Or maybe it isn’t entirely clear who should get the report when remote access to an organization’s internal network is being sold in the cybercrime underground.
In a bid to minimize these scenarios, a growing number of major companies are adopting “Security.txt,” a proposed new Internet standard that helps organizations describe their vulnerability disclosure practices and preferences. Continue reading Does Your Organization Have a Security.txt File?
The Accellion hack has claimed another victim, this time a financial firm that boasts it’s the second-largest savings bank in the United States. Michigan-based Flagstar Bank recently began notifying affected customers that on Jan. 22, Accellion, an IT provider, relayed that a vulnerability in its file sharing platform had affacted Flagstar.

Mandiant, the incident response arm of the security vendor FireEye, made the determination that UNC3546 was behind the incident.
