A month ago, Google released eight new top level domains (TLD). Two of them (.zip and.mov) have been a cause for concern because they are similar to well known file extensions. Both.zip and.mov TLD are not new, as they have been available since 2014. The main concern is that anyone now can own a.zip or.mov domain and be abused for social engineering at a cheap price. Because both of these TLDs are indistinguishable from the file extensions, they can be a great bait for threat actors.

On June 9, 2023, Progress released a security advisory detailing newly discovered SQL injection vulnerabilities impacting the MOVEit Transfer web application and Cloud. The vulnerabilities are distinct from CVE-2023-34362, which was actively exploited by Clop Ransomware to exfiltrate data and extort compromised organizations. Although distinct, the vulnerabilities result in nearly identical unauthorized access where threat actors could modify or disclose MOVEit database content.

Cases offer a space for your team to collaborate.

AWS Security Hub is a cloud security posture management platform (CSPM) that automates security best practice checks, aggregates security alerts, and understands your overall security posture across different AWS accounts. AWS Security Hub ingests security findings from other security services like Amazon GuardDuty, Amazon Inspector, Amazon Macie, AWS IAM, and AWS Firewall Manager — as well as findings from partners like Snyk.

In today’s highly dynamic application ecosystem, the number and scope of security issues that developers need to address have increased dramatically, making it imperative for modern development teams to have an automated system to handle security events across every application component.

MOVEit, a massive global fire-sharing service provider, recently suffered a data breach that could impact 100's of corporations in the United States, Europe, and many other areas of the world. The file-transfer service provider is supposed to offer a secure transfer solution, and it appears that it may not be as secure as so many hoped. This breach is the result of a ransomware attack, and that attack could result in substantial losses for so many involved.

These, as well as other notable trends from the previous quarter, are discussed in the report, Q1 2023 Threat Landscape Report: Ransomware Groups Splinter, Swarm Professional Services.
