This week in security news, news ending August 8, 2020

I’m a little bit late with this one but this week in security news for this past week has some very inteeresting things in it.

I think the big thing for this past week’s news is in regards to programming industrial systems to do jobs. There’s now a thing called Smart Factories, and its only going to get worse if the programming for them is not going to be updated. I’ve not read the article, but if this interests you, click on through.

The other big news is Water Nue Phishing Campaign Targets C-Suite’s Office 365 Accounts which really talks about this particular threat. Trend Micro named this threat, and the article really goes in to their MO.

As part of our discussion of Phishing for tomorrow, we’ll have to talk about Business Email Compromise, and its effect. Because of the pandemic, its not going to be going away any time soon.

A third item is talking about … what else? Covid-19 and the landscape we nbow live in. Instead of going after the individual, cyberactors are going after the companies with the big bucks, and it is only going to get worse as this year progresses.

If you’re interested in the big time deal with many articles talking about the industrial aspect of our security, than this last week’s security news is where you’ll want to go. This Week in Security News: Robots Running the Industrial World Are Open to Cyber Attacks and Industrial Protocol Translation Gone Wrong is the blog post, and I urge people to check out the new phishing attack if nothing else. Thanks so much for reading!
