Hundreds of US Military and Defense Credentials Stolen
Research by Hudson Rock has revealed that credentials for sensitive corporate and military networks, including those of Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Honeywell, have been compromised. These credentials are available for purchase on cybercrime marketplaces, offering access to corporate email, VPN accounts, and military training platforms. For as little as $10 per log, threat actors can buy access to these sensitive systems. Hudson Rock's findings indicate that even organizations that are not directly impacted by infostealers can face risks if their partners or suppliers have been compromised. The report emphasizes the potential national security risks posed by these breaches, as the data stolen could allow adversaries to infiltrate critical networks. Affected users are advised to rotate their passwords immediately and conduct forensic investigations to assess the extent of the breaches. For further reading, consider these sources:
