The Identity Theft Research Center (ITRC) has reported an increase of 17% in the number of recorded data breaches during 2021 in comparison to 2020. However, an entrenched lack of transparency around the disclosure of security incidents continues to persist – and so this may be a low ball estimation. According to IBM, the average cost of a data breach has now reached over $4 million, while Mimecast estimates that the average ransomware demand levied against US companies is well over $6 million....

Detailed by cybersecurity researchers at Sophos, the cyberattacks against the undisclosed Canadian healthcare provider took place in early December 2021, although the investigation into the attacks revealed that the first intrusion into the network took place months beforehand in August. It’s likely that this first compromise was by an initial access broker, a cyber criminal who looks for vulnerabilities in networks, compromises them and sells access to others on underground forums....

White Rabbit ransomware emerged in December 2021 with an attack against a US bank and has since been examined by cybersecurity researchers, who say that the ransomware appears to be connected to FIN8, a financially motivated cyber-criminal gang. FIN8 was first identified in 2016 and typically targets point-of-sale (POS) systems with malware attacks designed to steal credit card information. Now it appears that FIN8 could be following the money and shifting towards ransomware campaigns....

Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems are found in all data centers, typically in the form of battery backups, to provide emergency power for workloads to keep running even in the event of an unexpected outage. Because such events are rare, however, UPSs spend most of their lifetime untouched. Data centers, therefore, currently sit on banks of underutilized battery banks – which is why Microsoft and Eaton are now investigating whether the buildings’ UPSs could also support the local grid against anomalies and failures....
