Ridgewood NJ, according to the New Jersey Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Cell, throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, cyber threat actors have capitalized on global interest surrounding the virus to target users. Early in 2020, thousands of website domains related to COVID-19 were registered, and many of these websites were subsequently used to host malware and for other fraudulent activity. Phishing emails using COVID-19 lures have also been sent to users in an attempt to convince the recipient to divulge sensitive or financial information, or open malicious links or attachments. These same tactics continue to be employed, now with COVID-19 vaccine themes and lures. COVID-19 vaccine-themed phishing emails may include subject lines that make reference to vaccine registration, information about vaccine coverage, locations to receive the vaccine, ways to reserve a vaccine, and vaccine requirements. Links and attachments included in various phishing campaigns may employ brand spoofing and impersonate well-known and trusted entities, such as government agencies, healthcare providers, or pharmaceutical companies.

Washington DC, according to NJ Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness (NJOHSP) a top cybersecurity firm in the United States detailed on December 8 that it fell victim to a recent cyber attack likely linked to a foreign government. FireEye said it was hacked by “a highly sophisticated threat actor, one whose discipline, operational security, and techniques lead us to believe it was a state-sponsored attack.” The firm concluded the attackers were from a nation with “top-tier offensive capabilities” and tailored the hack using a variety of new techniques specifically to target FireEye. The company confirmed tools used to test the cybersecurity of its clients—called “Red Team” tools—were stolen in the hack; however, there is no evidence of their use, and FireEye continues to monitor the situation while developing 300 countermeasures for its customers. FireEye noted there was particular interest from the hackers in certain government customers.

Washington DC, The Federal Trade Commission today sued Facebook, alleging that the company is illegally maintaining its personal social networking monopoly through a years-long course of anticompetitive conduct. Following a lengthy investigation in cooperation with a coalition of attorneys general of 46 states, the District of Columbia, and Guam, the complaint alleges that Facebook has engaged in a systematic strategy—including its 2012 acquisition of up-and-coming rival Instagram, its 2014 acquisition of the mobile messaging app WhatsApp, and the imposition of anticompetitive conditions on software developers—to eliminate threats to its monopoly. This course of conduct harms competition, leaves consumers with few choices for personal social networking, and deprives advertisers of the benefits of competition.

Washington DC, The Department of Justice announced today that it filed a lawsuit against Facebook Inc. for discriminating against U.S. workers.
The lawsuit alleges that Facebook refused to recruit, consider, or hire qualified and available U.S. workers for over 2,600 positions that Facebook, instead, reserved for temporary visa holders it sponsored for permanent work authorization (or “green cards”) in connection with the permanent labor certification process (PERM). The positions that were the subject of Facebook’s alleged discrimination against U.S. workers offered an average salary of approximately $156,000. According to the lawsuit, and based on the department’s nearly two-year investigation, Facebook intentionally created a hiring system in which it denied qualified U.S. workers a fair opportunity to learn about and apply for jobs that Facebook instead sought to channel to temporary visa holders Facebook wanted to sponsor for green cards.
