6. Data Loss Report Issued: Proofpoint, a cybersecurity and compliance company, has released its inaugural Data Loss Landscape report, which explores how current approaches to data loss prevention and insider threats are holding up against current challenges, such as data proliferation, sophisticated threat actors and generative artificial intelligence (GenAI). The findings reveal that data loss is a problem stemming from the interaction between humans and machines, as “careless users” are much more likely to cause those incidents than compromised or misconfigured systems, the company said.
7. Malware Alert: The Sign1 malware campaign has compromised more than 39,000 WordPress sites in the last six months, using malicious JavaScript injections to redirect users to scam sites. The most recent variant of the malware is estimated to have infected approximately 2,500 sites over the past two months alone. The attacks entail injecting rogue JavaScript into legitimate HTML widgets and plugins that allow for arbitrary JavaScript and other code to be inserted. (Source: The Hacker News)
