Description

On this week’s Cyber Security Brief, Gavin O’Gorman joins us to discuss the Kaseya ransomware supply chain attack that occurred over the July 4 holiday weekend in the U.S. The REvil/Sodinokibi ransomware gang were behind this attack, and Gavin and Dick O’Brien discuss whether this is a sign that we now need to be aware of ransomware actors targeting victims through supply chain attacks, which would more traditionally be associated with state-sponsored hackers, as well as some of the other interesting aspects of this attack. Meanwhile, Brigid O Gorman discusses the latest news of a new vulnerability in SolarWinds software being exploited by a Chinese hacking group, energy companies being targeted in a year-long espionage campaign, and the rising cost of cyber insurance.
