The plaintiffs\r\nalleged that Google violated federal wiretap laws by using Google Analytics to track user activity. Google\r\nattempted to get the lawsuit dismissed by pointing to a message it displays informing users that their activity\r\nmight still be visible to websites they visit, their organization, or their ISP. The class-action lawsuit originally\r\nsought roughly $5 billion in damages, however, the final settlement terms have yet to be disclosed.\r\n(The Hacker News)\r\nOver $80 million in crypto stolen from Orbit Chain\r\nhttps://cisoseries.com/cyber-security-headlines-google-5b-suit-settled-orbit-chain-loses-80m-fda-cyber-agreement/\r\nPage 1 of 3\n\nOn New Year’s Eve, hackers stole over 26,000 Ethereum (ETH) from South Korean blockchain bridge project,\r\nOrbit Chain. Orbit Chain confirmed the incident in which attackers transferred the crypto to five wallet addresses\r\nand over 15 million stablecoin. Orbit Chain is working with law enforcement and cyber experts to track down and\r\nfreeze the stolen assets. Users have also been warned that reimbursement scams are now circulating and that they\r\nshould refer to Orbit Chain’s official page for updates.\r\n(Infosecurity Magazine)\r\nWatchdog calls for updated medical device cyber agreement\r\nA new report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) has highlighted that the FDA’s medical device\r\ncybersecurity agreement is in need of an update. Although incident data has not shown that medical device\r\nexploitation is common, the reports says medical devices pose a significant cybersecurity threat to hospitals. The\r\nFDAs authority over medical devices has increased in recent years and medical device manufacturers can be\r\npenalized under federal law for failing to fix cyber vulnerabilities. The GAO recommended the FDA and CISA\r\nupdate their medical device cyber agreement to reflect organizational and procedural changes.\r\n(FedScoop)\r\nUkraine says Russia hacked web cameras to spy on targets\r\nUkraine security officers say Russians hacked two online surveillance cameras in Kyiv. The cameras were\r\ninstalled on residential buildings and used by residents to monitor the surrounding area and parking lot. Russian\r\nintelligence allegedly gained remote access to the cameras, changed their viewing angles, and connected them to\r\nYouTube to stream sensitive footage. Ukraine’s security service (SBU) said the hacked cameras likely helped\r\nRussians direct drones and missiles toward Kyiv during a large-scale missile strike against Ukraine on Tuesday. \r\n(The Record)\r\nHuge thanks to our sponsor, NetSPI\r\nTake the hassle out of dealing with alert fatigue, validation, and prioritization.

CSV said the attack disrupted its in-court audio/visual technology network, video and audio\r\nrecordings, and transcription services. The leaked recordings contain a mix of public and confidential information\r\nfrom court proceedings between November 1 to December 21. CSV’s disclosure did not identify the responsible\r\nthreat actor however sources report that the Qilin ransomware gang may be behind the attack.\r\n(Bleeping Computer)\r\nMysterious hacker attacked industry-leading Iranian companies\r\nOn December 20, a hacker called ‘irleaks’ announced the sale of over 160,000,000 records allegedly stolen from\r\n23 leading insurance companies in Iran. The hacker is seeking $60,000 for the stolen data which they claim\r\nincludes names, birth dates, father’s names, phone numbers, mobile numbers, and national codes. Researchers say\r\nthe data appears legit but it is not clear how the hackers targeted so many insurance companies at the same time.\r\nOn December 30, irleaks also say they hacked Iran’s largest delivery platform, SnappFood, and stole 3 Terabytes\r\nof data.\r\n(Security Affairs)\r\nGoogle password resets not enough to stop info-stealing malware\r\nOn October 23, a cybercriminal known as “PRISMA” boasted of a hacking technique that could continue\r\naccessing a victim’s Google account even after the password is changed. Security researchers have confirmed the\r\nmalware exfiltrates session tokens to allow the malware operator to hijack the victim’s accounts. The exploit takes\r\nadvantage of Google’s MultiLogin feature which synchronizes Google accounts across different services. Users\r\nwho suspect they have been infected should log out entirely, and thus invalidate their session tokens, to prevent\r\nexploitation. There are six known malware families abusing the vulnerability, most of which target Windows\r\nsystems.\r\n(The Register)\r\nSteam drops support for Windows 7 and 8.1 to boost security\r\nAs of January 1, Steam will no longer receive software and security updates on Windows 7, Windows 8, and\r\nWindows 8.1. While Steam still technically works on these older OS, the gaming company said they cannot\r\n“guarantee continued functionality.” They also said using older versions of Steam could cause systems to be\r\nvulnerable to new security flaws and the rise of information-stealing malware. Steam recommends users upgrade\r\nto Windows 10 or 11. Windows 10 reaches end of support in October 2025, which may make Windows 11 a better\r\noption for users who do not wish to keep upgrading their operating system.\r\n(Bleeping Computer)\r\nSource: https://cisoseries.com/cyber-security-headlines-google-5b-suit-settled-orbit-chain-loses-80m-fda-cyber-agreement/\r\nhttps://cisoseries.com/cyber-security-headlines-google-5b-suit-settled-orbit-chain-loses-80m-fda-cyber-agreement/\r\nPage 3 of 3", "extraction_quality": 1, "language": "EN", "sources": [ "MISPGALAXY" ], "origins": [ "web" ], "references": [ "https://cisoseries.com/cyber-security-headlines-google-5b-suit-settled-orbit-chain-loses-80m-fda-cyber-agreement/" ], "report_names": [ "cyber-security-headlines-google-5b-suit-settled-orbit-chain-loses-80m-fda-cyber-agreement" ], "threat_actors": [], "ts_created_at": 1777604939, "ts_updated_at": 1777605050, "ts_creation_date": 0, "ts_modification_date": 0, "files": { "pdf": "https://archive.orkl.eu/b2638ed40c4c58a1bc637e251eeaca4722ef4ee2.pdf", "text": "https://archive.orkl.eu/b2638ed40c4c58a1bc637e251eeaca4722ef4ee2.txt", "img": "https://archive.orkl.eu/b2638ed40c4c58a1bc637e251eeaca4722ef4ee2.jpg" } }
