It is more important than ever to keep your info safe. Malware, ransomware, and cybercriminals who target cloud-based assets are always a danger to businesses because more and more sensitive data is being stored in the cloud. Cybersecurity Ventures recently released a report that says the costs of cybercrime will hit $10.5 trillion per year by 2025. Data breaches and cloud vulnerabilities will be the main causes of this.

Malware risks and how to avoid them are important things for both people and businesses to think about. Threats to data accuracy, privacy, and financial security come from malware like viruses, ransomware, spyware, and trojans. Reports say that over 560,000 new pieces of malware are found every day around the world, showing that cybercriminals are always changing how they do things.

Protecting web sites is more important than ever in today's quickly changing digital world. As the number of cyberattacks keeps going up, pentesting to a domain online site is an important way to find and fix holes that attackers could use easily. Pentesting, also called penetration testing, is the process of simulating cyberattacks on a web site to find security holes. This lets companies fix these holes before they can be used in real attacks.

The Sysdig Threat Research Team (TRT) recently discovered a global operation, EMERALDWHALE, targeting exposed Git configurations resulting in more than 15,000 cloud service credentials stolen. This campaign used multiple private tools that abused multiple misconfigured web services, allowing attackers to steal credentials, clone private repositories, and extract cloud credentials from their source code. Credentials for over 10,000 private repositories were collected during the operation.

Recently, a critical API vulnerability in FortiManager (CVE-2024-47575) was disclosed. Certain threat actors exploited it in the wild to steal sensitive information containing configurations, IP addresses, and credentials used by managed devices. In advanced notification emails, Fortinet warned its users of the vulnerability and mitigation steps. The vulnerability has a critical severity rating of 9.8 out of 10.

In our recent webinar, "Myth-Busting Cyberstalking," hosted by The Cyber Helpline and Paladin, we tackled common misconceptions about stalking. Misunderstandings around stalking can put victims at risk, so our goal was to debunk harmful myths and provide guidance on handling such situations safely. Here’s a rundown of the eight myths we covered, along with insights from our panel of experts.

The Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX) is a United States federal law that aims to enhance corporate transparency and accountability. Signed into law on July 30th, 2002, the Act came in response to a slew of major corporate accounting scandals, including those involving Enron and WorldCom, that came to light in the early 2000s. Its primary aim is to enhance corporate transparency and accountability, ensuring companies adhere to strict financial reporting standards and maintain effective internal controls.

Compromised secrets, such as leaked API and SSH keys, credentials, and session tokens, are the leading cause of cloud security incidents. While attackers can directly compromise secrets through methods like phishing, they can also gain control by finding and taking advantage of simple misconfigurations in your environment.
