Iran-Linked Cyberattack Hits UK Power Facility, ShinyHunters Phish ReliaQuest, LockBit Claims US Bancorp, Teams Blocks Bots, Expired Visa Card Flaw
Cyber Security Today host David Shipley reports a UK power facility was taken offline for four days in July by a cyberattack linked to Iran Nexus hackers, though damage was contained to a single small generator.
ReliaQuest confirms ShinyHunters targeted its staff with phone-based social engineering and a fake reliaquest.claims SSO page, gaining only temporary view-only Okta dashboard access before being blocked by device trust controls, with no customer data affected.
LockBit claims it hacked US Bancorp, but the bank says the incident traces to a fourth-party contractor outside its environment and LockBit has provided no proof. Microsoft is rolling out a Teams policy to automatically block detected external bots from meetings.
UMass Amherst researchers found some expired Visa cards can be "zombified" for contactless payments via a two-phone relay, depending on issuer and bank checks.
