Lieutenant Governor announces select committee to lower cybersecurity threats statewide
Lt. Gov. Hosemann estimates $100 million stolen from Mississippians annually in cyber crimes
BILOXI, Miss. (WLOX) — Lieutenant Governor Delbert Hosemann announced the creation of a cybersecurity select committee a few weeks ago.
He says he believes more than $100 million a year is being stolen from Mississippi residents and businesses. That includes hospitals, community colleges and high schools.
Hosemann told WLOX that is where the committee comes into play.
“Now, for that, we’ve set up this group, and we want to talk about looking at a Department of Homeland Security, that we actually have prosecution for these people, that we have information for people, where do you go when this happens to you,” Hosemann said. “We have individuals that are working on who’s trying to penetrate the state assets or your home, for example. So it’s a whole mixed bag of things that include information, prosecution, and hopefully prevention.”
State Senators Scott DeLano and Jeremy England are part of this select committee.

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a set of trojanized npm packages that masquerade as working calendar and streak utilities but are engineered to stealthily deliver an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered Linux implant dubbed RedC2 4.0. "When the module loads, it locates the bundled binary, marks it executable, and launches it as a detached background process," TrendAI, Trend Micro's enterprise cybersecurity business, said in a report published Thursday. "No install hook function call is needed; a single import anywhere in the dependency graph, even a transitive one, is enough to execute the payload." The list of identified packages is below - - streak-metrics-math@1.0.0,1.0.1 - kit-map-vim@1.0.0 - streak-map-cache@1.0.0 - streak-map-kit@1.0.0 - map-streak-kit@1.0.0 - streak-cache-map@1.0.0 - streak-calc-metrics@1.0.0 - streak-calc-math@1.0.0 - streak-math-abz@1.0.0 - streak-metricsaz@1.0.0 - streak-math-metrics@1.0.0 - streak-metricazbd@1.0.0 - streak-metricsazb@1.0.0 - streak-kit-map@1.0.0 What's notable about these packages is that they are functional and offer the promised functionality. But beneath that garb of date utilities is code designed to drop a Linux backdoor by framing it as a native math accelerator. The name of the file varies across the packages: math-core.bin, math-calc.bin, calc-math.dat, calc-cache.bin, calc.bin, calc-mapping.bin. It's located either directly within the "dist/" or under "dist/internal/,", but what it contains is the same: the RedShell Linux beacon for RedC2 4.0 that communicates with a remote Windows or Linux server to facilitate post-exploitation activities on the compromised host. "Delivery is handled by the package entry file, dist/index.mjs, which acts as a trojan loader," security researcher Aliakbar Zahravi said. "It re-exports the date helpers and launches the bundled implant as soon as the module loads, with no install hook and no exported function required." RedC2 4.0, marketed on cybercrime forums as a cross-platform toolkit for Windows, macOS, and Linux, offers surveillance, credential theft, payload loading, and mass-operation capabilities. The version was advertised by a threat actor named "MarlboroMan" on

Suisun City is continuing its recovery from a cybersecurity incident that shut down the city’s information technology network earlier this month, with officials now assessing whether any personal information was affected. So far, the city said Friday that it has found nothing indicating personal data was impacted. The investigation and review of city systems remain ongoing, however. And the city announced that the water counter at City Hall remains the only city service currently open to the public and workers there are about to have some company. Residents seeking police assistance will have a temporary new location next week. The Police Department lobby will close because of a previously planned roof renovation, and a police representative will be stationed at the City Hall water counter from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. The representative will assist residents with ticket sign-offs, vehicle releases, speaking with an officer and general assistance. The city said additional updates are expected next week. The Planning, Building, Housing, Finance, Human Resources and Public Works departments remain closed to the public, along with the City Manager’s Office and administration. Public safety services remain active despite the ongoing disruption. Suisun City police and fire personnel continue to respond to calls for service, while 911 and non-emergency calls continue to be handled through the Solano County dispatch center. The latest announcement comes two full weeks after the cybersecurity incident was detected the morning of Aug. 7, when malicious software compromised city IT systems. The city shut down its network to contain the incident and preserve evidence for the investigation and declared a state of emergency Aug. 8. The city has been working with federal, state and regional agencies, including the FBI, Department of Homeland Security and California Office of Emergency Services, as it investigates the incident, maintains essential

SAN ANTONIO — There wasn’t much going on at the University of Texas at San Antonio's main campus on Wednesday despite it being the first day of school. A cybersecurity breach delayed the first day of classes and pushed them to Monday, Aug. 24. Students and teachers had to navigate not having access to their email and UTSA account. “It's been hard. I'm kind of someone who leaves stuff until the last minute, and so I was trying to get my permit and just look at my classes, look at my syllabus, and I just couldn’t,” Alexandria Melendez, a UTSA student, said. “Everything was completely shut off.” UTSA journalism student Natalia Edwards talked about how difficult it was for her to get in contact with UTSA via phone. “Phones aren't working. I'm a military student, so I tried to reach out to make sure all my funds went through, make sure I have my money on the 31st, but can't call them,” Edwards said Wednesday morning. “And then if I try to go on campus, I don't know if they could even get into it because the systems are down.” UTSA President Taylor Eighmy released a statement on the university's website. “The university responded to attempted unauthorized activity of technology systems,” Eighmy said. “Out of an abundance of caution, we proactively took systems and services offline to evaluate our technology environment and reinforce safeguards before bringing services back online.” Even though UTSA's website has a detailed timeline of the events, students have said it’s frustrating learning about new information via social media. As of Thursday, staff received their UTSA accounts, and students have been receiving them in a staggered order. A professor told Spectrum News that the IT team at UTSA has done an exceptional job of getting everyone up

Officials are investigating a cybersecurity incident at Virginia Peninsula Regional Jail. A “criminal cybersecurity event” was discovered at the Williamsburg facility around July 14, according to a release, when jail authorities became aware of disruptions to the computer systems. The jail is at 9320 Merrimac Trail. Outside cybersecurity experts were immediately called in and asked to investigate, according to VPRJ. The incident “did not disrupt the safety or security of VPRJ’s facilities. Our systems are currently secure, and our operations have returned to normal.” Due to the nature of the event, it’s possible that personal information — including addresses, driver’s license numbers and Social Security numbers — might have been accessed or acquired by the perpetrators. “Basic health information the jail uses to maintain the safety of our facilities for our inmates may also have been impacted,” the jail noted. This includes vaccination status, certain health conditions or the need for health accommodations. In response to the incident, the jail is making complimentary identity monitoring available for those who would like to enroll. The jail is working with state and federal law enforcement, including the FBI’s Cyber Crimes Division, the Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and the Cyber Fusion Center of the Virginia State Police. As a result of the incident, VPRJ implemented new cybersecurity safeguards, the jail said. For more information, visit the VPRJ website.

The most useful thing said about cybersecurity this week came from Abhijit Dubey, the global CEO of NTT DATA, who told CNBC that “the frontier AI effectively has changed the cybersecurity equation” because attacks are now exponentially more sophisticated, the surface area has grown, and everything is happening at machine speed. His conclusion follows directly: “when you have attacks that are operating on machine speed, you cannot have defense. That is human speed.” Dubey announced an expanded partnership with Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ:PANW | PANW Price Prediction) covering both AI for security and security for AI. The interesting question for investors is which US-listed vendors are positioned for the shift he describes. The money is quietly moving toward whoever can govern autonomous agents, and away from whoever built a business selling vulnerability detection and patching. That reframes the sector from a cost center to a prerequisite for AI adoption. Why Detection And Patching Is the Losing Side Dubey put the legacy problem this way: “Most cybersecurity postures and enterprises effectively are vulnerability detection oriented” at a moment when attackers are exploitation-driven. Nikesh Arora made the same point on PANW’s June earnings call, saying that frontier models can weaponize a vulnerability “in mere minutes,” whereas it used to take months. Jay Chaudhry at Zscaler told investors that “you will never be done patching” and that hiding applications and eliminating lateral movement matters more than trying to close every hole. That is the same argument, phrased architecturally. Vendors whose growth came from selling scanners, dashboards, and remediation queues find themselves in an awkward spot. Their pitch assumes a human has time to look at the alert. The vendors positioned for what comes next sell in-line enforcement, identity, and platform-level context. Palo Alto Networks Is the Named Partner for a Reason PANW’s most

CISA issues guidance for agencies to improve cybersecurity data logging CISA said agencies will be able to achieve priority logging capabilities that support continuous event monitoring, threat hunting, incident response and more. Agencies are getting some help to improve how they log cybersecurity data. A new logging architecture from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, the Office of Management and Budget and the Chief Information Security Officer Council aims to assist agencies in taking a practical, risk-based, prioritized logging approach that improves agency network monitoring. The guidance, released yesterday, helps agencies implement the changes OMB outlined in a May memo. CISA said agencies will be able to achieve priority logging capabilities that support continuous event monitoring, threat hunting, incident response and forensics. Through this guidance, agencies will be able to update their enterprise logging strategies by applying CISA's operational checklists. CISA said it will continually update the guidance as cybersecurity threats and agency capabilities evolve.

Arbitrator Margaret Donaghy ruled Wednesday in favor of RDA employees represented by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees. The union filed a grievance when USDA ended teleworking and remote work agreements without bargaining in April 2025. Donaghy ordered USDA to restore the telework and remote work arrangements and make the employees whole by paying any travel expenses, compensation or credit for additional hours worked. Suzanne Summerlin, the attorney representing the employees, said this is the fifth arbitration award won by employees in recent months, with similar awards issued at the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Forest Service, IRS and Social Security Administration.

Maybe you've heard about this little video game coming out soon called Grand Theft Auto VI. Well, while most people are waiting to get their hands on it, one enterprising group, CyberLeek, claims to have a copy and has been posting images and videos from it, prompting Rockstar Games to file copyright takedowns to stem the flow. The group is also asking folks to buy their memecoin, supposedly to fight anti-consumerism in games, while critics note they probably hacked a dev build and just want a payout. Depending on how this plays out, we might be watching the birth of another hacking group. Speaking of hacks, the FBI is warning infrastructure companies that hackers targeting water systems across the United States are likely using AI to streamline their operations. So if you’ve been wondering when AI is going to make security nightmares in the real world worse, guess what: It’s already happening. In other news, we covered a report from researchers at Incogni that examines the privacy policies and data retention practices of 13 major AI companies and the chatbots they offer. From names like ChatGPT and Gemini to Meta AI, Perplexity, and even Grok, the report identifies which chatbots are the most privacy-friendly and transparent in their practices and which are the worst offenders. We also checked out a privacy-focused AI tool that reveals where popular chatbots get your data in the first place. It's worth trying out yourself. Finally, if you’ve ever wondered what retailers, both online and brick-and-mortar, do with your personal data once you give it to them to make a purchase, we looked into it. You have to hand over some information to make a purchase, of course, but to some of those companies, the data they get from you is way more valuable than

Federal agencies work hard to secure their online presence, but some website compromises are being uncovered through an unlikely source. We'll dig into what those discoveries reveal about the challenge of keeping track of sprawling government web infrastructure. Interview transcript Eric White So with an emphasis on NSFW, this is a vulnerability pertaining to .edu and .gov domains that you seem to have discovered that there’s a little bit of it was something that wasn’t necessarily they had on their radar, but it seems as if OnlyFans takedowns are helping .gov and .edu domains protect themselves a little more. Why don’t we just start from the beginning on what exactly you were looking for and how you found out about this? Greg Pollock Sure, I was conducting a kind of routine investigation of a website that had other indicators of compromise. And as part of that process, I go to Google, I just search across that site to see what’s going on with this thing. At the bottom of that page, at the bottom the search results, I see a little notice that I had never seen before, which said some results have been omitted because of DMCA notices against the content. So I click through and there I see a DMCA takedown notice from clearly an adult content creator, sent to mostly adult content piracy sites, but also this government domain that I was looking at. I thought, well, that’s pretty weird. What’s going on there? And so pulling on that thread led me to discover how this is happening across lots of domains and how those DMCA copyright notices can be a pretty effective way to look for domains that are somehow advertising search results they don’t mean to. Eric White And when you say they are advertising,

CrowdStrike is expanding the reach of its Project QuiltWorks cyberdefense alliance. Just four months after launching the initiative for large enterprises, the cybersecurity vendor wants to reach small and midsized businesses through distributors, managed service providers and other channel firms. Project QuiltWorks’s launch partners included Accenture, EY, IBM, Kroll and OpenAI. The aim was to integrate CrowdStrike’s AI-driven vulnerability discovery capabilities with systems integration expertise and input from LLM labs OpenAI and Anthropic to deploy enterprise-grade protection. In early August, the company corralled Arrow Electronics, Pax8, TD Synnex and several other channel firms to mobilize the midmarket push. The move comes amid a wave of interest in SMB opportunities. Earlier this year, Accenture rolled out a business unit focused on midmarket organizations to compete with smaller MSPs. CrowdStrike and other large security vendors have tailored cyber management platforms for smaller enterprises, leaning on partners to reach customers they can’t efficiently serve on their own. For CrowdStrike, the calculation comes down largely to reaching more organizations and capitalizing on the specialized services its partners provide. “The core of what we’re trying to unlock here is scale,” Dan Danielli, CrowdStrike VP of scale partnerships, told Channel Dive. “We can’t be in every single conversation in every corner of the globe.” Partners have rapport and opportunities with SMBs that CrowdStrike wants to tap as those organizations adopt AI. “What we also understood was that we needed to put the partner at the forefront of the conversation because they were having multiple touchpoints with customers that oftentimes went way beyond security,” Danielli said. Platform support CrowdStrike’s Falcon platform provides the common technology layer underneath QuiltWorks. The cloud-native security platform covers endpoints and cloud workloads, identity and data. Within QuiltWorks, partners use Falcon and their own services to assess customers’ security posture, identify and prioritize

If not renewed, CISA 2015 protections end in the US on September 30. This article appears in the September issue of Global Finance Magazine. Companies that share cybersecurity information with their peers have until Sept. 30, 2026, before the limited liability granted by the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2015 runs out, exposing them to potential regulatory scrutiny and penalties. Under the Act, non-federal entities may share anonymized cyberattack and response information with other non-federal entities and the federal government via the Automated Indicator Sharing (AIS) program operated by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA). In July, 23 industry associations that represented the financial services, energy, technology, transportation, healthcare, and retail sectors wrote to Speaker of the House Michael Johnson (R-LA) requesting an extension to the Act since it is “a foundational component of the nation’s cybersecurity.” However, some view AIS as a relic of an earlier era of cyberdefense that provides machine-readable cyber threat indicators and defensive measures against malicious IP addresses, file hashes associated with malware distribution, and known malicious web links. “It was a failure from the get-go, and it accomplishes nothing,” Milton Mueller, a professor of cybersecurity policy at Georgia Institute of Technology’s Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter School of Public Policy, told Global Finance. “No one will notice when it’s gone.” A web post by Mueller earlier this year cited a DHS Office of Inspector General (OIG) report stating that non-federal participants using AIS fell to fewer than 90 in 2024 from a high of 304 in late 2022. The report also noted that alert volume on the platform dropped 93% between 2020 and 2022. Though there was a surge in alerts, to 10 million from 1 million, the OIG found that 89% of the data came from a single

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become one of this decade's defining technologies. From healthcare and finance to manufacturing and education, organizations increasingly rely on AI to automate repetitive tasks, uncover patterns hidden within large datasets, and support faster decision-making. Cybersecurity has experienced a similar transformation. While attackers employ AI to automate cyberattacks and accelerate vulnerability discovery, defenders are adopting AI to improve threat detection and enhance incident response. Security Operations Centers (SOCs) receive a high volume of alerts from endpoints, cloud workloads, network devices, identity providers, and business applications. Although SIEM and XDR platforms provide visibility into these environments, analysts often spend considerable time correlating alerts, searching documentation, and determining the next investigative steps. AI offers a practical way to augment analysts by providing contextual explanations, summarizing findings, and recommending remediation actions, rather than replacing human expertise. Challenges facing modern SOCs Modern SOCs are expected to detect and respond to sophisticated threats while processing millions of security events every day. High alert volumes contribute to analyst fatigue and increase the likelihood that critical events are overlooked. Investigations frequently require switching between dashboards, documentation, vulnerability databases, and threat intelligence feeds before a complete picture emerges. As infrastructures become increasingly distributed across on-premises and cloud environments, maintaining consistent situational awareness becomes more difficult. AI-assisted workflows help address these challenges by reducing repetitive analysis, adding context, and accelerating investigative decision-making. Wazuh and artificial intelligence for enhanced SOC workflows Wazuh promotes flexible AI adoption through the Wazuh AI Analyst available on the Wazuh Cloud and integrations with third-party AI providers. Organizations can leverage the Wazuh AI Analyst capability on the Wazuh Cloud for guidance on their environment's security posture.

Dive Brief: - Palo Alto Networks and NTT Data strengthened an existing partnership with a strategic pact that aims to generate $1 billion in business over the next three years, the two companies said Tuesday. The strategic alliance spans enterprise security operations center modernization, AI governance, cloud resilience, firewall improvements and zero-trust architecture, per the announcement. - NTT Data will bring more than 2,000 Palo Alto Networks certified professionals and a network of more than 20 cyber defense centers to the joint effort. Palo Alto Networks’ Unit 42 threat intelligence team and an unspecified number of the forward deployed engineers will work alongside the global systems integrator to deliver managed security services, according to the announcement. - The alliance is Palo Alto Networks’ largest with a GSI to date, Simone Gammeri, chief partnerships officer at Palo Alto Networks, said in an email. “By aligning joint engineering investments, operational delivery and early product access, the agreement transforms a standard vendor-integrator dynamic into a co-led growth engine designed to secure complex global enterprises.” Dive Insight: Palo Alto Networks remains intent on growing its formidable channel presence. The company refreshed its partner program in February with a focus on simplifying deal processes, boosting development funding and incentivizing outcomes as well as sales. The strategic alliance is in Palo Alto Networks’ enterprise wheelhouse, which is large organizations that retain GSIs to manage big-budget modernization projects. Accenture, Cognizant, Deloitte and HCLTech are among the company’s other major GSI partners. Palo Alto Networks’ broader strategy includes a significant midmarket expansion to deploy its security platform and products to small and midsize businesses. SMBs have been on the company’s agenda for the last year. “Palo Alto Network smells upmarket because, historically, that's where we have been operating,” Gammeri told Channel Dive in March, just seven months after
