Then a Hacker Began Posting Patients' Deepest Secrets Online


Jere woke up on the morning of October 24, 2020, expecting what Finnish college students call
normi päivä, an ordinary day. It was a Saturday, and he’d slept in. The night before, he had gone drinking by the beach with some friends. They’d sipped cheap apple liqueur, listened to Billie Eilish on his boom box. Now Jere (pronounced “yeh-reh”) needed to clear his head. He was supposed to spend this gray fall day on campus, finishing a group physics project about solar energy. The 22-year-old took a walk around the lake near his apartment outside Helsinki. Then, feeling somewhat refreshed, he jumped on the bus. ....

Hackers Used 'Mind-Blowing' Bug to Sneak Past macOS Safeguards

With macOS malware on the rise, Apple has been busy in recent years adding layers of protections that make it a lot more difficult for malicious software to run on Macs. But a vulnerability in the operating system, publicly disclosed and patched today, was exploited to bypass all of them. 
Security researcher Cedric Owens discovered the bug in mid-March while looking for ways around macOS defenses. Apple s Gatekeeper mechanism requires developers to register with Apple and pay a fee so their software will be able to run on Macs. And the company s software notarization process mandates that all applications go through an automated vetting process. The logic flaw Owens found lay not in those systems but rather in macOS itself. Attackers could craft their malware strategically to trick the operating system into letting it run even if it failed all the safety checks along the way. ....

Apple's Ransomware Mess Is the Future of Online Extortion

On the day Apple was set to announce a slew of new products at its Spring Loaded event, a leak appeared from an unexpected quarter. The notorious ransomware gang REvil said they had stolen data and schematics from Apple supplier Quanta Computer about unreleased products, and that they would sell the data to the highest bidder if they didn’t get a $50 million payment. As proof, they released a cache of documents about upcoming, unreleased MacBook Pros. They ve since added iMac schematics to the pile. 
The connection to Apple and dramatic timing generated buzz about the attack. But it also reflects the confluence of a number of disturbing trends in ransomware. After years of refining their mass data encryption techniques to lock victims out of their own systems, criminal gangs are increasingly focusing on data theft and extortion as the centerpiece of their attacks—and making eye-popping demands ....

China and Russia's Spying Sprees Will Take Years to Unpack

First it was SolarWinds, a reportedly Russian hacking campaign that stretches back almost a year and has felled at least nine US government agencies and countless private companies. Now it’s Hafnium, a Chinese group that’s been attacking a vulnerability in Microsoft Exchange Server to sneak into victims’ email inboxes and beyond. The collective toll of these espionage sprees is still being uncovered. It may never be fully known.
Countries spy on each other, everywhere, all the time. They always have. But the extent and sophistication of Russia s and China’s latest efforts still manage to shock. And the near-term fallout of both underscores just how tricky it can be to take the full measure of a campaign even after you’ve sniffed it out. ....
