The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has warned of critical security vulnerabilities in Emergency Alert System (EAS) encoder/decoder devices. If left unpatched, the issues could allow an adversary to issue fraudulent emergency alerts over TV, radio, and cable networks. The August 1 advisory comes courtesy of DHS' Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).

Conflicting business requirements is a common problem – and you find it in every corner of an organization, including in information technology. Resolving these conflicts is a must, but it isn’t always easy – though sometimes there is a novel solution that helps. In IT management there is a constant struggle between security and operations teams. Yes, both teams ultimately want to have secure The Hacker Newshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16801458706306167627noreply@blogger.com

A nascent service called Dark Utilities has already attracted 3,000 users for its ability to provide command-and-control (C2) services with the goal of commandeering compromised systems. "It is marketed as a means to enable remote access, command execution, distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks and cryptocurrency mining operations on infected systems," Cisco Talos said in a report shared Ravie Lakshmananhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10975661172932160797noreply@blogger.com

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Thursday added a recently disclosed high-severity vulnerability in the Zimbra email suite to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, citing evidence of active exploitation. The issue in question is CVE-2022-27924 (CVSS score: 7.5), a command injection flaw in the platform that could lead to the execution of arbitrary Ravie Lakshmananhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10975661172932160797noreply@blogger.com

If you spew projects laced with hidden malware into an open source repository, don't waste your time telling us "no harm done" afterwards.

Imagine this: a company-wide lockout to the company CRM, like Salesforce, because the organization's external admin attempts to disable MFA for themselves. They don't think to consult with the security team and don't consider the security implications, only the ease which they need for their team to use their login.  This CRM, however, defines MFA as a top-tier security setting; for example, The Hacker Newshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16801458706306167627noreply@blogger.com

As many as 29 different router models from DrayTek have been identified as affected by a new critical, unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerability that, if successfully exploited, could lead to full compromise of the devices and unauthorized access to the broader network.

Případů, kdy pracovníky firem oklame podvodný e-mail, který obsahuje informace o údajné změně účtu obchodního partnera, přibývá. Jen v Olomouckém kraji začali kriminalisté šetřit tento týden dva. Firmy poslaly na falešné účty dohromady více než 1,4 milionu korun. Poté, co Novinky.cz o případech informovaly, ozval se Martin Baier z ostravské IT firmy, který podvod odhalil na poslední chvíli.

An unknown threat actor has been targeting Russian entities with a newly discovered remote access trojan called Woody RAT for at least a year as part of a spear-phishing campaign. The advanced custom backdoor is said to be delivered via either of two methods: archive files or Microsoft Office documents leveraging the now-patched "Follina" support diagnostic tool vulnerability (CVE-2022-30190) inRavie Lakshmananhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10975661172932160797noreply@blogger.com

Emmabunt¼s 1.02 is here almost seven months after Emmabunt¼s 1.01 and it's based on the Debian GNU/Linux 11.4 ''Bullseye'' release that arrived last month with 79 security updates and 81 miscellaneous bug fixes.

A threat actor is said to have "highly likely" exploited a security flaw in an outdated Atlassian Confluence server to deploy a never-before-seen backdoor against an unnamed organization in the research and technical services sector. The attack, which transpired over a seven-day-period during the end of May, has been attributed to a threat activity cluster tracked by cybersecurity firm DeepwatchRavie Lakshmananhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10975661172932160797noreply@blogger.com

Phishing incidents are on the rise. A report from IBM shows that phishing was the most popular attack vector in 2021, resulting in one in five employees falling victim to phishing hacking techniques.

Cisco on Wednesday rolled out patches to address eight security vulnerabilities, three of which could be weaponized by an unauthenticated attacker to gain remote code execution (RCE) or cause a denial-of-service (DoS) condition on affected devices. The most critical of the flaws impact Cisco Small Business RV160, RV260, RV340, and RV345 Series routers.

And THIS is why you don't knit your own home-made encryption algorithms and hope no one looks at them.

A late-stage candidate encryption algorithm that was meant to withstand decryption by powerful quantum computers in the future has been trivially cracked by using a computer running Intel Xeon CPU in an hour's time. The algorithm in question is SIKE — short for Supersingular Isogeny Key Encapsulation — which made it to the fourth round of the Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) standardization Ravie Lakshmananhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10975661172932160797noreply@blogger.com

Vulnerability—for which a proof-of-concept is forthcoming—is one of a string of flaws the company fixed that could lead to an attack chain.

Threat actors are increasingly mimicking legitimate applications like Skype, Adobe Reader, and VLC Player as a means to abuse trust relationships and increase the likelihood of a successful social engineering attack. Other most impersonated legitimate apps by icon include 7-Zip, TeamViewer, CCleaner, Microsoft Edge, Steam, Zoom, and WhatsApp, an analysis from VirusTotal has revealed.
