Hi John, Australian Internet Service Providers are set to begin blocking illegal offshore gambling websites under tough new powers mandated for the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) by the Federal Government.
A well-known advanced persistent threat has been found to be using a new Windows backdoor, named Platinum by researchers at security outfit Kaspersky, and taking aim at targets mainly in South and South-East Asia. No current campaigns by this backdoor were detected. Property website Domain has agreed to acquire real estate digitisation vendor Real Time Agent, which digitises property transaction steps including agency agreements, auctions and contracts. According to unconfirmed reports, there is a hidden access 'backdoor' in the Siemens SIMATIC S7-1200 PLC which would give attackers access to any device. Software development and operations outfit GitLab is yet to make any announcement about a proposal it had floated recently, to avoid hiring Russian and Chinese nationals as site reliability engineers or support engineers. Australian telco Next Telecom is offering technology from global cybersecurity provider SonicWall in its Security In a Box bundle for business clients with telco-grade network security devices and a zero-touch feature.
