2). THREAT INTEL: BANKING TROJAN – Grandoreiro resurfaces despite a Law Enforcement
Takedown less than six months ago according to the IBM X-FORCE TeamX-Force Researchers identified the Grandoreiro Banking Trojan back in March this year (2024) announcing its unwelcome return as a malware-as-a-service tool only now its armed with better encryption and domain name generation.

3). VPN – Understanding The Virtual Private Network (VPN) A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is an essential technology for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) as it enables secure and private communication over a public network. By encrypting data and hiding the user’s IP address, VPNs establish a secure connection between the employees’ devices and the company’s network, ensuring the privacy and security of sensitive information. E.g. A small accounting firm with employees working remotely can use a VPN to securely access client financial data without compromising confidentiality.
