New Ransomware LunaLock Threatens Data Exposure; Jaguar Land Rover Breach Confirmed
A new ransomware group, LunaLock, has emerged with a unique extortion tactic, threatening to publish stolen data. Meanwhile, Jaguar Land Rover admits a potential data breach, and cybercriminals target Salesforce instances. A new phishing kit, Salty2FA, is causing concern among US and EU enterprises.
LunaLock, led by a Ukrainian national known for global attacks, launched its first strike last week. Instead of the usual data encryption, LunaLock threatens to expose stolen data if ransoms aren't paid. This new tactic has security experts on high alert.
In other news, Jaguar Land Rover has confirmed a potential data breach. The car manufacturer admits that hackers may have accessed their systems, though the extent of the breach remains unclear.
Cybercriminal groups UNC6040 and UNC6395 have been exploiting Salesforce instances. They gain access to sensitive data and use it for extortion. Salesforce users are urged to enhance their security measures.
A new phishing kit, Salty2FA, is targeting US and EU enterprises. This sophisticated kit bypasses two-factor authentication, making it a significant threat to businesses.
The emergence of LunaLock and the ongoing threats from other cybercriminal groups highlight the evolving nature of cybercrime. As companies like Jaguar Land Rover fall victim to data breaches, it's crucial for businesses to stay vigilant and proactive in their cybersecurity efforts. Meanwhile, the shutdown of Calcio, one of Italy's most-visited illicit sports streaming networks, serves as a reminder that law enforcement is actively working to combat online criminal activities.
