The Most Recent Credential Stuffing Attacks on Companies in 2024

So far in 2024, many major companies have fallen victim to credential stuffing attacks. Some of these notable credential stuffing victims include Roku, Okta, General Motors and Levi’s. Credential stuffing attacks occur when a cybercriminal uses stolen login credentials to attempt to log in to multiple accounts simultaneously. Since many people reuse their passwords, cybercriminals can use stolen credentials to sign in to many accounts, compromising employee, customer and organizational data.

Fundamentals of GraphQL-specific attacks

Developers are constantly exploring new technologies that can improve the performance, flexibility, and usability of applications. GraphQL is one such technology that has gained significant attention for its ability to fetch data efficiently. Unlike the traditional REST API, which requires multiple round trips to the server to gather various pieces of data, GraphQL allows developers to retrieve all the needed data in a single request.

The vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands remotely and without authentication, simply by sending a malicious multipart file upload HTTP request. This blog will explore the details of this vulnerability, its potential impacts, and the essential steps for mitigation.

Top 8 Vulnerability Management Challenges and How to Overcome Them

The State of Application Security report shows that over 2.37 billion attacks were blocked on AppTrana WAAP from April 1, 2024, to June 30, 2024. Attacks targeting vulnerabilities surged by 1,200% in Q2 2024 compared to last year, an alarming fact. This sharp rise highlights that vulnerabilities are the prime target. Moreover, they are now easily exploitable thanks to readily available scripts on known vulnerabilities. This could be because of rapid adoption of AI and LLM models even among hackers.

4 Simple Steps to Implement Risk-Based Vulnerability Management

Imagine if your fire alarm sensor went off every time you burned your toast or lit candles on a birthday cake. After a few false alarms, you’d probably start ignoring them or even turn your sensor off just to get some peace. This is what many information security teams are experiencing with vulnerability alerts.

Understanding the Differences Between DORA and NIS 2

Two significant pieces of European legislation stand out as cybersecurity regulations evolve: the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) and the NIS 2 Directive. Both aim to enhance cybersecurity but target different sectors and have distinct objectives and requirements.
