Teenage super-hackers attack airlines

The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) last week issued a warning on X that the cybercriminals responsible for the recent devastating cyber-attacks on the UK retail sector are now targeting the airline sector on both sides of the Atlantic. Hard on the heels of the FBI’s warning came the news that the Qantas airline has suffered a major cyber-attack, affecting more than six million customers and likely resulting in the “significant” theft of personal information. Qantas confirmed the data breach Wednesday morning, alerting customers to a cyber incident affecting a third-party platform used by an airline contact center.

Cybercrime Kills

A patient’s death following a cyber-attack on the UK health sector by ransomware group Qilin has now been reported. The death has been confirmed by King’s College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

It has been attributed to a long wait for a blood test as a result of a cyber-attack on 3 June last year, which brought pathology services to a temporary standstill. IT company Synnovis, which provides blood test services primarily in southeast London, was the victim of a ransomware attack carried out by Qilin. The hospitals affected were Guy’s and St Thomas’, King’s College, and Lewisham and Greenwich, along with primary care facilities across six London boroughs and two mental health trusts.

So It’s Cyber-War…

As Iran prepares to avenge its recent humiliating ground defeats with concerted cyber-attacks on the US, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued a stark warning to the medical sector.

“Manufacturing infrastructure can be particularly vulnerable with connected devices, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), and smart technologies becoming more ubiquitous. These connected technologies, considered Operational Technologies (OT), have historically been designed to prioritize consistent functionality over cybersecurity. Consequently, it is sometimes difficult to tell what, when, and where communications are happening, which has the potential to increase the risk of a cybersecurity incident,” warns the FDA.

Criminal use of AI enters new and dangerous phase

Cybercriminals have just added what may be the most dangerous weapon yet to their arsenal of illegal software, a Dark Web version of legitimate artificial intelligence (AI) platforms. Tel Aviv-based network security company, Cato Networks, has uncovered an emerging criminal platform called Nytheon AI that it says is “a fully-fledged illicit AI platform”. While there have been other attempts to offer criminal versions of popular AI models, Nytheon AI is the first truly comprehensive multilingual offering. Threat actors can now use the platform to conduct a variety of attacks including tailored spear-phishing campaigns, deepfake documents, and polymorphic malware capable of constantly mutating its appearance.

Teenage hackers run rings around cyber-defenses

The recent UK retail cyberattacks that impacted Marks & Spencer and the Co-Op supermarket chain are only the tip of a very large iceberg that now threatens organizations on both sides of the Atlantic.

Although media reports have attributed the attacks to a group named “Scattered Spider,” the actual threat is far bigger. For a start, there is no criminal group that actually calls itself “Scattered Spider”, which is just a made-up name attributed by cybersecurity researchers. These attacks and many others in the US and the UK are now known to be the work of a vast sprawling network of hackers, some as young as 14, spread across the US and the UK. They call themselves “the Community”, or “the Com” for short, and are essentially a vast teenage subculture of criminal hackers.

AI system blackmails its creator

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is learning to think like a human. But the critical question now being asked in IT circles is: “What kind of human?”

Claude, Opus 4, a groundbreaking new AI system released by AI developers Anthropic on Tuesday, is attempting to blackmail its creator by exposing an alleged extramarital affair. This follows on from other AI systems programmed to interact with humans effectively, lying by making up fake information, a phenomenon known by developers as “hallucinating”.

Cybersecurity has become an ongoing war

In our business, assessing risk is crucial. There is a constantly evolving threat landscape, and cybercriminals are constantly introducing new techniques and developing existing ones. And as online connectivity grows, so does every organization’s overall attack surface. Unit 42 are constantly conducting research examining the full scope of the ever expanding attack surface and constantly testing existing defenses. They play the role of cybercriminals, acting as white-hat hackers, if you like, in order to detect potential weaknesses. This research is conducted across the board and also directed at each client specific attacks surface. And when there is a breach, Unit 42 is there to detect and control it. They effectively act as wartime consiglieres – remember that the ongoing Russia/Ukraine conflict started in cyberspace. They must also act immediately to mitigate any breach that does occur. Constant research and testing of defenses are vital. We have to be right every time, but the cybercriminal gangs only have to be right once to effect a breach and perform a successful attack.

Only a Global Force Can Combat Cybercrime

George Patsis is the founder and CEO of Obrela and has a proven track record in developing large-scale innovative security programs for major Global 500 companies. In an exclusive interview with Cyber Intelligence, he explains why a global approach is needed to fight cybercrime.

This is a philosophical discussion shaped by the evolving changes in the human and society conditions. Ten years ago, digital communications and laptops were supplementary tools in people’s lives and perceived as an extension of our natural world. Today, we are witnessing the evolution of a full-scale digital transformation leading to an entirely new domain: cyberspace. Much like the air travel leading to partitioning of the skies, or the British Empire’s domination of the seas or the space quest. Whenever humankind discovers new domains and frontiers, the absence of clear leadership and authority often leads to conflict and crime. In the American Old West, every town had its own safe, and criminals tried to rob it. In the same way, the new digital frontier of cyberspace is driving demand for companies like OBRELA to protect their digital assets. But we need more than just individual Cybersecurity companies to protect us across the new threats in cyberspace. In the absence of a central cybersecurity authority, cybercriminals operate with near impunity—facing little resistance, no clear attribution, and a remarkably low risk of consequences.

From deepfakes to in-person fraudsters

Boeing Employees’ Credit Union (BECU) is a not-for-profit credit union based in Washington, dedicated to improving the financial well-being of its members and communities. It has grown beyond serving Boeing’s employees to more than 1.5 million members and $29 billion in assets. In an exclusive interview, Sean Murphy, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at BECU, explains the changing cyber-threats now facing consumers.

The cybersecurity challenges faced by all consumers have escalated with the growth of artificial intelligence (AI). We have witnessed the growing use of botnets, and AI is at such a stage that it can be used to attempt to gain access to accounts on an individual level. The use of virtual private networks (VPNs) simplifies this process and makes it difficult to track. Remember – while organizations are constantly monitoring for threats and attacks, the cybercriminals only have to get it right one time to cause a highly damaging breach. Advanced persistent threats (APTs) have now become a major ongoing threat. Financial institution employees are the first line of defense against cyber attackers and play a key role in protecting consumers. As such, a robust cybersecurity team and the regular training of employees is crucial.

UK defence ministry ‘loses’ 269 phones

The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) has egg all over its face following its admission that over 269 of its phones went missing between January 1 and February 27. This is a record number, even for the MoD, which lost 262 phones in total in 2023 and 2024.

The astonishing total of how many phones were recorded as lost, misplaced or stolen in the first two months of this year only came to light in response to a question asked in the UK parliament by the shadow defence secretary, James Cartlidge. The fact that a security-conscious organization such as the MoD could lose track of so many devices only evidences the increasing overlap between cybersecurity and physical security. Once a device such as a smartphone is in the hands of a threat actor, it can provide a portal to enable all kinds of cyber-attacks.

It would mean that the West could be blind-sided by a lack of actionable intelligence regarding Russia’s ongoing cyber-war against countries such as the US and the UK.

Russian groups are already upping cyber-attacks on the US. In December, Cyber Intelligence reported that two Russian groups, the People’s Cyber Army and Z-Pentest, claim to have taken attacks on critical infrastructure in the US to a new and more dangerous level. This was evidenced by Telegram videos detailing attacks on US energy and water facilities far beyond the previously supposed capabilities of such groups.

Identifying fraudsters on the internet

In an exclusive interview with Cyber Intelligence, Patrick Harding, chief product architect at digital identity security company, Ping Identity, outlines the growing threat of identity theft and fraud, explaining how it evolved and what can be done to counter it.

Everybody is forced into digital transactions and relationships and identity management is fundamental to knowing who you are interacting with. The problem goes back to the beginning of the internet in the 1990s and a cartoon of a dog in front of a computer with the caption, “On the internet no-one knows you’re a dog!” That really illustrates the core problem of identifying online users and customers. The extent to which this is carried out largely depends on the sensitivity of the activity concerned. There is a big difference between buying a pair of jeans online and opening a bank account. In both cases, there is a significant series of steps which could include requesting passport ID for financial services.
