Meta and X have already paused some AI training over same set of concerns.

The arrest of Telegram’s chief executive in France has ignited a debate about moderation on his app.
About nine months ago while researching a story, I found myself added to a large Telegram channel which was focused on selling drugs.
I was then added to one about hacking and then one about stolen credit cards.
I realised my Telegram settings had made it possible for people to add me to their channels without me doing anything. I kept the settings the same to see what would happen.

ESET découvre que le groupe CosmicBeetle s'associe à d'autres gangs de ransomwares et cible des entreprises en France. Tribune ESET. Les chercheurs d'ESET ont mené l’enquête sur ScRansom, un nouveau ransomware développé par le groupe CosmicBeetle. CosmicBeetle a débuté avec les outils Lockbit qui ont fuité. CosmicBeetle est probablement devenu récement un affilié RansomHub ScRansom

Microsoft on Tuesday raised an alarm for in-the-wild exploitation of a critical flaw in Windows Update, warning that attackers are rolling back security fixes on certain versions of its flagship operating system.

We recently performed research that started off "well-intentioned" (or as well-intentioned as we ever are) - to make vulnerabilities in WHOIS clients and how they parse responses from WHOIS servers exploitable in the real world (i.e. without needing to MITM etc).

As part of our research, we discovered that a few years ago the WHOIS server for the .MOBI TLD migrated from whois.dotmobiregistry.net to whois.nic.mobi – and the dotmobiregistry.net domain had been left to expire seemingly in December 2023.

Uncover the secrets of the Quad7 botnet and its ever-evolving toolset. Learn about the new backdoors and protocols used by these operators.

August 2024 witnessed a noticeable increase in ransomware activity, with emerging groups like Lynx and RansomHub showing dramatic...

The mysterious Quad7 botnet has evolved its tactics to compromise several brands of Wi-Fi routers and VPN appliances. It’s armed with new backdoors, multiple vulnerabilities, some of which were previously unknown, and new staging servers and clusters, according to a report by Sekoia, a cybersecurity firm.

In recent threat activity observed by Arctic Wolf, Akira ransomware affiliates carried out ransomware attacks with an initial access vector involving the compromise of SSLVPN user accounts on SonicWall devices.

Ransomware affiliates exploit a critical security vulnerability in SonicWall SonicOS firewall devices to breach victims' networks.

À l'occasion d'un communiqué de presse publié le 14 août 2024, le Conseil fédéral a approuvé le Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (Swiss-U.S. DPF) et arrêté son en vigueur au 15 septembre 2024. Selon cette décision, les entreprises américaines participant au Swiss-U.S. DPF garantissent un niveau adéquat de protection des données en vertu de la LPD, de sorte que les données personnelles peuvent être transférées aux entreprises américaines participantes sans avoir à conclure de clauses contractuelles types adoptées par la Commission Européenne (SCC) et sans qu'il soit nécessaire de procéder à une analyse d'impact du transfert de données.

Every sysadmin is familiar with Veeam’s enterprise-oriented backup solution, ‘Veeam Backup & Replication’. Unfortunately, so is every ransomware operator, given it's somewhat 'privileged position' in the storage world of most enterprise's networks. There's no point deploying cryptolocker malware on a target unless you can also deny access to backups, and so, this class of attackers absolutely loves to break this particular software.
With so many eyes focussed on it, then, it is no huge surprise that it has a rich history of CVEs. Today, we're going to look at the latest episode - CVE-2024-40711.
Well, that was a complex vulnerability, requiring a lot of code-reading! We’ve successfully shown how multiple bugs can be chained together to gain RCE in a variety of versions of Veeam Backup & Replication.

A new variant of the ongoing sextortion email scams is now targeting spouses, saying that their husband or wife is cheating on them, with links to the alleged proof.

Russia is increasingly turning to American social media stars to covertly influence voters ahead of the 2024 presidential election, according to U.S. officials and recently unveiled criminal charges.
“What we see them doing is relying on witting and unwitting Americans to seed, promote and add credibility to narratives that serve these foreign actors’ interest,” a senior intelligence official said in a briefing on Friday. “These foreign countries typically calculate that Americans are more likely to believe other Americans’ views.”

Attackers roamed the systems of Avis Car Rental, a major car rental service provider, for several days, accessing data of nearly 300,000 individuals.

Malicious actors breached Avis systems on August 3rd and roamed inside the system for three days until the company secured its networks.

The company’s data breach notification letter, submitted to the Maine Attorney General’s Office, states that Avis discovered the breach on August 5th, indicating it took at least one day to kick the malicious actors out.

Il existe une méthode pour intercepter des informations sensibles en exploitant les émissions électromagnétiques des câbles HDMI ! Cette technique, qui s'appuie sur l'intelligence artificielle, permet de reconstituer ce qui est affiché sur un écran avec une précision inquiétante.

Progress Software has issued an emergency fix for a maximum (10/10) severity vulnerability impacting its LoadMaster and LoadMaster Multi-Tenant (MT) Hypervisor products that allows attackers to remotely execute commands on the device.

One of Russia’s most prominent pro-democracy organisations, the Free Russia Foundation, announced that it was investigating a potential cyberattack on Friday, following a leak of thousands of emails and documents related to its work.

This post is about sandbox evasion techniques and their usefulness in more targeted engagements.

There's a lot of sandbox evasion techniques, some are simple: query WMI, some are cool: parsing SMBIOS tables, most try to detect sandbox artifacts. I wanted to know if these techniques are still effective for detecting sandboxes, or if the sandboxes have since been updated to counter them.
