Uber security breach 'looks bad', potentially compromising all systems
https://www.zdnet.com/article/uber-security-breach-looks-bad-potentially-compromising-all-systems/
Excerpts:
Hacker is believed to have breached Uber's entire network in a social engineering attack, which one security vendor says is more extensive than the company's 2016 global data breach and access logs potentially altered.
"This looks bad," he said, noting that it was likely hackers now could access whatever data Uber had.
It was not known, though, how the hacker was able to circumvent the two-factor authentication after obtaining the employee's password, Reed noted.

U.S. government offensive cybersecurity actions tied to defensive demands
https://www.csoonline.com/article/3673090/u-s-government-offensive-cybersecurity-actions-tied-to-defensive-demands.html
Excerpt:
These officials and experts say that, for the most part, offensive cyber, if done right and with collaboration among the necessary partners, can lay the groundwork for more robust public and private sector defense. The downside, however, is that a possible misfired offensive hack can cause collateral damage among innocent parties, possibly sparking dangerous real-world responses.

Vice Society claims LAUSD ransomware attack, theft of 500GB of data
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/vice-society-claims-lausd-ransomware-attack-theft-of-500gb-of-data/
Excerpts:
LAUSD says it enrolls more than 640,000 students, from kindergarten through 12th grade, and it includes Los Angeles and areas from 31 smaller municipalities, as well as some Los Angeles County unincorporated sections.
"We have 500 gb of data from their network," a Vice Society representative later told BleepingComputer on Thursday evening but refused to provide proof of the stolen data.
They also steal data from victims' networks before encryption to later use it for double-extortion, threatening to leak the stolen data if their ransom demands aren't met.
===========================================================
Using Wave VSC 2.0 (MFA) with device authentication, and SEDs with Wave SED management would have saved LAUSD from this disaster!! Wave solutions provide awesome security that is unique in its ability to manage and turn on all the different TPMs and SEDs, yet is interoperable!!

===============================================================
Why not beat these hackers to the punch by using SEDs (Self-Encrypting Drives) which are already built-in to most enterprise computers, and just need to be turned on?! It would keep the hackers from stealing your data!!
==============================================================
http://www.wavesys.com/products/wave-self-encrypting-drive-management
Excerpts:
Enterprises choose Wave to manage SEDs
Why? From our single console, you can manage all your organization’s self-encrypting drives (SEDs) easily and remotely, whether they number in the hundreds, or hundreds of thousands.
SEDs are the most secure, best-performing and most transparent encryption option for protecting data on laptops. These drives automatically encrypt all data written to the drive, so you don’t have to decide what’s important enough to encrypt. They also perform this encryption in the hardware of the drive, so you don’t end up with the performance issues software full-disk encryption is infamous for. SEDs are available as HDD or SSD, and are sold by most major drive manufacturers.
Wave’s management solution delivers remote drive initialization, user management, drive locking, user recovery and crypto-erase for all Opal-based, proprietary and solid-state SEDs.

Most IT pros think a company breach could threaten national security
https://www.zdnet.com/article/most-it-pros-think-a-company-breach-could-threaten-national-security/
Excerpts:
When asked, "Do you believe a breach of your organization could potentially constitute a threat to U.S. national security?", you might think most would temper their reaction.
Instead, a hearty 69.4% insisted they thought this was possible.
And yes, 60.7% of them said their company had experienced a cyberattack or data breach in the last year.
One might look at that and think: "Only 60.7% of them are honest enough to admit it?"
==========================================================
What we are relying on today for cybersecurity is not working. We're giving $7500 rebates for EV cars. Securing our country I would argue is even more important, and hardware security is already built-in to billions of devices and needs to be activated!! The government could lead by turning on its hardware security, TPMs (Trusted Platform Modules) and SEDs (Self-Encrypting Drives) with Wave software. We are reaching a crisis point, and are only a few days away from 9/11!! Those doing business with the government and critical industries at a minimum should be turning on their hardware security!! This would arm these organizations with a much better cyber defense!! Their data, devices and networks would be protected!!

Reduce the need for user passwords, with reliance on the device itself as a strong authentication token for access to services and data, including cloud-based functions.
The TPM for mobile devices is uniquely designed to support the security needs of multiple stakeholders, allowing enterprises to provide strong security in end-user applications, satisfy the security requirements of third-party application developers, and support other parties.
Increased emphasis on trusted computing is driving the security industry toward hardware-based technologies that offer improved access control, encryption, and the early detection of malware.

https://www.insurancebusinessmag.com/us/news/cyber/data-breaches-are-costing-more--what-companies-need-to-know-417644.aspx
Excerpts:
Another unique finding was that 83% of organizations in the study have experienced more than one data breach in their lifetime. This “haunting effect” is expected to worsen with security teams handling more cyber incidents every year.
When it comes to securing IT infrastructure, multi-factor authentication is “absolutely critical” for organizations, according to Hamilton. Companies should also install endpoint security software, which allows critical data to be remotely removed from a laptop or device if lost or stolen.
=============================================================
Use better MFA (Multi-Factor Authentication), use Wave VSC 2.0 (MFA)!!! That way your organization won't have to be suffering from data breaches!!

CrowdStrike: Attackers are moving faster, harder to detect
https://www.techtarget.com/searchsecurity/news/252513425/CrowdStrike-Attackers-are-moving-faster-harder-to-detect
Excerpts:
To counter the threats, CrowdStrike recommended that administrators focus on covering their entire network with security protections and pay attention to the human element of attacks. The security company said defenders should be aware of who is targeting their systems and what tactics they may use.
"User awareness programs should be initiated to combat the continued threat of phishing and related social engineering techniques," the company said.
"For security teams, practice makes perfect. Encourage an environment that routinely performs table top exercises and red/blue teaming to identify gaps and eliminate weaknesses in your cybersecurity practices and response."
=============================================================
As of Jan. 31, 2022 Crowdstrike has 16,325 subscription customers.
Wave protects against phishing and keep the unauthorized devices from accessing your network. Wave does this along with its other better security!!
From the article it sounds like Crowdstrike can't do what Wave can! Wave protects data, devices and networks for organizations!!
Crowdstrike and Palo Alto's didn't protect them from data breaches. Maybe it should be SecurId, or Okta's job to protect these organizations. With all of these cybersecurity companies, with 100,000 plus customers (organizations), someone should have protected the 2000 organizations from data breaches!! Some of these 2000 organizations were using Crowdstrike, Palo Alto, SecurId or Okta. They didn't work for stopping these data breaches!!

Cyber-threats are everywhere, but with Wave Virtual Smart Card 2.0 (Wave VSC 2.0) enterprises have a hardware-based, tokenless, two-factor authentication security solution with the security of a hardware token solution and the convenience and cost savings of a software token solution.
Wave VSC 2.0 delivers strong two-factor authentication using the Trusted Platform Module (TPM), the embedded security chip built into enterprise PCs. Wave empowers IT with management of the TPM and VSC 2.0. Companies successfully use Wave VSC 2.0 to secure VPN access, web applications and other certificate-based applications, like Wi-Fi with 802.1x, remote desktop, or Windows-user login. Use the security that’s already been deployed and save money with Wave VSC 2.0.
Every month we see headlines highlighting mammoth breaches (i.e. EBay, JP Morgan Chase, Sony, Target, etc…). In each case, millions of records were stolen, corporate images were tarnished, and enormous costs were incurred as a result. And equally disturbing, more often than not the attacks go undetected and as a result important information is stolen.

Company says a 'small percentage' of customers could have had their data viewed or acted on, and simple maths turns that number into 375 customers.
"The potential impact to Okta customers is NOT limited, I'm pretty certain resetting passwords and MFA would result in complete compromise of many clients systems."
Earlier this month in its fourth-quarter results, the company said it had 15,000 customers, of which 2.5% is 375.
==================================================================
Wave has how many customers, and Okta has 15,000?? Wave with hardware security has better security than Okta. With Wave offering hardware security, one would think that the number of customers would be switched!
==================================================================
Better security at less than half the cost!!

Microsoft confirms Lapsus$ hackers stole source code via ‘limited’ access
https://www.theverge.com/2022/3/22/22991409/lapsus-microsoft-security-windows-source-code
Excerpts:
Lapsus$ says it has accessed data from Okta, Nvidia, Samsung, and Ubisoft
Microsoft maintains that the leaked code is not severe enough to cause an elevation of risk, and that its response teams shut down the hackers mid-operation.
=================================================================
37 GIGABYTES of data were still stolen.
=================================================================
This article makes the light on Wave shine even brighter!!
If these companies had their data protection broken, just think how many organizations are out there that need the better data protection that Wave offers!!

=================================================================
The above excerpt indicates how devices (Lapsus hackers) with stolen credentials wouldn't be allowed access to Microsoft's network (If they used Wave).
This is an advantage that Wave VSC 2.0 has over other MFA!!

Lapsus$ gang says it has breached Okta and Microsoft
https://www.helpnetsecurity.com/2022/03/22/lapsus-okta-microsoft/
Excerpt:
They have also released screenshots from Okta’s internal systems, and said that they did not access any Okta databases, but focused on Okta customers.

Okta hack puts thousands of businesses on high alert
https://www.theverge.com/2022/3/22/22990637/okta-breach-single-sign-on-lapsus-hacker-group
Excerpt:
Okta, an authentication company used by thousands of organizations around the world, has now confirmed one of its employees’ laptops was hacked back in January 2022 and an attacker had access for five days — but claims its service “has not been breached and remains fully operational.”
==================================================================
IF this is how Okta was hacked, they could really use SEDs and Wave SED management and Wave VSC 2.0!
==================================================================
Invest in better security at less than half the cost! Invest in Wave VSC 2.0 and Wave solutions!
Is Okta using hardware-based security to 'harden' its customers' cyber defenses like Wave does?
Wave should be in the driver's seat, not the back seat!!

Lapsus$ hackers leak 37GB of Microsoft's alleged source code
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/lapsus-hackers-leak-37gb-of-microsofts-alleged-source-code/
Excerpts:
However, it may be more than that, as Lapsus$ posted screenshots of their access to what they claim are Okta's internal websites. As Okta is an authentication and identity management platform, if Lapsus$ successfully breached the company, they could potentially use that as a springboard to the company's customers.

"Harden Cyber Defenses": Biden Warns Of Russian Cyberattacks On US Businesses
https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/harden-cyber-defenses-us-president-biden-warns-of-russian-cyberattacks-on-us-businesses-2835260
Excerpt:
"If you have not already done so, I urge our private sector partners to harden your cyber defenses immediately," he said in a statement.
==================================================================
http://www.wavesys.com/wave-alternative
Excerpts:
You have to start with the device
Wave has an alternative: security that’s built into each and every device.
We’re talking about hardware: self-encrypting drives (SEDs), which protect data when a device is stolen or lost, and trusted platform modules (TPMs), or embedded security chips. Both go in at the factory, and increasingly, both are standard. They make it possible for you to monitor and control each individual device and its data, no matter where it is. But you need software to turn on and manage your SEDs and TPMs. Wave makes that software.

Microsoft investigating claims of hacked source code repositories
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/microsoft-investigating-claims-of-hacked-source-code-repositories/
Excerpts:
Microsoft says they are investigating claims that the Lapsus$ data extortion hacking group breached their internal Azure DevOps source code repositories and stolen data.
Instead, they target the source code repositories for large companies, steal their proprietary data, and then attempt to ransom that data back to the company for millions of dollars.
While it is not known if the extortion group has successfully ransomed stolen data, Lapsus has gained notoriety over the past months for their confirmed attacks against NVIDIA, Samsung, Vodafone, Ubisoft, and Mercado Libre.
Early Sunday morning, the Lapsus$ gang indicated that they hacked Microsoft's Azure DevOps server by posting a screenshot on Telegram of alleged internal source code repositories.
=================================================================
Wave can help with BETTER SECURITY AT LESS THAN HALF THE COST!!
=================================================================
http://www.wavesys.com/data-protection
Excerpt:
Wave turns on and manages the self-encrypting drives (SEDs) and trusted platform modules (TPMs), or security chips, that are already embedded in many of your devices. The upshot is that each and every device is equipped with its own data protection system—while being centrally managed. This gives you unprecedented yet straightforward control over exactly who has access to your data, with what devices, over what networks.

Senators: How is DHS hardening US cyber defenses amid Russia-Ukraine conflict?
https://www.scmagazine.com/analysis/apt/senators-how-is-dhs-hardening-us-cyber-defenses-amid-russia-ukraine-conflict
Excerpt:
As officials continue to fret over the possibility of Russian-directed cyberattacks against the U.S., two dozen senators from both parties want to know more about how the Department of Homeland Security and its component agencies are proactively working to harden the digital defenses of the federal government and critical infrastructure.
==================================================================
The hardware security (TPMs and SEDs) is already paid for, and built-in to computers!! It just needs to be turned on in organizations! Just like a mandate got people to wear their seatbelts, a mandate would get hardware security to be turned on!!
It's better protection than software alone! Are we waiting for a severe cyber attack to mandate them to be turned on? This will protect the U.S., and the rest of the world from cyber attacks!!

Hackers claim to breach TransUnion South Africa with 'Password' password
https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/hackers-claim-to-breach-transunion-south-africa-with-password-password/
Excerpts:
According to the company's statement, an unauthorized person obtained access to a server based in South Africa using stolen credentials.
A Brazilian hacking group known as "N4ughtysecTU" has claimed responsibility for the attack and told BleepingComputer that they downloaded 4TB of data during the cyberattack.
Additionally, the hackers told Bleeping Computer they set the ransom demand to $15,000,000 in Bitcoin and threatened to extort TransUnion's customers by demanding an "insurance" payment if a ransom was not paid.
=================================================================
There are more than 15,000,000 reasons why organizations should be using Wave VSC 2.0 to protect their data. ESW could make Wave VSC 2.0, and its great attributes more known to the world so events like this aren't continuously happening!!

NCSC Launches Awareness Campaign to Strengthen Password Practices
https://thecybersecurity.news/general-cyber-security-news/ncsc-launches-awareness-campaign-to-strengthen-password-practices-17608/?nowprocket=1
Excerpts:
The campaign features actionable cybersecurity advice to the community, in line with the UK government’s Cyber Aware advice. The initially of these suggests making use of passwords made up of a few random phrases, ensuring they are exclusive, potent and simpler to bear in mind. The NCSC thinks this approach is a lot more helpful than employing complicated combinations for passwords.
The other advice in the campaign is to allow two-stage verification for on-line accounts, these types of as a code texted to the account holder’s phone. This will supply an added layer of security if a password is compromised.
==================================================================
What would be really helpful to organizations and their employees are for them to use Wave VSC 2.0 so they don't have to keep dealing with passwords!! That would be simpler and more secure!!
==================================================================

Token-free, password-free user authentication
We know you’ve dreamt about shredding your list of passwords. Go on and do it.
Because you are starting the authentication process in the device’s hardware, the user doesn’t have to interact with it. All users see is their usual Windows log-in screen – no more additional passwords to access the VPN or other resources. They just sign in once, and the secure credentials in their TPMs securely and quickly connect them to everything they need. Say goodbye to user frustration and slow OS performance.
=================================================================
http://www.wavesys.com/products/wave-virtual-smart-card
The user experience with a virtual smart card is simple: he or she logs in with a PIN (authentication factor number one). The TPM (authentication factor number two) then transparently identifies the device to the network and connects the user to all the approved services. It’s one less thing for users to carry around.
