Two U.S. cyber agencies released guidance Tuesday on how federal grant managers should incorporate cybersecurity in their programs for critical infrastructure projects, as well as how potential recipients can take it into account. The Office of the National Cyber Director and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency publication — the “Playbook for Strengthening Cybersecurity in Federal Grant Programs for Critical Infrastructure” — recommends how agencies should weave cybersecurity into grant-making from the outset and gives them model technical language to use. The playbook also advises potential recipients on how to develop assessment and risk plans. https://lnkd.in/e8TjfN5V

Federal civilian agencies have a new list of cyber-related requirements to address after the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency on Tuesday issued guidance regarding the implementation of secure practices for cloud services. CISA’s Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 25-01 instructs agencies to identify all of its cloud instances and implement assessment tools, while also making sure that their cloud environments are aligned with the cyber agency’s Secure Cloud Business Applications (SCuBA) configuration baselines. CISA Director Jen Easterly said in a statement that the actions laid out in the directive are “an important step” toward reducing risk across the federal civilian enterprise, though threats loom in “every sector.” https://lnkd.in/ernT9kVZ

In what we can assure you is a new cybersecurity incident despite sounding incredibly similar to incidents of past notoriety: threat actors tied to a notorious ransomware and extortion group have exploited file-transfer software to carry out attacks. Clop has claimed responsibility for attacks tied to vulnerabilities in software made by Cleo, an Illinois-based IT company that sells various types of enterprise software. The vulnerabilities, which affected Cleo’s LexiCom, VLTrader, and Harmony products, have led to worries that sensitive data across various industries could be swiped by the group in a repeat of some of the most damaging security incidents of the past few years. https://lnkd.in/eDX6UR9V

Russia banned the cybersecurity company Recorded Future on Wednesday, labeling it an “undesirable” organization — much to its CEO’s delight. The company stands accused of collaborating with the Central Intelligence Agency, Ukraine and other countries. “They provide information and technical support for the propaganda campaign launched by the West against Russia,” Russia’s Office of Prosecutor General said in a notice translated by Google. “The organization participates in collecting and analyzing data on the actions of the Russian Armed Forces.” https://lnkd.in/eqDpiY8F

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency unveiled a detailed set of guidelines Wednesday to safeguard the mobile communications of high-value government targets in the wake of the ongoing Salt Typhoon telecom breach. The guide aims to help both political and federal leadership harden their communications and avoid any data interception by the Chinese-linked espionage group. As of earlier this month, government agencies were still grappling with the attack’s full scope, federal officials told reporters. Among the targets were officials from both presidential campaigns, including the phone of President-elect Donald Trump. https://lnkd.in/eYw-ht-3

Ukrainian national Mark Sokolovsky was sentenced Wednesday to five years in federal prison for his role in operating Raccoon Infostealer malware, which infiltrated millions of computers worldwide to steal personal data. According to court documents, Sokolovsky, 28, was integral to operations that allowed the leasing of Raccoon Infostealer for $200 per month, payable via cryptocurrency. Users predominantly deployed this malware through phishing schemes to extract data from unsuspecting victims. The stolen data included log-in credentials, financial information, and other personal records, often used for financial crimes or sold on cybercrime forums. https://lnkd.in/gMWb95pM

China’s national cyber incident response center accused the U.S. government of launching cyberattacks against two Chinese tech companies in a bid to steal trade secrets. In a notice Wednesday, the National Computer Network Emergency Response Technical Team/Coordination Center of China (CNCERT) said a suspected U.S. intelligence agency was behind the attacks, and that CNCERT had “handled” them, according to a Google translation. https://lnkd.in/gMK2DbAX
