WEBSTER GROVES, Missouri ( KMOV ) -- The owners of Balkan Treat Box in Webster Groves were preparing for what should have been their biggest week in over a year. They reopened indoor dining at their restaurant for the first time since March 2020 and expected it to be busy, instead it's been nearly dead.
Loryn and Edo Nalic say a hacker got into their Balkan Treat Box Instagram account and it has taken a major hit on business.
"Coming back from COVID and opening our doors and then having to put all of that aside again because we now we can't reach our customers," Loryn said. "Yeah, it sucks."

Details will not emerge until after the vulnerabilities are patched. A Microsoft spokesperson said: "Vulnerabilities reported as part of the Pwn2Own contest are disclosed responsibly and confidentially.

It's unlikely — but possible — that right now, someone, somewhere, is trying to hack the components in a pacemaker from hundreds of miles away.
Hacking a pacemaker is an extreme example, but Ning Zhang uses it to emphasize the very real threat posed by vulnerabilities in the interactions between the cyber and physical worlds. And Zhang says these vulnerabilities extend beyond medical equipment to objects such as delivery drones and much more.
Zhang is an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science & Engineering in the McKelvey School of Engineering. He joined the faculty in 2018 after 11 years at Raytheon, a defense contractor, where he worked to protect critical network and cyber-physical infrastructures.

Scientists harness chaos to protect devices from hackers
Researchers have found a way to use chaos to help develop digital fingerprints for electronic devices that may be unique enough to foil even the most sophisticated hackers.
“In our system, chaos is very, very good,” said Daniel Gauthier , senior author of the study and professor of physics at The Ohio State University .
The researchers created a new version of an emerging technology called physically unclonable functions , or PUFs, that are built into computer chips.
Hackers try to extort University of Colorado in cyberattack - ABC News
BOULDER, Colo. -- Hackers are trying to extort the University of Colorado after a cyberattack that potentially compromised personal information from more than 310,000 files, including student data, medical information and several Social Security numbers, university officials said Friday.
The attackers have posted small amounts of data on the internet and are threatening to post more if they are not paid, The Boulder Daily Camera reported.
"The university does not intend to do so, following guidance from the FBI," a university news release said. "Paying would not ensure that data is not posted, now or in the future, or that there would not be additional demands."

Zero-Day Exploit Earns Zoom Hackers $200K | PCMag
A pair of Dutch hackers have secured $200,000 in reward money after discovering and demonstrating a zero-day flaw in Zoom's videoconferencing software .
As Malwarebytes reports , the flaw was used during the latest Pwn2Own event, which is organized as a challenge to hackers by the Zero Day Initiative. Companies volunteer their software and services for participants to hack, and offer rewards for doing so in return. Everyone wins at Pwn2Own—hackers earn money legally for their skills, and developers can then make their software more secure before the exploit becomes public knowledge.
