Scores of malicious domains and phishing campaigns, in the aftermath of the global outage triggered by faulty software from CrowdStrike in July, are still actively pretending to seek feedback from impacted companies, cybersecurity experts said. Cybercriminals were quick to exploit the chaos caused by the CrowdStrike crisis and send remote access or data wiper malware through phishing emails, which are then used as a ransom tactic.

  Mousetrapping the black hats: why password-less authentication is the future of data protection Data breaches have seen a steady rise with the widespread adoption of work-from-home culture amid the pandemic. The process of efficiently securing any ecosystem starts with identifying its weakest link. And here, it’s the password. A two-factor password-less authentication process, which uses biometric scan, can address this vulnerability. But there are downsides as well.

  NIC plans seven new e-security centres with AI, ML technologies The National Information Centre (NIC) is looking to set up seven cybersecurity operations centres with headquarters in Delhi and site offices at Hyderabad, Chennai, Bengaluru, Guwahati, Kolkata and Mumbai or Pune, sources told ET. All the seven centres will be interconnected so that in case of failure of any of the sites across the country, the workload should be transferred to the other centres without any manual intervention, a senior government official said. “We are looking at a build-operate-transfer model where the company which undertakes the work will be asked to complete the work in approximately 12-15 months from now,” the official said. These cybersecurity centres will serve as the core component in managing the overall digital security of all the online properties and assets of the central government and its departments in various states, the official said. For example, the managed service provider which ...
