Among the range of data leak sites monitored by JUMPSEC, our attention has been drawn to a recent variant called “UnSafeLeaks”, due to its distinctively malicious and personalised approach, setting it apart from typical leak sites that focus primarily on explicit financial extortion. Perhaps more remarkably, a number of targeted organisations also appear to have previously been compromised by closely affiliated groups, suggesting the potential re-extortion of victim organisations.

To cope with increasingly costly pay-outs, providers are redefining the terms of cyber insurance to reduce their exposure. The implications could spell myriad changes for the cyber security industry. Whatever the outcome, it’s time for organisations to re-evaluate whether their policy will cover them against the attacks they are most susceptible to.

Deploying machine learning models in the cyber security industry is complicated - especially with budget and technology limitations. Especially when it comes to anomaly detection, there's been much debate over privacy, balance, budget, robustness, cloud security and reliable implementation. For cyber security companies using machine learning technologies, ensuring clients' safety with trustworthy artificial intelligence (AI) must always be the primary objective.
