Cybersecurity companies have security issues of their own
A new SentinelOne report reveals that cybersecurity companies face significant threats themselves, including ransomware attacks, Chinese state-sponsored hackers, and North Korean IT workers posing as job applicants. These firms are attractive targets because compromising them can potentially grant attackers insight into the security of thousands of clients and millions of endpoints. SentinelOne emphasizes the importance of transparency and cross-team collaboration in identifying and countering these sophisticated threats, highlighting the broader risks facing the cybersecurity industry.

Speaking of SentinelOne...
More than 30 leading cybersecurity professionals and academics have publicly condemned President Trump's order that revoked security clearances for all SentinelOne employees and launched a Department of Justice investigation into former CISA director Chris Krebs, calling it political retaliation. The open letter argues that the order is intended to intimidate cybersecurity professionals whose work or findings may contradict the administration’s narrative, especially given Krebs’ previous fact-checking of misinformation about the 2020 election. The signatories demand the reinstatement of SentinelOne employees’ clearances and the withdrawal of the investigation into Krebs, warning that such targeting threatens the integrity and independence of the entire cybersecurity community.

ROUTERS Act passes in House
The House has passed the ROUTERS Act, a bipartisan bill requiring the Department of Commerce to study the national security risks posed by routers and modems controlled or influenced by U.S. adversaries, with a particular focus on Chinese-made devices. Lawmakers say the legislation builds on prior measures that have removed untrusted equipment from U.S. communications infrastructure and addresses growing concerns about state-sponsored hacking campaigns exploiting network vulnerabilities. Supporters argue the bill is vital for understanding and mitigating threats to American communications networks, which are increasingly targeted by foreign cyberattacks. Matt Bracken has more. |
