Cybercriminals Targeting VPNs: Protect Yourself from Attacks

Threat actors are increasingly targeting virtual private networks (VPNs) to gain access to organizations. This trend has been exacerbated by the shift to remote and hybrid work, which has created new vulnerabilities that cybercriminals can exploit. By targeting VPNs, threat actors can launch ransomware, phishing attacks, or denial of service (DoS) attacks.

A recent study found that almost 500 publicly known VPN vulnerabilities could be exploited by cybercriminals to exfiltrate sensitive business data. It is important for businesses to choose a reliable and secure VPN provider to protect against these types of attacks. Free VPNs are not safe and it is recommended to use well-known brands like PrivateInternetAccess (PIA), ExpressVPN, or CyberGhost, which offer business-specific features to improve work and collaboration.

A survey of cybersecurity professionals found that 44% have witnessed an increase in exploits targeting their business's VPN since the shift to remote and hybrid work. To secure their perimeter, businesses should carefully consider which VPN provider they use, and ensure that employees and third parties have secure access to the corporate network. It is also important for businesses to adopt a zero-trust model, which assumes that all users and devices are potentially risky, and to implement other security measures such as strong and unique passwords, two-factor authentication, and antivirus software.

Google Pledges to Remove Contacts from Search Results

Google has introduced a new tool that allows users to request the removal of search results containing their phone number, home or email address. The "Results about you" tool makes it easy to request the removal of contact details from Google Search with just a few clicks. Users can also request removal by going to the three dots next to individual search results.

However, search results will not be automatically removed - Google will evaluate the content to ensure it does not limit the availability of useful information. Users will also be able to monitor new search results and opt into alerts with new results featuring their contact information, allowing them to quickly request their removal from search.

Americans' Insecurity About Online Safety Justified by Increasing Data Breaches

A new survey has found that 70% of Americans have experienced scam attempts online and believe that companies handling their personal information should be more regulated. The survey, conducted by data privacy agent Incogni and powered by Surfshark, showed that 90% of respondents had received spam emails, robocalls, and other scam attempts in the past, and had even experienced personal data breaches.

These findings are supported by Surfshark's data breach statistics, which show that data breach rates increased in the first and second quarters of this year, with 450 and 459 accounts being breached every minute, respectively.

The survey also found that only one-third of respondents knew what laws protected their privacy, and that over 70% believed that companies handling their data should be more regulated. Five states in the US have comprehensive local regulations, such as the California Consumer Privacy Act, but these laws are not universal.
