2017-09-22 13:00:00 | Things I hearted this week - September 22 (lien direct) | It’s been another hectic week in the world of Infosec / IT security / Cyber Security (choose as appropriate). So let’s jump straight into it. APT 33 Iran is building up its cyber capabilities and the emergence of a group of hackers, dubbed APT33, has given rise to concerns the nation's cyberwarfare units are looking to launch destructive attacks on critical infrastructure, energy and military bodies. Meet APT33: A Gnarly Iranian Hacker Crew Threatening Destruction |Forbes Threat data, IOCs and information on APT33, aka greenbug | OTX Data breaches and Class action lawsuits Should individuals whose data has been breached have the right to sue companies? It’s a tricky question, and one that the courts are seemingly having trouble on deciding on. Recently, a judge dismissed two consolidated class actions by more than 21m federal employees who had information breached by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). The Judge concluded that the federal employees could not establish their threshold right to sue in federal court because they had not shown they faced imminent risk of identity theft, even though nearly two dozen of those named in the class actions claimed their confidential information has already been misused. Hopefully things will change going forward. The problem with identity theft is that it’s not time-dependant. An attacker could hoard details for a long period before committing a crime. And even when an identity is stolen, it is difficult to tie back to where the breach occurred.
