Like every Friday, since Apolo Cybersecurity rWe bring together the most relevant news of the week in the digital world. Cyberattacks, leaks and advances in artificial intelligence mark a landscape where cybersecurity is consolidated as the fundamental axis of trust and business resilience.
The International Automobile Federation (FIA) has confirmed an intrusion that compromised sensitive information from thousands of drivers. The leaked data includes identity documents, licenses and access credentials. The attack affects the digital infrastructure that manages Formula 1's standings and records. The incident reveals the need to reinforce the security of critical platforms in global sports environments.
The Complutense University of Madrid has detected a phishing campaign aimed at its students using false emails. The attackers used a domain similar to the official one to demand fraudulent payments of €1,500. The school's rapid response limited the spread of the attack, although it highlights the increase in threats in the education sector. Sender awareness and verification are still key to avoiding this type of fraud.
Former NBA player Shaquille O'Neal was the indirect victim of a cyberattack on the transportation company that managed his customized Range Rover. The criminals accessed the logistics systems and falsely authorized the transfer of the vehicle, which was stolen without a trace. The case reflects how digital attacks can have tangible consequences, combining social engineering techniques and the manipulation of connected systems.
OpenAI's new tool, ChatGPT Atlas, promises to transform web browsing using artificial intelligence. However, experts warn that its ability to execute commands automatically could make it an ideal target for phishing attacks and prompt manipulation. Unsupervised automation increases the risks of malicious code execution and data theft. A reminder that innovation in AI must be accompanied by strong cybersecurity management and access control.
The operator LG Uplus has confirmed a serious security breach that affected thousands of customers and employees. The attackers managed to access the corporate intranet and steal sensitive information, taking advantage of vulnerabilities detected months earlier. Authorities are investigating possible links with organized groups, while the incident raises concerns about the digital resilience of critical infrastructures in South Korea.
Prevention remains the most effective defense. At Apolo Cybersecurity, we help organizations assess vulnerabilities, implement intelligent defenses and improve their resilience to increasingly sophisticated threats.
