Chinese Hackers Breach Government Email Accounts

MarketJar

Chinese-based hackers have recently gained unauthorized access to the email accounts of approximately 25 organizations, including multiple government agencies, according to Microsoft. The breach was initially discovered in mid-June by an unnamed agency within the Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB), as announced by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, the primary federal cybersecurity watchdog. While Microsoft did not disclose the specific countries or agencies impacted, it revealed that the hacking group primarily targets Western governments for the purpose of espionage. Microsoft collaborated with the federal Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency to expel the hackers, indicating that U.S. organizations were among the victims. Senator Mark Warner, who heads the Senate Intelligence Committee, expressed close monitoring of what appears to be a significant cybersecurity breach by Chinese intelligence. He emphasized the need for close coordination between the U.S. government and the private sector in countering this evolving threat, noting the continuous enhancement of China's cyber collection capabilities against the United States and its allies. Microsoft's report stated that the hacks began on May 15 and remained undetected until June 16. The perpetrators primarily focused on gaining access to email accounts, although Microsoft confirmed that they no longer have such access. The report did not explicitly attribute the hacker group to the Chinese government. Unlike hackers associated with Russia or Iran, Chinese hackers are less inclined to disrupt their targets, instead gaining prominence as some of the world's most proficient cyberspies. Fortunately, there are advanced cybersecurity companies like CyberCatch Holdings, Inc. (TSXV:CYBE) that can help businesses safeguard against hackers.

This robust tokenomics model enhances the attractiveness of QUBE as an investment opportunity.

Aggressive China Hackers Could Threaten Critical US Infrastructure

MarketJar

Chinese hackers could pose a serious threat to critical US infrastructure, according to a top US cybersecurity official. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) Director Jen Easterly warned that China is shifting away from espionage towards more disruption and destruction and in the event of a conflict between the United States and China, hackers might endanger crucial pipelines and transportation infrastructure. "I think this is the real threat that we need to be prepared for," Easterly said Monday at the Aspen Institute in Washington, DC regarding China's recent infiltration into US military and business sector facilities. Last month, Western intelligence agencies and Microsoft revealed that a state-sponsored Chinese group codenamed Volt Typhoon had been spying on a range of critical US infrastructure organizations, from transportation to telecommunications. The stern warning comes at a time when international tensions are high. While the US and China routinely spy on each other, this is one of the largest known Chinese cyber-espionage campaigns against American critical infrastructure according to analysts. Corporate executives know significantly less about potential Chinese partners and customers than they did even a year ago. Fending off cyber threats from China has become a primary focus for the US government, which has begun to describe the links between the Chinese government and other hacker groups in clearer and blunter terms. Chinese cyber penetration and espionage have long been a source of concern for American companies. Chinese corporations have utilized intellectual property theft to compete with their American counterparts. However, Easterly's emphasis on the clear and present danger implies that the US administration is becoming more willing to identify risks other than espionage. In the event of a conflict, the loss of essential pipelines, communications infrastructure, or transportation services might devastate the US economy. The Colonial Pipeline cyber intrusion, for example, caused aircraft disruptions and gas shortages along the East Coast. The original cost of the Russian hackers' strike was $5 million. According to Easterly, the most important issue for anyone who runs or operates critical infrastructure is to be prepared for disruptive attacks. Thankfully, companies like Plurilock Security Inc. (TSXV:PLUR) (OTC:PLCKF), an identity-centric cybersecurity provider, is already protecting some of the world's most powerful organizations against cybercrime. Delivering Next-Generation Cybersecurity to Government Agencies With unique AI capabilities capable of identifying malicious behavior within seconds, Plurilock Security Inc.

By analyzing individual behavior patterns, the company’s AI technology can identify and detect malicious activities within seconds, offering real-time protection against cyber threats. The company’s Plurilock AI solution is available in three configurations. Plurilock AI Cloud offers a comprehensive suite of tools to enable least privilege access management across a business’s cloud universe, along with cloud-based data loss prevention (DLP) capabilities; Plurilock AI Cloud DLP pairs the AI Cloud with an endpoint agent to ensure least privilege strategies are maintained to protect sensitive data across employee workstations; and Plurilock AI Complete, which ties these capabilities to machine learning (ML) and behavioral biometric identity.

Fraud and identity platform Bureau extends series A funding to $16.5m with GMO VenturePartners as it scales globally

Bureau

As businesses around the world expand and grow, they seek to understand who their customers are and if they can trust them. Helping them on this journey, fraud and identity decisioning platform Bureau is today announcing an additional $4.5m from GMO VenturePartners, GMO Payment Gateway, and existing investors to complete its series A funding round at $16.5m. With the completion of the latest round, total funding for the startup has reached $20.5m to date. Founded in 2020, Bureau is a global identity decisioning platform for fraud prevention and compliance management. Businesses use the Bureau risk orchestration platform to manage compliance, and prevent fraud for their entire customer journey. Today the company serves customers across banking, fintech, insurance, the gig economy, and real money gaming among others. Bureau has increased customer and revenue numbers 6x in the last 12 months, with over 300m identities verified through its platform. The company is headquartered in San Francisco, with offices in India, Singapore, and Dubai. Bureau is the brainchild of Ranjan Reddy, who earlier founded payments startup Qubecell in Asia that was later acquired by Boku and Ranjan served as Chief Business Officer at Boku Identity (latterly acquired by Twilio). Bureau is the culmination of Ranjan’s two decades experience in innovating the customer journey and the start of a source of truth for a network of verified identities. “We founded Bureau to build a single source of digital trust, " said Ranjan Reddy, CEO and founder of Bureau. “Our identity decisioning platform is purpose-built to orchestrate massive, disparate data to recognise, structure, and amplify risk signals in milliseconds so that customers can reach an absolute decision in real time. The outcome is material. Working with us, companies know who their consumers are, who they say they are and that they have good intentions, while consumers know their digital identities and privacy are safe and secure.” In addition to the funding round, Bureau has completed the acquisition of inVOID, a YC-backed identity verification startup and eyes a strategic partnership with GMO Payment Gateway. Bureau intends to leverage this to enhance its global coverage, widen its IP scope and broaden its tech stack Ranjan Reddy added: “Compliance regulations are no longer limited to the banking sector. Nearly every sector – gig economy, crypto, gaming, ecommerce – faces regulations, some for the very first time. But companies cannot just rely on compliance. They need to know whether a digital identity, and their transaction is really who they say they are. So compliance + fraud prevention from one source, in the form of a trust network is highly valuable. This acquisition does just that. It adds to the distinct strengths of our device intelligence, behavioral AI, and no-code decisioning platform and brings additional KYC and compliance workflows to our real-time, AI-based capabilities. The synergies are a game-changer for companies because for the first time they have a clear view into whether a digital identity is trustworthy all orchestrated from a single platform.” Gartner estimates that Cyber fraud will cost the world $1T annually by 2025 and it’s unsurprising that the market for fraud detection and prevention platforms is expected to reach $142B by 2028. 73% of this expenditure is borne by companies in the Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance sectors today. Looking at the current fraud scenario, Ryu Muramatsu, Director/Founding Partner at GMO VenturePartners Inc. commented: “Ranjan and his team have displayed vision-market fit and have demonstrated the credentials it takes to succeed in the fraud and risk mitigation space. We are honored to back them and partner with them to take their identity decisioning platform for fraud prevention and compliance management globally. As an investor on both debt and equity sides, it’s clear to us that Fraud prevention is a key priority for Fintechs today and Bureau is in a great position to become the market leader in this space.” About Bureau Bureau is a modern no-code fraud, and identity decisioning platform. It delivers accurate conclusions about the trustworthiness of digital identities to prevent fraud and ease compliance, resulting in seamless digital journeys for legitimate customers. The single AI-architected platform provides banks, fintech, gaming, gig economy and e-commerce companies with the complete range of identity verification, fraud prevention and detection, and risk and compliance solutions.

Minuteman Press Franchise in Cranberry Township, PA Moves to New Location

Minuteman Press International Inc

The Minuteman Press franchise in Cranberry Township has moved to a brand new facility located at 1185 Freedom Road, Cranberry Twp, PA 16066. Rich Coyner has owned the business for six years, while the shop itself has been operating for over 20 years. Rich shares, “Our original location was initially setup to accommodate offset presses and a backroom operation with little retail-facing space. We moved away from the offset press business five years ago and needed a fresh look that allows our customers to see how technology has changed the way we deliver printed services to them.” He continues, “We moved into a larger space that is wide open and enables our clients to see more of our operation and capabilities. Our digital presses are near the front of the store and clients can see how we move a job from print to completion. We also added a larger lobby area with display racks for logo apparel and a display case for our promotional products lines. Our lobby is also wide open and accessible for customers in accordance with ADA guidelines.” Growing the Business When asked how he’s grown Minuteman Press in Cranberry Township since purchasing the business six years ago, Rich highlights the following: “ Diversification / Expansion of Products – When I purchased the business, the focus was only on printing paper products. We have expanded into promotional products, logo apparel, EDDM and direct mail, wide format printing, and more. I eliminated our offset presses, purchased a Xante Envelope Press, added 2 new digital presses and upgraded all of our equipment by purchasing a new challenge cutter, Baumfolder Folding Machine and Graphic Whizard Perf & Scoring machine to ensure we could provide quality products in a timely manner. We also expanded our marketing efforts to pursue promotional products and apparel opportunities from our existing customer base. Acquisition – I acquired an independent print shop that was a few miles north of me and rolled his business into our existing operation. Networking – I am a Board Member on the largest Chamber of Commerce group in the Greater Pittsburgh area – The Pittsburgh North Regional Chamber – and I leverage these networking opportunities and relationships to market my business. Community Welcome Wagon – I’ve also partnered with the local Welcome Wagon business – North Pittsburgh Greeting Co. – who welcomes all new businesses to the area and provides them a list of local businesses and goodies to help them get their business off the ground. We offer 500 Free Business cards and 500 Envelopes as a way of welcoming them to the area and letting them know we can support their printing and marketing needs.” Rich adds, “We have a great team that enjoys meeting the needs of our customers. I know that if I continue to invest in good people, new technology and keep things moving forward, the customers will stay with us. At Minuteman Press, we continue to evolve and strive to get better at everything we do to make sure our customers are happy and satisfied with our work. If we can provide a solution, we do it! And if for some reason we can’t, we’ll point them in the right direction.” Career Change & Franchise Support Prior to buying the business, Rich shares, “I spent over 30 years in the transportation & logistics industry, 20-plus years working in Corporate America for three Fortune 500 companies and the last 12 years running a privately held third-party logistics organization. I knew how to run a company but was not sure what I wanted to do so I became involved in franchise consulting as a Certified Franchise Consultant. I came across Minuteman Press in Cranberry Twp and decided to purchase it. I knew how to run a company but knew nothing about the printing industry, so I did some research and worked with the local SBDC to better understand the industry and its future potential.” Over the past six years, Rich has continued to receive ongoing franchise support from Minuteman Press International. He explains, “Minuteman Press provides a great platform to run your business along with a diverse vendor base to meet just about any needs a customer may have. Their FLEX software is a great tool for managing day-to-day operations and my central facility work is about 35%-40% of my business because we have such great vendors in the Minuteman Press program. I can do more sales with less staff using the central facility model.” Advice for Others As for what advice he would give to other business owners, Rich says, “The best advice I can give is run your business – don’t let it run you. It’s important to not let the business run you as you need to let your employees run the day-to-day and you need to be thinking big picture. Know what you want to be today, tomorrow and the next day – the world does not stand still so if you slow down it will pass you by.” Rich adds, “Also, treat your employees well! Without your team, you cannot meet the challenges of being a successful business owner.” For more information on Minuteman Press in Cranberry Township, PA, visit their website: https://minuteman.com/us/locations/pa/cranberry-township/ Learn more about #1 rated Minuteman Press franchise opportunities and read Minuteman Press franchise reviews at https://minutemanpressfranchise.com Contact Details Minuteman Press International Chris Biscuiti +1 631-249-1370 cbiscuiti@mpihq.com Company Website https://minutemanpressfranchise.com
