Photography and image sharing firm Shutterfly has disclosed being hit by a Conti ransomware attack nearly two weeks ago, resulting in the encryption of more than 4,000 devices and 120 VMware ESXi servers.
NIST has spent years painstakingly selecting a new set of encryption algorithms that can withstand future hacks from quantum computers. Along the way, it must deal with the additional challenge of building a process flexible enough to account for the potential failure or breakdown of any one solution.
The Guardian reports that Chinese threat actors are poised to target encrypted datasets, including intelligence data, as well as pharmaceutical, material, and chemical science research, for future decryption using quantum computers.
Encryption has reached near-full adoption by internal teams hoping to implement stronger security and privacy practices. Simultaneously, attackers are using the same mechanisms to hide their malicious activity from the defender’s line of sight. According to the Ponemon Institute’s 2021 Global Encryption Trends Study, 50% of organizations have an encryption plan consistently applied across their […]
The agency is asking for companies and research firms to apply for cooperative research partnerships with the government to help develop technology and tools that would inform a “roadmap” the agency is devising to guide businesses and agencies on implementation.
NC State researchers find new hardware vulnerability on an iPhone that lets a program gain access to cryptographic keys used by one or more programs on an Apple device.
