What To Do if You Receive an OTP Code You Didn't Request

Receiving a One-Time Password (OTP) code that you didn’t request over text or email could be a sign that someone is trying to log in to one of your online accounts to gain access to your private information. An OTP code is a numeric code used as an additional form of verification to authenticate users before they can log in to their accounts. As the name suggests, this code can only be used once.

Emerging IoT Wiper Malware: Kaden and New LOLFME Botnet Variants

Wipers are malware that delete data on a device or make it inaccessible. They can be used for sabotage, to destroy evidence of an attack or simply to make a device unusable. IoT wipers often rewrite important parts of the firmware of an IoT device, rendering that device useless, so they are also known as “brickers”. Recent notorious examples of IoT wipers are AcidRain which was used by a Russian APT to brick satellite modems in Europe at the outset of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

What is PXE and why do devices need it?

Organizations in various sectors require multiple hardware assets. When organizations distribute assets to their employees, many have to deploy the boot files manually in individual devices, a tedious and time-consuming process—and especially when it’s necessary for 100 or more employees. ManageEngine DDI Central, a centralized platform for managing DNS, DHCP, and IPAM, provides you with templates so you can efficiently implement one-time configurations for your devices.

Advanced Vulnerability Assessments: Beyond Penetration Testing

Sensitive information must be protected from constantly evolving cyber threats in the digital age. For companies of all sizes, this is an imperative and not just a desirable objective. A sound, proactive approach to cybersecurity involves "stress-testing" an organization's defenses to see where they can be penetrated-by whom, and using what techniques.
