National Cyber Security Awareness Month Ends With Zero Days, Ransomware, and a Bit of Hope | Fortinet Blog

It’s Friday night, tomorrow is Halloween, Daylight Saving Time ends this weekend, and it’s the end of National Cyber Security Awareness Month. This week has seen big breaches, teenagers arrested for hacking TalkTalk, escalating international cyber tensions, and what appears to be even more new vulnerabilities and zero-days announced than usual. 
 
However, it isn’t all doom and gloom, shorter colder days, reduxes of Cold War rhetoric with some cyber buzzwords woven in, and kids running afoul of the law this week. We saw some of the biggest rivals in the security industry come together to do some serious collaborative research, our own researchers at FortiGuard Labs found a boatload of vulnerabilities and promptly implemented protections, Cyber Security Awareness Month actually started some great conversations, and FortiGuard researchers have a present for you. Yes, a present. And we all do get an extra hour of sleep this weekend, so there’s definitely a silver lining in there somewhere.
