In today’s digital age, the exchange and storage of information has become very common in all sectors of the world, healthcare being no exception. But with this transmission and storage comes the dangers of security and unauthorized access. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was enacted with stringent regulations to safeguard this data and its violations can be severe.

Avast Threat Labs recently exposed and blocked a highly sophisticated malware operation known as GuptiMiner.

In an era where technology and transportation converge, the fusion of vehicles with IoT technologies heralds a new dawn of mobility. This leap forward promises enhanced connectivity and autonomous capabilities, yet casts a shadow of cyber vulnerabilities that could jeopardize not just the integrity of the vehicles but the safety of their passengers.

A command injection vulnerability, being tracked as CVE-2024-3400, was recently discovered in the GlobalProtect feature of Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS software. This vulnerability has a CVSS score of 10 (Critical) and is actively being exploited in the wild. It impacts versions PAN-OS 120.2, PAN-OS 11.0 and PAN-OS 11.1. If exploited on vulnerable PAN-OS versions and distinct feature configurations, an unauthenticated attacker could execute arbitrary code with root privileges on the firewall.

Despite being a globally accepted security measure, passwords have associated issues that have led to countless breaches and compromised systems over many years of not-so-secure authentication technology. Yet passwords remain the dominant form of authentication because more secure options have not been accessible to all users. Passwords have evolved into the security risk they are today because, as the security requirements for passwords have increased, usability has decreased.

We have all become pretty familiar with our smartphones due to the amount of time we spend on them. According to recent data, the average user spends 3 hours and 15 minutes on their phones every day. As a result, the chance of you noticing something is not quite right with your phone is quite high. However, knowing the cause of the problem and how to fix it can be slightly more difficult. Is your iPhone behaving strangely due to outdated software, age, or hardware problem?
