A week in security (March 05 – March 11)

Last week on Malwarebytes Labs, we paid homage to several women in tech, including some of our very own, on International Women’s Day and shared their stories.

We also looked into an adware posing as an Android app that claims to live stream the 2018 Winter Olympics, exposed scammers that go by the name GeeksHelp, who were caught red-handed (again) after their first unmasking two years before, and gave you the steps on how to break encryption.

Lastly, we spotlighted the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) in cybersecurity, the importance of having a solid and tested incident response framework, and the reality that Mac malware does exist and that they have evolved.

Other news

Stay safe, everyone!
