A new ransomware campaign encrypts Amazon S3 buckets using AWS's Server-Side Encryption with Customer Provided Keys (SSE-C) known only to the threat actor, demanding ransoms to receive the decryption key.

Apple recently addressed a macOS vulnerability that allows attackers to bypass System Integrity Protection (SIP) and install malicious kernel drivers by loading third-party kernel extensions.

Nominet, the U.K. domain registry that maintains .co.uk domains, has experienced a cybersecurity incident that it confirmed is linked to the recent

Scholastic hack: A furry breached the education company Scholastic this month and stole data on 8 million people, the Daily Dot has learned.

Firmware in cellular routers, secure routers and network security appliances made by Moxa are vulnerable to a pair of high severity bugs.

After the excitement of our .MOBI research, we were left twiddling our thumbs. As you may recall, in 2024, we demonstrated the impact of an unregistered domain when we subverted the TLS/SSL CA process for verifying domain ownership to give ourselves the ability to issue valid and trusted TLS/

• FireScam is an information stealing malware with spyware capabilities.
  It is distributed as a fake ‘Telegram Premium’ APK via a phishing website hosted on the GitHub.io domain, mimicking the RuStore app store.
• The phishing website delivers a dropper that installs the FireScam malware disguised as the Telegram Premium application.
• The malware exfiltrates sensitive data, including notifications, messages, and other app data, to a Firebase Realtime Database endpoint.
• FireScam monitors device activities such as screen state changes, e-commerce transactions, clipboard activity, and user engagement to gather valuable information covertly.
• Captures notifications across various apps, including system apps, to potentially steal sensitive information and track user activities.
• It employs obfuscation techniques to hide its intent and evade detection by security tools and researchers.
• FireScam performs checks to identify if it is running in an analysis or virtualized environment.
• The malware leverages Firebase for command-and-control communication, data storage, and to deliver additional malicious payloads.
• Exfiltrated data is temporarily stored in the Firebase Realtime Database, filtered for valuable content, and later removed.
• The Firebase database reveals potential Telegram IDs linked to the threat actors and contains URLs to other malware specimens hosted on the phishing site.
• By exploiting the popularity of messaging apps and other widely used applications, FireScam poses a significant threat to individuals and organizations worldwide.

ICAO says the incident was allegedly linked to a hacker 'known for targeting international organizations'

We agree - modern security engineering is hard - but none of this is modern. We are discussing vulnerability classes - with no sophisticated trigger mechanisms that fuzzing couldnt find - discovered in the 1990s, that can be trivially discovered via basic fuzzing, SAST (the things product security teams do with real code access).

As an industry, should we really be communicating that these vulnerability classes are simply too complex for a multi-billion dollar technology company that builds enterprise-grade, enterprise-priced network security solutions to proactively resolve?

Russia and other hostile states have become increasingly brazen in adopting “gray zone” attacks against Europe and the United States, leaving defense officials with a dilemma: How to respond?

• The FunkSec ransomware group emerged in late 2024 and published over 85 victims in December, surpassing every other ransomware group that month.
• FunkSec operators appear to use AI-assisted malware development which can enable even inexperienced actors to quickly produce and refine advanced tools.
• The group’s activities straddle the line between hacktivism and cybercrime, complicating efforts to understand their true motivations.
• Many of the group’s leaked datasets are recycled from previous hacktivism campaigns, raising doubts about the authenticity of their disclosures.
• Current methods of assessing ransomware group threats often rely on the actors’ own claims, highlighting the need for more objective evaluation techniques.
