Malicious Inauthentic Falcon Crash Reporter Installer Delivers LLVM-Based Mythic C2 Agent Named Ciro

On July 24, 2024, an unattributed threat actor distributed a password-protected installer masquerading as an inauthentic Falcon Crash Reporter Installer to a German entity in an unattributed spear-phishing attempt. Subsequent analysis revealed that executing the installer with the threat actor-provided password leads to a novel execution chain in which an agent written to the Mythic command-and-control (C2)1 framework is executed as LLVM Intermediate Representation (IR) bitcode.

Next-Gen Vulnerability Assessment: AWS Bedrock Claude in CVE Data Classification

Large language models are fascinating tools for cybersecurity. They can analyze large quantities of text and are excellent for data extraction. One application is researching and analyzing vulnerability data, specifically Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) information. As an application security company with roots in open source software vulnerability detection and remediation, the research team at Mend.io found this a particularly relevant area of exploration.

SMB Website and API Security Fundamentals

Execution of malicious scripts was responsible for 52% of 75,000 cyber incidents. These scripts are typically used to harvest data from customer-facing websites and APIs. 60%+ such attacks target SMEs. An alarming situation when you consider the limited resource and tool budgets allocated for website and API security. A managed, enterprise-class application security offering with 24x7 SOC is, therefore, the need of the hour for SMBs.

Low-DDoS Attack Live Simulation

Million+ unique IPs hit your web or API server with one or two requests per minute. Default rate-limits fail immediately, and your server is down. 50% of the DDoS attacks employ botnets for launching such attacks. In this live attack simulation, join Karthik Krishnamoorthy (CTO of Indusface) and Vivek Gopalan (VP of Products of Indusface), as they demonstrate advanced AI-powered DDoS mitigation while minimizing false positive blocks.

Improve security with instant feedback: how policies with notifications educate users

Real-time feedback on risky behavior stops sensitive data exfiltration and educates employees on security best practices, based on research from Cyberhaven Labs analyzing data on warning and blocking policy implementations.

5 Genuine Reasons - Why Mergers & Acquisitions Need Virtual Data Rooms

Virtual data rooms (VDRs) are revolutionizing merger and acquisition operations. They enable all parties involved - buyers, sellers, and intermediaries - to access, exchange, and analyze large amounts of information quickly and efficiently. This not only speeds up the transaction process but also increases its overall value. All transaction participants have access to a secure place to request, share, organize, and store thousands of confidential documents when using a virtual M&A data room.

Dark web monitoring as your early warning system for insider threats

According to the 2023 Insider Threat Report by Cybersecurity Insiders, 74% of organizations are at least moderately vulnerable to insider threats. This statistic underscores a critical issue: Insider threats are notoriously difficult to detect because they originate from individuals with authorized access and intimate knowledge of your systems. While traditional security measures focus on external threats, they often fall short when it comes to spotting insider threats.
