Supply chain under attack as ‘dark’ cyber underground peddles sensitive company data – By Brooke Crothers (FOX Business) / Nov 7 2021
Cyber criminals from the dark web have been ‘peddling sensitive information that can provide access to supply chain companies’ computers’
Key sectors in the supply chain are being targeted by cybercriminals, a new report says.
Against a backdrop of extreme volatility in the supply chain of goods, cyber criminals on the dark web have been peddling sensitive information that can provide access to supply chain companies’ computers, according to a report from cyber intelligence firm Intel 471.
Underground cyber brokers have been selling credentials – used to access computers – belonging to companies that operate air, ground and maritime cargo transport on several continents and are “responsible for moving billions of dollars worth of goods around the world,” Intel 471 said.
Cyber thieves have gotten hold of the credentials by leveraging vulnerabilities in remote access technologies such as Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), Virtual Private networks (VPN), Citrix, and SonicWall, among others, Intel 471 said.
