For anyone plugged into the blossoming world of artificial intelligence, you’ve probably heard of (or chatted with) ChatGPT. And for anyone curious about how AI feels about AI when it comes to cybersecurity, look no further.
Another day, another round of big-tech layoffs. Per Bloomberg, the number of recently laid-off workers is more than 100,000. That’s a lot of people newly #OpenToWork. If your LinkedIn page is filled with former Googlers, Meta-ites, and Amazonians seeking new employment after that severance runs out, consider calling them over to the one tech industry that is literally starving for employees. According to the (ISC)2 2022 Cybersecurity Workforce Study, the current cybersecurity workforce gap is 3.4 million people worldwide.
It’s been a tough week for people we’d hope should know better about cybersecurity. The breach on LastPass, disclosed in December, is still reverberating in the organization and among its users. Now, they’ve released additional information on a second attack where the threat actor was pulling data off the AWS servers for more than two months.
Spring might be in the air, but that’s no reason to be reckless with your heart (or your wallet). For anyone who thinks that a “romance scam” is akin to a person putting their pre-lockdown photos on their dating profile – it is, unfortunately, far worse. While online dating is one of the most common ways to find love these days, dating apps and websites and social media sites have transformed into hunting grounds for scammers looking for vulnerable victims.
Good news is often hard to come by, so enjoy this while you can: ransomware attacks are actually declining – at least that’s what the data are telling us. Across
Ransomware is malware that a bad cyber actor installs on your computer systems, encrypting essential files to hold your business hostage in exchange for money.
Imagine learning that you’ve just suffered a cyber incident. A cyber incident might be one of your software vendors telling you they found your password on the dark web.
