<h2>Car Hacks</h2>
A hacker recently demonstrated that he could access two popular vehicle-monitoring apps that let him monitor where the cars were located, access drivers&#8217; private information, and even kill the engines remotely.
The hack targeted two apps, iTrack and ProTrack, that companies can use to monitor their fleets of vehicles, <a href="https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/zmpx4x/hacker-monitor-cars-kill-engine-gps-tracking-apps?utm_source=mbtwitter">according to Motherboard</a>. The attack, which the hacker said he did to draw attention to flimsy cybersecurity, serves as a cautionary tale to double check your security practices — all 27,000-plus compromised accounts used the default password &#8220;123456.&#8221;
<h2>Terrible Traffic</h2>
The hacker could also monitor each driver on a map view, just as an employer might. Both apps also come with a &#8220;kill engine&#8221; button that turns off a car if it&#8217;s traveling less than 12 miles per hour, which the hacker told Motherboard he didn&#8217;t touch out of safety concerns.
&#8220;I can absolutely make a big traffic problem all over the world,&#8221; the hacker told Motherboard. &#8220;I have [full] control [of hundreds] of thousands of vehicles, and by one touch, I can stop these vehicles engines.&#8221;
<h2>Gray Hat</h2>
The hacker said that he demanded a ransom from the two companies, but that he was mostly interested in advocating for their customers.
&#8220;My target was the company, not the customers,&#8221; the hacker told Motherboard. &#8220;Customers are at risk because of the company. They need to make money, and don&#8217;t want to secure their customers.&#8221;

<h2>The Blockchain Bandit</h2>
For one wildly-successful thief, scoring millions of dollars of cryptocurrency is as simple as guessing weak wallet passwords.
Security researchers found that a so-called &#8220;blockchain bandit&#8221; had hoarded 37,926 Ethereum — worth over $54 million — as of January, <a href="https://www.securityevaluators.com/casestudies/ethercombing/">according to a new paper</a> they published on Tuesday. The security experts could trace nearly $19 million of that stash back to compromised wallets that had been secured with weak private keys.
<h2>Admin123</h2>
To track the bandit, who Gizmodo <a href="https://gizmodo.com/a-blockchain-bandit-has-made-off-with-millions-just-by-1834243710">reports</a> cannot be identified until they try to cash out and withdraw their Ethereum, the researchers put a dollar into a poorly-secured crypto wallet. The money immediately got funneled to the bandit&#8217;s wallet.
These wallets had private keys like &#8220;0x01,&#8221; the cryptocurrency equivalent of making your password &#8220;password.&#8221; A strong password would be many times longer and much less predictable — the researchers suggest that these keys could have been unintentionally truncated by a glitch in the wallet software. It&#8217;s also possible that they were crafted by the wallets&#8217; owners instead of randomly generated and assigned, according to Gizmodo.
Ultimately, no matter how immutable the blockchain is supposed to be, the blockchain bandit&#8217;s success should serve as reminder to check your passwords and change them often.

<h2>Global Assault</h2>
Russian hackers are targeting several U.S. embassies around the world by imitating State Department officials.
The hacks were traced back to Russian forums, suggesting that they were carried out by tech-savvy amateurs rather than the Russian government, <a href="https://www.theverge.com/2019/4/22/18508172/russian-hackers-united-states-embassy-cyber-attack">according to The Verge</a> — a startling example of how even unsophisticated attacks can still <a href="https://futurism.com/the-byte/crimes-mueller-report-futuristic">breach high-level government systems</a>.
<h2>Management Software</h2>
The hackers targeted people who worked in government financial offices. The hackers sent targets documents that appeared as though they came from the State Department, but were loaded up with malware that installed TeamViewer, a common program that gives people remote access to computers.
From there, the hackers could control the embassy officials&#8217; computers — but left a paper trail in the form of their own browsing histories, according to The Verge.

<h2>Digital Front</h2>
In a speech on Wednesday, the Australian government revealed that it&#8217;s been engaged in a targeted cyberwar against ISIS.
&#8220;Just as the Coalition forces were preparing to attack the terrorists’ position, our offensive cyber operators were at their keyboards in Australia — firing highly targeted bits and bytes into cyberspace,&#8221; said Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) Director-General Mike Burgess, who runs the agency&#8217;s cyberwar efforts, during <a href="https://asd.gov.au/speeches/20190327-lowy-institute-offensive-cyber-operations.htm">a speech</a>.
<h2>Recruitment Drive</h2>
As part of the offensive, Burgess said, ASD operatives posed online as ISIS leaders to obstruct recruiting efforts and disabled ISIS communication systems. In a puzzling digression, he also pushed back against cliches about hackers.
&#8220;There&#8217;s always a geek — invariably a guy — wearing black and working in low-lighting, instantly hacking into systems at will,&#8221; Burgess said. &#8220;Usually, they are cavalier — with no regard for the law — punching the &#8216;enter&#8217; key to blow up buildings or do impossible things with electrical surges. The real hackers in ASD couldn’t be further from this stereotype.&#8221;
<h2>Targeted Effort</h2>
Burgess talked about disabling enemy communications and remote operatives helping coordinate maneuvers among soldiers on the ground. He mentioned propaganda campaigns and also how ASD develops cybersecurity tools for the government.
&#8220;Whatever the technique, our objective is to use our offensive cyber capabilities to keep Australia and Australians safe,&#8221; Burgess said.

<h2>Stick Up</h2>
Bank robbers have traded in masks and guns for VPNs and proxy servers, and there&#8217;s more of them than ever.
In the last 12 months, 67 percent of financial institutions — banks, credit unions, and the like — that participated in a <a href="https://www.carbonblack.com/resources/threat-research/modern-bank-heists-the-bank-robbery-shifts-to-cyberspace/">cybersecurity report</a> published this month by security firm Carbon Black said that they were hit by an <a href="https://futurism.com/hackers-stole-20-million-mexican-bank">increasing rate of attempted cyberattacks</a> and hacks. On top of that, 79 percent said that the hackers were becoming more and more sophisticated. It&#8217;s no surprise that crime is moving online and that security means more than thick vault doors. But cybersecurity practices haven&#8217;t quite kept up with the sheer volume of hackers targeting banks, as the report says that many attacks were at least partially successful.
<h2>Project Mayhem</h2>
Instead of settling for a quick buck, many of the attacks included in the report were intended to disrupt banking services or delete financial records — a hack strategy that&#8217;s increased by 160 percent over the last 12 months. And once the hackers are in, 32 percent of banks said that the hackers were digging in their heels and fighting back against efforts to lock them out of the system.
&#8220;It&#8217;s something that we should be very concerned about,&#8221; Tom Kellermann, Carbon Black&#8217;s chief cybersecurity officer, <a href="https://www.bobsguide.com/guide/news/2019/Mar/26/technology-obsession-blinding-banks-from-real-cybercrime-threat/">told BobsGuide</a>, “because what that says to me is that [cybercriminals] are willing to shoot the hostages now, they&#8217;re willing to burn down the infrastructure, and destroy segments of a financial institution because they&#8217;re angry that you are reacting to them in the first place.&#8221;
<h2>Putting Out Fires</h2>
Many banks&#8217; cybersecurity vulnerabilities are introduced when they launch a new platform, be it online banking, mobile banking, or anything of the like.
Kellermann told Bobsguide that banks&#8217; tendency to launch new services and platforms without a proactive focus on security &#8220;is a systemic mistake and it is a terrible mistake.&#8221; Too often, Kellermann said, security teams are left running around and putting out fires rather than proactively seeking out and securing their vulnerabilities.
&#8220;They&#8217;re doing this to increase access to their systems,&#8221; Kellermann said. &#8220;What they&#8217;re not understanding is that if you build it they will come and not all of them will be righteous.&#8221;

<h2>Classic Prank</h2>
Certain members of YouTube star PewDiePie&#8217;s fanbase have started infecting people&#8217;s computers with homemade ransomware, according to a <a href="https://www.zdnet.com/article/pewdiepie-fans-keep-making-junk-ransomware/">new investigation</a> by ZDNet, in the ongoing push to get the YouTuber back on top as the channel with the most subscribers in the world.
In the past, mischievous PewDiePie fans have hacked publicly-accessible printers and spammed comments online, urging people to subscribe to the online gamer-turned <a href="https://techcrunch.com/2017/09/10/pewdiepie-is-back-making-more-racist-comments/">controversial YouTube personality</a> — but an actual virus represents a dangerous escalation in similar tactics.
<h2>Slapdash</h2>
When a computer gets hit by ransomware, it encrypts the hard disk until you meet the hackers&#8217; demands, sort of like a <a href="https://futurism.com/the-byte/newspapers-cyberattack-foreign">digital hostage situation</a>.
Developing ransomware and calling it a prank, as PewDiePie fans have done, is one thing. But the PewDiePie-inspired ransomware is made so poorly, according to ZDNet&#8217;s analysis, that it&#8217;s doing permanent damage: Because the authors of the first PewDiePie ransomware failed to save encryption keys, even if victims met the demands, their files were lost for good.
<h2>Second Thoughts</h2>
Another ransomware attack holds computers hostage until PewDiePie reached 100 million subscribers on YouTube — and if his rival channel T-Series did so first, the files would be permanently deleted.
The person behind that attack, realizing just how much trouble they could get themselves into after having infected a few computers, <a href="https://github.com/000JustMe/PewCrypt">publicly released their code</a> so people could decrypt their files and move on.
But still, it&#8217;s unlikely that PewDiePie&#8217;s fans are about to stop their notoriously obnoxious campaign any time soon.

<h2>Ocean&#8217;s Once</h2>
In April 2018, hackers stole the equivalent of <a href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-mexico-cyber/mexico-central-bank-says-hackers-siphoned-15-million-from-five-companies-idUSKCN1IH38Q" target="_blank" rel="noopener">$15 million from Mexican banks</a> — and now we know how they probably did it.
Penetration tester and security advisor Josu Loza was one of the experts called in to respond to the April heist, and on March 8 he <a href="https://youtu.be/wnxRZy0K6Bw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">presented his findings</a> at the RSA Security conference in San Francisco.
Based on his analysis, Mexico&#8217;s central bank wasn&#8217;t doing nearly enough to protect its clients&#8217; money — but other financial institutions could avoid the same fate if they&#8217;re willing to work together.
<h2>Easy Money</h2>
On Friday, Wired published a <a href="https://www.wired.com/story/mexico-bank-hack/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">story</a> detailing the information Loza shared with the audience at RSA&#8217;s conference. Based on his assessment, the success of the heist was due to a combination of expert bank hackers willing to spend months planning their crime and a banking network rife with security holes.
During the presentation, Loza made the case that the hackers might have accessed the Banco de México&#8217;s internal servers from the public internet, or perhaps launched phishing attacks on bank executives or employees to gain access.
Regardless of how they first got access, Loza said, the main problem was putting too many eggs in one security basket. Because many of the networks lacked adequate segmentation and access controls, he argued, a single breach could provide the bank hackers with extensive access.
That enabled them to lay the groundwork to eventually make numerous money transfers in smaller amounts, perhaps $5,000 or so, to accounts under their control. They&#8217;d then pay hundreds of &#8220;cash mules&#8221; each a small sum — Loza estimated that $260 might be enough — to withdraw the money for them.
<h2>Cyber Insecurity</h2>
The bank hackers are still at large, but the <a href="https://futurism.com/the-byte/hacker-drain-1-million-cash-atm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">heist</a> appears to have served as a wake-up call for the Banco de México.
&#8220;From last year to today the focus has been implementing controls. Control, control, control,&#8221; Lazo said during his presentation, according to Wired. &#8220;And I think the attacks aren&#8217;t happening today because of it.&#8221;
He also noted the need for companies to collaborate to defend against cyberattacks.
&#8220;Mexican people need to start to work together. All the institutions need to cooperate more,&#8221; Loza said. &#8220;The main problem on cybersecurity is that we don’t share knowledge and information or talk about attacks enough. People don&#8217;t want to make details about incidents public.&#8221;

<h2>Cracking Down</h2>
Voting booths are <a href="https://futurism.com/the-byte/us-election-system-children-hack">notoriously buggy</a>. Whether they&#8217;ve been actively hacked or just improperly calibrated, every election season is rife with complaints that machines misrecorded ballots or that an election has been compromised by hackers.
To prevent us from having to take a technological step backwards to paper ballots, U.S. Department of Defense&#8217;s research division DARPA is working with cybersecurity firm Galois to develop open source voting machine technology that would let people verify that their votes were tallied correctly, <a href="https://motherboard.vice.com/en_us/article/yw84q7/darpa-is-building-a-dollar10-million-open-source-secure-voting-system">according to Motherboard</a>.
<h2>Open Source</h2>
The ultimate goal isn&#8217;t to sell machines, but to develop tech that would beef up existing voting machine vendors&#8217; security.
&#8220;We will not have a voting system that we can deploy. That’s not what we do,” Linton Salmon, the DARPA scientist managing the project, told Motherboard. &#8220;We will show a methodology that could be used by others to build a voting system that is completely secure.&#8221;
<h2>Kicking The Tires</h2>
To make sure that any new voting machines built with DARPA software are actually better than today&#8217;s, the plan is to invite experts ranging from academic computer scientists to hackers to test it out and search for vulnerabilities, according to Motherboard.
One way that the new system might improve upon others is by printing out a sheet showing a voter&#8217;s selections so that they can look it over before feeding it into a separate machine that will actually record the vote.
&#8220;That receipt does not permit you to prove anything about how you voted, but does permit you to prove that the system accurately captured your intent and your vote is in the final tally,&#8221; Galois principal scientist Joe Kiniry told Motherboard.

<h2>Viral Marketing</h2>
If you work in finance, your printer may have recently spewed out a bizarre warning about the future of your industry.
The warning, which took the form of a <a href="https://beware-of-bots.com/media/print/i_do_help_you.pdf">glitchy-looking letter</a> conveyed the warning that 94 percent of finance professionals could be replaced by AI by 2024. It&#8217;s been sent to over 623,000 printers with publicly-accessible ports, according to its creators — an ambitious piece of futuristic protest art for the era of automation.
&#8220;It&#8217;s 94% likely that by 2024 I will replace millions of accountants, auditors and financial analysts, no matter how experienced or talented ‘they’ may be,&#8221; the letter reads, maintaining the voice of an AI narrator. &#8220;The same fate will befall all professions based on structured and algorithmic processes.&#8221;
<h2>Cyber-Nagging</h2>
The project, called <a href="https://beware-of-bots.com/media/print/i_do_help_you.pdf">Beware of Bots</a>, is the brainchild of Vlad Sitnikov, the same guy who told Futurism he wanted to <a href="https://futurism.com/startrocket-giant-ads-night-sky-cubesats">launch giant billboards into space</a>.
This time, his advertising has gone hyperlocal — in the philosophical opposite of that annoying &#8220;learn to code&#8221; movement, he urges people to pivot to graphic design and other creative fields that artificial intelligence is less likely to automate.
&#8220;I will not be able to replace creative professions in the near future,&#8221; the letter reads, still in the voice of the AI. &#8220;Only 8% of graphic designwork will be replaced by bots by 2024.&#8221;
Sitnikov could stand to profit from the hack: the letter he sent to thousands of hacked printers contains a coupon for a design course by author Michael Janda, with whom Sitnikov collaborated, and he was working on behalf of Skillbox, the online learning platform hosting Janda&#8217;s courses.
<h2>Singles In Your Area</h2>
To reach the finance bros&#8217; printers, Sitnikov built a bot that accessed what&#8217;s called port 9100, through which many printers send and receive data. It&#8217;s not uncommon for hackers to exploit these publicly-accessible ports, so the hack itself isn&#8217;t all that revolutionary.
Accessing internet-connected printers by exploiting port 9100 is <a href="https://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/02/06/hacker_160000_printers/">technically illegal</a>, though most exploits tend to be harmless pranks. However,others have previously exploited port 9100 to <a href="https://readwrite.com/2016/03/28/racist-hack-spews-flyers-sm4/">commit hate crimes</a> or <a href="https://www.smartspate.com/how-to-hack-50000-network-printers/">send spam</a>.
What is new, however, is using the vulnerability for a viral marketing campaign. While this ad comes under the guise of benevolence, Sitnikov&#8217;s campaign could open the doors to all sorts of advertisements churning out of your printer.

<h2>Submarine Screen Door</h2>
According to a new internal review, the U.S. Navy is being overwhelmed by a wave of hacks and cyberattacks.
The problem is so bad — and the Navy&#8217;s cybersecurity so inadequate— that the Navy doesn&#8217;t even know how much sensitive information has been stolen, <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/navy-industry-partners-are-under-cyber-siege-review-asserts-11552415553?ns=prod/accounts-wsj">according to The Wall Street Journal</a>, which reviewed the 57-page internal report.
&#8220;We are under siege,&#8221; a senior Navy told the WSJ. &#8220;People think it’s much like a deathly virus — if we don’t do anything, we could die.&#8221;
<h2>One Way To Go</h2>
According to the report, the <a href="https://futurism.com/the-byte/navy-laser-weapon-research">Navy&#8217;s lax digital security</a> has jeopardized America&#8217;s position as the world&#8217;s military leader. The leaks of classified intel, which reportedly included plans for anti-aircraft missiles that could take down supersonic ships, have senior Navy officials justifiably concerned.
The report says that China has &#8220;derived an incalculable near- and long-term military advantage from [the hacks], thereby altering the calculus of global power,&#8221; according to the WSJ, which reviewed a copy of the report.
<h2>Too Cool For School</h2>
Hackers have also been targeting the Navy&#8217;s corporate and academic partners that may have looser security than the military.
&#8220;In the era of great power competition, it should come as no surprise that Chinese hackers are targeting academic institutions ripe with valuable information about U.S. military capabilities,&#8221;  wrote U.S. Senator Edward Markey in a letter about the hacks.
