Orchestrating the Chaos: Protecting Wireless Networks from Cyber Attacks

From early 2022 through late 2024, a group of threat actors publicly known as APT28 exploited known vulnerabilities, such as CVE-2022-38028, to remotely and wirelessly access sensitive information from a targeted company network. This attack did not require any hardware to be placed in the vicinity of the targeted company's network as the attackers were able to execute remotely from thousands of miles away. With the ubiquity of Wi-Fi, cellular networks, and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, the attack surface of communications-related vulnerabilities that can compromise data is extremely large and constantly expanding. In the latest podcast from the Carnegie Mellon University Software Engineering Institute (SEI) Joseph McIlvenny, a senior research scientist , and Michael Winter, vulnerability analysis technical manager, both with the SEI's CERT Division, discuss common radio frequency (RF) attacks and investigate how software and cybersecurity play key roles in preventing and mitigating these exploitations.
