Zero-day exploits are evolving fast: nearly half now target enterprise tech, and state-sponsored actors are upping the stakes. How prepared are we for this new cyber battleground?

🔍 Cyber Fact: The average ransom paid by Canadian organizations in 2023 skyrocketed to $1.13M CAD—150% higher than two years ago.

Cyber threats from state actors and advanced cybercriminals are escalating. What can be done? Collaboration, public awareness, and robust tech solutions are just the beginning.

Russian military intelligence hackers targeted political parties and critical infrastructure as part of an espionage campaign that began last year.

You''re in deep denial if you think the rest of the EU, UK and US aren't also targeted or already victims.

Next time someone gripes about failing to build a wall...

I have been thinking about #gemini #protocol lately and it's #TOFU model in particular. While I understand what they are going for, I think it's still really vurnelable against attacks from the #StateActors. Even if #HTTPS cannot penetrate the block, lack of #certificate alerts user to the tampering.
The system where each #server has something like a #webring of hashes certificates of other #websites and clients would check if site supplies real or fake certificates is interesting, but the system still need #bootstraping (Maybe with the help of something like #TOR or #I2P) and it still has risk of sites being #coerced into hosting #fraudulent certificates and then using them to act as #MITM.
Perhaps system of more reasonable compromises can exist, but I am not sure.

If you are at all concerned about the rise in #racist #troll #informationsecurity here is an interesting bit of #osint on activity at one of the main sources of #harassment

This graph shows the level of activity at a fediverse site that is blocked on many or most instances and is responsible for a large amount of the attacks on #journalists #BIPOC

The point is that we can expect this trendline to extrapolate into the new year and there will be more #contentmoderation difficulties.

That is not even beginning to factor in #stateactors who undoubtedly will try to cause problems, especially as the #2024election draws closer and closer.

Not entirely sure it exactly correlates to the rise in Mastodon signups but I am sure someone has the comparison data at their fingertips.

September uptick, plateau briefly in late early October, then steady rise in November with some tapering.
