In the name of Russia's war in Ukraine, NoName057(16) abuses GitHub and Telegram in an ongoing campaign to disrupt NATO's critical infrastructure.
ESET researchers uncover an active StrongPity campaign that spreads a trojanized version of the Android Telegram app posing as the Shagle video chat app.
Researchers have found that Kinsing malware gained access to Kubernetes servers by exploiting misconfigured and exposed PostgreSQL servers. The threat actors gained
Video messaging giant Zoom has released patches for multiple security vulnerabilities that expose both Windows and macOS users to malicious hacker attacks.
Raspberry Robin appears to be a type of Pay-Per-Install botnet, likely to be used by cybercriminals to distribute other malware.
We see that one of our vulnerabilities is exploited in the wild Link. So we decided to public the detail analysis of our two bug chains. Any customer has enough information to mitigate these bugs. The vendor also released all patches a week ago. This blog post shares the detail
This is a statement on the NZZ news article from January 9, 2023 about alleged weaknesses in Threema's encryption. But these are completely impractical and theoretical.
Threema is a Swiss encrypted messaging application. It has more than 10 million users and more than 7000 on-premise customers. Prominent users of Threema include the Swiss Government and the Swiss Army, as well as the current Chancellor of Germany, Olaf Scholz. Threema has been widely advertised as a secure alternative to other messengers.
In our work, we present seven attacks against the cryptographic protocols used by Threema, in three distinct threat models. All the attacks are accompanied by proof-of-concept implementations that demonstrate their feasibility in practice.
On 29 December 2022, the CNIL's restricted committee imposed an administrative fine of 8 million euros on the company APPLE DISTRIBUTION INTERNATIONAL because it did not collect the consent of iPhone's French users (iOS 14.6 version) before depositing and/or writing identifiers used for advertising purposes on their terminals.
After inadvertently finding that InfoSys leaked an AWS key on PyPi I wanted to know how many other live AWS keys may be present on Python package index. After scanning every release published to PyPi I found 57 valid access keys from organisations like:
Amazon themselves 😅
Intel
Stanford, Portland and Louisiana University
The Australian Government
General Atomics fusion department
Terradata
Delta Lake
And Top Glove, the worlds largest glove manufacturer 🧤
At the end of November 2022, OpenAI released ChatGPT, the new interface for its Large Language Model (LLM), which instantly created a flurry of interest in AI and its possible uses. However, ChatGPT has also added some spice to the modern cyber threat landscape as it quickly became apparent that code generation can help less-skilled threat actors effortlessly launch cyberattacks.
In Check Point Research’s (CPR) previous blog, we described how ChatGPT successfully conducted a full infection flow, from creating a convincing spear-phishing email to running a reverse shell, capable of accepting commands in English. The question at hand is whether this is just a hypothetical threat or if there are already threat actors using OpenAI technologies for malicious purposes.
CPR’s analysis of several major underground hacking communities shows that there are already first instances of cybercriminals using OpenAI to develop malicious tools. As we suspected, some of the cases clearly showed that many cybercriminals using OpenAI have no development skills at all. Although the tools that we present in this report are pretty basic, it’s only a matter of time until more sophisticated threat actors enhance the way they use AI-based tools for bad.
Users of underground forums start sharing malware coded by OpenAI’s viral sensation and dating scammers are planning on creating convincing fake girls with the tool. Cyber prognosticators predict more malicious use of ChatGPT is to come.
Confidential details including child passport scans and SEN data is published online, the BBC finds.
No passwords, but plenty of stuff for social engineering and doxxing
Because we take security, privacy, and transparency very seriously, we are sharing the details of a recent incident.
The news organization won't go into detail about what attackers hit, and why.
The decision is one of the most consequential issued under the E.U.’s landmark data-protection law and creates a new business headwind for the social media giant.
CircleCI, a software development service has disclosed a security incident and is urging users to rotate their secrets.
The CI/CD platform touts having a user base comprising more than one million engineers who rely on the service for "speed and reliability" of their builds."speed and reliability" of their builds.
On Thursday, the Jenkins security team announced 34 security vulnerabilities affecting 29 plugins for the Jenkins open source automation server, 29 of the bugs being zero-days still waiting to be patched.
During the fall of 2022, a few friends and I took a road trip from Chicago, IL to Washington, DC to attend a cybersecurity conference and (try) to take a break from our usual computer work.
While we were visiting the University of Maryland, we came across a fleet of electric scooters scattered across the campus and couldn't resist poking at the scooter's mobile app. To our surprise, our actions caused the horns and headlights on all of the scooters to turn on and stay on for 15 minutes straight.
When everything eventually settled down, we sent a report over to the scooter manufacturer and became super interested in trying to more ways to make more things honk. We brainstormed for a while, and then realized that nearly every automobile manufactured in the last 5 years had nearly identical functionality. If an attacker were able to find vulnerabilities in the API endpoints that vehicle telematics systems used, they could honk the horn, flash the lights, remotely track, lock/unlock, and start/stop vehicles, completely remotely.
