Analysts have noticed various attempts in recent years by hackers trying to breach entities in the aviation and aerospace industries, as well as related transportation fields. The operators typically use of off-the-shelf malware and deploy digital lures that refer to industry-specific topics like airline cargo conferences or machine parts. It now appears that most of those incidents were by the same group, according to cybersecurity firm Proofpoint. Dubbing the group “TA2541,” Proofpoint says the trail of evidence goes back to at least 2017, and the hackers remain a “consistent, active cybercrime threat.” Hundreds of different organizations have been targeted globally, with an emphasis on North America, Europe and the Middle East, the researchers say. Crime seems to be the main goal, says Sherrod DeGrippo, vice president of threat research and detection at Proofpoint, given TA2541’s targeting, its victims, its use of commodity malware and its high message volume. Campaigns ranging […]

Hackers have exposed data about employees, customers and suppliers of Bombardier, a Canadian plane manufacturer, in what appears to be the latest ripple effect from a larger security incident humming through the private sector in North America. A forensic analysis revealed that “confidential” information originating at Bombardier was stolen in a recent incident, the company said Tuesday. The Montreal-based Bombardier, which reported $16 billion in revenue in 2018, did not specify exactly what happened or when, though it did say the breach was the result of a “vulnerability affecting a third-party file-transfer application.” “The ongoing investigation indicates that the unauthorized access was limited solely to data stored on the specific servers,” the company said. “Manufacturing and customer support operations have not been impacted or interrupted.” The Bombardier news appears to be a reference to Accellion, an IT services provider victimized last year in an incident that is continuing to have […]
