A new data-extortion group called Helix is using identity-focused tactics such as voice phishing (vishing), device code phishing, and multi-factor authentication (MFA) abuse to steal data from SharePoint environments. [...]
Accenture Confirms Intrusion After Hacker Claims 35GB Data Breach The HIPAA Journal
Most security mess starts as admin work. A link gets clicked. A tool gets trusted. A bucket name gets reused. A setting stays loose because nobody wants to touch it. This week is full of that kind of damage. Not loud. Not clever. Just small gaps doing big jobs. The worst part is…
Accenture, one of the world’s largest consulting firms, has confirmed it has experienced a security breach, shortly after a hacker […] The post Accenture Confirms Intrusion After Hacker Claims 35GB Data Breach appeared first on The HIPAA Journal.
A new phishing-as-a-service (PhaaS) operation called Forg365 focuses on stealing Microsoft 365 accounts by combining adversary-in-the-middle (AiTM) and device code methods with AI-assisted lure generation. [...]
