Game-Changer: Biometric-Stealing Malware

Hi All

 

I have been working in cybersecurity for a long time, since 1987, over 35 years. And, surprisingly to many readers/observers, I often say I have not seen anything new in the hacker/malware space since I began. The same threats that were a problem then are the same problems now. Social engineering and unpatched software (and firmware) have long been the two biggest initial root causes for hacking…for decades. Other types of hacking such as malware, eavesdropping, password guessing/cracking, misconfiguration, insider attacks, injection attacks, side channel leaks, etc., have been around the whole time. Sure, the communication channels where they are used and exploited have changed over time (e.g., social media, Slack, SMS, etc.), but how the attacks are crafted and performed has not really changed.
