A phishing campaign is targeting GitHub users with phony CAPTCHA pages, according to researchers at McAfee. The phishing emails ask users to address a security vulnerability in a GitHub repository that they recently contributed to, and contain a link to find more information about the alleged vulnerability. This link leads to a fake CAPTCHA page that attempts to trick them into installing malware.

Many businesses depend on cloud-based tools like Office 365 to run their daily business. Because of this, O365 monitoring has become much more important for making sure that your Office 365 environment runs easily, safely, and effectively. Office 365 is more than just an email service; it's a full suite with efficiency apps, tools for working together, and storage for files. But this huge environment could also be a target for cyber threats, so it's important to keep an eye on and protect its activities.

John Lennon popularized the phrase, “Life is what happens when you’re making other plans.” And that’s an apt characterization for how we think about threat intelligence. We tend to focus on it to block or alert-on an attack. Meanwhile life is what’s happening to our threat intel while we’re making these plans. When we don’t pay attention to the threat intelligence lifecycle, we can run into trouble.

The public sector has faced a surge of cyber attacks in recent months, targeting state agencies, schools and local governments, severely affecting operations. Several recently released cyber industry reports show a steady or growing number of ransomware attacks so far in 2024. The examples below are just some of the cyber attacks against public sector organizations this past summer.

In a sophisticated cyber espionage campaign, a group of Chinese hackers has exploited a critical vulnerability in GeoServer to target government organizations across the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region. This operation, linked to the advanced persistent threat (APT) group known as Earth Baxia, highlights the evolving landscape of cyber threats facing sensitive sectors, including government and energy.

In today’s interconnected world, where the digital landscape is constantly evolving, the threats to an organization’s cybersecurity posture are more sophisticated and pervasive than ever before. Relying on traditional, largely prevention-focused cybersecurity tools and approaches is not enough. Cyber attacks are inevitable.

While today’s AI is focused on user-agent interactions, the real revolution is on the horizon, where AI agents will increasingly communicate, collaborate, and share data amongst agents. This shift brings unprecedented opportunities and new and complex data protection challenges.

HTML smuggling techniques have been around for quite some time. A previous Trustwave SpiderLabs’ blog discussed its use in distributing malware by storing binaries in immutable blob data within JavaScript code that gets decoded on the client-side browser, eventually delivering the payload.

A high severity OS command injection vulnerability, CVE-2024-8190, has been found in Ivanti Cloud Services Appliance (CSA) versions 4.6 Patch 518 and earlier. This flaw allows attackers with admin access to remotely execute malicious commands, potentially taking full control of the system. Ivanti has already released updates, but this command injection vulnerability is actively exploited in the wild, making immediate action critical.
