

Cisco announced on Thursday that it would acquire Duo Security, a company that specializes in products that help companies manage identity and secure access to devices, for $2.35 billion.

Cisco's move makes sense. One of the most pressing issues in cybersecurity today is how to authenticate users, or prove that they are who they claim to be. It's the problem that leads to some of the cybercrimes most expensive to business -- like email compromise, wire fraud and theft of valuable intellectual property. It's also at the root of the attacks suffered by the Democratic National Committee in the 2016 election.
