Lone hacker Rasputin breaches 60 universities, federal agencies | #CyberSecurity

Lone hacker Rasputin breaches 60 universities, federal agencies | #CyberSecurity | ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet | Scoop.it
From www.zdnet.com - February 16, 2017 11:26 AM
Rasputin has danced around the defenses of organizations from NYU and Oxford to the Oklahoma state government.

 

Rasputin, believed to be a Russian hacker, is most well-known for the December 2016 attack against the US Electoral Assistance Commission through an unpatched SQL injection (SQLi) vulnerability.

 

At the time, the hacker offered to sell access to the system to a Middle Eastern broker, and according to researchers, the hacker is also attempting to sell access to systems he has compromised in his latest round of attacks.

Rasputin's latest victims, revealed by cybersecurity firm Recorded Future, span across both the United Kingdom and the United States.

 

Universities are a top target, with Cornell University, the New York University (NYU), Purdue University, Michigan State University, the Rochester Institute of Technology and the University of Washington among those affected in the US.

Locating ICS and SCADA Systems on .EDU Networks with SHODAN

Locating ICS and SCADA Systems on .EDU Networks with SHODAN | ICT Security-Sécurité PC et Internet | Scoop.it
From www.tripwire.com - May 15, 2014 12:05 PM

I wrestled with a myself for a long time about whether or not to publish this article, but the time has come for education and action regarding exposed SCADA/ICS in the .edu sector. The goal of this post is to encourage security teams at .edus to proactively discover, enumerate, inventory and classify SCADA/ICS devices on...


Bear in mind that this strategy applies only to Internet-facing devices and does not even begin to address what a malicious attacker can do once gaining a foothold into an .edus internal network via pivot or other means. Addressing those risks requires an entirely different level of scope, policy, tactics and skill sets.
