In the past 24 hours, funding website GiveSendGo has reported that they’ve been the victim of a DDOS attack, in response to the politically charged debate about funding for vaccine skeptics. The GiveSendGo DDOS is the latest in a long line of political cyberattacks that have relied on the DDOS mechanism as a form of political activism. There were millions of these attacks in 2021 alone.
A digital declutter helps you organize your life and has the added bonus of reducing your vulnerability to common threats. But knowing where to begin can be hard – most of us leave a larger digital footprint than we realize. We’ve created a checklist to help you clear away the clutter and reap the rewards of a clean digital state.
In virtually every industry, as well as in life in general, there is information presented as fact that very often is not based on actual truth or science. Some myths need to be dispelled not just because they are erroneous, but because, in the case of cybersecurity, can pose serious threats to the security of an organization, its people and its data.
First-generation security solutions for cloud-native applications have been failing because they apply a legacy mindset where the focus is on vulnerability scanning instead of a holistic approach to threat detection, threat prevention, and remediation. Given that the attack surface of modern applications is much larger than in traditional apps, security teams are struggling to keep up and we’ve seen a spike in breaches.
Since we founded CrowdStrike, one of the things I’m proudest of is our collective ability to work with customers to lead the industry forward. Leadership is more than just being the loudest voice or making wild marketing claims. It’s about listening and working with customers to help them solve their hardest problems to achieve a common goal: stopping breaches.

This week we announced the general availability of CrowdStrike’s newest innovation, Falcon XDR, and I couldn’t be more excited. Using our same single, lightweight agent architecture, Falcon XDR enables security teams to bring in third-party data sources for a fully unified solution to rapidly and efficiently hunt and eliminate threats across multiple security domains.
On January 30, 2022, , the Argo CD team was contacted by researchers at Apiiro regarding a vulnerability they had discovered in the popular continuous delivery platform that could allow bad actors to steal sensitive information from deployments. The Argo CD team was able to quickly develop fixes for all three of their currently supported releases and publish them to their users within 48 hours.
A data exfiltration attack involves the unauthorized transfer of sensitive data, such as personal data and intellectual property, out of a target system and into a separate location. These transfers could either occur internally, through insider threats, or externally, through remote Command and Control servers. Every cyberattack with a data theft objective could be classified as a data exfiltration attack.
