- According to Trend Micro, the threat groups responsible for RedLine and Vidar have been employing identical techniques to propagate both ransomware and info-stealers. The attackers are using Extended Validation (EV) code signing certificates to sign the malware.
- LastPass users are in danger of falling victim to a highly persuasive phishing email, which resembles the aftermath of last year’s security breach. The email asks users to verify their personal data or risk losing access to certain features.
- The personal information of thousands of officers from Greater Manchester Police in the U.K. has been compromised due to a ransomware attack on a third-party supplier.
