Malicious actors have a history of trying to compromise users’ Office 365 accounts. By doing so, they can tunnel into a network and use their access to steal sensitive information. But they need not stop there. They can also single out other entities with which the target does business for supply chain cyberattacks.

The American Petroleum Institute (API) this month published the third edition of its pipeline cybersecurity standard, which focuses on managing cyber risks associated with industrial automation and control environments.
The third edition of Standard 1164, Pipeline Control Systems Cybersecurity, has been in the works since 2017, and it’s based on input from over 70 organizations. The standard is based on NIST’s Cybersecurity Framework and the North American Electric Reliability Corporation Critical Infrastructure Protection (NERC CIP) standards.
According to the API, which is the largest trade association for the oil and natural gas industry, this edition covers all control systems, rather than just SCADA systems as the previous edition did.

Native English speakers are being recruited in their droves by criminals trying to make Business Email Compromise (BEC) more effective.
BEC schemes can be simple to execute and among the most potentially devastating for a business, alongside threats such as ransomware.
A BEC scam will usually start with a phishing email, tailored and customized depending on the victim. Social engineering and email address spoofing may also be used to make the message appear to originate from someone in the target company — such as an executive, the CEO, or a member of an accounts team — in order to fool an employee into making a payment to an account controlled by a criminal.

Tachyum has announced a milestone on the road to finally launching its much-vaunted high-performance “universal processor,” Prodigy, with a first-boot into Linux – but its FPGA prototype is still a long way away from proving the company’s bold claims.
Founded in 2017 by a team made up of Skyera and SandForce co-founder Dr Radoslav “Rado” Danilak, Wave Computing co-founder Ken Wagner, engineer Igor Shevlyakov, and hardware architect Rod Mullendore, Tachyum is in the process of designing what it calls a “universal processor.’ Dubbed Prodigy, the design – originally known as the “Cloud Chip” – is claimed to be able to run programs written for x86, Arm, and RISC-V architectures as well as its own native architecture, and to do so 10 times faster than its rivals.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) is warning a vulnerability in Sudo, an open-source program used within its Aruba AirWave management platform, could allow any unprivileged and unauthenticated local user to gain root privileges on a vulnerable host.
Rated high in severity, HPE warns the Sudo flaw could be part of a “chained attack” where an “attacker has achieved a foothold with lower privileges via another vulnerability and then uses this to escalate privileges,” according to a recent HPE security bulletin.
The Aruba AirWave management platform is HPE’s real-time monitoring and security alert system for wired and wireless infrastructures. The Sudo bug (CVE-2021-3156) was reported in January by Qualys researchers and is believed to impact millions of endpoint devices and systems.
