Cybersecurity Chaos: From Card Skimmers to SVG Scams and AI Jailbreaks!
SecurityWeek’s cybersecurity news roundup dives into everything from Romanian card skimmers and Cloudflare’s image-tracking tool to SVG phishing attacks. We’ve got North Korean malware, OpenAI jailbreaking, and a Canadian crypto caper. Plus, we spill the beans on cybersecurity salaries—you’ll need a tissue for those tears of joy or envy!
Hot Take:
Ah, cybersecurity news: where the plot twists are as wild as a hacker’s imagination and the stakes are higher than a cat on a hot tin roof. From Romanians allegedly skimming cards faster than a caffeine-deprived barista to North Korean malware that sounds suspiciously like a flexible yoga pose, this week’s roundup has something for everyone. If only cybercriminals could channel their creativity into something more productive, like solving world hunger or inventing a better toaster. But alas, here we are, left to marvel at their ingenuity from afar (and hopefully behind a firewall). Keep your firewalls fiery, folks!
Key Points:
- Two Romanians are facing serious jail time in the US for alleged payment card skimming operations.
- Cloudflare and Adobe have teamed up to tackle image manipulation with a new tracking tool.
- The NMFTA has updated telematics security requirements to combat cybersecurity risks in fleet management.
- CyberArk claims to have jailbroken OpenAI’s latest AI model, revealing vulnerabilities.
- Sophos warns of SVG files being misused in phishing attacks to bypass security protections.
