Amidst claims of a cyberattack by the NoEscape ransomware group, auDA, the overseer of Australia's internet domain .au, has firmly refuted any allegations of a data breach, asserting that its systems remain uncompromised. On a different front, U.S. intelligence agencies sounded an alarm over the escalating threat posed by foreign intelligence agencies on the country’s private space sector. What do you get when ex-employees misappropriate sensitive information? A Tesla data breach that affected quite a lot of people. Read on for the top 10 highlights from the weekend.
01、The organization that manages Australia's internet domain .au, auDA, denied being impacted by a data breach as the NoEscape ransomware group claimed to have attacked the organization and stolen 15GB of sensitive data.
02、The FBI, the National Counterintelligence and Security Center, and the Air Force Office of Special Investigations issued a warning about Chinese and Russian intelligence entities targeting the private space sector in the U.S.
03、North Korea-linked threat group Kimsuky has launched a spear-phishing campaign targeting U.S. contractors involved in a joint military exercise with South Korea. Despite their attempts, the attackers did not manage to steal any sensitive military-related information.

08、The Cuba ransomware group targeted a U.S. critical infrastructure entity and an IT integrator in Latin America by using a combination of custom and pre-existing tools, including exploits for Microsoft's NetLogon protocol and Veeam Backup & Replication software.
09、The Israel-U.S. BIRD Cyber Program will invest $3.85 million in projects to enhance critical infrastructure security in both countries, focusing on sectors such as maritime, aviation, and industrial control systems.
10、Cybersecurity platform ProjectDiscovery raised $25 million in a Series A round led by CRV with participation from Point72, SignalFire, Rain Capital, Mango Capital, Accel, and Lightspeed.
