Countdown: Just 10 days to the 2024 Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony! As the world prepares for this global event, cybersecurity is top of mind for the Olympic Committee. With a history of cyberthreats at previous games, securing the event has been a critical focus, drawing significant media attention in recent months. HYPR CEO, Bojan Simic was recently interviewed on the topic: "We haven't really seen organizations adapt to modern, AI-based attacks involving malware and social engineering," Simic says when asked about the myriad of cyber threats to the upcoming Paris Olympics. "I think they're generally reasonably well prepared," Simic says of the Olympic committee this time around, "but I think their preparations are going to be largely based off of previous attacks... Their ability to stop newer attacks is to be seen." Check out the full article here: https://bit.ly/3WnPjKV #cybersecurity #cyberthreats #ParisOlympics

The attack on client accounts of cloud data giant Snowflake continues to have widespread impact. Today AT&T disclosed a massive data breach affecting approximately 110 million customers, involving call and text records. Like the data breaches announced by Ticketmaster and Santander, the data was stolen when cybercriminals exploited weak authentication practices on Snowflake accounts, allowing them to gain unauthorized access. Orchestrated by the group UNC5537, the attack exploited stolen credentials and inadequate security measures, highlighting the critical importance of robust identity and access management practices. While the stolen AT&T data did not include message content, it did include the phone numbers of both the AT&T customer and the party they were interacting with, as well as call and text counts and call duration. This makes the data a valuable tool for further social engineering attacks. Key Takeaways - MFA is No Longer Optional: Single-factor authentication should be a relic of the past. Snowflake has now made MFA mandatory for administrators, but this should be the norm across all user accounts. - Credential Hygiene is Crucial: Regular rotation of credentials and unique, complex passwords for each service can significantly reduce the risk of credential stuffing attacks. - Continuous Monitoring is Key: The ability to detect and respond to unusual activity quickly can make all the difference in mitigating the impact of a breach. Passkeys: The Path Forward The Snowflake breach presents an opportunity to advocate for more advanced authentication methods, such as passkeys based on the FIDO2 standard. Passkeys offer several advantages that could have potentially prevented or mitigated this incident: - Phishing-Resistant: Passkeys are bound to the legitimate website, making them resistant to phishing attacks. - No Shared Secrets: Passkeys eliminate the need for shared secrets, reducing the risk of credential theft. - Built-in MFA: Passkeys inherently provide multi-factor authentication, combining something you have (your device) with something you are (biometric verification). - Improved User Experience: Passkeys offer a seamless login experience, encouraging wider adoption of strong authentication methods. This incident underscores the importance of robust cybersecurity practices and proactive measures to protect sensitive data. Snowflake has since announced measures to help enforce multi-factor authentication on accounts, which is certainly a step in the right direction. However, the methods available are not phishing-resistant and can also be bypassed by a determined hacker.
