While FIDO2 is “phishing-resistant” to credential stealing, it was also designed with the intent to further protect against session hijacking and man-in-the-middle (MiTM) attacks. Silverfort suggests that most applications do not protect the session tokens created after FIDO authentication is successful and that many identity providers are still vulnerable to MiTM and session hijacking attack types.
CISA recently updated its Public Safety Communications and Cyber Resiliency Toolkit with nine additional resources including an interactive graphic. The toolkit is designed to assist public safety agencies and others responsible for communications networks by providing the tools necessary to evaluate current resiliency capabilities.

Members are strongly encouraged to incorporate these considerations into ransomware response plans and discuss them with leadership BEFORE you experience a ransomware incident.
On Friday, CISA, the FBI, and MS-ISAC released a joint Cybersecurity Advisory (CSA): “#StopRansomware: Black Basta” which provides cybersecurity defenders tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) and indicators of compromise (IOCs) used by known Black Basta ransomware affiliates.
