Don't Breach Where You Eat

Still reeling from last year’s data breach, password manager LastPass recently shared that the same attacker who targeted the organization in August has struck again, this time using stolen data to hack an employee’s home computer.

Join Matt Radolec and David Gibson as they walk you through the multi-stage attack, revisiting the discussion of the initial intrusion and outlining how that stolen data was weaponized months later to breach the company’s vault.

Matt and David will also spotlight recent vulnerabilities that you should keep an eye on and discuss the meteoric rise of wiperware.

We cover:

The anatomy of the LastPass attack and the threats of secret and password scanning after a breach
New malware and ransomware frameworks
The increase in wiperware that’s destroying data rather than holding it for ransom
And of course some wins on the cybersecurity front (let’s not forget the good news!)
