Cybercriminals are setting up malicious domains and peddling phony drugs, all related to the new vaccines, says Bolster.

The flaw is a missing authorization check in the EEM Manager component of SolMan, which could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute operating system commands on hosts, as the SMDAgent.

A new large-scale phishing campaign targeting global organizations has been found to bypass Microsoft Office 365 Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) and steal credentials belonging to over a thousand corporate employees. The cyber offensive is said to have originated in August last year, with the attacks aimed specifically at energy and construction companies, said researchers from Check Point

Like large banks, these firms hold valuable financial data but often have smaller security budgets and fewer staff, says Digital Shadows.

A relatively new crypto-mining malware that surfaced last year and infected thousands of Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL) databases has now been linked to a small software development company based in Iran. The attribution was made possible due to an operational security oversight, said researchers from cybersecurity firm Sophos, that led to the company's name inadvertently making its way into the

Opening a website with an embedded YouTube video potentially allowed miscreants to access a user’s viewing history, favorites, and playlists, due to a security bug in the embedded player.

NVIDIA's Shield TV is affected by one high-severity bug (CVE?2021?1068), with a 7.8 CVSS rating, that exists in the NVDEC component of the gadget, which is a hardware-based decoder.

Some organizations that fall victim to ransomware attacks are paying ransoms to the hackers despite being able to restore their networks from backups, so as to prevent hackers publishing stolen data.

In the coming weeks Google will be rolling out a new feature to users of its Chrome browser which will make it easier to check for weak passwords and warn if stored passwords have been compromised in a past data breach. Read more in my article on the Tripwire State of Security blog.

Following a devastating ransomware attack, the London Borough Council of Hacney is looking for some external expertise to evaluate its staff's understanding of their security responsibilities, and help them adopt effective security practices. Do you think you could help them?

The 14GB leaked database contains 77,159,696 records with users' email addresses, full names, bcrypt hashed passwords, titles, company names, IP addresses, and other system-related information.

To prevent sophisticated hacking attacks, Microsoft is recommending organizations adopt a "zero trust mentality", which disavows the assumption that everything inside an IT network is safe.

  Introduction to the Marketplace

Digital transformation has enabled organizations to move to the cloud to ensure scalable, secure infrastructure. And, in recent years cloud infrastructure has evolved to include cloud marketplaces. These marketplaces are designed to provide customers with access to software applications and services that are built on, integrate with, or complement the cloud provider's offerings.

FireEye is reporting the current known tactics that the SVR used to compromise Microsoft 365 cloud data as part of its SolarWinds operation:

Mandiant has observed UNC2452 and other threat actors moving laterally to the Microsoft 365 cloud using a combination of four primary techniques:

• Steal the Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS) token-signing certificate and use it to forge tokens for arbitrary users (sometimes described as Golden SAML). This would allow the attacker to authenticate into a federated resource provider (such as Microsoft 365) as any user, without the need for that user’s password or their corresponding multi-factor authentication (MFA) mechanism...

Should it run on a target environment, the malware executes a tracking pixel programmed to redirect the user to malicious content, including phishing pages and fake software updates.

The order gives the Commerce Department authority to write rules to bar transactions with foreigners in cloud computing products or services, if a foreigner uses them for cyberattacks.

When you are a startup, there are umpteen things that demand your attention. You must give your hundred percent (probably even more!) to work effectively and efficiently with the limited resources. Understandably, the application security importance may be pushed at the bottom of your things-to-do list. One other reason to ignore web application protectioncould be your belief that only large

As 2021 gets underway, there has been significant elevation not only in the influence and importance of cybersecurity, but also in the human element of security which contributed to the cyber risks.

More than one month after the SolarWinds breach that impacted numerous organizations was first uncovered, new details of the sophisticated operation continue to trickle out.
