Thousands of Bank of America Accounts Hacked !

Mar 26, 2011
Thousands of Bank of America customers' account information could be in jeopardy after a major security breach. Christy Clark went to a Royal Oak drug store Friday, but when her debit card was declined, she knew something was wrong. "I was very embarrassed," Clark said. She went straight to the Bank of America branch near 12 Mile Road near Woodward Avenue in Royal Oak to report the problem. When she arrived, she was surprised to see the lobby packed with customers who experienced the same issue. "When I entered the branch, that's when I realized this was a bigger problem," Clark told Local 4. Bank of America told Local 4 this involves more than $100,000 worth of transitions. Bank employees told Clark they issued a number of temporary debit cards to customers who discovered money was missing from their account. Two bank staffers said they were also victims of this crime. A spokesperson for Bank of America said they are trying to figure out exactly how widespread the problem is

Navigating the Threat Landscape: Understanding Exposure Management, Pentesting, Red Teaming and RBVM

Apr 29, 2024Exposure Management / Attack Surface
It comes as no surprise that today's cyber threats are orders of magnitude more complex than those of the past. And the ever-evolving tactics that attackers use demand the adoption of better, more holistic and consolidated ways to meet this non-stop challenge. Security teams constantly look for ways to reduce risk while improving security posture, but many approaches offer piecemeal solutions – zeroing in on one particular element of the evolving threat landscape challenge – missing the forest for the trees.  In the last few years, Exposure Management has become known as a comprehensive way of reigning in the chaos, giving organizations a true fighting chance to reduce risk and improve posture. In this article I'll cover what Exposure Management is, how it stacks up against some alternative approaches and why building an Exposure Management program should be on  your 2024 to-do list. What is Exposure Management?  Exposure Management is the systematic identification, evaluation,

Google patches 6 serious Chrome bugs

Google patches 6 serious Chrome bugs

Mar 25, 2011
Google on Thursday patched six vulnerabilities in Chrome, and as usual, silently updated users' copies of the browser. The update to Chrome 10.0.648.204 also included two more blacklisted SSL certificates that may be related to last week's theft of nine digital certificates from a Comodo reseller. All six bugs were rated "high," Google's second-most-serious ranking in its threat scoring system. Of the half-dozen bugs, two were "use after free" flaws -- a type of memory management bug that can be exploited to inject attack code -- while a second pair were pegged by Google as "stale pointer" vulnerabilities, another kind of memory allocation flaw. As is Google's practice, the company locked down its bug-tracking database, blocking access to the technical details of the patched vulnerabilities. Google usually unlocks the bug entries several weeks, sometimes months later, to give users time to update before the information goes public. G
