Cybersecurity Today: MongoDB Vulnerability ‘Mongo Bleed’ Exploited, Rainbow Six Siege Hacked, Trust Wallet Compromise, and GrubHub Crypto Scams
In this episode of Cybersecurity Today, David Shipley covers significant cybersecurity incidents that occurred over the holiday period. The major topics include the ‘Mongo Bleed’ vulnerability in MongoDB that was disclosed and then publicly exploited on Christmas Day, leading to potential data leaks. Ubisoft’s Rainbow Six Siege faced a breach enabling attackers to manipulate in-game functions and distribute billions worth of in-game currency for free. Trust Wallet’s browser extension was compromised, resulting in a loss of approximately $7 million in cryptocurrencies. Finally, a phishing scam using a legitimate GrubHub subdomain to promise fake Bitcoin rewards was also discussed. Immediate actions and preventive updates were highlighted for all these incidents.
