Cisco Talos discovered an ongoing malicious campaign operated by a financially motivated threat actor targeting users, predominantly in Poland and Germany.
Salt Typhoon, a state-sponsored actor linked to the People’s Republic of China, has breached at least nine U.S.-based telecommunications companies with the intent to target high profile government and political figures. Tenable Research examines the tactics, techniques and procedures of this threat actor.
The Gootloader malware family uses a distinctive form of social engineering to infect computers: Its creators lure people to visit compromised, legitimate WordPress websites using hijacked Google search results, present the visitors to these sites with a simulated online message board, and link to the malware from a simulated “conversation” where a fake visitor asks a fake site admin the exact question that the victim was searching for an answer to.
This blog analysis regarding a recent threat actor posting, which claims to offer compromised configuration and VPN credentials from FortiGate devices, provides factual information to help our customers better understand the situation and make informed decisions.

At KELA, our deep dive into his online presence has revealed valuable insights, with OSINT traces playing a pivotal role in uncovering his […]
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?
Zero-day exploitation of Ivanti Connect Secure VPN vulnerabilities since as far back as December 2024.
On Wednesday, Jan. 8, 2025, Ivanti disclosed two vulnerabilities, CVE-2025-0282 and CVE-2025-0283, impacting Ivanti Connect Secure (“ICS”) VPN appliances. Mandiant has identified zero-day exploitation of CVE-2025-0282 in the wild beginning mid-December 2024. CVE-2025-0282 is an unauthenticated stack-based buffer overflow. Successful exploitation could result in unauthenticated remote code execution, leading to potential downstream compromise of a victim network.
“Clickjacking” attacks have been around for over a decade, enabling malicious websites to trick users into clicking hidden or disguised buttons they never intended to click . This technique is becoming less practical as modern browsers set all cookies to “SameSite: Lax” by default. Even if an attacker site can frame another website, the framed site would be unauthenticated, because cross-site cookies are not sent. This significantly reduces the risk of successful clickjacking attacks, as most interesting functionality on websites typically requires authentication.
This post is part of an analysis that I have carried out during my spare time, motivated by a friend that asked me to have a look at the DDosia project related to the NoName057(16) group. The reason behind this request was caused by DDosia client changes for performing the DDos attacks. Because of that, all procedures used so far for monitoring NoName057(16) activities did not work anymore.
