139 pieces of (seemingly nonfunctional) malware that exploit Spectre and Meltdown are now circulating in the wild / Boing Boing This week, AV-TEST's census of samples of circulating malware that attempt to exploit the Meltdown and Spectre bugs hit 139, up from 77 on January 17. AV-TEST CEO Andreas Marx says that the different strains of malware mostly contain recompiled versions of the same proof-of-concept code released with the initial report on the bugs. It doesn't appear that any of the exploits work yet, but it's clear that malware authors are working to actively exploit Meltdown and Spectre. Early reports suggested that mitigating Meltdown and Spectre would be easy, but in practice, attempts to mitigate the defects have been a catastrophe. http://crwd.fr/2EOV5hQ . . . . . . . #meltdown #spectre #intel #amd #cyberattack #ransomware #technology #hacker #cyberdefense #security #internetsecurity #cybersecurity #malicioushackers #hacked #tech #techtip #hackers #virusscan #cybercrime #hacking #antimalware #malware #antivirus #cyber #manageditservices #itsecurity #prilaga #adware #dosattack (at Mississauga, Ontario)

How likely can terrorists, nuclear attacks, or hackers take down the cloud? For all you Chicken Littles out there: A cyber problem that shuts down a top US cloud computing provider for three to six days could trigger a cost to clients of between $5.3 billion and $19 billion in business losses, of which only $1.1 billion to $3.5 billion would be covered by insurance, said insurer Lloyd’s of London in a report. (A “cyber problem” could include hacking, lightning strikes, bombing of datacenters, and human errors making a public cloud service provider take a dirt nap.) I don’t doubt those numbers. But if one or more major cloud providers are disabled for some reason, we’ll have more important problems than not being able to log into the inventory system.  http://crwd.fr/2Fq26Cu . . . . . . . #cyberattack #ransomware #technology #hacker #cyberdefense #security #internetsecurity #cybersecurity #malicioushackers #hacked #tech #techtip #hackers #virusscan #adaware #cybercrime #hacking #itsecurity #gcp #CloudComputing #cloudmarket #aws #googlecloudplatform #office365 #cloud #Microsoftazure #alibabacloud (at Mississauga, Ontario)
