CyberSec Roundup
A synopsis of the Latest Cybersecurity News
Lockbit Cliams Lex
The LockBit 3.0 has allegedly compromised Lex Caribbean’s network. The ransomware group recently updated their leak site with an entry, claiming to have attacked and stolen data from the law firm’s network. Lex has not confirmed the attack, but Lockbit is threatening to release what they have stolen by 15th February.
Fly Dubai Posted
FlyDubai was recently targeted by AnonymousSudan, as they claimed to have disrupted the airline’s digital infrastructure with a DDOS attack. The pro-Palestinian and Russian hacktivist group carried out the attack on the UAE airline as the group believes the UAE is supporting the rebel Rapid Support Forces in Sudan. FlyDubai has not reported any interruptions in its operations, so the attack may not have been successful.
AnyDesk Hacked
AnyDesk, the company that provides remote access solutions, confirmed a major cyberattack on its production systems. The company remediated the attack with the help of cybersecurity firm, CrowdStrike, but has not confirmed if or what information was stolen during the attack. While the company has reassured customers that no client devices were or will be compromised due to the attack, they have required all customers to reset their passwords the next time they log in.
