☆ Chinese spies are targeting disgruntled workers within U.S. corporations, warns national counterintelligence head Michael Casey
  + stars: | 2024-06-04 | by ( Susan Caminiti | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
Casey said there has been a 100% increase in cyber incidents and ransomware demands across the board. These are people within organizations that can be recruited to steal IP, data, or whatever the bad actor is targeting. "These are the employees who are having money problems, marital problems that someone can take advantage of," Casey said. "The PRC is an authoritarian state and there should be no confusion between that and Chinese Americans and people of Chinese descent," Casey said. "Leaders need to know what they would do if the worst thing happens," Casey said.

☆ Annoying CAPTCHA is still big for Google and e-commerce in bot battle, and likely to stay that way
  + stars: | 2022-12-17 | by ( Barbara Collins | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +3 min
These are called CAPTCHAs – an acronym standing for "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart." Except some cybersecurity experts say in addition to the problem of human user annoyance, there's a problem with the underlying approach to cybersecurity. How machines are becoming more like humansAs a standalone cybersecurity tool, CAPTCHAs can be unreliable because of their partially behavioral-based approach. Bots can be programmed to call out to the human solving farm overseas that decipher the CAPTCHA, all in the timespan of a few seconds. In today's world, CAPTCHAs used without any additional layers of cybersecurity protection are typically not enough for most enterprises, said Sandy Carielli, a principal analyst for Forrester.
☆ Closing keynote: The White House is serious about cybersecurity
  + stars: | 2022-12-12 | by ( Eamon Javers | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: 1 min
The Biden Administration has made strengthening U.S. cyber defenses a top priority in its first two years. Among its accomplishments: new legislation, including the Strengthening American Cybersecurity Act of 2022, executive orders to firm up the federal government's cybersecurity and the establishment of a new Office of the National Cyber Director. Kemba Walden left a job in Microsoft's Digital Crimes Unit to come back to public service as part of that new office. She is now focused on giving private sector companies more clarity on when to report cyber breaches to the government, who to report those breaches to, and making sure that government agencies share information with each other and act on it.
