In recent weeks, hackers have successfully exploited vulnerabilities in widely used software and services, including a JavaScript library to steal bitcoin, a US Postal Service API that exposed over 60 million users' data, and Small Office and Home Office (SOHO) routers, which are now being standardized for security. The German government has published draft rules to secure SOHO routers after a 2016 incident where nearly a million routers were hijacked. In the US, prosecutors have indicted eight individuals from Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan for running a cybercrime network that falsified billions of website visits. Additionally, Marriott's Starwood reservations database was breached, resulting in the theft of 500 million guests' personal information. Experts emphasize the importance of practicing deep security testing, using password managers, and implementing best practices to prevent similar breaches.
