For more information, visit Carrier's security advisories: https://www.corporate.carrier.com/product-security/advisories-resources/ CISA recommends users take defensive measures to minimize the risk of exploitation of these vulnerabilities, such as: Minimize network exposure for all control system devices and/or systems, ensuring they are not accessible from the internet. Locate control system networks and remote devices behind firewalls and isolating them from business networks. When remote access is required, use more secure methods, such as Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), recognizing VPNs may have vulnerabilities and should be updated to the most current version available. Also recognize VPN is only as secure as the connected devices. CISA reminds organizations to perform proper impact analysis and risk assessment prior to deploying defensive measures. CISA also provides a section for control systems security recommended practices on the ICS webpage on cisa.gov/ics. Several CISA products detailing cyber defense best practices are available for reading and download, including Improving Industrial Control Systems Cybersecurity with Defense-in-Depth Strategies. CISA encourages organizations to implement recommended cybersecurity strategies for proactive defense of ICS assets. Additional mitigation guidance and recommended practices are publicly available on the ICS webpage at cisa.gov/ics in the technical information paper, ICS-TIP-12-146-01B--Targeted Cyber Intrusion Detection and Mitigation Strategies. Organizations observing suspected malicious activity should follow established internal procedures and report findings to CISA for tracking and correlation against other incidents. CISA also recommends users take the following measures to protect themselves from social engineering attacks: Do not click web links or open attachments in unsolicited email messages. Refer to Recognizing and Avoiding Email Scams for more information on avoiding email scams. Refer to Avoiding Social Engineering and Phishing Attacks for more information on social engineering attacks.

Social media bans might steer kids into riskier corners of the internet

Help Net Security

Governments are increasingly banning social media access for children under 16 to protect their safety online. Australia was the first to implement such a ban, prompting discussions in other countries about similar measures. However, these restrictions raise significant concerns about privacy, as enforcing age checks may require collecting more personal data from minors. Critics argue that this could inadvertently expose children to riskier areas of the internet, counteracting the intended safety benefits. As policymakers weigh these decisions, the balance between privacy and protection remains a contentious issue for parents, lawmakers, and tech companies alike.

US nationals sentenced for aiding North Korea’s tech worker scheme

CyberScoop

Kejia Wang and Zhenxing Wang, two U.S. nationals, have been sentenced for their roles in a scheme that aided North Korean operatives in securing jobs with over 100 American companies. They created shell companies and operated laptop farms to facilitate this process, which allowed North Korean workers to bypass U.S. employment regulations. The actions of the Wangs not only undermined U.S. labor laws but also raised national security concerns by potentially enabling North Korea to access sensitive technologies and information. This case illustrates the risks of foreign interference in U.S. job markets and highlights the importance of vigilance in monitoring employment practices to protect against such schemes.
