LastPass breach shows risks of remote work | Ransomware hits US Marshal Service | GoDaddy's spear phishing attacks relies on con artistry, psychological tactics
Last Pass breach
In this episode of the Security Squawk podcast, the hosts analyze the latest cybersecurity incident with LastPass. LastPass, a popular password manager, suffered a data breach in August 2021. The company initially reported that the attackers had gained access to the backup server, but not the encrypted vaults containing user passwords. However, a recent update reveals that the attackers were able to obtain valid credentials for a senior DevOps engineer, giving them access to LastPass' data vault, among other things. The vault contained encryption keys for customer vault backups stored in Amazon S3 buckets. It is unclear whose vaults have been compromised, but the incident highlights the risks associated with remote work and the need for stronger security measures.
Ransomware attack on US Marshal Service
In this episode, the speakers also discuss the ransomware attack which hit the US Marshal Service. The attack targeted systems that contain sensitive law enforcement information, administrative information, and personally identifiable information. It is not known if it was a targeted attack, but it is believed that the attacker exfiltrated data before the attack. It is unlikely that they will turn over the keys for the ransom, especially after the FBI's recent successful takedown of Hive. Additionally, News Corp was breached over a year ago, and employees are only now being notified. It is believed that the Chinese government was behind the attack, and some personal information was compromised. The affected parties are being offered two years of free identity protection and credit monitoring.
GoDaddy Security breach
Further, the hosts discuss a series of security breaches that have recently occurred at GoDaddy, including spear phishing attacks and compromised passwords that have resulted in the theft of sensitive information belonging to thousands of customers. Despite being labeled as the work of "sophisticated threat actors," the author argues that most hacking attacks rely on con artistry and psychological tactics, rather than technical know-how. The article also highlights the importance of domain privacy and the risks associated with transferring domain names to unverified individuals.

The Security Squawk podcast discusses the recent surge of ransomware attacks and their impact on cybersecurity. The hosts talk about the clop ransomware group's breach of 130 organizations using a zero-day vulnerability in the Go Anywhere MFT secure file transfer tool, highlighting the risks associated with file transfer tools that are installed on servers managed by companies and exposed to the internet without proper patching and firewall configurations. The conversation also discusses a recent supply chain breach involving GoAnywhere MFT software, with up to 10-13% of servers compromised, and expresses concern over the vulnerability of these companies and the potential disconnect between security professionals and management.
The article discusses multiple instances of cyber attacks on companies, including Pepsi Bottling Ventures, which was hit with malware that stole employees' personal information, and Nether Manufacturing, which was hit with ransomware. The article also mentions a new ransomware called Mortal Kombat that is targeting systems in the US and highlights the importance of proper security measures and not clicking on suspicious emails or files.
The news segment reports on a series of ransomware attacks in the United States, including on a school, a city, a police network, and a property appraisal website.

Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare - Massive ransomware attacks target VMware ESXi servers worldwide
The Security Squawk Podcast crew discusses cybersecurity. The hosts, Bryan Horning, Reginald Andre, Randy Brian, and Ryan O'Hara, talk about the current state of ransomware attacks happening in the world. They discuss the recent attack on a hospital in Tallahassee, which has led to a security issue, and the hospital has suspended all non-emergency procedures. The word "issue" to describe the attack is noted as being too weak, and the hosts suggest it is being used to minimize public fear and legal implications. The hospital has been targeted due to its large amount of valuable data, making it a high-value target for criminals. The hospital is prioritizing its IT systems and bringing them back online one by one.
Ryan, Randy, and Bryan are discussing the recent ransomware attacks on hospitals and other organizations. They mention that the increase in ransomware attacks was expected due to a combination of factors, including the position of the hackers, the release of vulnerabilities, and the recent boasting of the FBI and Justice Department about their takedown of some cybercrime groups. They also discuss the vulnerability in VMware ESXi servers, a common technology many organizations use for their server infrastructure. The ransomware variant, DougE, is fast and widespread, causing admins to scramble to patch their systems. The recommendation is to apply the patch as soon as possible and to scan for signs of compromise if the system is left unpatched. The vulnerability is considered serious as it gives the attacker's God mode access to all virtual machines running on the VMware ESXi server.
The conversation is about cyber security and the recent ransomware attacks on various organizations. The crew discusses the importance of having an independent cybersecurity risk assessment to understand the full picture of the security situation. They are also discussing the need for regular maintenance and updates to keep systems secure and the importance of educating people about cybersecurity, including the next generation. The cyber experts also mention the recent attack on a chipmaker and a school district, as well as Italy's recent ransomware attack, which was related to the VMware issue. They also mention the use of the Conte ransomware source code by the LockBit ransomware group, highlighting the need for constant vigilance and updates to stay ahead of evolving threats.

NextGen EHR Hack - T-Mobile breached again customer data exposed - TSA No Fly list exposed in hack
Cyber security experts Bryan Hornung, Randy Bryan, Reginald Andre, and Ryan O'Hara discuss a recent cyber attack on NextGen, a healthcare software giant that produces electronic health records and practice management systems for hundreds of large hospitals and clinics in the US, UK, India, and Canada. The company has responded to the attack, stating that they have immediately contained the threat, secured their network, and returned to normal operations. They are conducting a forensic review and have not uncovered evidence of access to or exfiltration of client data. The podcast hosts discuss the lack of information about the attack and speculate about the potential impact on Next Gen's customers.
The cybersecurity experts then discuss a recent cyber attack on T-Mobile that exposed the personal information of 37 million customers. The company has reassured that the hack did not include the most sensitive information that would put customer accounts and finances at risk. However, the group discussing the article expressed concern about T-Mobile's frequent cybersecurity breaches and the need for consumers to assume their data is already out there and take steps to protect it, such as freezing and locking their credit reports.
As a result, T-Mobile customers and the potential for phishing scams and MFA attacks. They also discussed a large-scale credential stuffing attack on PayPal accounts, where hackers used a dictionary of email addresses and passwords to gain access to accounts. The group noted that while PayPal quickly detected the unusual activity and did not report any financial losses, they advised users to change their passwords and enable MFA. They also discussed that many people are not taking the necessary steps to protect their personal information and identity.
The cyber security podcast crew then discussed concerns about the security of the TSA's no-fly list and the ease with which it can be accessed by hackers on unsecured regional airline computers. The speakers express concern about the lack of authentication and security measures in place to protect the list, and worry about the potential for hacking and misuse of the information. They also mention that ransomware payments have gone down but are still at record levels over the last few years. The show concludes with a reminder that there are always new attack vectors to be aware of.

Maternal and family health services hit by ransomware
Cybersecurity podcast Security Squawk Episode 107 - Educating business leaders about cyber threats.
Cybersecurity experts Bryan Hornung, Reginald Andre, Ryan O'Hara, and Randy Bryan sit down to discuss a ransomware attack on a company called Maternal and Family Health Services, in which the hackers had access to their system as far back as August 21, 2021. The cyber security experts discussed the potential lawsuit and the time gap between when the attack was discovered and when the notices were sent out. They also mention that it took the company a long time to figure it out and that personal information such as names, addresses, dates of birth, social security numbers, driver's license numbers, financial account payment, card information, user names, passwords, medical information and health insurance information were compromised.
Then the conversation turned to a ransomware attack that affected around 1000 vessels and their Ship Manager software, a Norwegian-based class society. They discussed the lack of detail provided and its impact on the ships, including the potential for the vessel to be locked out of the software and the need to run the boat manually. They also discussed a recent issue with the FAA system, which they believed to be a cyber attack, but they weren't sure if the information provided was accurate. They also talked about the issue of ransomware attacks affecting schools and organizations and the costly lawsuits that follow, such as the case of Hope College, which is currently facing three lawsuits with one as much as $5 million.

Iowa Schools closed following apparent cyber attack.- Why are schools a massive target for cybercriminals?
On episode 106 of the Security Squawk Podcast, cybersecurity experts Bryan Hornung, Reginald Andre, Randy Bryan, and Ryan O'Hara discuss a cyber attack on a school district in Des Moines Iowa, where classes have been canceled for 33,000 students after a cyber attack on its Technology Network. The hosts discuss the issue and mention that this is a common MO for cyber attacks, where not much information is released. They also mention that this is a more serious issue than in the past and that the school district probably wants to keep negotiations private if there is a ransomware attack.
A follow-up to the Knox Community College ransomware. The school disclosed they investigated and responded to a data breach where sensitive information like personal information, national ID numbers, social insurance numbers, passport numbers, IP addresses, employer identification numbers, medical records, health insurance information, sexual orientation, religion, and union affiliation were exposed. The group expresses their concern and skepticism about the company's statement that there is no indication that any specific information was or will be misused, but they cannot rule out there may be attempts to carry out fraudulent activity. They mention that the data was exposed on the dark web, and the company didn't send out notices till the end of December, which is disturbing. They also discuss that companies often underestimate the value and potential use of their data by cybercriminals, and the lack of education and understanding of the risks involved in a cyber attack. They also mention that the data can be used to ruin people's lives for years and the border crisis and biometric information also being accessible.
We also discuss the sale of credentials for accessing Chick-fil-A accounts on the dark web, with the cyber experts discussing the ease with which criminals could use the information to steal from the accounts. They also discuss the need for companies to have policies in place that dictate what employees should and should not post on internal chat apps like Slack and the need for tools to help automate and police those policies.
