2022 Week 25 and 26 News Roundup

  Summary Mostly SCADA stuff the last two weeks.  It seems that the bad guys like to coordinate and cycle.  On a positive note, Biden signed 2 cybersecurity bills in to law! News SCADA/IOC general Researchers with Forescout have announced 56 issues in 26 devices from 10 different companies (enough numbers for you?).  They have named the collective issues  OT:ICEFALL (link below).  The devices all suffer from poor design practices that made them insecure out of the box.  To keep from having more numbers, I will reframe from too deep a dive into the different issues, but if you have any of the affected devices, you should remediate them to the best of your ability.

2022 Week 22 Security review

 Summary Not a lot of regular news, but we had both the Verizon and Sophos annual reports came out. News The Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report for 2022 indicated that while the education sector continues to be a favorite target, the motivator is mostly financial (somewhat confirming the Sophos report) and Medical Data is actually the least sought after.  The largest sector they indicated as a target was Professional, followed closely matched Finance, Information Technology, Manufacturing, and Public Administration.   https://cyware.com/news/education-sector-under-constant-cyberattacks-f2fbd34f https://www.verizon.com/business/resources/reports/dbir/ Education The FBI issued an alert that they have become aware of cybercriminals selling usernames and passwords from university breaches.  The sales are occurring on a variety of dark websites.  The biggest takeaway for me was that just because you recover from an initial attack it does not mean it is over. https://www.securityweek.
