New Mexico Highlands University and Oklahoma-based East Central University have reported being targeted by separate ransomware intrusions, according to The Record, a news site by cybersecurity firm Recorded Future.

BleepingComputer reports that AT&T has confirmed that more than 51 million of its current and former customers had their personal information compromised as part of a 2021 data leak by ShinyHunters later exposed by MajorNelson last month that was reported to involve information from more than 70 million individuals.

Malware-laced GitHub repositories using popular names and topics are being advanced by threat actors through automated updates and fraudulent stars meant to manipulate the leading software developer platform's search rankings as part of a new open-source supply chain attack, The Hacker News reports.

Several organizations across Germany have been targeted by suspected initial access broker TA547, also known as Scully Spider, with attacks using a generative artificial intelligence-based PowerShell to deliver the Rhadamanthys information-stealing malware, reports BleepingComputer.

The U.S. is the fourth leading purveyor of cybercrime around the world, only behind Russia, Ukraine, and China, based on the World Cybercrime Index compiled by UK and Australian researchers published in the journal PLOS One, Newsweek reports.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY CVSS v4 6.1 ATTENTION: Exploitable remotely/low attack complexity Vendor: Siemens Equipment: RUGGEDCOM APE1808 Vulnerabilities: Network Amplification, Exposure of Sensitive System Information to an Unauthorized Control Sphere, External Control of File Name or Path, Cross-site Scripting, Insufficiently Protected Credentials, Externally Controlled Reference to a Resource in Another Sphere 2. RISK EVALUATION Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities could allow a network-based attacker to conduct reflected and amplified TCP denial-of-service (RDoS) attacks. 3. TECHNICAL DETAILS 3.1 AFFECTED PRODUCTS The following versions of Siemens RUGGEDCOM APE1808, an application hosting platform, are affected: Siemens RUGGEDCOM APE1808: All versions with Palo Alto Networks Virtual NGFW before V11.0.1 3.2 Vulnerability Overview 3.2.1 INSUFFICIENT CONTROL OF NETWORK MESSAGE VOLUME (NETWORK AMPLIFICATION) CWE-406 A PAN-OS URL filtering policy misconfiguration could allow a network-based attacker to conduct reflected and amplified TCP denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. The DoS attack would appear to originate from a Palo Alto Networks PA-Series (hardware), VM-Series (virtual) and CN-Series (container) firewall against an attacker-specified target. To be misused by an external attacker, the firewall configuration must have a URL filtering profile with one or more blocked categories assigned to a source zone that has an external facing interface. This configuration is not typical for URL filtering and, if set, is likely unintended by the administrator. If exploited, this issue would not impact the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of our products. However, the resulting denial-of-service (DoS) attack may help obfuscate the identity of the attacker and implicate the firewall as the source of the attack. We have taken prompt action to address this issue in our PAN-OS software. All software updates for this issue are expected to be released no later than the week of August 15, 2022. This issue does not impact Panorama M-Series or Panorama virtual appliances. This issue has been resolved for all Cloud NGFW and Prisma Access customers and no additional action is required from them. CVE-2022-0028 has been assigned to this vulnerability.
