Cybersecurity researchers have identified several malicious packages across npm, Python, and Ruby ecosystems that leverage Discord as a command-and-control (C2) channel to transmit stolen data to actor-controlled webhooks. Webhooks on Discord are a way to post messages to channels in the platform without requiring a bot user or authentication, making them an attractive mechanism for…
Cybersecurity researchers have shed light on a previously undocumented threat actor called TA585 that has been observed delivering an off-the-shelf malware called MonsterV2 via phishing campaigns. The Proofpoint Threat Research Team described the threat activity cluster as sophisticated, leveraging web injections and filtering checks as part of its attack chains. “TA585 is notable because it
Despite daunting technical challenges, a quantum computer capable of breaking public-key encryption systems may only be a decade or two off.
OT and ICS systems indeed hold the crown jewels of critical infrastructure organizations, but unmonitored data sprawl is proving to be pure gold for increasingly brazen nation-state threat actors like Volt Typhoon, Pearce argues.
With artificial intelligence supplanting entry-level security jobs, new cyber professionals will have to up their game to stay competitive in the industry.
Every week, the cyber world reminds us that silence doesn’t mean safety. Attacks often begin quietly — one unpatched flaw, one overlooked credential, one backup left unencrypted. By the time alarms sound, the damage is done. This week’s edition looks at how attackers are changing the game — linking different flaws, working together across borders,…
Use this short checklist as a launchpad: adopt the basics consistently, strengthen the controls that matter most, and build routines that keep those protections current and effective.
Think your WAF has you covered? Think again.
