The “Census of Free and Open Source Software” report, which identifies the most critical software projects, sees more cloud infrastructure and Python software designated as critical software components.

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed multiple security flaws impacting open-source machine learning (ML) tools and frameworks such as MLflow, H2O, PyTorch, and MLeap that could pave the way for code execution. The vulnerabilities, discovered by JFrog, are part of a broader collection of 22 security shortcomings the supply chain security company first disclosed last month. Unlike the first

The modern business landscape is thrilling yet daunting. Rapidly evolving technology, persistent cyberthreats and escalating operational complexities make data protection and seamless business continuity challenging for businesses of all sizes. Your organization needs robust security measures that go beyond traditional backup solutions to address the intricacies of today’s complex IT ecosystems.

The threat actors behind the More_eggs malware have been linked to two new malware families, indicating an expansion of its malware-as-a-service (MaaS) operation. This includes a novel information-stealing backdoor called RevC2 and a loader codenamed Venom Loader, both of which are deployed using VenomLNK, a staple tool that serves as an initial access vector for the deployment of follow-on

The threat actor known as Gamaredon has been observed leveraging Cloudflare Tunnels as a tactic to conceal its staging infrastructure hosting a malware called GammaDrop. The activity is part of an ongoing spear-phishing campaign targeting Ukrainian entities since at least early 2024 that’s designed to drop the Visual Basic Script malware, Recorded Future’s Insikt Group said in a new analysis.

Researchers testing generative AI systems can use prompt injection, re-register after being banned, and bypass rate limits without running afoul of copyright law.

Cloudflare Tunnels is just the latest legitimate cloud service that cybercriminals and state-sponsored threat actors are abusing to hide their tracks.

A single barrier prevented attackers from exploiting a critical vulnerability in an enterprise collaboration platform. Now there’s a workaround.

At least 17 affiliate groups have used the “DroidBot” Android banking Trojan against 77 financial services companies across Europe, with more to come, researchers warn.

AI-powered tools are making cybersecurity tasks easier to solve, as well as easier for the team to handle.

As many as 77 banking institutions, cryptocurrency exchanges, and national organizations have become the target of a newly discovered Android remote access trojan (RAT) called DroidBot. “DroidBot is a modern RAT that combines hidden VNC and overlay attack techniques with spyware-like capabilities, such as keylogging and user interface monitoring,” Cleafy researchers Simone Mattia, Alessandro

By understanding the unique challenges of protecting IoT and OT devices, organizations can safeguard these critical assets against evolving cyber threats.

Cybersecurity researchers have released a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit that strings together a now-patched critical security flaw impacting Mitel MiCollab with an arbitrary file read zero-day, granting an attacker the ability to access files from susceptible instances. The critical vulnerability in question is CVE-2024-41713 (CVSS score: 9.8), which relates to a case of insufficient input

Europol on Thursday announced the shutdown of a clearnet marketplace called Manson Market that facilitated online fraud on a large scale. The operation, led by German authorities, has resulted in the seizure of more than 50 servers associated with the service and the arrest of two suspects. More than 200 terabytes of digital evidence have been collected. In addition, over 80 data storage devices

Vulnerability Management (VM) has long been a cornerstone of organizational cybersecurity. Nearly as old as the discipline of cybersecurity itself, it aims to help organizations identify and address potential security issues before they become serious problems. Yet, in recent years, the limitations of this approach have become increasingly evident.  At its core, Vulnerability Management

A previously undocumented threat activity cluster dubbed Earth Minotaur is leveraging the MOONSHINE exploit kit and an unreported Android-cum-Windows backdoor called DarkNimbus to facilitate long-term surveillance operations targeting Tibetans and Uyghurs. “Earth Minotaur uses MOONSHINE to deliver the DarkNimbus backdoor to Android and Windows devices, targeting WeChat, and possibly making it a

A suspected Chinese threat actor targeted a large U.S. organization earlier this year as part of a four-month-long intrusion. According to Broadcom-owned Symantec, the first evidence of the malicious activity was detected on April 11, 2024 and continued until August. However, the company doesn’t rule out the possibility that the intrusion may have occurred earlier. “The attackers moved laterally

The China-linked threat actor known as MirrorFace has been attributed to a new spear-phishing campaign mainly targeting individuals and organizations in Japan since June 2024. The aim of the campaign is to deliver backdoors known as NOOPDOOR (aka HiddenFace) and ANEL (aka UPPERCUT), Trend Micro said in a technical analysis. “An interesting aspect of this campaign is the comeback of a backdoor
