Resecurity notified several data center organizations about malicious cyber activity targeting them and their customers. The initial early-warning threat notification about this activity was sent around September 2021 with further updates during 2022 and January, 2023. Recent cyber-attacks on cloud service providers (CSPs) and managed services providers (MSPs) saw bad actors attempt to leverage a weakness in their cybersecurity supply chain with the goal of stealing sensitive data from their target enterprises and government organizations. Data centers are meaningful targets for attackers and an important element of the enterprise supply chain.
We observed a recent spate of supply chain attacks attempting to exploit CVE-2021-35394, affecting IoT devices with chipsets made by Realtek.
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.
With the ongoing war in Ukraine, in the Polish cyberspace, there are more and more occurrences classified as computer incidents, including attacks perpetrated by Russian hackers. This is a response of the Russian Federation to the Poland’s support provided to Ukraine and an attempt to destabilise the situation in our country.
US officials and allies have warned about attacks from XakNet and related groups.
We recently began scanning for middlebox devices that are vulnerable to Middlebox TCP reflection, which can be abused for DDoS amplification attacks. Our results are now shared daily, filtered for your network or constituency in the new Vulnerable DDoS Middlebox report. We uncover over 18,800,000 IPv4 addresses responding to our Middlebox probes. In some cases the amplification rates can exceed 10,000!
