San Jose Leaders Propose New Safeguards for Automated License Plate Reader Data

San Jose Leaders Propose New Safeguards for Automated License Plate Reader Data

A group of elected officials in San Jose, including Mayor Matt Mahan, Vice Mayor Pam Foley, and Councilmembers Domingo Candelas and George Casey, has introduced new safeguards for the city's automated license plate reader (ALPR) data. This initiative comes in response to public concerns regarding the alleged misuse of this sensitive law enforcement information. The proposed measures aim to restrict city employees from accessing ALPR data using personal devices and to enhance audits designed to detect unauthorized searches. Additionally, the proponents of these safeguards are advocating for state legislation that would impose stricter penalties for the improper handling of ALPR data. This move signifies a concerted effort to address privacy concerns and reinforce the integrity of data management within the city's law enforcement operations.

Social Engineering Attacks Bypass MFA, Mandiant Warns of Evolving Vishing Campaigns

Social Engineering Attacks Bypass MFA, Mandiant Warns of Evolving Vishing Campaigns

Social engineering attacks are becoming increasingly sophisticated, with a notable shift towards bypassing multi-factor authentication (MFA) through advanced vishing campaigns. Cybersecurity firm Mandiant has identified an active vishing campaign, linked to the ShinyHunters criminal syndicate, that is successfully harvesting MFA codes to infiltrate SaaS platforms. These attacks, tracked under UNC6661, UNC6671, and UNC6240, demonstrate that human manipulation can circumvent even widely deployed security controls like Single Sign-On (SSO) and MFA. The attackers impersonate IT support staff, guiding victims to counterfeit SSO portals and relaying credentials in real-time. This method exploits the inherent trust between employees and internal support teams, making it uniquely effective against modern MFA deployments. Phishing remains the most prevalent social engineering technique, accounting for 77.8% of such attacks, highlighting the continued reliance on human vulnerability.

TWEAKOS Malware Transforms Telegram into Stealer and Stolen Account Marketplace

TWEAKOS Malware Transforms Telegram into Stealer and Stolen Account Marketplace

A new malware, TWEAKOS, has emerged, turning the Telegram messaging platform into a tool for stealing accounts and operating a marketplace for these stolen credentials. The operation combines a Windows stealer with a Telegram bot to manage victims and facilitate the sale of stolen access. The threat was identified after its source code appeared on Pastebin, revealing two Python components. Researchers have not yet determined how the stealer initially infects victims or the total number of affected individuals. Running the malware can compromise Discord accounts and create reusable Telegram login sessions. Unlike other malware targeting messaging platforms, TWEAKOS integrates a storefront directly into its stealing operation, allowing for the sale of stolen Telegram and Discord accounts. The malware focuses on obtaining valid Discord authentication tokens and creating new Telegram sessions, which are then sent to operators. The system also includes a bot that manages victim records, buyers, products, and co...
