A new report focused on cyber espionage actors targeting government and critical infrastructure sectors highlights the strategic use of ransomware for distraction or misattribution. It was inevitable: a threat group using a secondary attack type to cover their tracks – whether those “tracks” are the groups true intent, who’s responsible – or to simply make some additional money after they’re done with the initial attack.

In today’s interconnected digital landscape, distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks pose a significant threat to organizations of all sizes. To effectively combat this ever-evolving menace, there is a critical need for DDoS threat intelligence and collaborative sharing of data. We’ll explore the importance of DDoS threat intelligence, the benefits of collaborative data sharing, and the collective effort required to mitigate the impact of DDoS attacks.

As organizations continue to digitize and passwords proliferate across systems, applications, and even assets, identity and access management (IAM) has become a pillar of cybersecurity. One component of IAM has become ubiquitous with access security: multi-factor authentication (MFA). MFA is an access control technique that adds a layer of security to user logins and access by making the user verify their identity.

Over 100,000 websites fell victim to a recent web supply chain attack through the Polyfill JavaScript library. This incident underscores significant vulnerabilities in third-party script integration across the web. This article covers what Polyfill does, why it’s now a threat, and the steps you should take if your website relies on it.

Polyfill.io helps web developers achieve cross-browser compatibility by automatically managing necessary polyfills. By adding a script tag to their HTML, developers can ensure that features like JavaScript functions, HTML5 elements, and various APIs work across different browsers. Originally developed by Andrew Betts, Polyfill.io injects JavaScript polyfill libraries based on the user agent or other characteristics, streamlining code maintenance.

Data is among the most valuable assets for companies, making it a prime target for malicious actors. Ransomware attacks that seize data and demand a price for its return have become a significant concern for businesses and individuals. According to the Verizon 2024 Data Breach Investigations Report, about one-third of all breaches involved ransomware or another extortion technique. Here’s everything you need to know about ransomware and how to prevent a successful attack.
