Phishing is the fraudulent practice of sending emails or other messages purporting to be from reputable sources in order to induce individuals to reveal personal information, such as passwords and credit card numbers. With the sensitive information obtained from a successful phishing scam, cybercriminals can do severe damage to your financial history and personal reputation that can take years to unravel. According to AAG-IT, it is the most common form of cybercrime with an estimated 3.4 billion spam emails sent every day. However, there are many things that you can do to protect yourself from these attacks.

The iconic Italian luxury car manufacturer, Ferrari, confirmed on Monday that a threat actor had demanded a ransom related to customer contact details that may have been exposed in a ransomware attack. The company stated that the attack did not affect its manufacturing operations, but they have warned customers that personal data including names, addresses, email addresses, and phone numbers, could be at risk. However, Ferrari has found no evidence that financial information and details on owned or ordered cars have been compromised.

As the frequency and sophistication of cyberattacks continue to increase, many businesses are realizing the importance of investing in cybersecurity measures to protect their data and assets. While some organizations may view hiring cybersecurity employees as an unnecessary expense, the cost of a cyberattack can far outweigh the investment in cybersecurity personnel.

Uber Technologies Inc. is currently investigating the hack of its vendor, Teqtivity, which helps manage and track information technology equipment. The cyberattack has leaked data and the email addresses of over 77,000 Uber employees. Some of this data includes archives which are believed to be source code associated with mobile device management platforms used by Uber and Uber Eats. This source code is extremely valuable to cyber-criminals as it forms part of the company’s intellectual property and can be used to find other vulnerabilities that will open the door to further cyberattacks.
