Researchers have been able to fool Tesla's autopilot in a variety of ways, including convincing it to drive into oncoming traffic. It requires the placement of stickers on the road. Abstract: Keen Security Lab has maintained the security research work on Tesla vehicle and shared our research results on Black Hat USA 2017 and 2018 in a row. Based on the ROOT privilege of the APE (Tesla Autopilot ECU, software version 18.6.1), we did some further interesting research work on this module.
For the second year in a row, denizens of a large German-language online forum have donated more than USD $250,000 to cancer research organizations in protest of a story KrebsOnSecurity published in 2018 that unmasked the creators of Coinhive , a now-defunct cryptocurrency mining service that was massively abused by cybercriminals. Krebs is translated as “cancer” in German.
The Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) space is maturing to keep pace with digital transformation. Related: CASBs needed now, more than ever. Caz-bees first took shape as a cottage industry circa 2013 to 2014 in response to a cry for help from companies reeling from new Shadow IT exposures : the risk created by early-adopter employees, quite often the CEO, insisting on using the latest smartphone and Software-as-a-Services tools, without any shred of security vetting.
Wow, a weekly update back on the normal schedule! I also realised when watching this back how less tired I look compared to the last few weeks. Travel takes its toll so I touched on that a bit in this week's update, along with the usual raft of new data breaches to go into HIBP. Plus there's Facebook's incidents, both the one they're not directly responsible for and the one they are responsible for, but is also both a bit of a non-event and something that's reflective of broader issues in the in
Automation is transforming finance but without strong financial oversight it can introduce more risk than reward.

We’ll explore how to balance speed with control, boost decision-making through human-machine collaboration, and unlock ROI with fewer errors, stronger fraud prevention, and smoother operations.
This is a pretty awful story of how Andreas Gal, former Mozilla CTO and US citizen, was detained and threatened at the US border. CBP agents demanded that he unlock his phone and computer. Know your rights when you enter the US. The EFF publishes a handy guide. And if you want to encrypt your computer so that you are unable to unlock it on demand, here's mu guide.
Multiple sales subsidiaries of Toyota Motor Corp. were breached in an apparent cyberattack that may have leaked the personal information of up to 3.1 million people in the Tokyo area. Toyota announced the possible breach as being the result of “unauthorized access” to a network server containing customer information in late March, but explained that they were unable to confirm if any data was actually lost.
Companies are embracing hybrid cloud deployments like never before, mixing and matching on-premises IT systems with off-premises cloud services. Related: Machine identities present wide open attack vector. To accomplish this, they must grant and manage access privileges to human identities: remote employees, third-party suppliers and far-flung customers.

From last week's update in Seattle to home to Sydney to back home and a late update (again). But regardless, I'm committed to continuing the cadence of doing these updates each week and 132 of them in, I'm yet to miss a week. This week it's a combination of more of the same (travel, events and data breaches), as well as more thoughts on the future of HIBP and Cloudflare's role when it comes to nasty content online.
A recent article overhyped the release of EverCrypt , a cryptography library created using formal methods to prove security against specific attacks. The Quantum magazine article sets off a series of "snake-oil" alarm bells. The author's Github README is more measured and accurate, and illustrates what a cool project this really is. But it's not "hacker-proof cryptographic code.".
Cyber. Making Software “What Really Works, and Why We Believe It” by Andy Oram and Greg Wilson.

Identity governance and administration, or IGA , has suddenly become a front-burner matter at many enterprises. Related: Identity governance issues in the age of digital transformation. This is, in large part, because the complexity of business networks continues to escalate at a time when compliance mandates are intensifying. I had the chance at RSA 2019 to visit with Mike Kiser, global strategist at SailPoint , an Austin, TX-based supplier of IGA services to discuss this.
Many cybersecurity awareness platforms offer massive content libraries, yet they fail to enhance employees’ cyber resilience. Without structured, engaging, and personalized training, employees struggle to retain and apply key cybersecurity principles. Phished.io explains why organizations should focus on interactive, scenario-based learning rather than overwhelming employees with excessive content.
Security experts at Rapid7 have discovered that over 2 million Apache HTTP servers are still affected by the CVE-2019-0211 critical privilege escalation flaw. An important privilege escalation vulnerability ( CVE-2019-0211 ) affecting the Apache HTTP server could be exploited by users with the right to write and run scripts to gain root on Unix systems via scoreboard manipulation.
This is a fascinating hack: In today's digital age, a large Instagram audience is considered a valuable currency. I had also heard through the grapevine that I could monetize a large following -- or in my desired case -- use it to have my meals paid for. So I did just that. I created an Instagram page that showcased pictures of New York City's skylines, iconic spots, elegant skyscrapers -- you name it.
“90% of attacks start with phishing!*” “Cyber attacks will cost the world 6 trillion by 2020!” We’ve all seen these sorts of numbers from vendors, and in a sense they’re April Fools day numbers: you’d have to be a fool to believe them. But vendors quote insane because there’s no downside and much upside.
The DHS compliance audit clock is ticking on Zero Trust. Government agencies can no longer ignore or delay their Zero Trust initiatives.

Researchers demonstrated that hackers can modify 3D Computer Tomography scans to add or remove evidence of a serious illness, including cancers. A group of researchers from the Ben-Gurion University and the Soroka University Medical Center, Beer-Sheva, in Israel, have demonstrated that hackers can modify 3D medical scans to the result of a clinical examination.
Yet another side-channel attack on smartphones: " Hearing your touch: A new acoustic side channel on smartphones ," by Ilia Shumailov, Laurent Simon, Jeff Yan, and Ross Anderson. Abstract: We present the first acoustic side-channel attack that recovers what users type on the virtual keyboard of their touch-screen smartphone or tablet. When a user taps the screen with a finger, the tap generates a sound wave that propagates on the screen surface and in the air.
“Today, let me contrast two 20-year-old papers on threat modeling. My first paper on this topic, “Breaking Up Is Hard to Do,” written with Bruce Schneier, analyzed smart-card security. We talked about categories of threats, threat actors, assets — all the usual stuff for a paper of that era. We took the stance that “we experts have thought hard about these problems, and would like to share our results.” Around the same time, on April 1, 1999, Loren Kohnfelder and Pr

Really interesting report from Tactical Tech. Data-driven technologies are an inevitable feature of modern political campaigning. Some argue that they are a welcome addition to politics as normal and a necessary and modern approach to democratic processes; others say that they are corrosive and diminish trust in already flawed political systems. The use of these technologies in political campaigning is not going away; in fact, we can only expect their sophistication and prevalence to grow.
In a time of disruption in the security and tech worlds, cybersecurity professionals can't afford to become complacent - even in the face of a skills shortage.
