Garmin Has Been Hacked!

Fine, you might know pretty much nothing about Garmin but they might know you very well by now...
They make GPS related devices and they couldn't keep them safe. A source once said customers weren't affected by this breach, but can we believe them?
Especially when the group behind this calls itself Evil Group. Yeah, they do care a lot about ethics...
I don't know how they forgot they were demanding a ransom from the very beginning!


Do you live in New York? Or your insurer's headquarters are located in NYC or nearby?
If so you might need to read the article below...

Nope, it's not some HD video or channel or anything the like.
Actually it's a ransomware produced by North Korean hackers. Yes, they might wanna steal your money under your very same noses.
Victims have been located in France and Asia so far...

Walgreens Data Exposure

Criminals have managed to collect customers' health insurance and vaccination information only, according to their sources at least.

Islamic State and Telegram

If you have never heard about Telegram before, let me tell you it is an open source version of WhatsApp.
Now Europol and US military are striking ISIS hard and Telegram seems to have joined them now. They shut down lots of suspicious accounts recently.
Sadly that doesn't seem to make IS stop spreading propaganda, no matter how difficult it has become as of late.

How did Hackers breach Twitter's systems?

Twitter says the people who took over the accounts of high-profile users in order to launch a bitcoin scam used tactics focused on phones to trick company employees into giving them access.

Gullible stays short here... Only morons would provide them with such access without confirming it once or twice or as many times as needed.
Oh they contacted us by phone!
So what? If they ever tell you they're demons, is that enough for you to believe them!?
Let's hope Twitter gets punished for letting hackers scam people with their bitcoin fraud stratagem. But it's gotta be quite hard to achieve that goal indeed.

Twitter Hacker Arrested!

Well, at least US authorities are moving fast.
It seems he loved the idea of spending his ill earned money in Florida...  

European Union sanctions several Cyber Criminals

They are Russian, Chinese and North Korean.

EU officials announced Thursday they would enact restrictive measures against the people it deemed responsible for the WannaCry ransomware outbreak in 2017, the NotPetya campaign and Operation Cloud Hopper, a Chinese cyber-espionage effort. Penalties include a travel ban, asset freeze and prohibit people and organizations in the EU from “making funds available” to the sanctioned individuals and entities.

Obviously they've got no plans to travel to EU in the next couple of months or years.
