Hackers launched a series of sophisticated cyberattacks targeting the information systems of major Wall Street money managers. Prominent financial institutions, including Citadel, Two Sigma Investments, Point72 Asset Management, and several private equity firms, were targeted in the assault. The cybercriminals utilized phone-based social engineering tactics, attempting to trick employees into granting system access and handing over sensitive information. Financial institutions note that unauthorized access attempts remain a daily challenge, while affected asset managers have faced rising pressure to secure operations against advanced cyber threats.
