BOSTON (PRWEB)
July 19, 2019

Cybereason, creators of the leading Cyber Defense Platform, today announced that its CEO and Co-founder Lior Div today gave a keynote address at SoftBank World at the Prince Park Tower in Tokyo.

Div’s keynote address focused on Cybereason’s ‘Operation Soft Cell,’ an ongoing investigation into a massive, advanced espionage campaign targeting nearly a dozen global telecommunications providers. Cybereason’s nearly year-long investigation discovered commercial, privately owned critical infrastructure companies are tools being used in state-sponsored espionage and cyber war.

“The operation against cellular providers is at a massive scale. This isn’t a smash and grab campaign to steal money or social security numbers. These hackers have very specific motives and are running a highly targeted, persistent operation to own the networks and track a very targeted list of high-profile individuals on different continents,” said Div.

The state-sponsored adversaries have stolen personally identifiable information such as billing data, call detail records and credentials. The damage to the targeted individuals can go all the way to fully tracking of locations, meetings and texts. Hundreds of gigabytes of call data records were stolen each time the hackers exfiltrated data.
