Traditional phishing involves attackers sending fake, malicious links disguised as legitimate messages to trick victims into revealing sensitive information or installing malware. However, phishing attacks have become increasingly advanced, introducing what experts call "phishing 2.0" and psychological phishing.  Phishing 2.0 leverages AI to analyse publicly available data, such as social media profiles and public records, to craft highly personalized and convincing messages. These tailored attacks significantly increase the likelihood of success. Psychological manipulation also plays a role in phishing schemes. Attackers exploit emotions like fear and trust, often creating a sense of urgency to pressure victims into acting impulsively. By impersonating trusted entities, such as banks or employers, they pressure victims into following instructions without hesitation.  AI has further amplified the efficiency and scale of phishing attacks. Cybercriminals use AI tools to generate convincing scam messages rapidly, launch automated campaigns and target thousands of individuals within minutes. Tools like ChatGPT, when misused in “DAN mode”, can bypass ethical restrictions to craft grammatically correct and compelling messages, aiding attackers who lack English fluency.  ]]> 2025-02-17T00:00:00+00:00 https://www.cyberskills.ie/explore/news/the-growing-threat-of-phishing-attacks-and-how-to-protect-yourself--.html www.secnews.physaphae.fr/article.php?IdArticle=8648755 False Malware,Tool,Vulnerability,Threat ChatGPT 3.0000000000000000 Cyber Skills - Podcast Cyber As Valentine\'s day approaches, many people are looking to connect with others online. While online dating can be a great way to meet new people, it is also important to be aware of the potential dangers. Romance scams, where fraudsters use fake profiles to financially and emotionally exploit victims are becoming more common. These scammers manipulate their victims into sending money under false pretenses. They often succeed by building trusting relationships over long periods of time.   Warning signs of Romance Scams Scammers typically gain trust by showering their target with attention and compliments before eventually asking them for money. They may claim it\'s for travel expenses, medical emergencies (typically of a child), or a business opportunity that would help to bring the relationship closer. Common red flags can include rushing the relationship, avoiding personal questions and refusing to meet in person. They may also try to move conversation off dating platforms to a less secure platform to avoid being detected as a scam. If someone you have met online asks for financial help, it\'s a major warning sign.   How to protect yourself Use trusted dating websites with strong security measures Keep personal details private and be cautious when sharing information Never send money or provide financial assistance to someone that you haven\'t met in person. Be careful with your webcams, as scammers often try to exploit video recordings as ransom. Trust your instincts - if something feels off, it probably is.   At CyberSkills, We\'re committed to helping people stay safe online.

Key Takeaways: NIS2 Directive Awareness: Only 25% of executives are aware of the NIS2 directive, due to be transposed into Irish law by mid-October. Compliance Rates: Just 20% of Irish firms are currently compliant with NIS2. Potential Fines: NIS2 carries potential fines of up to €10 million or 2% of total worldwide annual turnover for non-compliance. Cyber Attack Statistics: 71% of Irish businesses suffered at least one cyber attack last year, with Ireland recording the highest median number of attacks among all countries studied. Operational Risks: The recent global IT outage caused by a faulty update from CrowdStrike highlights the potential operational disruption and financial losses from cyber attacks. As Jackie stresses, “The far-reaching consequences of a cyber attack could result in massive operational disruption and severe financial losses.” As the NIS2 compliance deadline approaches, it\'s crucial for businesses to take proactive steps to beef up their cybersecurity measures. At Cyber Skills, expert-led courses are offered to help organisations meet NIS2 requirements and strengthen their cybersecurity defences. Businesses should not wait until it\'s too late. Preparing now is essential to protect against cyber threats and avoid hefty fines. For more details, read the full article by Adrian Weckler here.

As part of his work, Simone, assessed the performance overhead and possible mitigation in cloud native systems secured with a service mesh, which allows enabling security policies for the authentication, authorization and encryption of traffic within distributed systems. The side-car proxy is a core component of this architecture, acting as a policy enforcement point and intercepting networking communication from/to applications part of the mesh, consequently affecting the performance of applications hosted in the cloud. Physical resources are required to operate the control plane and data plane, while latency is affected by the enforcement of security policies and encryption. We configured a cloud environment consisting of a managed Kubernetes cluster, deployed a cloud native synthetic application, configured service mesh, tested the performance under load and analyzed results to establish the overhead in terms of latency, CPU and memory. The analysis is performed on both data and control plane. Additionally, a performance enhancement was explored with the use of extended Berkeley Packet Filter technology which operates at the Linux Kernel level.

Fast forward to September and a collaboration between Cyber Skills, Safe Ireland and Cyber Awareness Ireland (CAI) - National Cyber Security Awareness Task Force, led to the launch of the #RedFlagsAreAbuse campaign, which highlights even further how digital technology facilitates coercive control.  Through a series of billboards across Cork city and an online conversation, we are exposing three different scenarios that people may think are “normal”: Incessant contact - when the perpetrator constantly contacts and keeps tabs on the victim across multiple platforms. This creates a feeling there is no escape from the individual even when physically apart from one another. Location-sharing - demanding that the victim always has location sharing turned on serves as a means of keeping tabs on the victim. Restricting access to finances - with digital banking, the person can not only control access to money but can also monitor spending activity in real-time.

The segment covers the devastating cyber attack on the HSE, the gangs behind the crime, how it was orchestrated and the implications for those affected. RTE Prime Time Security Correspondent Barry Cummins interviews Security Consultant at BH Consulting, Brian Honan, who describes how an attack like this can occur and how they are happening globally; Security Researcher Darren Martyn outlines the ecosystem that exists within Cyber Crime and why some choose to pay the ransom; and Russian Investigative Journalist, Andrei Soldatov, explains why it is so difficult to bring cyber criminals to justice.  Following the report, Prime Time presenter Sarah Mc Inerney talks to Founding CEO of GCHQ\'s Cybersecurity Centre, Professor Ciaran Martin, about the HSE attack and whether to pay the ransom. Dr. Donna O\'Shea discusses the importance of cybersecurity and how protecting your network, system and your data is essential as the data you store is extremely valuable to cyber criminals who want to exploit it. "Cybersecurity is essential to prevent cyber criminals from gaining access to this data," Donna explains. "Once an attacker gets access beyond the firewall, it is soft and gooey and the entity or attacker is actually trusted. This means the attack can move across the network and can have a profound impact in terms of affecting the performance of the network."
