Traveling? Beware of Unsecured Hotel Wi-Fi Networks

Nearly every hotel nowadays offers free wi-fi, but a surprising number of them use unsecured wireless networks. Most commonly, the unsecured networks use a captive portal to access the wi-fi network, where a splash screen pops-up in a web browser window before you are granted further access to the network. Often there’s some marginal login requirement, like entering your room number, or email address. Captive portals are different from entering a wi-fi password to join the wireless network, which is necessary when joining a secured network.But once connected, these networks are usually completely insecure, with no wi-fi security protocol in place at all. This means that any unencrypted data is transmitting openly over the wireless network potentially in plain text format, potentially revealing that data to any nefarious actors or snoopers on the network. While it may be improbable or unlikely that someone is sniffing around the wireless network for unencrypted data, it’s still wise to

How to Import Passwords to iCloud Keychain Using a Mac

Are you planning to use iCloud Keychain for managing all your passwords? If you’ve been relying on a third-party password manager until now, you may want to move all your existing passwords to make the migration to iCloud Keychain a whole lot easier. This can be done, although it’s not exactly simple. The iCloud Keychain works seamlessly across Apple devices. Considering they’ve now added support for Windows devices too via a browser extension, a lot more users may be interested in using it rather than a third-party option like LastPass or DashLane that requires you to pay to unlock all the features. Importing existing passwords to the iCloud Keychain has always always been a headache, but with macOS Big Sur onward, Safari gives you an easier workaround.Don’t want to start from scratch with iCloud Keychain? We got you covered. Simply read along, as we’ll be guiding you on how to import passwords to iCloud Keychain via Safari. ★★ Full Article ★★

RSA 2022Conference

We’re back at RSA! The largest InfoSec conference in the world returned to in-person with spectacular fashion this month and we were glad to be a part of it. We didn’t see the same crowds that you would have seen prior to Covid-19 pandemic, but it definitely feels like we’re close to getting back to “normal” and will be at full force soon. It was very clear that everyone enjoyed seeing each other face to face again and were craving the in-person engagement that comes with the conference experience. I put together this post to give you a glimpse of what it was like to be at RSA 2022, and it has me even more excited for Blackhat in August. EXPO HALL Our max size 20x20 booth in the South Expo HallThe North and South Expo halls were the same they’ve always been, but it was good to be back. Our new booth shows off our Webroot and Brightcloud Threat Intelligence platform.

World Password DayBlog

Today is World Password Day and we wanted to take that opportunity to have a discussion with our community about “Password Integrity”. With every passing year, it seems like we need five more accounts for our business and personal lives. That means five new passwords and five new opportunities for someone to access your information or steal your identity. On top of all that, how many of you can honestly say you use a unique password for every one of your ever-growing list of online logins?The truth is, it has become nearly impossible to create and remember long, secure passwords for all of our online accounts. The solution that most people have begun to adopt is the use of a password manager such as LastPass which is included in SecureAnywhere Internet Security Plus and Complete. Using a password manager solves a number of problems such as:Generating randomized, secure passwords Locks your huge list of account passwords behind a singular “master password” or biometric password such as

Wanna get rich? Don't build an app

[b]By Nancy Gohring | CITEworld/ Posted on August 25, 2014[/b]   It's every developer's dream: Win fame and fortune for creating a mobile app that sells like wildfire. Unless you work for a huge established company, keep dreaming.   [url=https://www.comscore.com/Insights/Presentations-and-Whitepapers/2014/The-US-Mobile-App-Report]ComScore[/url] released a U.S. Mobile App Report last week and made some interesting discoveries. It found that nine of the top 10 most used apps were built by six huge tech companies: Facebook, Google, Apple, Yahoo, Amazon, and eBay. If you cast a slightly wider net, the scene starts to look slightly better but still not great. Those same six brands account for 16 of the top 25, and 24 of the top 50 apps, ComScore found. At the same time that those giants dominate the mobile app landscape, the majority of people don't even bother to try anything new. ComScore found that 65.5 percent of smartphone users download zero new apps each month. There's this

Cyber News Rundown Week of June 17thBlog

Cyber News Rundown: Foxconn production plant in Mexico suffered LockBit attackA Mexico based Foxconn plant suffered a May ransomware attack carried out by LockBit and are only now slowly returning to full production. In other cybersecurity news, the BlackCat ransomware group took their pages off the dark web and are now posting stolen information to the public web. African supermarket chain suffers RansomHouse attackOne of the largest supermarket chains in Africa, Shoprite, has fallen victim to a ransomware attack by the RansomHouse group. RansomHouse is notorious for posting stolen data for sale but will just as easily publish the stolen data to their leak site if the victims or buyers show no interest in paying. It is still unclear if Shoprite is dealing with encryption or any other disruptions in their normal operations, as the RansomHouse group claim they do not employ encryption in their attacks, focusing instead on data theft and subsequent extortion.
