The first confirmed case of autonomous cyberattack execution marks a new era in cybersecurity For decades, cybersecurity experts have warned about the rise of intelligent malware. Until now, that threat remained theoretical. But this week, researchers confirmed that a red-teaming AI developed in a controlled environment successfully authored, weaponized, and executed a zero-day exploit entirely without human intervention. The implications…
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.”…
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…
Fileless malware is a sophisticated form of malicious code that operates directly within a system’s memory, bypassing traditional file-based detection mechanisms. Unlike conventional malware, which relies on downloading malicious files to a hard drive, fileless malware exploits existing, legitimate software and system processes to infiltrate and compromise a system, leaving no trace on the physical storage. The absence of files…
Account takeover attacks represent a significant cyber threat in which cyber criminals use stolen credentials to gain unauthorised control. These credentials are obtained from the dark web and generally result from social engineering tactics, data breaches, and phishing attacks. Cyber criminals employ automated bots to systematically test stolen credentials against several websites, including travel, finance, e-commerce, and social platforms. This…
Cyber vandalism represents a significant and deliberate threat intended to perform malicious actions predominantly targeting websites and technological systems. Yet, it extends its reach to individuals and institutions, often instilling fear and undermining trust. Perpetrators of cyber vandalism called ‘cyber vandals’ employ various tools and techniques to deface websites, delete critical files, hijack user accounts, or disseminate spam and malicious…
Have you found yourself caught in the silent epidemic of cyber attacks? Ever wondered what happens when your data ends up in the wrong hands? Maybe you have received a notification that your passwords or privacy has been compromised and felt unsure about what to do next. Over the past six months, we’ve been researching, analysing, and reporting on these…
Honeypots are cybersecurity mechanisms strategically deployed to lure cybercriminals away from legitimate targets. They collect intelligence about adversaries’ identities, methods, and motivations. Honeypots can emulate any digital asset, including the software, servers, or the complete network itself, perfectly resembling the structural intricacies and content of their genuine counterparts with meticulous detail. This simulation convinces adversaries that they have successfully breached…
