The Cyber News Rundown brings you the latest happenings in cyber news weekly. Who am I? I\u2019m Connor Madsen, a Webroot Threat Research Analyst, and a guy with a passion for all things security. Any more questions? Just ask.<\/p>\n
In a recent statement, Yahoo announced<\/a> that its 2013 breach, which took nearly 4 years to investigate, has impacted all 3 billion of their site\u2019s unique users. Along with this recent update, the company is still reeling from a separate 2014 breach, which holds the dubious title of 2nd<\/sup> largest data breach to date. This update to the total affected users isn\u2019t surprising, given that the original breach left questions as to why some accounts were compromised, while others remained untouched and showed no signs of malicious activity.<\/p>\n Recently, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg issued an apology<\/a> for the site\u2019s lack of action in stopping Russian advertisements and fake news articles, which have been circulating heavily since the 2016 election season. His statement goes on to promise that additional safeguards will be implemented to ensure Facebook can continue to be a safe platform for users to voice their opinions.<\/p>\n In the past week, R6DB, an online stat tracking service for the popular game Rainbow Six Siege was shut down<\/a> after several servers were wiped completely due to a cyber-attack. The attackers accessed the database remotely, as it was left unsecured during a recent data migration that hadn\u2019t yet concluded. Unfortunately for many players, their information is completely gone, while company officials are still working to restore what information they can.<\/p>\n Face ID, the iPhone X\u2019s highly-touted biometric device locking system, has been found to be less than secure in several scenarios<\/a>. Some of the vulnerabilities relate to young users whose facial features may change as they age, and siblings with similar facial features being able to spoof the security measure. Fortunately, Face ID isn\u2019t the only security precaution on the new device, as it will still require a passcode to be set.<\/p>\nFacebook Under Fire After Russia-Based Ads Overwhelm Users<\/h2>\n
