2024-05-06 07:54:03 | Genai alimente la dernière vague des menaces de messagerie modernes GenAI Is Powering the Latest Surge in Modern Email Threats (lien direct) |
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools like ChatGPT have extensive business value. They can write content, clean up context, mimic writing styles and tone, and more. But what if bad actors abuse these capabilities to create highly convincing, targeted and automated phishing messages at scale? No need to wonder as it\'s already happening. Not long after the launch of ChatGPT, business email compromise (BEC) attacks, which are language-based, increased across the globe. According to the 2024 State of the Phish report from Proofpoint, BEC emails are now more personalized and convincing in multiple countries. In Japan, there was a 35% increase year-over-year for BEC attacks. Meanwhile, in Korea they jumped 31% and in the UAE 29%. It turns out that GenAI boosts productivity for cybercriminals, too. Bad actors are always on the lookout for low-effort, high-return modes of attack. And GenAI checks those boxes. Its speed and scalability enhance social engineering, making it faster and easier for attackers to mine large datasets of actionable data. As malicious email threats increase in sophistication and frequency, Proofpoint is innovating to stop these attacks before they reach users\' inboxes. In this blog, we\'ll take a closer look at GenAI email threats and how Proofpoint semantic analysis can help you stop them. Why GenAI email threats are so dangerous Verizon\'s 2023 Data Breach Investigations Report notes that three-quarters of data breaches (74%) involve the human element. If you were to analyze the root causes behind online scams, ransomware attacks, credential theft, MFA bypass, and other malicious activities, that number would probably be a lot higher. Cybercriminals also cost organizations over $50 billion in total losses between October 2013 and December 2022 using BEC scams. That represents only a tiny fraction of the social engineering fraud that\'s happening. Email is the number one threat vector, and these findings underscore why. Attackers find great success in using email to target people. As they expand their use of GenAI to power the next generation of email threats, they will no doubt become even better at it. We\'re all used to seeing suspicious messages that have obvious red flags like spelling errors, grammatical mistakes and generic salutations. But with GenAI, the game has changed. Bad actors can ask GenAI to write grammatically perfect messages that mimic someone\'s writing style-and do it in multiple languages. That\'s why businesses around the globe now see credible malicious email threats coming at their users on a massive scale. How can these threats be stopped? It all comes down to understanding a message\'s intent. Stop threats before they\'re delivered with semantic analysis Proofpoint has the industry\'s first predelivery threat detection engine that uses semantic analysis to understand message intent. Semantic analysis is a process that is used to understand the meaning of words, phrases and sentences within a given context. It aims to extract the underlying meaning and intent from text data. Proofpoint semantic analysis is powered by a large language model (LLM) engine to stop advanced email threats before they\'re delivered to users\' inboxes in both Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace. It doesn\'t matter what words are used or what language the email is written in. And the weaponized payload that\'s included in the email (e.g., URL, QR code, attached file or something else) doesn\'t matter, either. With Proofpoint semantic analysis, our threat detection engines can understand what a message means and what attackers are trying to achieve. An overview of how Proofpoint uses semantic analysis. How it works Proofpoint Threat Protection now includes semantic analysis as an extra layer of threat detection. Emails must pass through an ML-based threat detection engine, which analyzes them at a deeper level. And it does | Ransomware Data Breach Tool Vulnerability Threat | ChatGPT | |

The content of this post is solely the responsibility of the author. AT&T does not adopt or endorse any of the views, positions, or information provided by the author in this article. AI has long since been an intriguing topic for every tech-savvy person, and the concept of AI chatbots is not entirely new. In 2023, AI chatbots will be all the world can talk about, especially after the release of ChatGPT by OpenAI. Still, there was a past when AI chatbots, specifically Bing’s AI chatbot, Sydney, managed to wreak havoc over the internet and had to be forcefully shut down. Now, in 2023, with the world relatively more technologically advanced, AI chatbots have appeared with more gist and fervor. Almost every tech giant is on its way to producing large Language Model chatbots like chatGPT, with Google successfully releasing its Bard and Microsoft and returning to Sydney. However, despite the technological advancements, it seems that there remains a significant part of the risks that these tech giants, specifically Microsoft, have managed to ignore while releasing their chatbots. What is Microsoft Bing AI Chat Used for? Microsoft has released the Bing AI chat in collaboration with OpenAI after the release of ChatGPT. This AI chatbot is a relatively advanced version of ChatGPT 3, known as ChatGPT 4, promising more creativity and accuracy. Therefore, unlike ChatGPT 3, the Bing AI chatbot has several uses, including the ability to generate new content such as images, code, and texts. Apart from that, the chatbot also serves as a conversational web search engine and answers questions about current events, history, random facts, and almost every other topic in a concise and conversational manner. Moreover, it also allows image inputs, such that users can upload images in the chatbot and ask questions related to them. Since the chatbot has several impressive features, its use quickly spread in various industries, specifically within the creative industry. It is a handy tool for generating ideas, research, content, and graphics. However, one major problem with its adoption is the various cybersecurity issues and risks that the chatbot poses. The problem with these cybersecurity issues is that it is not possible to mitigate them through traditional security tools like VPN, antivirus, etc., which is a significant reason why chatbots are still not as popular as they should be. Is Microsoft Bing AI Chat Safe? Like ChatGPT, Microsoft Bing Chat is fairly new, and although many users claim that it is far better in terms of responses and research, its security is something to remain skeptical over. The modern version of the Microsoft AI chatbot is formed in partnership with OpenAI and is a better version of ChatGPT. However, despite that, the chatbot has several privacy and security issues, such as: The chatbot may spy on Microsoft employees through their webcams. Microsoft is bringing ads to Bing, which marketers often use to track users and gather personal information for targeted advertisements. The chatbot stores users\' information, and certain employees can access it, which breaches users\' privacy. - Microsoft’s staff can read chatbot conversations; therefore, sharing sensitive information is vulnerable. The chatbot can be used to aid in several cybersecurity attacks, such as aiding in spear phishing attacks and creating ransomware codes. Bing AI chat has a feature that lets the chatbot “see” what web pages are open on the users\' other tabs. The chatbot has been known to be vulnerable to prompt injection attacks that leave users vulnerable to data theft and scams.

With the proliferation of AI/ML enabled technologies to deliver business value, the need to protect data privacy and secure AI/ML applications from security risks is paramount. An AI governance framework model like the NIST AI RMF to enable business innovation and manage risk is just as important as adopting guidelines to secure AI. Responsible AI starts with securing AI by design and securing AI with Zero Trust architecture principles. Vulnerabilities in ChatGPT A recent discovered vulnerability found in version gpt-3.5-turbo exposed identifiable information. The vulnerability was reported in the news late November 2023. By repeating a particular word continuously to the chatbot it triggered the vulnerability. A group of security researchers with Google DeepMind, Cornell University, CMU, UC Berkeley, ETH Zurich, and the University of Washington studied the “extractable memorization” of training data that an adversary can extract by querying a ML model without prior knowledge of the training dataset. The researchers’ report show an adversary can extract gigabytes of training data from open-source language models. In the vulnerability testing, a new developed divergence attack on the aligned ChatGPT caused the model to emit training data 150 times higher. Findings show larger and more capable LLMs are more vulnerable to data extraction attacks, emitting more memorized training data as the volume gets larger. While similar attacks have been documented with unaligned models, the new ChatGPT vulnerability exposed a successful attack on LLM models typically built with strict guardrails found in aligned models. This raises questions about best practices and methods in how AI systems could better secure LLM models, build training data that is reliable and trustworthy, and protect privacy. U.S. and UK’s Bilateral cybersecurity effort on securing AI The US Cybersecurity Infrastructure and Security Agency (CISA) and UK’s National Cyber Security Center (NCSC) in cooperation with 21 agencies and ministries from 18 other countries are supporting the first global guidelines for AI security. The new UK-led guidelines for securing AI as part of the U.S. and UK’s bilateral cybersecurity effort was announced at the end of November 2023. The pledge is an acknowledgement of AI risk by nation leaders and government agencies worldwide and is the beginning of international collaboration to ensure the safety and security of AI by design. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) CISA and UK NCSC joint guidelines for Secure AI system Development aims to ensure cybersecurity decisions are embedded at every stage of the AI development lifecycle from the start and throughout, and not as an afterthought. Securing AI by design Securing AI by design is a key approach to mitigate cybersecurity risks and other vulnerabilities in AI systems. Ensuring the entire AI system development lifecycle process is secure from design to development, deployment, and operations and maintenance is critical to an organization realizing its full benefits. The guidelines documented in the Guidelines for Secure AI System Development aligns closely to software development life cycle practices defined in the NSCS’s Secure development and deployment guidance and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Secure Software Development Framework (SSDF).

2024-03-05 19:03:47 | Rester en avance sur les acteurs de la menace à l'ère de l'IA Staying ahead of threat actors in the age of AI (lien direct) |
## Snapshot Over the last year, the speed, scale, and sophistication of attacks has increased alongside the rapid development and adoption of AI. Defenders are only beginning to recognize and apply the power of generative AI to shift the cybersecurity balance in their favor and keep ahead of adversaries. At the same time, it is also important for us to understand how AI can be potentially misused in the hands of threat actors. In collaboration with OpenAI, today we are publishing research on emerging threats in the age of AI, focusing on identified activity associated with known threat actors, including prompt-injections, attempted misuse of large language models (LLM), and fraud. Our analysis of the current use of LLM technology by threat actors revealed behaviors consistent with attackers using AI as another productivity tool on the offensive landscape. You can read OpenAI\'s blog on the research [here](https://openai.com/blog/disrupting-malicious-uses-of-ai-by-state-affiliated-threat-actors). Microsoft and OpenAI have not yet observed particularly novel or unique AI-enabled attack or abuse techniques resulting from threat actors\' usage of AI. However, Microsoft and our partners continue to study this landscape closely. The objective of Microsoft\'s partnership with OpenAI, including the release of this research, is to ensure the safe and responsible use of AI technologies like ChatGPT, upholding the highest standards of ethical application to protect the community from potential misuse. As part of this commitment, we have taken measures to disrupt assets and accounts associated with threat actors, improve the protection of OpenAI LLM technology and users from attack or abuse, and shape the guardrails and safety mechanisms around our models. In addition, we are also deeply committed to using generative AI to disrupt threat actors and leverage the power of new tools, including [Microsoft Copilot for Security](https://www.microsoft.com/security/business/ai-machine-learning/microsoft-security-copilot), to elevate defenders everywhere. ## Activity Overview ### **A principled approach to detecting and blocking threat actors** The progress of technology creates a demand for strong cybersecurity and safety measures. For example, the White House\'s Executive Order on AI requires rigorous safety testing and government supervision for AI systems that have major impacts on national and economic security or public health and safety. Our actions enhancing the safeguards of our AI models and partnering with our ecosystem on the safe creation, implementation, and use of these models align with the Executive Order\'s request for comprehensive AI safety and security standards. In line with Microsoft\'s leadership across AI and cybersecurity, today we are announcing principles shaping Microsoft\'s policy and actions mitigating the risks associated with the use of our AI tools and APIs by nation-state advanced persistent threats (APTs), advanced persistent manipulators (APMs), and cybercriminal syndicates we track. These principles include: - **Identification and action against malicious threat actors\' use:** Upon detection of the use of any Microsoft AI application programming interfaces (APIs), services, or systems by an identified malicious threat actor, including nation-state APT or APM, or the cybercrime syndicates we track, Microsoft will take appropriate action to disrupt their activities, such as disabling the accounts used, terminating services, or limiting access to resources. - **Notification to other AI service providers:** When we detect a threat actor\'s use of another service provider\'s AI, AI APIs, services, and/or systems, Microsoft will promptly notify the service provider and share relevant data. This enables the service provider to independently verify our findings and take action in accordance with their own policies. - **Collaboration with other stakeholders:** Microsoft will collaborate with other stakeholders to regularly exchange information a | Ransomware Malware Tool Vulnerability Threat Studies Medical Technical | APT 28 ChatGPT APT 4 | ★★ |

2023-12-27 11:00:00 | Cybersécurité post-pandémique: leçons de la crise mondiale de la santé Post-pandemic Cybersecurity: Lessons from the global health crisis (lien direct) |
The content of this post is solely the responsibility of the author. AT&T does not adopt or endorse any of the views, positions, or information provided by the author in this article. Beyond ‘just’ causing mayhem in the outside world, the pandemic also led to a serious and worrying rise in cybersecurity breaches. In 2020 and 2021, businesses saw a whopping 50% increase in the amount of attempted breaches. The transition to remote work, outdated healthcare organization technology, the adoption of AI bots in the workplace, and the presence of general uncertainty and fear led to new opportunities for bad actors seeking to exploit and benefit from this global health crisis. In this article, we will take a look at how all of this impacts the state of cybersecurity in the current post-pandemic era, and what conclusions can be drawn. New world, new vulnerabilities Worldwide lockdowns led to a rise in remote work opportunities, which was a necessary adjustment to allow employees to continue to earn a living. However, the sudden shift to the work-from-home format also caused a number of challenges and confusion for businesses and remote employees alike. The average person didn’t have the IT department a couple of feet away, so they were forced to fend for themselves. Whether it was deciding whether to use a VPN or not, was that email really a phishing one, or even just plain software updates, everybody had their hands full. With employers busy with training programs, threat actors began intensifying their ransomware-related efforts, resulting in a plethora of high-profile incidents in the last couple of years. A double-edged digital sword If the pandemic did one thing, it’s making us more reliant on both software and digital currencies. You already know where we’re going with this—it’s fertile ground for cybercrime. Everyone from the Costa Rican government to Nvidia got hit. With the dominance of Bitcoin as a payment method in ransoming, tracking down perpetrators is infinitely more difficult than it used to be. The old adage holds more true than ever - an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. To make matters worse, amongst all that chaos, organizations also had to pivot away from vulnerable, mainstream software solutions. Even if it’s just choosing a new image editor or integrating a PDF SDK, it’s an increasing burden for businesses that are already trying to modernize or simply maintain. Actors strike where we’re most vulnerable Healthcare organizations became more important than ever during the global coronavirus pandemic. But this time also saw unprecedented amounts of cybersecurity incidents take place as bad actors exploited outdated cybersecurity measures. The influx of sudden need caused many overburdened healthcare organizations to lose track of key cybersecurity protocols that could help shore up gaps in the existing protective measures. The United States healthcare industry saw a 25% spike in successful data breaches during the pandemic, which resulted in millions of dollars of damages and the loss of privacy for thousands of patients whose data was compromis | Data Breach Vulnerability Threat Studies Prediction | ChatGPT | ★★ |

In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, defenders find themselves navigating yet another challenging year. Threat actors persistently refine their tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), showcasing adaptability and the rapid iteration of novel and complex attack chains. At the heart of this evolution lies a crucial shift: threat actors now prioritize identity over technology. While the specifics of TTPs and the targeted technology may change, one constant remains: humans and their identities are the most targeted links in the attack chain. Recent instances of supply chain attacks exemplify this shift, illustrating how adversaries have pivoted from exploiting software vulnerabilities to targeting human vulnerabilities through social engineering and phishing. Notably, the innovative use of generative AI, especially its ability to improve phishing emails, exemplifies a shift towards manipulating human behavior rather than exploiting technological weaknesses. As we reflect on 2023, it becomes evident that cyber threat actors possess the capabilities and resources to adapt their tactics in response to increased security measures such as multi-factor authentication (MFA). Looking ahead to 2024, the trend suggests that threats will persistently revolve around humans, compelling defenders to take a different approach to breaking the attack chain. So, what\'s on the horizon? The experts at Proofpoint provide insightful predictions for the next 12 months, shedding light on what security teams might encounter and the implications of these trends. 1. Cyber Heists: Casinos are Just the Tip of the Iceberg Cyber criminals are increasingly targeting digital supply chain vendors, with a heightened focus on security and identity providers. Aggressive social engineering tactics, including phishing campaigns, are becoming more prevalent. The Scattered Spider group, responsible for ransomware attacks on Las Vegas casinos, showcases the sophistication of these tactics. Phishing help desk employees for login credentials and bypassing MFA through phishing one-time password (OTP) codes are becoming standard practices. These tactics have extended to supply chain attacks, compromising identity provider (IDP) vendors to access valuable customer information. The forecast for 2024 includes the replication and widespread adoption of such aggressive social engineering tactics, broadening the scope of initial compromise attempts beyond the traditional edge device and file transfer appliances. 2. Generative AI: The Double-Edged Sword The explosive growth of generative AI tools like ChatGPT, FraudGPT and WormGPT bring both promise and peril, but the sky is not falling as far as cybersecurity is concerned. While large language models took the stage, the fear of misuse prompted the U.S. president to issue an executive order in October 2023. At the moment, threat actors are making bank doing other things. Why bother reinventing the model when it\'s working just fine? But they\'ll morph their TTPs when detection starts to improve in those areas. On the flip side, more vendors will start injecting AI and large language models into their products and processes to boost their security offerings. Across the globe, privacy watchdogs and customers alike will demand responsible AI policies from technology companies, which means we\'ll start seeing statements being published about responsible AI policies. Expect both spectacular failures and responsible AI policies to emerge. 3. Mobile Device Phishing: The Rise of Omni-Channel Tactics take Centre Stage A notable trend for 2023 was the dramatic increase in mobile device phishing and we expect this threat to rise even more in 2024. Threat actors are strategically redirecting victims to mobile interactions, exploiting the vulnerabilities inherent in mobile platforms. Conversational abuse, including conversational smishing, has experienced exponential growth. Multi-touch campaigns aim to lure users away from desktops to mobile devices, utilizing tactics like QR codes and fraudulent voice calls | Ransomware Malware Tool Vulnerability Threat Mobile Prediction Prediction | ChatGPT ChatGPT | ★★★ |

2023-10-17 10:00:00 | Réévaluer les risques dans l'âge de l'intelligence artificielle Re-evaluating risk in the artificial intelligence age (lien direct) |
Introduction It is common knowledge that when it comes to cybersecurity, there is no one-size-fits all definition of risk, nor is there a place for static plans. New technologies are created, new vulnerabilities discovered, and more attackers appear on the horizon. Most recently the appearance of advanced language models such as ChatGPT have taken this concept and turned the dial up to eleven. These AI tools are capable of creating targeted malware with no technical training required and can even walk you through how to use them. While official tools have safeguards in place (with more being added as users find new ways to circumvent them) that reduce or prevent them being abused, there are several dark web offerings that are happy to fill the void. Enterprising individuals have created tools that are specifically trained on malware data and are capable of supporting other attacks such as phishing or email-compromises. Re-evaluating risk While risk should always be regularly evaluated it is important to identify when significant technological shifts materially impact the risk landscape. Whether it is the proliferation of mobile devices in the workplace or easy access to internet-connected devices with minimal security (to name a few of the more recent developments) there are times when organizations need to completely reassess their risk profile. Vulnerabilities unlikely to be exploited yesterday may suddenly be the new best-in-breed attack vector today. There are numerous ways to evaluate, prioritize, and address risks as they are discovered which vary between organizations, industries, and personal preferences. At the most basic level, risks are evaluated by multiplying the likelihood and impact of any given event. These factors may be determined through numerous methods, and may be affected by countless elements including: Geography Industry Motivation of attackers Skill of attackers Cost of equipment Maturity of the target’s security program In this case, the advent of tools like ChatGPT greatly reduce the barrier to entry or the “skill” needed for a malicious actor to execute an attack. Sophisticated, targeted, attacks can be created in minutes with minimal effort from the attacker. Organizations that were previously safe due to their size, profile, or industry, now may be targeted simply because it is easy to do so. This means all previously established risk profiles are now out of date and do not accurately reflect the new environment businesses find themselves operating in. Even businesses that have a robust risk management process and mature program may find themselves struggling to adapt to this new reality. Recommendations While there is no one-size-fits-all solution, there are some actions businesses can take that will likely be effective. First, the business should conduct an immediate assessment and analysis of their currently identified risks. Next, the business should assess whether any of these risks could be reasonably combined (also known as aggregated) in a way that materially changes their likelihood or impact. Finally, the business must ensure their executive teams are aware of the changes to the businesses risk profile and consider amending the organization’s existing risk appetite and tolerances. Risk assessment & analysis It is important to begin by reassessing the current state of risk within the organization. As noted earlier, risks or attacks that were previously considered unlikely may now be only a few clicks from being deployed in mass. The organization should walk through their risk register, if one exists, and evaluate all identified risks. This may be time consuming, and the organization should of course prioritize critical and high risks first, but it is important to ensure the business has the information they need to effectively address risks.

In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, the battle between defenders and attackers has historically been marked by an asymmetrical relationship. Within the cybersecurity realm, asymmetry has characterized the relationship between those safeguarding digital assets and those seeking to exploit vulnerabilities. Even within this context, where attackers are typically at a resource disadvantage, data breaches have continued to rise year after year as cyber threats adapt and evolve and utilize asymmetric tactics to their advantage. These include technologies and tactics such as artificial intelligence (AI), and advanced social engineering tools. To effectively combat these threats, companies must rethink their security strategies, concentrating their scarce resources more efficiently and effectively through the concept of force multiplication. Asymmetrical threats, in the world of cybersecurity, can be summed up as the inherent disparity between adversaries and the tactics employed by the weaker party to neutralize the strengths of the stronger one. The utilization of AI and similar tools further erodes the perceived advantages that organizations believe they gain through increased spending on sophisticated security measures. Recent data from InfoSecurity Magazine, referencing the 2023 Checkpoint study, reveals a disconcerting trend: global cyberattacks increased by 7% between Q1 2022 and Q1 2023. While not significant at first blush, a deeper analysis reveals a more disturbing trend specifically that of the use of AI. AI\'s malicious deployment is exemplified in the following quote from their research: "...we have witnessed several sophisticated campaigns from cyber-criminals who are finding ways to weaponize legitimate tools for malicious gains." Furthermore, the report highlights: "Recent examples include using ChatGPT for code generation that can help less-skilled threat actors effortlessly launch cyberattacks." As threat actors continue to employ asymmetrical strategies to render organizations\' substantial and ever-increasing security investments less effective, organizations must adapt to address this evolving threat landscape. Arguably, one of the most effective methods to confront threat adaptation and asymmetric tactics is through the concept of force multiplication, which enhances relative effectiveness with fewer resources consumed thereby increasing the efficiency of the security dollar. Efficiency, in the context of cybersecurity, refers to achieving the greatest cumulative effect of cybersecurity efforts with the lowest possible expenditure of resources, including time, effort, and costs. While the concept of efficiency may seem straightforward, applying complex technological and human resources effectively and in an efficient manner in complex domains like security demands more than mere calculations. This subject has been studied, modeled, and debated within the military community for centuries.

Social engineering threats are increasingly difficult to distinguish from real media. What\'s worse, they can be released with great speed and at scale. That\'s because attackers can now use new forms of artificial intelligence (AI), like generative AI, to create convincing impostor articles, images, videos and audio. They can also create compelling phishing emails, as well as believable spoof browser pages and deepfake videos. These well-crafted attacks developed with generative AI are creating new security risks. They can penetrate protective defense layers by exploiting human vulnerabilities, like trust and emotional response. That\'s the buzz about generative AI. The good news is that the future is wide open to fight fire with fire. There are great possibilities for using a custom-built generative AI tool to help improve your company\'s cybersecurity awareness program. And in this post, we look at five ways your organization might do that, now or in the future. Let\'s imagine together how generative AI might help you to improve end users\' learning engagement and reduce human risk. 1. Get faster alerts about threats If your company\'s threat intelligence exposes a well-designed credential attack targeting employees, you need to be quick to alert and educate users and leadership about the threat. In the future, your company might bring in a generative AI tool that can deliver relevant warnings and alerts to your audiences faster. Generative AI applications can analyze huge amounts of data about emerging threats at greater speed and with more accuracy than traditional methods. Security awareness administrators might run queries such as: “Analyze internal credential phishing attacks for the past two weeks” “List BEC attacks for credentials targeting companies like mine right now” In just a few minutes, the tool could summarize current credential compromise threats and the specific “tells” to look for. You could then ask your generative AI tool to create actionable reporting about that threat data on the fly, which saves time because you\'re not setting up dashboards. Then, you use the tool to push out threat alerts to the business. It could also produce standard communications like email messages and social channel notifications. You might engage people further by using generative AI to create an eye-catching infographic or a short, animated video in just seconds or minutes. No need to wait days or weeks for a designer to produce that visual content. 2. Design awareness campaigns more nimbly Say that your security awareness team is planning a campaign to teach employees how to spot attacks targeting their credentials, as AI makes phishing emails more difficult to spot. Your security awareness platform or learning management system (LMS) has a huge library of content you can tap for this effort-but your team is already overworked. In the future, you might adapt a generative AI tool to reduce the manual workload by finding what information is most relevant and providing suggestions for how to use it. A generative AI application could scan your content library for training modules and awareness materials. For instance, an administrator could make queries such as: “Sort existing articles for the three biggest risks of credential theft” “Suggest training assignments that educate about document attachments” By applying this generative AI use case to searching and filtering, you would shortcut the long and tedious process of looking for material, reading each piece for context, choosing the most relevant content, and deciding how to organize what you\'ve selected. You could also ask the generative AI tool to recommend critical topics missing in the available content. The AI might even produce the basis for a tailored and personalized security campaign to help keep your people engaged. For instance, you could ask the tool to sort content based on nonstandard factors you consider interesting, such as mentioning a geographic region or holiday season. 3.

[Fingerprints All Over] Stolen Credentials Are the No. 1 Root Cause of Data Breaches
Verizon\'s DBIR always has a lot of information to unpack, so I\'ll continue my review by covering how stolen credentials play a role in attacks.
This year\'s Data Breach Investigations Report has nearly 1 million incidents in their data set, making it the most statistically relevant set of report data anywhere.
So, what does the report say about the most common threat actions that are involved in data breaches? Overall, the use of stolen credentials is the overwhelming leader in data breaches, being involved in nearly 45% of breaches – this is more than double the second-place spot of "Other" (which includes a number of types of threat actions) and ransomware, which sits at around 20% of data breaches.
According to Verizon, stolen credentials were the "most popular entry point for breaches." As an example, in Basic Web Application Attacks, the use of stolen credentials was involved in 86% of attacks. The prevalence of credential use should come as no surprise, given the number of attacks that have focused on harvesting online credentials to provide access to both cloud platforms and on-premises networks alike.
And it\'s the social engineering attacks (whether via phish, vish, SMiSh, or web) where these credentials are compromised - something that can be significantly diminished by engaging users in security awareness training to familiarize them with common techniques and examples of attacks, so when they come across an attack set on stealing credentials, the user avoids becoming a victim.

[The Mind\'s Bias] Pretexting Now Tops Phishing in Social Engineering Attacks
The New Verizon DBIR is a treasure trove of data. As we will cover a bit below, Verizon reported that 74% of data breaches Involve the "Human Element," so people are one of the most common factors contributing to successful data breaches. Let\'s drill down a bit more in the social engineering section.
They explained: "Now, who has received an email or a direct message on social media from a friend or family member who desperately needs money? Probably fewer of you. This is social engineering (pretexting specifically) and it takes more skill.
"The most convincing social engineers can get into your head and convince you that someone you love is in danger. They use information they have learned about you and your loved ones to trick you into believing the message is truly from someone you know, and they use this invented scenario to play on your emotions and create a sense of urgency. The DBIR Figure 35 shows that Pretexting is now more prevalent than Phishing in Social Engineering incidents. However, when we look at confirmed breaches, Phishing is still on top."
A social attack known as BEC, or business email compromise, can be quite intricate. In this type of attack, the perpetrator uses existing email communications and information to deceive the recipient into carrying out a seemingly ordinary task, like changing a vendor\'s bank account details. But what makes this attack dangerous is that the new bank account provided belongs to the attacker. As a result, any payments the recipient makes to that account will simply disappear.
BEC Attacks Have Nearly Doubled
It can be difficult to spot these attacks as the attackers do a lot of preparation beforehand. They may create a domain doppelganger that looks almost identical to the real one and modify the signature block to show their own number instead of the legitimate vendor.
Attackers can make many subtle changes to trick their targets, especially if they are receiving many similar legitimate requests. This could be one reason why BEC attacks have nearly doubled across the DBIR entire incident dataset, as shown in Figure 36, and now make up over 50% of incidents in this category.
Financially Motivated External Attackers Double Down on Social Engineering
Timely detection and response is crucial when dealing with social engineering attacks, as well as most other attacks. Figure 38 shows a steady increase in the median cost of BECs since 2018, now averaging around $50,000, emphasizing the significance of quick detection.

gpt_academic provides a graphical interface for ChatGPT/GLM. A vulnerability was found in gpt_academic 3.37 and prior. This issue affects some unknown processing of the component Configuration File Handler. The manipulation of the argument file leads to information disclosure. Since no sensitive files are configured to be off-limits, sensitive information files in some working directories can be read through the `/file` route, leading to sensitive information leakage. This affects users that uses file configurations via `config.py`, `config_private.py`, `Dockerfile`. A patch is available at commit 1dcc2873d2168ad2d3d70afcb453ac1695fbdf02.

[Double Trouble] 78% of Ransomware Victims Face Multiple Extortions in Scary Trend
New data sheds light on how likely your organization will succumb to a ransomware attack, whether you can recover your data, and what\'s inhibiting a proper security posture.
You have a solid grasp on what your organization\'s cybersecurity stance does and does not include. But is it enough to stop today\'s ransomware attacks? CyberEdge\'s 2023 Cyberthreat Defense Report provides some insight into just how prominent ransomware attacks are and what\'s keeping orgs from stopping them.
According to the report, in 2023:
7% of organizations were victims of a ransomware attack
7% of those paid a ransom
73% were able to recover data
Only 21.6% experienced solely the encryption of data and no other form of extortion
It\'s this last data point that interests me. Nearly 78% of victim organizations experienced one or more additional forms of extortion. CyberEdge mentions threatening to publicly release data, notifying customers or media, and committing a DDoS attack as examples of additional threats mentioned by respondents.
IT decision makers were asked to rate on a scale of 1-5 (5 being the highest) what were the top inhibitors of establishing and maintaining an adequate defense. The top inhibitor (with an average rank of 3.66) was a lack of skilled personnel – we\'ve long known the cybersecurity industry is lacking a proper pool of qualified talent.
In second place, with an average ranking of 3.63, is low security awareness among employees – something only addressed by creating a strong security culture with new-school security awareness training at the center of it all.

Xenomorph V3: a New Variant with ATS Targeting More Than 400 Institutions
(published: March 10, 2023)
Newer versions of the Xenomorph Android banking trojan are able to target 400 applications: cryptocurrency wallets and mobile banking from around the World with the top targeted countries being Spain, Turkey, Poland, USA, and Australia (in that order). Since February 2022, several small, testing Xenomorph campaigns have been detected. Its current version Xenomorph v3 (Xenomorph.C) is available on the Malware-as-a-Service model. This trojan version was delivered using the Zombinder binding service to bind it to a legitimate currency converter. Xenomorph v3 automatically collects and exfiltrates credentials using the ATS (Automated Transfer Systems) framework. The command-and-control traffic is blended in by abusing Discord Content Delivery Network.
Analyst Comment: Fraud chain automation makes Xenomorph v3 a dangerous malware that might significantly increase its prevalence on the threat landscape. Users should keep their mobile devices updated and avail of mobile antivirus and VPN protection services. Install only applications that you actually need, use the official store and check the app description and reviews. Organizations that publish applications for their customers are invited to use Anomali's Premium Digital Risk Protection service to discover rogue, malicious apps impersonating your brand that security teams typically do not search or monitor.

[Eye Opener] Should You Click on Unsubscribe?
By Roger A. Grimes.
Some common questions we get are "Should I click on an unwanted email's 'Unsubscribe' link? Will that lead to more or less unwanted email?"
The short answer is that, in general, it is OK to click on a legitimate vendor's unsubscribe link. But if you think the email is sketchy or coming from a source you would not want to validate your email address as valid and active, or are unsure, do not take the chance, skip the unsubscribe action.
In many countries, legitimate vendors are bound by law to offer (free) unsubscribe functionality and abide by a user's preferences. For example, in the U.S., the 2003 CAN-SPAM Act states that businesses must offer clear instructions on how the recipient can remove themselves from the involved mailing list and that request must be honored within 10 days.
Note: Many countries have laws similar to the CAN-SPAM Act, although with privacy protection ranging the privacy spectrum from very little to a lot more protection. The unsubscribe feature does not have to be a URL link, but it does have to be an "internet-based way." The most popular alternative method besides a URL link is an email address to use.
In some cases, there are specific instructions you have to follow, such as put "Unsubscribe" in the subject of the email. Other times you are expected to craft your own message. Luckily, most of the time simply sending any email to the listed unsubscribe email address is enough to remove your email address from the mailing list.
