In this roundup, we talk about five true leaks and some lessons to be learned from them.

The late April was especially “rich” with news related to bugs, attacks and Android-targeting malware.

A new APT group is seen to have been exploiting hotpatching, a now-deprecated feature in Windows operating systems, to carry out their attacks.

Locky and Petya ransomware strains took the world by storm when they shouldn’t be successful at all.

Securelist has released a new report on DDoS attacks in the first quarter of 2016.

Instead of writing their own malicious tools, criminals are increasingly using the off-the-shelf malware, and more and more often – totally legitimate software.

Remember the beginning of Terminator 2: The Judgement Day where John Connor is shown hacking an ATM with an Atari Portfolio?

Ransomware is mostly the end-user problem. However, businesses get hit too, and hit hard, especially the smaller ones.

A new strain of ransomware targets servers which is, mildly put, a troubling development.

Yet another ZeuS variant is threatening businesses.

It’s not common that the ransomware criminals can be outsmarted. But sometimes they can be.

Cryptomalware can infiltrate and encrypt an entire network – including its backups – within minutes.

Kaspersky Small Office Security achieves best results in AV-TEST’s latest testing rounds of Windows 10 compatible corporate products.

As the criminals join forces “intercontinentally” to improve their crimeware together, businesses and LEAs should work together as well. Cybersecurity is everybody’s business – today more, perhaps, than ever.

88% of companies are willing to pay extra in order to work with a bank that has a strong security policy and a good security track record, new survey by Kaspersky Lab shows.

Public studies aren’t there for any kind of fear-mongering, however some cybersecurity-related news really may make one feel uneasy. That’s the case with the Kaspersky Lab’s Global Research & Analysis Team (GReAT) field study of the security of hospitals’ IT systems. As one may have already guessed, the situation there is, let’s say, not good.

The guide itself is not a detailed testing or assessment program, but rather an illustration of key elements that organizations need to be aware of to achieve the best safety and resilience of complex information systems that will be in the foundation of smart cities.
