Cyberthreat Hunter FireEye Hacked by Nation-State Attackers

Dec 9, 2020 2:20 PM PT Cybersecurity firm FireEye, which has been prominent in the fight against nation-state cyberthreats, has been itself attacked by a highly sophisticated threat actor, one whose discipline, operational security, and techniques, company CEO Kevin Mandia announced Tuesday. This indicates the attack is likely state-sponsored, by a nation with top-tier offensive capabilities. FireEye is investigating the incident together with the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation and other key partners, including Microsoft. The security vendor joined the Microsoft Intelligent Security Association (MISA) last year, an ecosystem of independent software vendors that have integrated their solutions for improved cybersecurity. FBI Cyber Division assistant director Matt Gorham reportedly said that preliminary indications show an actor with a high level of sophistication consistent with a nation-state.

Cash-strapped North Korea believed to be stepping up cyber thefts against the South

SEOUL (THE YOMIURI SHIMBUN/ASIA NEWS NETWORK) - North Korea is suspected to have launched an average of 1.5 million cyber attacks per day in 2020 against the South Korean public sector, such as financial and infrastructure systems, according to sources close to the South Korean government. The number of strikes has increased dramatically compared with that of four years ago, and many were performed in attempts to steal money, the sources said. As Pyongyang is believed to be suffering a shortage of foreign currency due to border closures - which are one measure in place to protect against the coronavirus pandemic - as well as prolonged economic sanctions imposed on the country, some South Korean experts say the attacks were carried out to offset financial difficulties.
