A campaign to hack into Azure Cloud accounts is targeting senior executives at a wide range of organizations, affecting hundreds of user accounts so far, according to California-based cybersecurity firm Proofpoint.

“In late November 2023, Proofpoint researchers detected a new malicious campaign, integrating credential phishing and cloud account takeover (ATO) techniques,” Proofpoint said in an advisory post. The firm notes that the attack is still ongoing.

The advisory post explains the technical details of the hacks, but in short, threat actors use shared documents that are individualized to the target as phishing lures. The document links, however, redirect users to a malicious phishing web page, where account details are stolen.

A video being shared on social media falsely claims President Putin declared the founder of the World Economic Forum (WEF), Klaus Schwab, a “legitimate military target”. 

In the video, a man says: “According to Russian President, Vladimir Putin, speaking at the plenary session of the 20th meeting of the Valdai International Discussion Club in Sochi, Putin declared that globalists, including Schwab, and his close advisors are legitimate military targets”. 

Mr Putin supposedly added that this is because they have been “shamelessly attempting to seize power in a globalist coup d’etat”.

For years, fraudsters have abused copyright takedown notices to dupe Google into removing websites from its search engine. But now the company is trying to fight back. 

On Monday, Google filed a lawsuit against two scammers based in Vietnam, who allegedly filed numerous false copyright takedowns with the company that targeted over 117,000 URLs.

The alleged scammers, Nguyen Van Duc and Pham Van Thien, exploited a Google system that businesses and people can use to report copyright violations under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Google will then take down the URL hosting the…

Big tech was in the crosshairs once again at one of the biggest annual gatherings of conservative politicians and personalities.

In speeches at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), elected officials, including Sens. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., and Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., targeted big tech and the legal immunity companies enjoy under Section 230, which is currently being considered by the Supreme Court.

Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Co., said in her speech Saturday: “I have called for 230 protections to be removed from these big tech companies who are hiding behind section 230, and they are acting like editors rather than publishers.”

But unlike last year’s conference, speakers shied away from boosting a grand utopian vision of a conservative “parallel economy” shielded from the…
