The Document Object Model (DOM) acts as an interface between HTML and JavaScript, bridging the gap between static content and dynamic interactivity. This function makes the DOM indispensable for modern web developers. However, the DOM has a pitfall — DOM clobbering. DOM clobbering occurs when HTML elements conflict with global JavaScript variables or functions, which can lead to unexpected behavior and a potential security loophole in your web application.

Veracode recently released Static Analysis support for Dart 3 and Flutter 3.10. This makes it possible for developers to leverage the power of Dart and Flutter and deliver more secure mobile applications by finding and resolving security flaws earlier in the development lifecycle when they are fastest and least expensive to fix.

When a company contracts or partners with a third party to handle and process its sensitive customer data, it is crucial for those third parties to use effective strategies to safeguard that data.

2023 is a year of “digital forest fires.” The MOVEit and the Barracuda Networks’ email supply chain attacks underscore the massive butterfly effect a single software flaw can have on the threat landscape. Supply chain attacks spread like a forest fire. Once cybercriminals compromise widely used software, attackers gain access to potentially all organizations that use that software.

As the digital landscape expands, organizations are facing a complex challenge: managing access to an ever-growing number of resources, applications, and services. The traditional approach of using identity groups to handle access control is becoming increasingly untenable. So, let's explore the causes behind role explosion and discuss the need for a paradigm shift towards a more scalable and efficient access management strategy. ‍

Following research on a notorious cybercrime mastermind known as Neo_Net, Cyberint has unveiled the extent of the threat actor’s activities, who primarily targets Spanish and Chilean banks. The findings indicate that the mastermind’s crimes have now expanded into multiple countries and industries worldwide. Further analysis reveals that Neo_Net has not only focused on targeting Financial Applications through the creation of fake Android applications, but has also expanded its schemes.

Assisting with the creation of spear phishing emails, cracking tools and verifying stolen credit cards, the existence of FraudGPT will only accelerate the frequency and efficiency of attacks. When ChatGPT became available to the public, I warned about its misuse by cybercriminals. Because of the existence of “ethical guardrails” built into tools like ChatGPT, there’s only so far a cybercriminal can use the platform.

In the pursuit of advancing security and transparency in the digital asset industry, Fireblocks has published our MPC-CMP code as open source under a limited license, along with the rest of our MPC library.
