Good advice for all.

Given recent developments, re-upping our statement from the summer.
Bottom line: time to brush up on Iranian TTPs and pay close attention to your critical systems, particularly ICS. Make sure you’re also watching third party accesses!

Federal agencies are investigating a #cyberattack against Pensacola, Florida which began around 1:30am Saturday morning.
This scam is becoming very popular. Another angle is that they send you pictures of your "puppy" and ask for additional monies for "vaccinations" or similar. They will try and drain as much money out of their mark as they can. And you will not get a puppy in the end...

Always report any identity theft, successful or not, to the IC3 to help the #FBI and other government agencies understand the full breadth of the problem, and, just maybe, they will receive some additional funding to fight this scourge.
Guard that PIN!
Ever seen a hidden spy cam embedded into a gas pump? I hadn't either until this past week. Hidden cam + internal Bluetooth card skimmer found by Las Vegas police: krebsonsecurity.com/2019/11/… Another reminder why it's not a great idea to use debit + PIN at the pump.
This will be an interesting case to watch and could effect all of our #cyberliability insurance policies: startribune.com/target-sues-…
Good advice. It is absolutely necessary to thoroughly vet your MSSP (and your MSP) vendor.
