Early into his four-month employment, he used remote-work tools to infiltrate the company's systems, downloading a large amount of company data, per Secureworks. Last year, FBI leaders warned that the money earned in salaries was being funneled to North Korean weapons programs. AdvertisementA Ukrainian man was also accused of operating "laptop farms" for North Korean workers. He told Business Insider that thorough vetting and background checks are often the "only fallback" to prevent rogue access to sensitive company data.

Personal computer maker Dell Technologies is again exploring a possible sale of SecureWorks , after unsuccessful earlier attempts to find a buyer for the U.S. cybersecurity firm, according to people familiar with the matter. Dell, which has shed many non-core assets in recent years, owns 79.2% of SecureWorks by holding all of the company's class B shares, according to recent filings. Dell explored a sale of SecureWorks in 2019, part of an effort to trim Dell's debt pile, Reuters reported at the time. Dell acquired SecureWorks for $612 million in 2011, before listing its shares through an initial public offering in New York in 2016. The company's shares have risen by about 46% so far this year, outperforming an 18% rise in the S&P 500 index.

☆ Election deepfakes could undermine institutional credibility, Moody's warns
  + stars: | 2024-07-10 | by ( Michelle Castillo | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +7 min
A new report from Moody's on Wednesday warns that generative AI and deepfakes are among the election integrity issues that could present a risk to U.S. institutional credibility. In a letter to Rosenworcel, it encouraged the FCC to delay its decision until after the elections because its changes would not be mandatory across digital political ads. Some social media platforms have already self-adopted some sort of AI disclosure ahead of regulations. Google requires all political ads with modified content that "inauthentically depicts real or realistic-looking people or events" to have disclosures, but doesn't require AI disclosures on all political ads. Thirteen states have laws on election interference and deepfakes, eight of which were enacted since January.

CNN —The FBI and its international allies have seized a dark-web site that the world’s most prolific ransomware gang has used to extort its victims, according to a message on the website viewed by CNN. The hackers claimed credit for a November ransomware attack that forced New Jersey-based Capital Health to cancel some patient appointments. LockBit also claimed responsibility for ransomware attacks on the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and Fulton County, Georgia, in recent months. The US Justice Department also announced the indictment of two Russian men for deploying LockBit ransomware against victim organizations throughout the US, including against unnamed manufacturing firms. While there have been notable arrests and law enforcement seizures of millions of dollars’ worth of ransom payments, the ransomware economy continues to thrive.
