#468: You have to look out for these hacks in 2024! (plus get FREE training)
Big thank you to Cisco for sponsoring this video! (And for the FREE Ethical Hacking Training!)
// Free Ethical Hacking course //
Free Ethical Hacking course: https://skillsforall.com/course/ethic...
// Talos Report //
2024 Q1 Trends: https://blog.talosintelligence.com/ta...
These are the threats you need to be aware of in 2024 from the Talos Report:
* Talos IR also observed a variety of threats in engagements, including data theft extortion, brute-force activ- ity targeting VPNs, and the previously seen commodity loader Gootloader.
* Talos IR responded to new variants of Phobos and Akira ransomware for the first time this quarter as well as the previously seen LockBit and Black Basta ransomware operations.
* A recent Talos IR engagement suggests that Akira has returned to using encryption as an additional extortion method, now deploying a multipronged attack strategy to target Windows and Linux ma- chines.
* Security researchers discovered an MFA bypassing phishing kit called “Tycoon 2FA” that has since become one of the most widespread phishing kits. However, this has yet to appear in any Talos IR engagements.
Firewalls getting hacked:
ArcaneDoor - New espionage-focused campaign found targeting perimeter network devices: https://blog.talosintelligence.com/ar...
AI voice cloning:
The use of voice cloning of voice mails to sound authentic. Attackers use voice clones to phone help desk and reset passwords etc.
2FA is a major issue:
"Users accepting unauthorized MFA push notifications was the top observed security weakness, accounting for 25 percent of engagements this quarter. The lack of proper MFA implementation closely followed, accounting for 21 percent of engagements, a 44 percent decrease from the previous quarter"

#467: Your VPN won't protect you 😱
Rob Braxman, a public interest hacker and technologist, shares compelling insights on the dangers of mass surveillance and digital manipulation. He discusses how machines are already influencing our lives and warns against relying solely on VPNs for privacy. Braxman highlights the concerning reality that technology, like Neuralink, could turn our world into a Skynet scenario. Through his expertise, he emphasizes the importance of awareness and proactive measures to safeguard personal privacy in an increasingly monitored society.
