Cyber ​​risk: electric vehicle charging stations
Cyber ​​risk: electric vehicle charging stations

Charging stations and applications for electric vehicles are often inadequately protected against security risks. Successful cyberattacks on such applications enable actions ranging from fraud to sabotage. With an expected market capitalization of $457 billion in 2023, the electric vehicle market is expected to nearly double by 2027 with expected sales of 16 million vehicles per year. To meet the growing need for charging stations and provide EV owners with a seamless experience, the number of applications for EV charging stations has increased exponentially. There are end-user apps for finding charging stations, payment apps…

DDoS flood attacks on video conferences 
B2B Cyber ​​Security ShortNews

While tools like Zoom, WebEx or Microsoft Teams have made business communication much easier during the pandemic, it also opens up a new gateway for cybercriminals for DDoS attacks, as flood attack protocols are used, according to Radware. Video conferencing systems work with the Real Time Protocol (RTP). RTP is based on the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), a protocol that offers neither guaranteed delivery of packets nor a mechanism for handling packets out of order. UDP is a connectionless protocol that uses datagrams embedded in IP packets to communicate without establishing a session between two…
