Apple AirTags: Arbitrary data can be uploaded from non-internet-connected devices by sending Find My BLE broadcasts to nearby Apple devices. We're releasing an ESP32 firmware that turns the microcontroller into an (upload only) modem, and a macOS application to retrieve, decode and display the uploaded data.
Microsoft Exchange is impacted by four zero-day vulnerabilities that attackers can exploit remotely to execute arbitrary code or disclose sensitive information on affected installations.

Several new vulnerabilities with critical severity scores are causing alarm among experts and cyber officials.
Zero-day bugs affecting products from Citrix and Apache have recently been added to the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s (CISA) known exploited vulnerability (KEV) list.
Incident responders at the cybersecurity company Rapid7 warned of hackers connected to the HelloKitty ransomware exploiting a vulnerability affecting Apache ActiveMQ, classified as CVE-2023-46604.

Microsoft is making big changes to its cybersecurity approach. It comes after major cloud attacks in recent years and will mean an overhaul to how software is built inside Microsoft.
In recent years, cybercriminals have become increasingly professional — fraudsters have consistently been improving their skills, making less crucial mistakes, and creating various “as-a-service” businesses to help lower-skilled threat actors launch scams and attacks, allowing the latter to run full cybercrime operations.
There are different types of cybercrime services that exist today, including malware-as-a-service, where cybercriminals develop and sell malware services to other malicious actors; the service also includes creating and spreading malware types such as ransomware on compromised hosts. Meanwhile, other services require the use of multiple social media accounts to be successfully carried out, such as misinformation, spamming, and malware propagation. Indeed, it’s not uncommon for cybercriminals to send thousands of spam messages using thousands of accounts on social media platforms. But how do they manage to automate all of it?
Researchers speculate that Chinese authorities may be responsible for turning off one of the internet’s most prolific IoT botnets.
Despite having a population of just 1,400, until recently, Tokelau’s .tk domain had more users than any other country. Here’s why.
FIRST announces CVSS v4.0, the latest version of the Common Vulnerability Scoring System. Discover how this update addresses critical vulnerabilities.
L'assureur qui veut s'opposer au paiement de la prestation d’assurance suite à une cyberattaque, en invoquant les sanctions américaines, doit prouver que la cyberattaque a servi les intérêts d'une entité visée par ces sanctions et qu'il risque ainsi concrètement d'être réprimandé par l'autorité américaine compétente. Le simple fait que le type de logiciel utilisé pour la cyberattaque en question soit habituellement déployé par un groupe de cyberpirates sous sanction (in casu Evil Corp) ne suffit pas pour refuser le paiement de la prestation d’assurance.
Octo Tempest employs tactics that many of its targets aren't prepared for.

Boeing , one of the world's largest defense and space contractors, said on Wednesday it was investigating a cyber incident that impacted elements of its parts and distribution business and cooperating with a law enforcement probe into it.
La nouvelle loi sur la protection des données a introduit l’obligation d’établir, dans certains cas, une analyse d’impact relative à la protection des données personnelles (AIPD). Elle vise à identifier préalablement les risques potentiellement élevés pour la personnalité et les droits fondamentaux, afin de prendre les mesures adéquates pour les réduire à un niveau acceptable. Si l’exercice peut faire peur, il suffit de suivre quelques étapes très concrètes.

Hackers encrypted the servers of the municipal service provider Südwestfalen IT, leading the company to restrict access to its infrastructure for over 70 municipalities in western Germany.
According to ecrime.ch data, confirmed ransomware incidents occurred in 105 countries, originating from 58 ransomware groups. This number is relatively consistent with last year’s data, in which we calculated that incidents impacted organizations in 109 countries and documented at least 60 distinct ransomware families. Though the overall statistics remain relatively consistent from last year to this year, there is more to the story: new trends in the ecosystem include the shifting dynamics of ransomware groups, the rise of the education sector as a key target, and the trends in geographic distribution of attacks.
A threat actor that security researchers call Prolific Puma has been providing link shortening services to cybercriminals for at least four years while keeping a sufficiently low profile to operate undetected.
Undisclosed requests may bypass configuration utility authentication, allowing an attacker with network access to the BIG-IP system through the management port…
Australian software company Atlassian warned admins to immediately patch Internet-exposed Confluence instances against a critical security flaw that could lead to data loss following successful exploitation.
