Von der Leyen: Chinese cyberattacks on EU hospitals ‘can’t be tolerated’
EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has accused China of leading a spate of cyberattacks against hospitals in Europe during the coronavirus outbreak, stressing that the EU will not “tolerate” such malicious activity.
The accusations were levelled at the conclusion of an EU-China summit on Monday (22 June), which brought together von der Leyen and Council President Charles Michel with Chinese counterparts Premier Li Keqiang and President Xi Jinping for talks via videoconference.
“We have seen cyber attacks on hospitals and dedicated computing centres,” von der Leyen said, adding that she “pointed out” to Premier Li and President Xi that such attacks along with China’s disinformation campaign in Europe “cannot be tolerated.”

State sponsored cyberattacks are happening right now
No one is saying it’s China, but everyone believes it’s China
As if battling the coronavirus and the massive economic downturn that will result from the spread of the virus worldwide wasn’t enough, countries now have to consider another issue: the threat of state-sponsored cyberattacks.
Australia has become the latest victim of a sophisticated attack against its national IT infrastructure, coming under a “sustained” cyberattack on June 18 that targeted not just government computer systems and networks, but also those of the country’s biggest businesses.
“The Australian Government is currently aware of, and responding to, a sustained targeting of Australian governments and companies by a sophisticated state-based actor,” the government said in a statement published in response to the attack.

Hungary hit by large cyber attack from Asia: Magyar Telekom
BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Hungarian financial institutions and telecoms infrastructure were hit with a powerful cyber attack on Thursday from computer servers located in Russia, China and Vietnam, telecoms firm Magyar Telekom said.
The event was a distributed-denial-of-service (DDoS) attack where hackers attempt to overwhelm a network with unusually high volumes of data traffic in order to paralyse it.
The volume of the attack was 10 times higher than that of usual DDoS attacks, the company said.
“That means that this was one of the biggest hacker attacks in Hungary ever, both in its size and complexity,” it said.

Ransomware hack cripples United Health Services hospitals, facilities across the US
The cyberattack, which began early Sunday, is thought to have employed the Ryuk ransomware, TechCrunch reported. Computer screens changed with text that referenced the “shadow universe,” which is consistent with the Ryuk ransomware, a person familiar with the situation told TechCrunch. “Everyone was told to turn off all the computers and not to turn them on again,” the person told the tech site. “We were told it will be days before the computers are up again.”

Suspected Russian hack is much worse than first feared: Here's what you need to know
👉🏼 The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency said the threat "poses a grave risk to the federal government."
👉🏼 CISA has not said who it thinks is the "advanced persistent threat actor" behind the "significant and ongoing" campaign, but many experts are pointing to Russia.
👉🏼 It's not clear exactly what the hackers have done beyond accessing top-secret U.S. government networks and monitoring data.
The scale of a sophisticated cyberattack on the U.S. government that was unearthed this week is much bigger than first anticipated.
The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency said in a summary Thursday that the threat "poses a grave risk to the federal government."
It added that "state, local, tribal, and territorial governments as well as critical infrastructure entities and other private sector organizations" are also at risk.
CISA believes the attack began at least as early as March. Since then, multiple government agencies have reportedly been targeted by the hackers, with confirmation from the Energy and Commerce departments so far.
"This threat actor has demonstrated sophistication and complex tradecraft in these intrusions," CISA said. "Removing the threat actor from compromised environments will be highly complex and challenging."

Gmail 'safer than parliament's email system' says Tory MP
Google's email service - Gmail - is “more secure” than parliament's email system, the chair of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee has claimed.
Tom Tugendhat told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme he has repeatedly been the focus of cyber attacks over the past three years.
Hackers have tried to access his account and sent emails impersonating him, he told the BBC.
The Tory MP believes China and Iran were behind some of these attempts.
“I was told by friends at GCHQ that I was better off sticking to Gmail, rather than using the parliamentary system, because it was more secure,” said Mr Tugendhat.
“Frankly, that tells you the level of security and the priority we're giving to democracy in the United Kingdom.”

Ending Anonymity: Why the WEF’s Partnership Against Cybercrime Threatens the Future of Privacy
With many focusing on tomorrow’s Cyber Polygon exercise, less attention has been paid to the World Economic Forum’s real ambitions in cybersecurity – to create a global organization aimed at gutting even the possibility of anonymity online. With the governments of the US, UK and Israel on board, along with some of the world’s most powerful corporations, it is important to pay attention to their endgame, not just the simulations.
