#CybersecurityAwarenessMonth AI tools are fueling a dramatic 42% surge in the amount of leaked credentials circulating for sale on the dark web (TechRadar). Many organizations remain unaware of the full scope of these leaks until it’s too late because breach disclosures are often delayed or incomplete. The consequences of credential leakage are severe. Stolen credentials can lead to 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐨𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬, 𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐞𝐱𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐲𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐞𝐬.

🔍 Data Breach Search Engines – Know if Your Data Has Been Leaked In today’s digital world, data breaches happen more often than we’d like to admit. Personal and corporate credentials, emails, and sensitive data can end up exposed online without you even realizing it. Here are some popular data breach search engines where you can check if your email, password, or domain has been compromised: • intelx.io • leakcheck.net • snusbase.com • haveibeenpwned.com • leakpeek.com • breachchecker.com • leak-lookup.com • weleakinfo.to • leakcheck.io 🧠 CyberHunter Tip: Regularly monitor your credentials, rotate passwords, and enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) to minimize risks. At CyberHunter.biz, we help organizations detect exposure early, respond effectively, and strengthen their security posture. #CyberSecurity #DataBreach #ThreatIntelligence #Infosec #CyberHunter #DataProtection

Cybercriminals only go after the big guys? Afraid not. SMEs in Europe are hit by phishing, ransomware, and data breaches every single day — often because they didn’t think a basic security check was worth it. The fallout? 💥 Everything stops: lost files & locked systems ensue. 💸 You pay – hackers, fines, or both. 🔓 Customer trust? Gone in a click. That “we’re too small to be a target” mindset? That’s the real risk. 👉 Let’s talk cybersec: https://lnkd.in/d3-NjN4F #StaySecure #PhishingProtection #CyberSmartSMEs #DACHbusiness #RansomwareRisks

Ransomware of the week CYFIRMA Research and Advisory Team would like to highlight ransomware trends and insights gathered while monitoring various forums. This includes multiple – industries, geography, and technology – that could be relevant to your organization. White Lock Ransomware Researchers have identified a new ransomware strain known as White Lock, which functions by encrypting user data and appending the .fbin extension to affected files. Once the encryption process is complete, the malware generates a ransom note in a file titled “c0ntact.txt”, where instructions to the victim are provided. The encryption mechanism ensures that files cannot be accessed without the corresponding decryption key held by the attackers, effectively locking the victim out of their own data. The ransom notes contained in c0ntact.txt informs the victim that their network has been compromised, with both encryption and data exfiltration carried out during the attack. It states that the attackers demand 4 Bitcoin as payment, giving the victim a four-day deadline. The message outlines a sequence of consequences if the ransom is not met notifying customers of the breach, selling the stolen data to competitors, publishing it on the dark web, and eventually releasing it openly online. The note also includes explicit warnings against contacting law enforcement, using third-party recovery tools, or attempting manual decryption, claiming that such actions could result in permanent data loss. Victims are directed to use the Tor Browser to access a provided onion URL, where they are instructed to log in with a client ID to initiate communication with the attackers.

Seems most Healthcare orgs are focused on HIPAA compliance, which mostly addresses Confidentiality /Identity access Management, and are missing the mark on good overall Cyber Security. This undoubtedly drives costs higher in Healthcare. https://lnkd.in/ewk7NC7m

An increasingly prevalent cyber-attack we detect, and Adversarial Simulation we seek to replicate, leverages Adversary-in-the-Middle (AiTM) to successfully exploit cloud-native identity layers. As a well-established credential theft technique, AiTM is now evolving from simple login portal replicas to the abuse of trusted services, making attacks more challenging to detect and enabling adversaries to bypass traditional security controls. In this piece, we’ll detail how AiTM techniques are advancing, including: ▶️Why attackers are increasingly using SVG redirect lures to evade detection. ▶️How trusted platforms such as Microsoft Visio and Cloudflare Workers are being abused to deliver malicious links. ▶️Why dynamic, fingerprinting-resistant phishing kits are getting harder to track. ▶️How proactive measures like ASN blocking and phishing-resistant MFA can help to reduce exposure. ▶️How poorly implemented kits and infrastructure leaks (e.g. misconfigured domains, static artefacts, exposed hosting providers) create detection opportunities despite growing sophistication. ▶️ Which sectors are being most actively targeted (Finance, Retail, Insurance, Pharmaceuticals, Healthcare/HealthTech) and how this aligns with broader ransomware trends. To support defenders, we also provide direct evidence from detected attacks and adversarial simulations, including Indicators of Compromise (IoCs) to enable detection.

This is also true for not just Government-to-Government attacks, but increasingly, we're seeing attacks from ransomware gangs and other malicious actors targeting small businesses. They are using AI to create their payloads and craft their emails for phishing attacks. This is why it's more important than ever to train your employees and ensure you have the best-in-class tools to protect your business. Bottom line, no one is too small to get hacked because they don't care about your size, they care about if you have money to steal. https://lnkd.in/g4gieB9v

Ransomware doesn’t just lock files, it destroys trust. One of our small business clients had to spend $5–6K on a new server after an attack. They also lost critical financial statements and sensitive data, which means: • 📉 Future exposure if attackers leak it • ⚠️ Risk of regulatory fines for a breach • 💔 Damage to customer trust & reputation • 💸 Financial loss that could threaten SMB survival No business is “too small” to be targeted. Comment a time when you heard of a company being hit with ransomware or malware that took their systems down? #Cybersecurity #Ransomware #SanAntonioBusiness #DataProtection #OrobiCybersecuritySolutions

Just published our latest newsletter on infostealers and the findings are concerning. Our internal CTI data shows attackers are actively harvesting credentials through multiple vectors - from direct malware extraction to compromised login forms. The pattern is clear: weak passwords are being systematically collected and exploited. Even in protected environments, basic security gaps leave organizations vulnerable to these silent threats. Key takeaways: • MFA implementation is non-negotiable • Continuous monitoring of both endpoints and network traffic • Real-time dark web monitoring for early breach detection Our team offers real-time dark web monitoring that provides immediate alerts when your credentials appear in criminal marketplaces, giving you the critical time needed to respond. Stay vigilant - security isn't just about tools, it's about consistent vigilance. #Cybersecurity #Infostealers #ThreatIntelligence #DataProtection #DarkWebMonitoring
