Cybersecurity Today: Supply Chain Attacks, Data Breaches, and Botnet Threat Disruptions

In this episode of 'Cybersecurity Today,' host Jim Love covers pressing issues in the cybersecurity world, including a supply chain attack in Lebanon, a major data breach at AT&T resulting in a $13 million fine, and the disruption of the Chinese botnet known as Raptor Train. The AT&T breach underscores the risks of weak vendor data protection, while the weaponization of communication devices in Lebanon signals new threats in cyber-physical warfare. The episode also highlights the resilience of the Raptor Train botnet, attributed to the Chinese state-sponsored group Flax Typhoon, and the steps taken by the FBI to mitigate this threat. Listeners are advised to enhance their cybersecurity practices to protect against these multifaceted attacks.
