There are three key reasons the health care records are a lucrative target.
A website on the dark web named Richlogs has emerged as a competitor to the Genesis market, selling digital identities. By collecting and stealing “digital fingerprints” from users’ web browsers, including IP address, web traffic, and operating system information, hackers can impersonate online users and access their sensitive data, include bank accounts, tax sites, and social media accounts.
Security professionals obviously are aware of the need to keep up with the latest threats, while concerns about specific geographic regions are usually just a subset of things to keep in mind. However, Russia-based risks should be on security teams’ radar screens, especially those doing business in or with enterprises from this region, said security analysts from IntSights.

Governments around the world are taking steps to direct and manage the use of the internet within their borders. Geopolitical situations and apprehension about data privacy give way to restrictions for commerce and civilian internet use. In most cases, actions to restrict access to the global internet is meant to enhance security for ingenuous users and protect businesses. Whether the reason is political or security in nature, laws governing internet users are growing in popularity as are the consequences and global impact of those measures.

For hackers, the internet is the getaway car and malware is the firearm. Stealing money or data is easier than it was in the 1930s thanks to technology.
For thousands of years, humans have worked to collect intelligence on their enemies. Intelligence gathering is not a new practice; in fact, it is one of the oldest war tactics dating back to biblical times, when warlords and army commanders used it to gain advantages over their rivals.
Founded in 2015, IntSights is changing the way companies’ approach, consume and operationalize threat intelligence.
