75% of Black Friday Spam Emails Are Scams

Three out of four Black Friday-themed spam emails are scams, according to researchers at Bitdefender. Most of these scams are targeting users in the US and Europe. “This year, 77% of all Black Friday-themed spam (by volume) analyzed by Bitdefender’s Antispam Lab team was classified as scams, while only 22% was identified as marketing lures—emails designed to drive traffic to legitimate but overly aggressive promotions,” the researchers write.

Nearly Every Hacker Believes AI Tools Have Created a New Attack Vector

A new survey of hackers shows that AI is not only empowering hackers to be more effective, but that AI itself is “ripe for exploitation.” Rarely do we get to ask a hacker “what do you think” when it comes to cyber attacks, cybersecurity efforts, and what they think the future will hold. But Bugcrowd’s 2024 Inside the Mind of a Hacker Report (which surveyed 1300 hackers) hosts a treasure trove of data around how hackers see AI and the value it brings.

CISA Strongly Recommends Phishing-Resistant MFA

We are excited to see the Cybersecurity Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and outgoing Director Jen Easterly strongly recommend PHISHING-RESISTANT multi-factor authentication (MFA). The majority of people, including the majority of cybersecurity practitioners, do not know that most MFA…especially the most popular types used today (e.g., one-time passwords, pushed-based, SMS-based, etc.), can be as easily phished or bypassed as the passwords they were intended to replace.

How Is API Abuse Different from Web Application Attacks by Bots?

API abuse and web application bot attacks are often confused. This is understandable, as both involve automated interactions and are usually executed by bots. Both attack vectors are prevalent; criminals are always eager to disrupt the foundations on which businesses base their operations to achieve their malicious goals and they frequently automate their actions for maximum results.

What Is Penetration Testing?

Penetration testing, also referred to as pen testing, is a simulation of a cyber attack that organizations conduct to identify security vulnerabilities within their systems. By finding weaknesses through a simulated cyber attack, organizations can pinpoint areas that need improvement before a cybercriminal can exploit them. Penetration testing helps organizations address issues in their systems to prevent unauthorized access, meet compliance requirements and minimize the risk of phishing attacks.
