US-based software company Citrix has disclosed its ignorance over hackers accessing its internal network for six months between October 2018 and March 2019 through a suspected password spraying attack. Hackers were able to gain entry to various files containing Social Security numbers, financial data and names due to a lack of two-factor authentication. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) today announced it had charged an Illinois man with stealing more than $5 million from investors during his time as the chief investment officer at SunGard Capital.
