Researchers are calling a recent cybersecurity attack the “mother of all data breaches,” with over 20 brands affected and over 100 billion records leaked. Cybernews Head of Security Research Mantas Sasnauskas implied that most of the population is likely to have been affected – with brands including Tencent, LinkedIn, X, Venmo, Canva, Apollo, and Adobe. Researchers said the compromised data set included usernames and passwords, setting the stage for a wide-scale attack (https://ibn.fm/tMLVT).
The attack can be especially dangerous for those using the same password across multiple accounts. If a hacker knows an email or username and password combination, attacks can target accounts using the same combination to gain access to more sensitive data, like email or bank accounts. This type of attack is called “credential stuffing,” where a hacked individual can have their accounts compromised across multiple services in a matter of minutes, creating a more devastating trail of destruction.
A recent attack on the website of the Pennsylvania’s state courts agency shows that no organization is immune to the threat of a cyberattack. The FBI calls the attack a “denial of service” cyberattack, where hackers flood the targeted host or network with traffic until the target cannot respond or crashes, preventing access for legitimate users. There is no report of court data being compromised, but the investigation is ongoing (https://ibn.fm/z7hoP).
