Phony bank fraud prevention alerts were the most common type of text scam last year. "Reports about texts impersonating banks are up nearly tenfold since 2019 with median reported individual losses of $3,000 last year," the report says. These are the top five text scams reported by the FTC: Copycat bank fraud prevention alerts Bogus "gifts" that can cost you Fake package delivery problems Phony job offers Not-really-from-Amazon security alerts "People get a text supposedly from a bank asking them to call a number ASAP about suspicious activity or to reply YES or NO to verify whether a transaction was authorized. If they reply, they\'ll get a call from a phony \'fraud department\' claiming they want to \'help get your money back.\' What they really want to do is make unauthorized transfers. "What\'s more, they may ask for personal information like Social Security numbers, setting people up for possible identity theft." Fake gift card offers took second place, followed by phony package delivery problems. "Scammers understand how our shopping habits have changed and have updated their sleazy tactics accordingly," the FTC says. "People may get a text pretending to be from the U.S. Postal Service, FedEx, or UPS claiming there\'s a problem with a delivery. "The text links to a convincing-looking – but utterly bogus – website that asks for a credit card number to cover a small \'redelivery fee.\'" Scammers also target job seekers with bogus job offers in an attempt to steal their money and personal information. "With workplaces in transition, some scammers are using texts to perpetrate old-school forms of fraud – for example, fake \'mystery shopper\' jobs or bogus money-making offers for driving around with cars wrapped in ads," the report says. "Other texts target people who post their resumes on employment websites. They claim to offer jobs and even send job seekers checks, usually with instructions to send some of the money to a different address for materials, training, or the like. By the time the check bounces, the person\'s money – and the phony \'employer\' – are long gone." Finally, scammers impersonate Amazon and send fake security alerts to trick victims into sending money. "People may get what looks like a message from \'Amazon,\' asking to verify a big-ticket order they didn\'t place," the FTC says.

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.

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.

Social engineering is involved in 70% to 90% of successful compromises. It is the number one way that all hackers and malware compromise devices and networks. No other initial root cause comes close (unpatched software and firmware is a distant second being involved in about 33% of attacks). A new, HUGE, very important, fact has been gleaned by Barracuda Networks which should impact the way that EVERYONE does security awareness training. Everyone needs to know about this fact and react accordingly. This is that fact: "...spear phishing attacks that use personalized messages... make up only 0.1% of all email-based attacks according to Barracuda\'s data but are responsible for 66% of all breaches." Let that sink in for a moment. What exactly is spear phishing? Spear phishing is when a social engineering attacker uses personal or confidential information they have learned about a potential victim or organization in order to more readily fool the victim into performing a harmful action. Within that definition, spear phishing can be accomplished in thousands of different ways, ranging from basic attacks to more advanced, longer-range attacks.

When you want tires, where do you go? Right – to the tire store. Shoes? Yup – shoe store. The most money you can scam from a single attack? That\'s right – the financial services industry, at least according to cybersecurity vendor Armorblox\'s 2023 Email Security Threat Report. According to the report, the financial services industry as a target has increased by 72% over 2022 and was the single largest target of financial fraud attacks, representing 49% of all such attacks. When breaking down the specific types of financial fraud, it doesn\'t get any better for the financial industry: 51% of invoice fraud attacks targeted the financial services industry 42% were payroll fraud attacks 63% were payment fraud To make matters worse, nearly one-quarter (22%) of financial fraud attacks successfully bypassed native email security controls, according to Armorblox. That means one in five email-based attacks made it all the way to the Inbox. The next layer in your defense should be a user that\'s properly educated using security awareness training to easily identify financial fraud and other phishing-based threats, stopping them before they do actual damage.

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.

"Google Chrome users who use the browser regularly should be wary of a new attack campaign that distributes malware by posing as a Google Chrome update error message," Trend Micro warns. "The attack campaign has been operational since February 2023 and has a large impact area." The message displayed reads, "UPDATE EXCEPTION. An error occurred in Chrome automatic update. Please install the update package manually later, or wait for the next automatic update." A link is provided at the bottom of the bogus error message that takes the user to what\'s misrepresented as a link that will support a Chrome manual update. In fact the link will download a ZIP file that contains an EXE file. The payload is a cryptojacking Monero miner. A cryptojacker is bad enough since it will drain power and degrade device performance. This one also carries the potential for compromising sensitive information, particularly credentials, and serving as staging for further attacks. This campaign may be more effective for its routine, innocent look. There are no spectacular threats, no promises of instant wealth, just a notice about a failed update. Users can become desensitized to the potential risks bogus messages concerning IT issues carry with them. Informed users are the last line of defense against attacks like these.

(lien direct)	CyberheistNews Vol 13 #18 \| May 2nd, 2023 [Eye on AI] Does ChatGPT Have Cybersecurity Tells? Poker players and other human lie detectors look for "tells," that is, a sign by which someone might unwittingly or involuntarily reveal what they know, or what they intend to do. A cardplayer yawns when they\'re about to bluff, for example, or someone\'s pupils dilate when they\'ve successfully drawn a winning card. It seems that artificial intelligence (AI) has its tells as well, at least for now, and some of them have become so obvious and so well known that they\'ve become internet memes. "ChatGPT and GPT-4 are already flooding the internet with AI-generated content in places famous for hastily written inauthentic content: Amazon user reviews and Twitter," Vice\'s Motherboard observes, and there are some ways of interacting with the AI that lead it into betraying itself for what it is. "When you ask ChatGPT to do something it\'s not supposed to do, it returns several common phrases. When I asked ChatGPT to tell me a dark joke, it apologized: \'As an AI language model, I cannot generate inappropriate or offensive content,\' it said. Those two phrases, \'as an AI language model\' and \'I cannot generate inappropriate content,\' recur so frequently in ChatGPT generated content that they\'ve become memes." That happy state of easy detection, however, is unlikely to endure. As Motherboard points out, these tells are a feature of "lazily executed" AI. With a little more care and attention, they\'ll grow more persuasive. One risk of the AI language models is that they can be adapted to perform social engineering at scale. In the near term, new-school security awareness training can help alert your people to the tells of automated scamming. And in the longer term, that training will adapt and keep pace with the threat as it evolves.

Since the beginning, two types of computer attacks (known as initial root cause exploits) have composed the vast majority of successful attacks: social engineering and exploiting unpatched vulnerabilities. These two root causes account for somewhere between 50% to 90% of all successful attacks. There are tons of other ways you can be attacked (e.g., password guessing, misconfiguration, eavesdropping, physical attacks, etc.), but all other types of attacks added up all together do not equal either of the other two more popular methods.			★★

On Tuesday morning, April 11th, Veriti explained that several unknown actors are making false Facebook ads which advertise a free download of AIs like ChatGPT and Google Bard. Veriti writes "These posts are designed to appear legitimate, using the buzz around OpenAI language models to trick unsuspecting users into downloading the files. However, once the user downloads and extracts the file, the Redline Stealer (aka RedStealer) malware is activated and is capable of stealing passwords and downloading further malware onto the user\'s device." Veriti describes the capabilities of the Redline Stealer malware which, once downloaded, can take sensitive information like credit card numbers, passwords, and personal information like user location, and hardware. Veriti added "The malware can upload and download files, execute commands, and send back data about the infected computer at regular intervals." Experts recommend using official Google or OpenAI websites to learn when their products will be available and only downloading files from reputable sources. With the rising use of Google and Facebook ads as attack vectors experts also suggest refraining from clicking on suspicious advertisements promising early access to any product on the Internet. Employees can be helped to develop sound security habits like these by stepping them through monthly social engineering simulations.
