The streets of Barcelona buzzed with anticipation as the Mobile World Congress 2024 (MWC) unfolded, unveiling insights and innovations that paint a vivid picture of our technological tomorrow. With almost 100,000 people in attendance, MWC is clearly on the world’s stage as dignitaries like the King of Spain and tech leaders like Michael Dell, Antonio Neri, Ziad Asghar and others spoke at the podium and on panels.

Bugcrowd offers crowdsourced security testing through a community of white hat hackers. CyCognito offers automated discovery of an organization’s externally exposed attack surface. Combined, the two solutions allow for a comprehensive inventory of exposed assets to be included in the scope of bug bounties or pentests.

According to the latest news, the cloud-based data storage and analytics giant Snowflake has supposedly suffered a breach according to researchers that interacted with a certain Threat Actor known as ‘whitewarlock’ on the deep web hacking forum ‘exploitin’. Cyberint found the original compromised machine potentially exploited by ‘whitewarlock’. Over 500 demo environment instances were found included in the malware log.

You may have heard people talking about SOC recently, especially now with the increase in the use of digital assets and remote applications. In these cases, SOC enables organisations to bolster their security posture and be more proactive in detecting and preventing threats. But what is SOC in cyber security?

At Lookout, we’re no stranger to all the app risks, phishing attempts, and vulnerabilities that make mobile devices such appealing targets. Over the years, our researchers have identified 1500 threat families and have exposed some of the most sophisticated threats ever found, including Pegaussu, Dark Caracal, and — most recently — CryptoChameleon.

GuLoader stands out as a prominent downloader founded on shellcode that has been used in many attacks aimed at spreading a diverse array of highly sought-after malware strains. For over three years, GuLoader has maintained its activity and is continuously evolving through ongoing development efforts. The latest iteration introduces novel anti-analysis techniques, making its analysis extremely difficult.

According to my research, it became clear that if CISO's focused on these three items, it would take care of 99% of the vulnerabilities. One: There are three top root hacking causes, and they comprise almost all of the cybersecurity risk most organizations face: These three most popular root hacking causes are often co-mingled together to bring about the desired effect.

The specter of cybercrime continues to grow, with losses soaring to $12.5 billion in 2023, according to the recently released Internet Crime Report by the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3). The revelations underline an alarming surge in cybercrime, affecting both business and personal interests alike, with the main attack vectors being investment fraud, business email compromises and an increased surge of ransomware attacks on nearly every critical infrastructure sector.

The construction of a more cyber resilient European Union (EU) took a remarkable step forward this past week as negotiators from the European Parliament and the European Council reached a provisional agreement on the proposed Cyber Solidarity Act. Proposed last year, the Cyber Solidarity Act is composed of three key pillars that seek to crack the daunting challenge of detecting, preparing for, and responding to cybersecurity threats and incidents that shake up the security sphere.
