Ransomware’s business model is a big part of what’s made it such a potent threat for so many years. However, we dug into multi-point ransomware attacks from 2023, and found another factor in ransomware’s staying power: a seemingly endless supply of new cyber crime groups starting ransomware operations.
Over on SuspectFile, Marco A. De Felice reports that the NoEscape ransomware gang is threatening to release 1.5 TB of data from PruittHealth Network. De Felice...
Hackers breached Booking.com, one of the world’s largest online accommodation reservation sites, by posing as hotel staff to steal credit card information from travelers making bookings.
China's biggest lender, the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, paid a ransom after it was hacked last week, a Lockbit ransomware gang representative said on Monday in a statement which Reuters was unable to independently verify.
Toyota Financial Services (TFS) has confirmed that it detected unauthorized access on some of its systems in Europe and Africa after Medusa ransomware claimed an attack on the company.
What defines success for ransomware actors during an attack? Breaching a victim’s network, exfiltrating valuable data, and encrypting systems are crucial components. However, the ultimate measurement of success is the actor’s ability to extort a ransom payment, which determines if they achieve their financial goals. Navigating the ransom negotiation phase, whether conducted by the victims themselves or designated recovery firms, demands a high level of expertise and a deep understanding of the attackers involved. This includes studying of the threat actor’s profile, tactics, and evolving strategies. In this complex landscape, there is no one-size-fits-all playbook for successfully managing the negotiation phase, as each ransomware group exhibits distinct behaviors and adopts new tactics shaped by many factors.
In modern web development, while cookies are the go-to method for transmitting session IDs, the .NET Framework also provides an alternative: encoding the session ID directly in the URL. This method is useful to clients that do not support cookies.

Security Researcher Tom Forbes worked with the GitGuardian team to analyze all the code committed to PyPi packages and surfaced thousands of hardcoded credentials.
An error as small as a single flipped memory bit is all it takes to expose a private key.
The vulnerability occurs when there are errors during the signature generation that takes place when a client and server are establishing a connection. It affects only keys using the RSA cryptographic algorithm, which the researchers found in roughly a third of the SSH signatures they examined. That translates to roughly 1 billion signatures out of the 3.2 billion signatures examined. Of the roughly 1 billion RSA signatures, about one in a million exposed the private key of the host.
Google has sold its own line of Titan Security Keys for several years now, and new USB-C and USB-A models with NFC let you store passkeys...
Among other things, bug allows code running inside a VM to crash hypervisors.
As the use of ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence (AI) technologies becomes more widespread, it is important to consider the possible risks associated with their use. One of the main concerns surrounding these technologies is the potential for malicious use, such as in the development of malware or other harmful software. Our recent reports discussed how cybercriminals are misusing the large language model’s (LLM) advanced capabilities:
We discussed how ChatGPT can be abused to scale manual and time-consuming processes in cybercriminals’ attack chains in virtual kidnapping schemes.
We also reported on how this tool can be used to automate certain processes in harpoon whaling attacks to discover “signals” or target categories.
Netflix, Spotify, Twitter, PayPal, Slack. All down for millions of people. How a group of teen friends plunged into an underworld of cybercrime and broke the internet—then went to work for the FBI.
Recently, I’ve been tracking LockBit ransomware group as they’ve been breaching large enterprises:
I thought it would be good to break down what is happening and how they’re doing it, since LockBit are breaching some of the world’s largest organisations — many of whom have incredibly large security budgets.
Through data allowing the tracking of ransomware operators, it has been possible to track individual targets. Recently, it has become clear they have been targeting a vulnerability in Citrix Netscaler, called CitrixBleed. Prior reading:
