Breaking Laptop Fingerprint Sensors (lien direct) |
They’re not that good:
Security researchers Jesse D’Aguanno and Timo Teräs write that, with varying degrees of reverse-engineering and using some external hardware, they were able to fool the Goodix fingerprint sensor in a Dell Inspiron 15, the Synaptic sensor in a Lenovo ThinkPad T14, and the ELAN sensor in one of Microsoft’s own Surface Pro Type Covers. These are just three laptop models from the wide universe of PCs, but one of these three companies usually does make the fingerprint sensor in every laptop we’ve reviewed in the last few years.

Get the AT&T Cybersecurity Insights Report: Focus on Transportation (lien direct) |
We’re pleased to announce the availability of the 2023 AT&T Cybersecurity Insights Report: Focus on Transportation. The report examines the edge ecosystem, surveying transportation IT leaders from around the world, and provides benchmarks for assessing your edge computing plans. This is the 12th edition of our vendor-neutral and forward-looking report. Last year’s focus on transportation report documented how we secure the data, applications, and endpoints that rely on edge computing (get the 2022 report).
Get the complimentary 2023 report.
The robust quantitative field survey reached 1,418 security, IT, application development, and line of business professionals worldwide. The qualitative research tapped subject matter experts across the cybersecurity industry. Transportation-specific respondents equal 202.
At the onset of our research, we established the following hypotheses.
Momentum edge computing has in the market.
Approaches to connecting and securing the edge ecosystem – including the role of trusted advisors to achieve edge goals.
Perceived risk and perceived benefit of the common use cases in each industry surveyed.
The results focus on common edge use cases in seven vertical industries – healthcare, retail, finance, manufacturing, energy and utilities, transportation, and U.S. SLED- delivering actionable advice for securing and connecting an edge ecosystem, including external trusted advisors. Finally, it examines cybersecurity and the broader edge ecosystem of networking, service providers, and top use cases.
The role of IT is shifting, embracing stakeholders at the ideation phase of development.
Edge computing is a transformative technology that brings together various stakeholders and aligns their interests to drive integrated business outcomes. The emergence of edge computing has been fueled by a generation of visionaries who grew up in the era of smartphones and limitless possibilities. Look at the infographic below for a topline summary of key findings in the transportation industry.
In this paradigm, the role of IT has shifted from being the sole leader to a collaborative partner in delivering innovative edge computing solutions. In addition, we found that transportation leaders are budgeting differently for edge use cases. These two things, along with an expanded approach to securing edge computing, were prioritized by our respondents in the 2023 AT&T Cybersecurity Insights Report: Edge Ecosystem.
One of the most promising aspects of edge computing is its potential to effectively use near-real-time data for tighter control of variable operations such as inventory and supply chain management that deliver improved operational efficiency. Adding new endpoints is essential for collecting the data, but how they’re connected can make them vulnerable to cyberattacks. Successful cyberattacks can disrupt services, highlighting the need for robust cybersecurity measures.
Edge computing brings the data closer to where decisions are made.
With edge computing, the intelligence required to make decisions, the networks used to capture and transmit data, and the use case management are distributed. Distributed means things work faster because nothing is backhauled to a central processing area such as a data center and delivers the near-real-time experience.
With this level of complexity, it’s common to re-evaluate decisions regarding security, data storage, or networking. The report shares emerging trends as transportation continues exploring edge computing use cases. One area that’s exam |

Les prédictions cyber 2024 du Threat Lab WatchGuard (lien direct) |
Paris, le 29 novembre 2023 – WatchGuard® Technologies, l'un des leaders mondiaux de la cybersécurité unifiée publie ses prévisions pour 2024 en matière de cybersécurité. Le rapport couvre les attaques et les tendances en matière de sécurité de l'information qui, selon l'équipe de recherche du WatchGuard Threat Lab, émergeront en 2024, telles que : la manipulation des modèles linguistiques basés sur l'IA (les LLM ou Large Language Model qui ont donné naissance à des outils tels que ChatGPT ) ; les " Vishers " qui étendent leurs opérations malveillantes grâce aux chatbots vocaux basés sur l'IA ; les piratages de casques VR/MR modernes.
Corey Nachreiner, Chief Security Officer chez WatchGuard Technologies explique : " Chaque nouvelle tendance technologique ouvre de nouveaux vecteurs d'attaque pour les cybercriminels. En 2024, les menaces émergentes ciblant les entreprises et les particuliers seront encore plus intenses, complexes et difficiles à gérer. Face à la pénurie de profils qualifiés en cybersécurité, le besoin de fournisseurs de services managés (MSP), de sécurité unifiée et de plateformes automatisées pour renforcer la cybersécurité et protéger les entreprises contre un éventail de menaces en constante évolution n'a jamais été aussi grand ".
Voici un résumé des principales prévisions de l'équipe du WatchGuard Threat Lab en matière de cybersécurité pour 2024 :
L'ingénierie de pointe permettra de manipuler les grands modèles de langages (LLM) : Les entreprises et les particuliers ont recours aux LLM pour améliorer leur efficacité opérationnelle. Or, les acteurs de la menace apprennent à exploiter les LLM à leurs propres fins malveillantes. En 2024, le WatchGuard Threat Lab prévoit qu'un ingénieur de requêtes avisé, qu'il s'agisse d'un attaquant criminel ou d'un chercheur, pourra déchiffrer le code et manipuler un LLM pour qu'il divulgue des données privées.
Les ventes d'outils d'hameçonnage ciblé basés sur l'IA vont exploser sur le dark web : Les cybercriminels peuvent d'ores et déjà acheter sur le marché noir des outils qui envoient des emails non sollicités, rédigent automatiquement des textes convaincants et épluchent Internet et les médias sociaux à la recherche d'informations et de connaissances relatives à une cible particulière. Toutefois, bon nombre de ces outils sont encore manuels et les attaquants doivent cibler un seul utilisateur ou groupe de personnes à la fois. Les tâches clairement formatées de ce type se prêtent parfaitement à l'automatisation par le biais de l'intelligence artificielle et de l'apprentissage automatique. Il est donc probable que les outils alimentés par l'IA deviendront des best-sellers sur le dark web en 2024.
L'hameçonnage vocal (vishing) basé sur l'IA aura le vent en poupe en 2024 : Bien que la voix sur IP (VoIP) et la technologie de l'automatisation facilitent la composition en masse de milliers de numéros, une fois qu'une victime potentielle se présente, un escroc humain est toujours nécessaire pour l'attirer dans ses filets. Ce système limite l'ampleur des opérations de vishing. Mais en 2024, la situation pourrait changer. WatchGuard prévoit que la combinaison de deepfake audio convaincants et de LLM capables de mener des conversations avec des victimes peu méfiantes augmentera considérablement l'ampleur et le volume des appels de vishing. Qui plus est, ces appels pourraient même ne p |

Proofpoint\'s 2024 Predictions: Brace for Impact (lien direct) |
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. Th |
