HTML Smuggling: The Hidden Threat in Your Inbox

Last October, Trustwave SpiderLabs blogged about the use and prevalence of HTML email attachments to deliver malware and phishing for credentials. The use of HTML smuggling has become more prevalent, and we have since seen various cybercriminal groups utilizing these techniques to distribute malware. HTML smuggling employs HTML5 attributes that can work offline by storing a binary in an immutable blob of data within JavaScript code.

Code Signing Security: Publishers Getting More Aware After GitHub's Certificate Breach

In this highly technology-driven world, no company is completely safe from cyber-attacks. Even one of the IT giants – GitHub faced exploitation, leading to the stealing of their Code Signing Certificates. There was only minimal impact on the organization and its software products. But, from the incident, almost every small, medium, and large-scale company has got aware of securing their software publisher certificates.

How to Check if a Link is Safe

Clicking on malicious links can lead to compromised accounts and can infect your devices with malware. Learning how to check if a link is safe, before clicking on it, is important to keeping you safe online. You can check if a link is safe by hovering over the link to see if it’s the URL it’s saying it is or by using a URL checker.

The MITRE ATT&CK framework explained: Discerning a threat actor's mindset

This is part 2 of the blog series on the MITRE ATT&CK framework for container security, where I explain and discuss the MITRE ATT&CK framework. For those who are not familiar with what the MITRE framework is, I encourage you to read part 1. In my previous blog post, I explained the first four stages of the MITRE ATT&CK framework and the tactics used by adversaries to gain a foothold in the network or the environment within a containerized application. What happens next?

Prevent Inadvertent Software Supply Chain Exposures When Allowing Public Access to Private Registries

At JFrog, we’re serious about software supply chain security. As a CVE Numbering Authority, our JFrog Security Research team regularly discovers and discloses new malicious packages and vulnerabilities posing a threat to development organizations. We know that in order to deliver trusted software on demand, you must have a secure software supply chain — making security a priority in everything we do.

Elastic Global Threat Report Breakdown: Defense Evasion

When we published the Elastic Global Threat Report in 2022, it included threat trends and correlations from our analysis of telemetry data shared by our users. In addition to telling us about how well features work for them, it also represents our visibility of the threat landscape. About 34% of the techniques we saw were related to defense evasion, which we believe is a direct result of endpoint security innovations.

CSPRNG: Random algorithms need security too!

If I throw a coin high up in the air, I know the outcome — it will either be heads or tails. However, I can’t predict which it will be. I will certainly be able to guess with a 50% chance, but I can’t be 100% certain. If I were to roll a die, my certainty becomes less (1 in 6). However, I still know what the output could be. Computers are great at many things, especially predictability. They are deterministic and creating a truly random number is impossible.

How The "No Fly List" Hack Highlights the Need for Cloud Security

The names of over 1.5 million individuals were published on the dark web in January after ahacker gained access to the TSA’s “No Fly List.” That’s a lot of names (including aliases and birth dates), so why wasn’t the list secure, and how did it get leaked? The entire breach came down to one small business with one misconfigured server.
