Over 500K Zoom accounts being sold on dark web, researchers find
//More than 500,000 accounts of the popular video conferencing app are being sold on the dark web and hacker forums...
These accounts are being sold “for less than a penny each, and in some cases, given away for free,” the report said.
//In this case, cybercriminals are employing “credential stuffing” where they try to log in to Zoom using account data such as usernames and passwords, leaked in older data breaches. If the login is successful, it is added to a list that is sold to other hackers.
//brokers are offering so-called “zero-day exploits” that hack into Zoom video sessions. A zero-day exploit takes advantage of a vulnerability in a software program that is not made public before the day it becomes active, meaning that there are, in effect, zero days to fix the problem.
//The vulnerabilities would allow hackers to break into Zoom video sessions and potentially spy on calls, according to Motherboard.
//“Zoom takes user security extremely seriously. Since learning of these rumors, we have been working around the clock with a reputable, industry-leading security firm to investigate them. To date, we have not found any evidence substantiating these claims,” a Zoom spokesperson told Fox News.

Chinese Hackers Infiltrate Vatican’s Computer System, Allegedly Stealing Information on September’s China-Vatican Negotiations and Gathering Intelligence on the Hong Kong Diocese and Pro-Democracy Movements
A cybersecurity company in the US discovered that Chinese hackers have been infiltrating the Vatican’s computer network in the past three months, allegedly stealing information related to the China-Vatican Negotiations in the coming September. Besides, the company said that hackers also infiltrated the computers of the Catholic diocese of Hong Kong, possibly stealing intelligence on its stance towards the Hong Kong pro-democracy movements and the relationship between the diocese and the Vatican.
Malware Found in Official Vatican Emails
Recorded Future, a private cybersecurity company based in Massachusetts, US, released a report on Wednesday (July 29), stating that Chinese hackers have been infiltrating the Vatican’s computer network, with intentions to steal relevant information ahead of China’s precarious negotiations with the Vatican. The Vatican and Beijing are expected to discuss the appointment of bishops, the status of the underground church, and other issues in September this year.
The report stated that the acts targeted at the Vatican were initiated by “RedDelta”, a hacker group supported by the Chinese government. This was believed to be the first instance where hackers working for China had been discovered, with their direct attack on the computer systems of the Vatican, the Catholic diocese of Hong Kong, and the Pontifical Institute for Foreign Missions coming to light.

Washington to Restrict Cloud Service Providers from Cooperating With Foreign Companies That Harbor Hackers, Targeting at China, Russia and Iran
Cyber-attack by hackers is rampant. A report said that President Trump is drafting an executive order to restrict the international operation of U.S. cloud computing companies such as Amazon and Microsoft, regulating their corporation with foreign cloud companies, in an effort to protect against foreign cyber-attack from hackers, referring to those from China, Russia, and Iran.
According to sources, the executive order allows the Department of Commerce to prohibit U.S. cloud providers from partnering with foreign cloud companies that offer safe haven to hackers and forbid foreign providers from operating in the U.S., preventing foreign hackers to conduct quick and anonymous cyberattacks through cloud service provider.
U.S. officials repeatedly accuse China of its economic and security threat. The report said that this executive order is intended to address the attack from China. It has also been reported that the measure is also targeted to deal with hacking attacks by Russia and Iran.
