Hashing is the process of converting an input, such as a key or a string of characters, into a fixed-size value or hash code for security and data integrity. This transformation is achieved through deterministic mathematical algorithms, ensuring that identical inputs always produce the same output, an essential property for consistent verification. While the terms “hashing” and “encryption” are sometimes…
Recently, a big security issue has been the talk of the tech community. The problem? Attackers uploaded a few harmful packages to the Python Package Index (PyPI), a popular software repository created for Python developers to share their code. But these packages didn’t serve as regular tools for developers. Instead, they are traps designed to steal something important: ”cloud tokens.”…
Your mobile number is more than just a communication tool—it’s a key to your digital life. From banking apps and emails to social media accounts, your phone number is often used as the primary method of identity verification and account recovery. But with this convenience comes a dangerous vulnerability: SIM swapping. Cybercriminals are increasingly exploiting this weak point through SIM…
One of the most prevalent vectors for the propagation of malware and other malicious software remains the seemingly innocuous email attachment. More specifically, attachments crafted in HyperText Markup Language (HTML) have emerged as a particularly favoured medium for cyber criminals. They use these attachments to execute a wide array of crimes. These range from identity theft, facilitated by the deployment…
Low battery moments often push people to use public USB charging stations—but that quick charge could open the door to a hidden cyber threat. Juice jacking is a method attackers use to steal data or install malware through compromised USB ports or cables. In this article, we’ll explain how the attack works and how to defend your devices from this…
The Vidar Stealer is a sophisticated strain of malware that has gained notoriety in recent years due to its highly effective methods of infiltrating devices and exfiltrating sensitive data. Designed primarily to pilfer personal information, Vidar Stealer has evolved into a formidable tool in the arsenal of malicious actors. Its stealthy and versatile nature allows it to remain under the…
Backdoor attacks represent one of the most insidious threats that businesses face. These attacks allow malicious actors to bypass traditional authentication mechanisms, granting unauthorised access to critical systems through hidden, covert entry points, commonly known as “backdoors.” Backdoors are typically designed to be undetectable, allowing the attacker to bypass normal authentication or security measures and access a system at will,…
When the economy tightens, small business owners often feel it first—and hardest. Sales dip, leads dry up, and suddenly, that shiny website you poured money into starts to look more like a cost center than a growth engine. But here’s the truth: your website can be your strongest asset during a downturn—if you treat it like a tool, not a…
Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) represents a strategic and integrated framework designed to optimise the security posture of applications throughout their entire life cycle. This multifaceted approach combines continuous monitoring, automated vulnerability assessment, and centralized policy enforcement, enabling organizations to gain a comprehensive, real-time understanding of the security dynamics inherent in their applications. By analyzing key components such as services,…
