Cybersecurity Shorts: Google’s 2FA Mandate, Peloton’s Leaky API, and Password Management App Malware

In this episode of the Futurum Cybersecurity Shorts series, I’m again joined by my colleague and fellow analyst, Fred McClimans for a conversation on cybersecurity issues in six quick vignettes. Today, we covered:

• Google’s rollout of mandatory 2FA
• The targeting of Passwordstate, an Australian-based enterprise password management app, by hackers
• The discovery of over 40 apps with more than 100 million installs between the found leaking API keys
• Peloton’s leaky API and what that means for user data privacy
• The massive DDoS attack targeting Belgian ISP Belnet, and the impact of that attack on the government, public, science, and education agencies, including the Belgium Parliament and some law enforcement agencies.
