The goal of the index is simple: We combine on-chain data and real-world data to measure which countries are leading the world in grassroots crypto adoption. Grassroots crypto adoption isn’t about which countries have the highest raw transaction volumes — anyone could probably guess that the biggest, wealthiest countries are far ahead there. Instead, we want to highlight the countries where average, everyday people are embracing crypto the most. To do that, we’ve designed the Global Crypto Adoption Index to identify countries where the most people are putting the greatest share of their wealth into cryptocurrency.

From the report, “For years, the Finance industry has been a trailblazer in managing the risk posed by vendors, suppliers, and business partners. As we have also detailed in previous BitSight Insights reports2 over the last four years, this industry has maintained a strong security posture in comparison to others. Given that the Finance industry is a leader in managing third-party cyber risk, how secure is their supply chain, and where do weak links lie? Are the companies in their supply chain meeting the same security standards they hold for their own organization? These questions are relevant not only for Finance organizations, but for all organizations that need to reduce third-party cyber risk. To answer these questions, BitSight researchers looked at the security performance of more than 5,200 Legal, Technology, and Business Services global organizations whose security ratings are tracked and monitored by hundreds of Finance firms using the BitSight Security Rating platform. The organizations across these industries represent a set of critical vendors and business partners in Finance’s supply chain, consisting of: legal organizations, accounting and human resources firms, management consulting and outsourcing firms, and information technology and software providers.”

It’s harvest time (at least here in the United States), and as we prepare to reap the bounties of the land, so too have we seen attackers make good use of the exploits they’ve sown and infrastructure they’ve co-opted.

CopyKittens is a cyberespionage group that has been operating since at least 2013. In November 2015, ClearSky and Minerva Labs published1 the first public report exposing its activity. In March 2017, ClearSky published a second report2 exposing further incidents, some of which impacted the German Bundestag. In this report, Trend Micro and ClearSky expose a vast espionage apparatus spanning the entire time the group has been active. It includes recent incidents as well as older ones that have not been publicly reported; new malware; exploitation, delivery and command and control infrastructure; and the group’s modus operandi. We dubbed this activity Operation Wilted Tulip

From the paper, “In March 2017, the expectation of privacy while surfing the internet disappeared in the United States. Congress voted to eliminate the broadband privacy rules that required internet service providers (ISPs) to get explicit consent from consumers before selling or sharing web browsing data and other private information to third parties. With no rules in place to protect personal or corporate web browsing data, there are a few proactive steps to take to help safeguard this information.”
