Russian hackers and cybercrime forums are notorious for exploiting critical infrastructure. Last month, Hackread.com exclusively reported that a Russian-speaking threat actor was selling access to a US military satellite. Now, researchers have identified macOS malware being sold for $60,000.

How much do you know about the electric charging station where you plug in your electric vehicle?

New research at the University of Windsor is looking at security vulnerabilities of charging stations — not only could your payment information be stolen, but the electricity grid could be compromised too. 

Mitra Mirhassani, an engineering professor, said not enough is being done when it comes to security of these stations. 

"Most of the charging stations are placed wherever a company sees convenient," said Mirhassani. "These can be insecure roads and parking lots. Everyone seems to forget they are connected to infrastructure — to the energy grid."

Electric vehicle society 'encouraged' by approval of new charging locations
City of Windsor wants to add 11 dual-port electric vehicle charging stations
Mirhassani said if there was to be an attack on that energy infrastructure, there would be a lot of issues that couldn't be fixed quickly.

Tor, or “The Onion Router” as it was originally known, is used around the world as an anonymity network. It provides a private method of communication for journalists, those living under authoritarian governments, and people who are just up to some shady stuff. While Tor is still the most robust form of online anonymity we have, it’s not bulletproof as the repeated takedown of The Silk Road and other law enforcement actions have shown. Now, two computer scientists say they’ve uncovered snoops inside the Tor network that may be listening in on what you’re doing.
