I thought this was a good article. It was about a recent interview where President Obama basically says we have to look forward to the future of hacking where AI can possibly be used to hack our nuclear codes. It talks about a recent DARPA Grand Challenge competition where AI systems were pitted against each other. The President argues for people to think of cybersecurity as an immune system response to a virus rather than as perimeter defense.

A Dutch researcher discovered theses online skimming and at the time there was only 3,501 stores that had this java code. The infection kept growing by 30 percent. “The malicious code is obfuscated and is deployed using known vulnerabilities in content management solutions or e-commerce software that website owners have failed to patch.” Was stated in the article.

http://www.darkreading.com/attacks-breaches/education-now-suffers-the-most-ransomware-attacks-/d/d-id/1326960.Education Now Suffers The Most Ransomware Attacks.New data shows ransomware rates worldwide doubling and tripling in past 12 months. This is interesting because WVC is actually in the 4% that got hit with a Locky virus about 4 months ago. It spawned in the IT department and caused chaos for a few days.

A series of malware campaigns leveraging a Trojan backdoor called Odinaff since January. It has been infecting financial targets, including users of the SWIFT Bank messaging system, allowing hackers to install additional tools that enable network spying, and credential stealing among other unwanted activities.

The US began to notice massive Russian cyber-intrusions into government computers in early 2016 or before. They began telling reporters in July, after the release of 20,000 hacked emails from Democratic Party officials and consultants by WikiLeaks.
