Three million Android users may have lost money and had their devices infected by spyware, after the discovery that the official Google Play store has been distributing apps infected by a new family of malware. French security researcher Maxime Ingrao described last week on Twitter how he had discovered the new malware, named “Autolycos”, and how it signs up users to premium services.

“Hey, did you read about (blank)?” Keeping up with the barrage of news is just one of our many daily distractions from work. Toss in our personal obligations and other stressors – all fighting for space in our minds – and making a dent in the to-do list is often harder than we expect.
“PII” stands for personally identifiable information. Hackers often target personally identifiable information for a variety of reasons: to steal a customer’s identity, take over an account, launch a phishing attack, or damage an organization.

Before your company approaches meeting these regulations, it’s important to have a firm understanding of the data you will be protecting.

Third parties are an inevitable and essential part of your business ecosystem. They’re your vendors, partners, and contractors. They improve efficiency, extend your reach, and make it possible to deliver the best possible products and services. From a security perspective, however, they also bring a significant amount of risk. Misconfigurations of a third-party’s cloud can lead to supply chain data breach risks.
Leadership and teamwork personally and professionally have long been a passion of mine, while we all interpret and digest the concepts differently, I usually find the strongest parallels in team sports. Over the last couple of months there has been no shortage of sport available to watch – tennis, cricket tests, state of origin, rugby (mostly look forward to the seeing the Springboks play) and I guess AFL requires an obligatory mention.
