About this episode

Phishing Scams, Leaked Stream Keys, Zero-Day Android Vulnerabilities, and Bounties on Russian Hackers

In this episode of Cybersecurity Today, host Jim Love discusses several critical cybersecurity issues. Attackers are using iCloud calendar invites for phishing scams, leveraging Apple's system to bypass security checks. The US Department of Defense has exposed livestream credentials, risking hijack and fake content insertion. Billions of Android phones are vulnerable due to unpatched critical zero days, and Google has only fixed issues for Pixel devices so far. Additionally, the US State Department has placed a $10 million bounty on three Russian FSB hackers responsible for attacks on energy companies. Jim emphasizes the importance of securing digital assets and maintaining strong cybersecurity practices.
