In that case, the hackers could have performed a SIM swap attack &#8211; convincing Dorsey&#8217;s phone carrier to assign his number to a different device &#8211; and then moved in.<\/p>\n<p>According to security blogger Brian Krebs, the hackers may also be involved in a string of celebrity account takeovers conducted via SIM swapping tricks.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/publish.twitter.com\/?query=https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2Fbriankrebs%2Fstatus%2F1167540888228249600&#038;widget=Tweet<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"crosshead\"><span>Cisco patches &#8220;10\/10&#8221; security bug<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A high-severity vulnerability has been reported and patched for Cisco&#8217;s IOS XE platform.<\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.cisco.com\/security\/cve-2019-12643\">CVE-2019-12643<\/a> is an authentication bypass flaw in IOS XE&#8217;s REST API that, if exploited, would allow the attacker to send arbitrary commands to the device. The bug got a maximum CVSS score of 10.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few mitigating factors for this flaw, however. Most notably, the REST API is not enabled by default &#8211; admins have the option to use it for management tasks but the flaw won&#8217;t be exposed out of the box. In fact, in IOS XE versions 16.7.1 and later, the vulnerable package is not even included, but rather it must be downloaded separately.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, Cisco notes, only four models, the Integrated Services Virtual Router, Cloud Services Router 1000V Series, ASR 1000 Series Aggregation Services Routers, and 4000 Series Integrated Services Routers support the vulnerable API.<\/p>\n<p>Those who do use the REST API package will want to make sure they are running version 16.09.03 or later.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"crosshead\"><span>Ransomware bites down on US dentists<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A serious ransomware outbreak at a service provider has left a number of dentists in the US unable to access patient records.

The decryption of the data is now underway, but DDS Safe is telling its customers not to type up any patient letters just yet.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At this time, we caution against making any notifications because, as set forth above, we simply do not know the scope of the attack.

That was when French police were called in to help break up the operation. Eventually, the two groups were able to seize the command and control servers and replace it with a cleaning tool that removes the malware from the infected machines.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The cybercriminals behind Retadup had the ability to execute additional arbitrary malware on hundreds of thousands of computers worldwide,\u201d Avast malware analyst Jan Vojt\u011b\u0161ek
