Security Researcher Tom Forbes worked with the GitGuardian team to analyze all the code committed to PyPi packages and surfaced thousands of hardcoded credentials.
Netskope Threat Labs is tracking a campaign that uses malicious Python scripts to steal Facebook users’ credentials and browser data. This campaign targets Facebook business accounts with bogus Facebook messages with a malicious file attached. The attacks are reaching victims mainly in Southern Europe and North America across different segments, led by the manufacturing services and technology sectors.
After analyzing millions of computers infected with info-stealing malware, researchers at Hudson Rock said they identified 120,000 that contained credentials used for logging into cybercrime forums.
Such credentials in the wrong hands could be dangerous, experts say, potentially allowing physical access to data centers. The affected data center operators say the stolen information didn’t pose risks for customer IT systems.
VirusTotal can be used to collect large amounts of credentials without infecting an organization or buying them online, researchers found.
In August 2022, the Vectra Protect team identified an attack path that enables malicious actors with file system access to steal credentials for any Microsoft Teams user who is signed in.
Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) is a well-known vulnerability that has been around for a long time and can be used to steal sessions, create fake logins and carry out actions as someone else, etc.
In addition, many users are unaware of the potential dangers associated with their browser’s credential autofill feature. This attack vector is not new, but it is unknown to many people and as we investigated further we found that the dangers were extensive. In this post, the GoSecure Titan Labs team will demonstrate that using a browser password manager with autofill could expose your credentials in a web application vulnerable to XSS.
We discovered flaws in Zimbra, an enterprise email solution, that allow attackers to steal credentials of users and gain access to their email accounts.
Recently, the Zscaler ThreatLabZ team came across multiple fake Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS:GO) skin websites aimed at stealing Steam credentilsa.
