McDonald’s reportedly suffered a hack of its Instagram account Wednesday (Aug. 21), with the hackers claiming they used the fast-food giant’s account to promote a fake cryptocurrency that they dubbed “GRIMACE” and pocket $700,000 from the scam.The hackers’ posts were later deleted, the New York Post reported Wednesday.McDonald’s did not immediately reply to PYMNTS’ request for comment, which was emailed outside business hours.In a statement provided to the New York Post, the company said it was aware of an “isolated incident” that affected its social media accounts on Wednesday, according to the report.“We have resolved the issue on those accounts and apologize to our fans for any offensive language posted during that time,” the statement said, per the report.The type of scam committed by the hackers was a “rug pull” in which fraudsters typically create a fake cryptocurrency, promote it to investors on social media and other online channels, withdraw funds from a coin’s liquidity pool and then disappear, according to the report.In the case of GRIMACE, the fake coin when from zero to $25 million in value in 30 minutes before crashing, per the report.In commentary on the reported incident emailed to PYMNTS, Rob Hughes, chief information security officer at RSA Security, said that cybercriminals are increasingly targeting identity and crypto.While emphasizing that it’s not known how the McDonald’s account was taken over, Hughes said that the threat actors in other data breaches in the past used stolen credentials, phished credentials or ways to evade multifactor authentication.“Cybercriminals will typically go where the money is, and increasingly that means campaigns built around crypto,” Hughes said in his commentary. “It also means using the tactics that are likeliest to work, and that typically means targeting identity.”In an earlier “rug pull” scam, the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Eastern District of New York said in January 2023 that a fraudster used this method to defraud buyers of nearly $3 million in cryptocurrency.The number and size of “rug pulls” exploded in 2021, with scammers making off with about $2.8 billion in that way that year, PYMNTS reported at the time

BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RSA, the security-first identity leader, announced today that KuppingerCole Analysts AG has named RSA an Overall Leader, Innovation Leader, and Market Leader in its 2024 Identity Fabrics Leadership Compass Report, which provides CISOs, CIOs, and security teams with key insights into the vendors that can “deliver the full range of identity services required by an organization.”The 2024 KuppingerCole Leadership Compass: Identity Fabrics comes at a key moment in cybersecurity. More organizations than ever have adopted multi-factor authentication (MFA), which is a critical cybersecurity component but insufficient as a singular defense against emerging threats. Recent data breaches—including the ransomware attack that reportedly cost MGM Resorts $100 million, the Colonial Pipeline breach, and the theft of access tokens—indicate that rather than attack MFA, cybercriminals target other phases in the identity lifecycle.Those attacks validate KuppingerCole’s conclusion that a paradigm shift has transformed identity, and that vendors must be assessed on their capacity to deliver an end-to-end identity security platform to defend themselves from attacks. “The formerly classic corporate network with clearly defined ‘inside’ and ‘outside’ has given way to a massively hybrid, new IT reality,” the report notes. Given that shift, the report adds that identity and access management (IAM) “has emerged as the essential security infrastructure from which enterprises can facilitate new services, models, and forms of cooperation,” and that managing “identities and permissions in digital transformation is the key to security, governance, and audit,” as well as “system usability and user satisfaction.”“KuppingerCole’s analysis showcases the centrality of identity in assuring cybersecurity and recognizes the market shift towards broader identity platforms. We continue to believe that—in addition to breadth—depth in security capability will be vital, and the future belongs to security-first identity platforms,” said RSA CEO Rohit Ghai
