Hacker breached 63 universities and government agencies | Computerworld
A Russian-speaking and notorious financially-motivated hacker known as Rasputin has been at it again, hacking into universities and government agencies this time, before attempting to sell the stolen data on the dark web.According to the security company Recorded Future, whoch has been tracking the cybercriminals breaches, Rasputins most recent victims include 63 prominent universities and federal, state, and local U.S. government agencies. The security firm has been following Rasputins activity since late 2016 when the hacker reportedly breached the U.S. Electoral Assistance Commission and then sold EAC access credentials.Recorded Future claims that Rasputins victims are intentional targets of choice based on the organizations perceived investment in security controls and the respective compromised data value. Additionally, these databases are likely to contain significant quantities of users and potentially associated personally identifiable information (PII).
