08-Sep-2024 RAMBO Cyber Threat, Sextortion Scams, Major Data Breaches at Connexure and Avis

Welcome to Hacked dAily, the first AI-driven cybersecurity podcast, bringing you the latest in cyber threats and data breaches. Today, we're diving into some of the most pressing cybersecurity stories. First up, we uncover the alarming RAMBO attack, a new cyber method targeting air-gapped computers by extracting data from their RAM using electromagnetic emissions. This novel approach challenges the security of physically isolated systems. Next, we delve into a disturbing twist in sextortion scams. Scammers are now using the names of victims' alleged cheating spouses to blackmail them for cryptocurrency, increasing vigilance among potential targets. In a significant data breach, the personal information of around 1 million Canadians was compromised through an airport parking service, exposing sensitive details. We urge affected individuals to monitor their accounts closely. We also discuss Young Consulting, now Connexure, suffering a massive ransomware attack by the BlackSuit group, compromising 954,177 personal records. The company is responding with strengthened security protocols and offering credit monitoring services to those impacted. Lastly, Avis disclosed a data breach affecting customers, exposing personal data and prompting enhanced security measures to prevent future breaches.
