CyberSecurity in the News 

Phishing scammers targeted users of Binance, the world's leading cryptocurrency exchange platform. The scammers sent text messages about a security issue and required the user to call them to solve it. Though there are no reports of any victims, there's much speculation about how the scammers got user data. Binance's chief security officer claims that hackers gained access to the data through malware on user devices and not through a Binance data leak. Malware can be downloaded from phishing links on social media, unofficial software downloads, and malicious add-ons. So, like Binance's CSO said, we should only download software from official sources and avoid saving passwords in browsers.

Senata Technologies was hit with a ransomware attack, which disrupted the company's operations. The company confirmed certain files were removed from its network and that they are working with third-party cybersecurity professionals to investigate the incident. The fact that files were removed during this incident shows that you should regularly back up important data and keep an offline backup, so that you don't lose important data. This incident also shows that you should learn to spot fishing emails and be cautious with attachments, links, and messages that are sent to you.
