The US insurer Allianz Life was the target of a cyber attack in mid-July. Unknown hackers have now published sensitive data from around 2.8 million data records containing information on customers and business partners.
New attack technique discovered
Passkeys and FIDO authentication are designed to provide robust protection against phishing attacks.

Old gaps, new access

The attackers exploit known vulnerabilities that have long since been closed – but they go one better: they leave behind a so-called backdoor through which they retain access even after the patch.
Data leak with far-reaching consequences
A massive hacker attack has exposed the data of over 118,000 patients in the USA. The company affected is New York-based Endue Software, which provides digital infrastructure for infusion centers.
An old trick with a new twist
Despite its age, the ClickFix method remains a popular tool in the arsenal of cybercriminals. Security researchers from Sophos X-Ops came across the sophisticated attack tactic again in their latest analysis.
