IBM researchers have been tracking the steady rise in ZeroCleare<\/a>\ndeployments throughout the last year, culminating in a significant rise in\n2019. This malware is deployed on both 32 and 64-bit systems in highly targeted\nattacks, with the capability to completely wipe the system by exploiting the\nEldoS RawDisk driver (which was also used in prior targeted attacks). The\nmalware itself appears to be spreading through TeamViewer sessions and, though\nthe 32-bit variant seems to crash before wiping can begin, the 64-bit variant\nhas the potential to cause devastating damage to the multi-national\ncorporations being targeted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n FTC<\/a> officials recently made an announcement regarding scam letters purporting to be from the commission and the numerous complaints the letters have sparked from the public. Victims of the scam are told that, due to some suspicious activity, they will be personally and financially monitored as well as face possible charges for terrorism. These types of scams are fairly common and have been in use for many years, often targeting the elderly with greater success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Take back your privacy.

Moreover, it took over a year for the\nhealthcare provider to take full responsibility for the breach and begin\ncorrecting their security policies for handling sensitive information. HIPAA\nviolations are extremely time-sensitive and the slow response from Sentara\nstaff could act as a lesson for other organizations to ensure similar events don\u2019t\nreoccur. <\/p>\n\n\n\nFTC Scam Threatens Victims with Terrorism Charges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
