The Marvin Attack, named after the vulnerability it exploits, poses a significant threat to systems relying on RSA encryption and signing operations. It's a variation of the Bleichenbacher attack, which exploits errors in PKCS #1 v1.5 padding to perform adaptive-chosen ciphertext attacks. The attack leverages timing information obtained from RSA encryption or signing operations.

New analysis of DNS queries shows material growth in phishing, malware and botnets and offers insight into how many threats the average person experiences. Most of the reports I cover use detection on an endpoint, a security solution, or the corporate network for their analysis, but the 2024 Annual Security Report from DNSFilter feels a bit more impartial because it uses DNS queries to determine whether whether malicious activity is occuring.

A ransomware attack can demoralize or debilitate organizations quite like no other. Not only does ransomware strike a company's morale, but it also causes massive financial losses along with reputational damage that could prove difficult to repair. Cybersecurity Ventures predicted global ransomware damage costs to reach $20 billion annually in 2021, up from $325 million in 2015. In eight years from now, the costs will exceed $265 billion.

In a bold move aimed at raising awareness and protest against the pro-Ukrainian stance of the Polish authorities, the notorious NoName hacking group launched a series of cyber attacks targeting critical infrastructure in Poland.

Brand impersonation attacks can target both individuals and large groups of people. Scammers may use phony websites, mobile apps, or social media pages, as well as bogus emails, voicemails, or text messages.

In the intricate realm of cybersecurity, the relentless surge of cyber threats demands a constant reassessment of defensive strategies. Amidst this dynamic landscape, a subtle yet indispensable player takes center stage — Security Configuration Management (SCM). This blog embarks on an insightful journey into the critical role played by SCM in the ongoing battle against cyberattacks, shedding light on its ability to pinpoint and rectify system misconfigurations.

In today's expanding cyber threat landscape, infiltrating a system goes beyond unauthorized access or malware installation. To achieve their ultimate objectives, cybercriminals need to maintain an undetected presence in the system or network to control or extract data according to their needs. Command and Control attacks, also known as C&C or C2 attacks, create a covert link between the compromised system and a C2 server.

A brute-force attack is a trial-and-error method hackers use to guess login information, and encryption keys, or find hidden web pages. In a brute force attack, an attacker tries as many combinations as possible, systematically incrementing through all possibilities until the correct password is discovered. This can be done manually, but it is usually automated using specialized software tools designed for this purpose.

Azure customers are facing the biggest threat to their privileged accounts.
