Значительная часть похищенных средств в подобных кейсах не исчезает из системы, а переходит в режим длительного ожидания, оставаясь на адресах годами без какой-либо активности.

Кроме того, они нередко рассчитывают на рост стоимости украденных активов: спустя несколько лет похищенная криптовалюта может стоить в разы дороже.

В результате связанные адреса получают соответствующий риск-профиль и маркируются в аналитических базах как потенциально связанные с противоправной деятельностью.

Напротив, современные системы блокчейн-аналитики позволяют отслеживать перемещение средств даже спустя годы после хищения, выявляя связи между адресами и фиксируя попытки вывода через регулируемую инфраструктуру…

Интеграторы пережили и пандемию, и импортозамещение, но это не гарантирует им будущее.

Тем не менее казалось, что рост будет постоянным и стабильным, деньги не закончатся, заказчики сами будут приходить со своими проектами и запросами на многолетние контракты.

Но экономика в целом и рынок ИБ в частности продолжают жить.

Стабильная команда, уверенная и комфортная коммуникация, умение говорить как на языке инженеров, так и на языке бизнеса.

Конференция ЦИПР 2026Во 2 день работы ЦИПР на выставке были представлены другие новые технологические решения.

Она будет направлена на выявление новых уязвимостей и атак в области ИИ, интернета вещей и других перспективных технологий.

Такой формат, как и в прошлом году, позволил выровнять ожидания и сформировать более согласованное понимание того, как должна развиваться цифровая среда и какие решения в ней действительно используются.

Май 2026 года ознаменовался всплеском критических уязвимостей, затрагивающих как корпоративные, так и потребительские технологии.

CVE-2026-41103 – это уязвимость в плагине Microsoft SSO для Atlassian Jira и Confluence: ошибка в проверке SAML-утверждений позволяет неаутентифицированному злоумышленнику подделать SSO-ответ и повысить привилегии до администратора.

Последствия включают полный контроль над данными проектов, настройками доступа и возможную компрометацию интеграций с Microsoft Entra ID и внешними сервисами.

Это позволяет получить доступ к учётным записям пользователей, включая внешних клиентов, и использовать их для атак на связанные облачные приложения и API.

Тем самым платформа фактически расписалась в бессилии собственной архитектуры, сославшись на то, что восстановить бэкапы или связать данные старого профиля с новым технически «невозможно».

К примеру, на аккаунт вешается статус «Подозрительный аккаунт» или его внутренний аналог в коде, а сам аккаунт помещается в «теневой бан».

Несмотря на то, что в пункте Пользовательского Соглашения LiveLib прописано, что «Платформа предоставляется на условиях «как есть» (as is).

Поэтому, если техподдержка сама даёт рекомендацию, ведущую к уничтожению данных («заведите новый аккаунт»), то это квалифицируется как грубая халатность или умышленное введение в заблуждение пользователя.

В этой статье расскажем, как мы тестировали Traefik и постепенно готовим инфраструктуру к переходу на Gateway API без простоев и массового переписывания сервисов.

Установка нового контроллера в k8s-кластер рядом со старымТестирование на пилотном сервисе различных сценариев: Ingress API, Gateway API, TLS, маршрутизации и интеграций с backend-системами.

В таком случае нет большого смысла дважды переписывать конфигурации: сначала под Traefik + Ingress API, а потом под Gateway API.

Логичнее сразу переходить на Gateway API как на основное направление развития экосистемы Kubernetes.

Переход на Gateway API — это уже вопрос времени и ресурсов.

Главное – относиться к набору правил как к живой конфигурации: её нужно поддерживать и пересматривать по мере того, как меняется инфраструктура.

В сообщении компании отдельно отмечается, что атаки произошли после громкого судебного разбирательства между Meta и NSO Group, завершившегося в 2025 году.

Представители WhatsApp утверждают, что действия израильской компании нарушают судебное решение, которое прямо запрещает NSO Group атаковать WhatsApp и его пользователей.

Теперь в Meta намерены обратиться в суд с требованием привлечь NSO Group к ответственности за неуважение к решению суда.

Еще в далеком 2019 году представители WhatsApp подали в суд на NSO Group и обвинили компанию в пособничестве кибератакам, которые осуществлялись в интересах различных правительств в 20 странах мира, включая Мексику, ОАЭ и Бахрейн.

Специалисты «Лаборатории Касперского» обнаружили, что сразу несколько хактивистских группировок, которые раньше атаковали в основном российские организации, начали искать жертв в других странах.

Опираясь на найденные индикаторы, специалисты выявили другие атакованные инфраструктуры и обнаружили, что активность злоумышленников выходит далеко за пределы привычной «идеологической» повестки.

После этого злоумышленники размещали на машине жертвы веб-шелл fd.aspx, запускали PowerShell или cmd.exe, собирали данные о системе и загружали дополнительные инструменты.

Кроме того, исследователи отдельно отмечают, что хактивисты активно применяют в своих кампаниях EDR-киллеры (например, kil.exe, Killer.e…

Специалистам GitHub пришлось отключить 73 репозитория компании Microsoft, так как в них проник червь Miasma.

По данным исследователей из OpenSourceMalware и StepSecurity, атака началась с того, что злоумышленники получили доступ к учетной записи одного из контрибьюторов и добавили вредоносный коммит в репозиторий Azure/durabletask.

По мнению исследователей, это может говорить о том, что злоумышленники не потеряли доступ к ранее скомпрометированным учетным данным.

Напомним, что малварь Miasma считается вариацией червя Shai-Hulud, исходный код которого группировка TeamPCP опубликовала в открытом доступе в мае 2026 года.

В частности, в последние месяцы российские пользователи неоднократно жаловались на проблемы с GitHub, PyPI, Figma, а также репозиториями Debian и Rust.

При этом в Роскомнадзоре сообщали, что доступ к платформам не ограничивается.

Как утверждают собеседники издания, совещание носило установочный характер и в будущем таких встреч будет больше.

Предполагается, что в таких случаях доступ к необходимым ресурсам смогут восстанавливать в «ручном» режиме через взаимодействие с регулятором.

Но одной из главных тем встречи, по словам источников, стало создание единого «ГосVPN» со сложной архитектурой, через который разработчики смогут получать доступ к зарубежным ресурсам.

Исследователи обнаружили, что браузер Hola для Windows был скомпрометирован в ходе атаки на цепочку поставок.

Проблему выявили во время очередной проверки Hola в рамках сертификации AppEsteem.

Анализ показал, что этот компонент не проходил сертификацию, не имел цифровой подписи и временных меток, содержал обфусцированный код и обладал возможностями для записи в память.

Кроме того, в компании подчеркнули, что не обнаружили никаких признаков доступа к пользовательским данным или их кражи, а также иных свидетельств компрометации.

При этом представители Hola не раскрыли детали самой атаки, не сообщили, кто мог стоять за компрометацией цепочки поставок, а также не уточнили, затронул ли этот инци…

Разработчики OpenAI представили новый защитный режим для ChatGPT — Lockdown Mode.

В настоящее время Lockdown Mode постепенно развертывается среди владельцев персональных аккаунтов ChatGPT (включая бесплатные тарифы), а также доступен для пользователей ChatGPT Business.

Lockdown Mode призван усложнить последний этап таких атак — вывод данных за пределы системы.

Также Lockdown Mode не отключает память ChatGPT, не меняет параметры обучения моделей на пользовательских данных и не влияет на работу Codex.

В компании подчеркивают, что Lockdown Mode не защищает от самих промпт-инжектов и не предотвращает их попадание в обрабатываемый контент.

Малварь нацелена на роутеры с прошивкой DD-WRT, но также исследователи выявили версии для ARM, MIPS, PowerPC, SuperH, x86, x86_64 и других архитектур.

Two Russia-aligned cyber attack campaigns have continued to exploit a security flaw in WinRAR to target Ukrainian organisations, almost a year after patches for the vulnerability were released.

The activity has been attributed by Trend Micro to Earth Dahu (aka Gamaredon) and SHADOW-EARTH-066 (aka UAC-0226).

The findings show "how unmanaged software keeps an exploited entry point open long after the fix ships," Trend Micro researchers Hiroyuki Kakara and Feike Hacquebord said in an analysis published Monday.

"Earth Dahu used the vulnerability with an HTA-to-VBScript infection chain that delivered espionage modules," Trend Micro noted.

The Toronto worm is different in kind: the LLM is not the thing being attacked.

The worm's design routes LLM inference through any compromised GPU host it can reach.

Google has released security updates to address 74 vulnerabilities, including one that has come under active exploitation in the wild.

The high-severity vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-11645 (CVSS score: 8.8), has been described as an out-of-bounds memory access in V8, Chrome's JavaScript and WebAssembly engine.

A security researcher named "303f06e3" has been credited with discovering and reporting the flaw on April 27, 2026.

With the latest development, Google has addressed a total of five actively exploited Chrome zero-days since the start of the year.

A malicious website can work out which sites you visit and which apps you open, using nothing but JavaScript and the timing of your SSD.

The attack, called FROST, needs no native code, no extension, and no permission prompt.

Its SnailLoad attack inferred the sites and videos a victim loaded from network latency alone, no JavaScript at all.

Normally the operating system hides disk timing behind the page cache, serving repeated reads from memory so they never touch the drive.

FROST also only picks up activity on the same disk as its OPFS file.

"This is the Python equivalent of the npm install-hook problem that Shai-Hulud and Miasma repeatedly exploit," Socket explained.

However, the outcome is the same: Downloading and running the Bun runtime, followed by the execution of the JavaScript payload.

On top of that, the malware queries GitHub commits for the keyword "TheBeautifulSnadsOfTime" to extract a Base64-encoded string containing a JavaScript payload.

Security researchers have published a detailed, working exploit for a Linux kernel use-after-free that lets an unprivileged local user escalate to root and break out of a container.

The reachable setup is common: nf_tables plus unprivileged user namespaces, a Linux feature that lets an ordinary account act as root inside a private sandbox and reach kernel code it otherwise could not.

ESET APT Activity Report Q4 2025–Q1 2026 summarizes notable activities of selected advanced persistent threat (APT) groups documented by ESET researchers from October 2025 through March 2026.

During the monitored time frame, China-aligned threat actors remained highly active worldwide, conducting espionage campaigns shaped in part by geopolitical developments affecting Beijing’s economic and security interests.

The war in Iran that began in late February 2026 was the defining event for Iran-aligned activity during this period.

Russia-aligned threat actors continued to focus overwhelmingly on Ukraine and entities connected to the country’s defense efforts.

Our recent review of threat detections in Brazil surfaced BTMOB, an Android remote access trojan (RAT) that is less notable for detection volume than for the damage it can wreak.

BTMOB at a glanceFirst described in February 2025, BTMOB has evolved from the SpySolr malware.

The most-used password globally is exactly what you think it is: ‘123456.’ That’s according to NordPass’s latest annual report on passwords exposed in data breaches globally.

NordPass’s data suggests that there are many more sites that set limited password policies and allow trivial passwords like ‘123456’.

However, I think there may also be elements of legacy in the method used to calculate the most common passwords.

Breaking the cycleNow, how do we resolve this never-ending loop of negativity about passwords, along with the ridiculous situation that platforms still permit non-secure passwords?

There is a simple and effective way to resolve it: mandate complex passwords or, better yet, MFA.

In this interview with Help Net Security, Paras Malhotra, CISO at Starburst, explains how the company handles data governance across federated query environments.

This is the core tension in any federated query engine and something we think about constantly.

Starburst sits on top of dozens of data sources, S3, Snowflake, Delta Lake, relational databases, each with their own native access model.

It operates at the query engine layer, which means every query, regardless of which underlying system it touches, passes through a single policy evaluation before it ever reaches the source.

The most important one: AIDA’s access control is enforced at the query engine layer.

The same scanners work on malware, and malware carries a steady supply of its own bugs.

Meta claims it disrupted spear-phishing attempts linked to NSO Group and is asking a US federal court to hold the spyware vendor in contempt for allegedly violating an injunction that bars it from targeting WhatsApp and its users.

“We successfully disrupted NSO-linked social engineering attempts after investigating user reports,” Meta stated.

WhatsApp shared threat indicators associated with the campaign, saying they can help people determine whether they were targeted by NSO-linked social engineering attempts through text messages, email, WhatsApp messages, or other communication channels.

Last year, WhatsApp secured a verdict and permanent injunction against NSO Group.

If you’re a user—owner?—of this cryptocurrency, this is important:On May 29, the security researcher Taylor Hornby found a critical vulnerability in Zcash Orchard privacy pool using Claude Opus 4.8.

The Zcash team hired Hornby specifically to look for this kind of issue.

The Orchard pool is the newest and most advanced shielded transaction system in the cryptocurrency Zcash.

Introduced in 2022, it allows users to send and receive ZEC while keeping transaction details private.

The bug: a specific check that was supposed to validate transaction inputs wasn’t actually enforcing the rules it appeared to enforce.

Anthropic’s Project Glasswing UpdateIn April, Anthropic initated Project Glasswing.

The idea was to let companies use their new model to find and fix vulnerabilities in their own software.

It was a fantastic PR move, and so many press outlets have uncritically parroted Anthropic’s claims that it’s now common wisdom that Mythos is better at finding software vulnerabilities than other models.

In any case, Anthropic has published a Project Glasswing status report.

That Anthropic refuses to release details—that it just says “trust us”—is a big problem here.

Despite an unpopular Iran war and an even more unpopular Trump administration, college campus protests nationwide have gone silent.

It’s increasingly clear to us that these impacts are not incidental or ancillary to Trump administration policy.

Instead, we see a persistent strategy to maximize fear and chilling effects in ways that are corrosive to freedom and democracy.

Courts can block abuses of federal power, including illegal arrests, detentions and mass citizen databases.

But to resist chilling effects and their dangers over the long term, this would have to be the norm, not the exception.

But as KrebsOnSecurity observed in September 2025, those sanctions failed to target Stark’s remaining connection to the Internet — an Internet service provider based in the Netherlands called MIRhosting.

MIRhosting is operated by Andrey Nesterenko, a 39-year-old Russian native who runs the business out of the Netherlands.

And as our September 2025 report showed, WorkTitans was controlled by Nesterenko and a 57-year-old from Amsterdam named Youssef Zinad.

On top of that, WorkTitans was getting connectivity to the larger Internet solely through MIRhosting, where Zinad had worked previously.

“The transition to the.hosting was not intended to evade sanctions,” Nesterenko wrote.

Artificial intelligence platforms may be just as susceptible to social engineering as human beings, but they are proving remarkably good at finding security vulnerabilities in human-made computer code.

May’s Patch Tuesday is a welcome respite from April, which saw Microsoft fix a near-record 167 security flaws.

But at the end of April, Oracle announced it was switching to a monthly update cycle for critical security issues.

Chrome automagically downloads available security updates, but installing them requires fully restarting the browser.

For a more granular look at the Microsoft updates released today, checkout this inventory by the SANS Internet Storm Center.

The stated deadline for payment was initially set at May 6, but it was later pushed back to May 12.

For the past several years, security experts have tracked a series of massive DDoS attacks originating from Brazil and solely targeting Brazilian ISPs.

The company originated from protecting game servers against DDoS attacks and evolved into an ISP-focused DDoS mitigation provider.

But so-called “DNS reflection” attacks rely on DNS servers that are (mis)configured to accept queries from anywhere on the Web.

“We received and notified many Tier 1 upstreams regarding very very large DDoS attacks against small ISPs,” Nascimento said.

Nascimento flatly denied being involved in DDoS attacks against Brazilian operators to generate business for his company’s services.

A 24-year-old British national and senior member of the cybercrime group “Scattered Spider” has pleaded guilty to wire fraud conspiracy and aggravated identity theft.

FBI investigators tied Buchanan to the 2022 SMS phishing attacks after discovering the same username and email address was used to register numerous phishing domains seen in the campaign.

That same year, U.K. investigators found a device at Buchanan’s Scotland residence that included data stolen from SMS phishing victims and seed phrases from cryptocurrency theft victims.

Buchanan is the second known Scattered Spider member to plead guilty.

Two other alleged Scattered Spider members will soon be tried in the United Kingdom.

“This CVE can enable phishing attacks, unauthorized data manipulation, or social engineering campaigns that lead to further compromise,” Walters said.

Satnam Narang, senior staff research engineer at Tenable, said April marks the second-biggest Patch Tuesday ever for Microsoft.

Hackers linked to Russia’s military intelligence units are using known flaws in older Internet routers to mass harvest authentication tokens from Microsoft Office users, security experts warned today.

The spying campaign allowed state-backed Russian hackers to quietly siphon authentication tokens from users on more than 18,000 networks without deploying any malicious software or code.

Instead, they used known vulnerabilities to modify the Domain Name System (DNS) settings of the routers to include DNS servers controlled by the hackers.

An elusive hacker who went by the handle “UNKN” and ran the early Russian ransomware groups GandCrab and REvil now has a name and a face.

The Gandcrab ransomware affiliate program first surfaced in January 2018, and paid enterprising hackers huge shares of the profits just for hacking into user accounts at major corporations.

The Gandcrab team would then try to expand that access, often siphoning vast amounts of sensitive and internal documents in the process.

REvil never recovered f…

Experts say the wiper campaign against Iran materialized this past weekend and came from a relatively new cybercrime group known as TeamPCP.

TeamPCP then attempted to move laterally through victim networks, siphoning authentication credentials and extorting victims over Telegram.

Eriksen said it appears TeamPCP used access gained in the first attack on Aqua Security to perpetrate this weekend’s mischief.

“It’s a little all over the place, and there’s a chance this whole Iran thing is just their way of getting attention,” Eriksen said.

“While security firms appear to be doing a good job spotting this, we’re also gonna need GitHub’s security team to step up,” Cimpanu wrote.

The feds say the four botnets — named Aisuru, Kimwolf, JackSkid and Mossad — are responsible for a series of recent record-smashing distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks capable of knocking nearly any target offline.

The government alleges the unnamed people in control of the four botnets used their crime machines to launch hundreds of thousands of DDoS attacks, often demanding extortion payments from victims.

The oldest of the botnets — Aisuru — issued more than 200,000 attacks commands, while JackSkid hurled at least 90,000 attacks.

Aisuru emerged in late 2024, and by mid-2025 it was launching record-breaking DDoS attacks as it rapidly infected new IoT devices.

If you've ever received an out-of-the-blue message via LinkedIn from a recruiter offering some well-paid consultancy work, intelligence agencies have a message for you: be very careful.

According to the bulletin, entitled "Safeguarding Our Secrets", Chinese intelligence officers - or third parties acting on their behalf - are posing as employees of private consultancies, think tanks, and HR firms.

According to the intelligence agencies, targets do not need security clearances to be of use to Chinese spies.

Western agencies warn that just submitting a CV containing your employer history, specialist knowledge, and details of professional contacts has am intelligence value.

Hackers have been hijacking Instagram accounts at scale by exploiting Meta's AI support chatbot. And, as if that weren't bad enough, the technique required no technical skill whatsoever. Read more in my article on the Fortra blog.

This AI security flaw might be impossible to fix with Graham Cluley and special guest Tanya Janca.

Yeah, I've done some work with them in the past and they're actually sponsoring this episode of the podcast.

Turns out some quiet little permission that crept wider over 3 years, a policy exception that nobody had reviewed, the kind of thing that's invisible until it isn't.

I don't know if that was also exposed on the WebBucket, but yeah, it's additional information though, isn't it?

And I used to work at the Canadian Revenue Agency, so I know they're not following the policy because I wrote it.

Dutch police have arrested a 35-year-old man suspected of hacking into the computer systems of Amsterdam football giant Ajax, after the personal data of hundreds of thousands of supporters was put at risk.

However, it quickly emerged that the claim of a "few hundred" potential victims was wide of the mark, as it was reported that the incident could have exposed the personal details of around 300,000 registered Ajax supporters.

In short, the number of supporters whose details were exposed was around 1000 times larger than the club's initial estimate.

Ajax says that it has worked with external experts to patch the vulnerabilities, and has strengthened its security.

It is easy to imagine that …

The Play ransomware gang is claiming to have stolen data from US pillow manufacturer MyPillow, making off with private and personal confidential data.

The company denies it has been hit, and the Play ransomware gang claims otherwise.

The truth is likely to emerge quickly, as the deadline for payment listed by Play on its leak portal is reached tomorrow.

We'll know soon enough whether Friday's payment deadline from the Play ransomware group brings a data dump or a quiet anticlimax.

One thing is certain - ransomware gangs target anyone they think might pay, and strong defences are needed by all organisations.

Smashing Security, Episode 469: What Your Oura Ring Won't Tell You, with Graham Cluley and special guest Lesley Carhart.

Because one of the things, I don't know how many people know this, but you are actively into martial arts.

I don't know.

I don't know if it's a real martial art, but I don't want to get in that argument with anybody.

And this is just a prime example of really, really, you did that.

The FBI has issued an advisory warning about a phishing-as-a-service platform that has recently emerged, which can hijack Microsoft 365 accounts without ever stealing a password.

Kali365 is a subscription service for scammers that was first spotted in April 2026, and has been promoted largely through Telegram.

Subscribers to Kali365 have access to AI-generated phishing lures, automated campaign templates, real-time dashboards for tracking targets, and the ability to capture OAuth tokens.

If you've done that, you've used "device code flow."

And this is why the FBI's top recommendation is to block device code flow, with a conditional access policy in Microsoft Entra ID where appropriate.

For almost 20 years, stolen credentials have been the most common route for attackers into organizations, according to the Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR). But that's no longer the case. Read more in my article on the Fortra blog.

Smashing Security, episode 468: High-Speed Train Hacks and Homicidal Lawnmowers.

I've not, but also given— I don't think— In my imagination, in my mind, Taiwan's not a massive island.

I don't know.

Yeah, I don't think that's too cheeky.

I think that's a very good question because models do, as they get more capable, they tend to eat some types of software, right?

The advisory doesn't say the platform that was hacked was Canvas, and that the company concerned was Instructure.

The security breach was not just big news on cybersecurity blogs, it made headlines worldwide.

There are a few possible problems with paying an extortion gang and trusting that they will honour the deal.

Furthermore, extortionists might falsely claim to have access to compromising information, such as embarrassing photographs or videos of victims.

Having receive a ransom payment for its attack on Canvas, ShinyHunters and other extortion gangs are only likely to be further incentivised to launch similar attacks in future.

Prosecutors allege he is "Speedstepper" - the suspected main administrator of the notorious Dream Market dark web marketplace that operated from 2013 until its abrupt closure in 2019.

Dream Market's cryptocurrency wallets, holding millions of dollars worth in commission payments, went dormant after the site's closure.

But in November and December 2022, someone who had access to Dream Market's original private keys began to move funds around.

And, according to the indictment, those gold bars were shipped directly to Andresen's home address in Germany.

If the claims of prosecutors are true, it was a massive error by the man suspected of being the Dream Market kingpin.

The only weapon is the hackers' threat to release stolen data, or leave your systems permanently encrypted.

Instead, they are making threats to hurt their victims.

A study last year by identity security firm Semperis found that 40% of ransomware attacks saw criminals threatening physical violence against employees who refused to pay.

Some of the most disturbing instances of cybercrime spilling out into physical violence can be found where cryptocurrency and organised crime intertwine.

With physical threats seemingly becoming more common than ever before, it's clearly important for defenders to learn some lessons.

I don't know.

Yeah, that's it, that's it.

Now, one of those in your— I was about to say Filofax, but I don't think those are a thing anymore.

But you know, yeah, as you point out, a large part of this is through the same ecosystem.

He is professor of letters at a— I don't know which letters, I imagine all of them— at a university in Besançon.

One in eight UK workers admits to selling their company login credentials - or knowing someone who has - in the past 12 months. The really alarming bit? Their bosses are even more relaxed about it. Read more in my article on the Fortra blog.

Russia's military intelligence service, the GRU, directly controls who gets into Department 4, according to the leak.

It is GRU that is overseeing exams, and signing-off on graduates' postings, with some promising students scouted as early as secondary school.

Upon his graduation, he is said to have been assigned to the Fancy Bear hacking group, which was linked by the US Department of Justice over the high profile hack of the Democratic National Committee.

He has, it seems, gone from running the Fancy Bear hacking group to helping train its replacements.

What the report does is act as a useful reminder that the threat posed by groups like Fancy Bear and Sandworm is serious and organised.

Мы исследовали более 84 500 общественных точек доступа Wi-Fi в Мехико, Гвадалахаре и Монтеррее — и нам есть что вам рассказать об их безопасности.

Что и как мы исследовалиПройтись пешком по Мексике в поисках публичных Wi-Fi-точек было бы сложновато, хотя ради аналогичного исследования безопасности Wi-Fi в Париже мы именно так и поступили (кстати, ознакомиться с его результатами можно в материале Безопасен ли парижский Wi-Fi?).

Выяснилось, что WPS включен почти у половины (47%) точек доступа в Мехико, у 43% — в Гвадалахаре и 41% — в Монтеррее.

Поэтому наиболее безопасным вариантом станет использование сотовой связи для доступа в Интернет — и никакой Wi-Fi не понадобится.

В последнее время злоумышленники активно используют для фишинговых атак платформу Google AppSheet: через нее можно настроить почтовую рассылку, которая отправляется c почтового адреса, связанного с Google.

К сожалению, именно эта простота делает AppSheet привлекательным и для злоумышленников.

Ниже показано, как выглядит типичный путь от получения письма от якобы «карьерного портала Google» до кражи данных аккаунта:Аналогичные письма приходят от имени и других IT-гигантов.

Прежде всего смотрите не на отображаемое имя, а на адрес отправителя.

Куда более вероятно, что вы получите легитимную AppSheet-рассылку от имени небольшой компании или бизнеса, но уж точно не от IT-гигантов.

Поэтому неудивительно, что за прошедшие несколько месяцев исследователи кибербезопасности зафиксировали несколько случаев распространения вредоносного ПО под видом IPTV-приложений для Android.

В этом посте поговорим о том, что представляют собой IPTV-приложения, как с помощью их поддельных версий преступники распространяют вредоносное ПО, на что оно способно и, главное, как не стать жертвой.

Обычно они привлекают пользователей бесплатным или очень дешевым доступом к контенту, который может быть нелегко найти без дорогостоящих подписок — в первую очередь это трансляции различных спортивных мероприятий и, в частности, футбольных матчей.

Хотя многие компании осознанно внедряют ИИ для повышения качества и эффективности, еще быстрее в них появляются ИИ-инструменты, руководством не санкционированные.

ИИ встраивают в уже применяемые компанией решения сами разработчики ПО (например, Microsoft Copilot и Gemini), а также самовольно устанавливают сотрудники.

И риски, и способы их снижения отличаются для разных видов ИИ-систем.

Мы дадим обзор этой широкой темы, сфокусировавшись на инструментах детектирования и блокировки ИИ на двух уровнях.

This is the shift from access control to action control.

To move from access control to action control, Agent Gateway will help answer five questions before a request is allowed to proceed:Who is the agent?

With Agent Gateway, Cisco extends these capabilities into the agentic workflow.

Duo will identify the agent process itself using Duo identity, extending naturally from user MFA to agent and non-human identities.

Duo will identify the agent process itself using Duo identity, extending naturally from user MFA to agent and non-human identities.

Why we are changing our cadenceThe fundamental scale of vulnerability discovery has shifted.

Seven days before each release, PSIRT will publish the list of technologies and platforms included in that drop.

Cisco PSIRT will provide ‘bundled’ CVEs (Common Vulnerability Exposures) tied to CWE categories (Common Weakness Enumerations).

If a finding is being addressed in a scheduled release, upgrading should negate the need to implement corner-case mitigations that do not scale.

The Cisco PSIRT is the gold standard for vulnerability disclosure and will drive this revolution – with significantly expanded tooling and cadence built for the new rate of discovery.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) finalized its first PQC standards in 2024.

Cisco’s Quantum Resilience FrameworkCisco has developed a framework to articulate multiple levels of quantum resilience – each representing distinct capabilities designed to respond to new and emerging threats to confidential communication and product integrity.

It gives organizations a foundation as they progress toward more complete levels of quantum resilience.

Level 3 extends quantum resilience into identity and attestation.

Together, these levels give customers a practical way to evaluate quantum resilience.

Secure agents as digital workersThe second imperative is to secure the agents now entering the enterprise.

At Cisco Live, we are taking the next step by making DefenseClaw enterprise-ready and integrating it into Cisco Secure Client.

Context provided by the network is what allows security teams to understand behavior, enforce trust, and respond with confidence across domains.

That is how Cisco is helping customers become more resilient—and helping security teams protect, detect and respond with confidence in the agentic era.

A new era for security operationsSecurity in Cisco Cloud Control with AI Canvas is about bringing security work into the same operating model the rest of IT needs: unified context, governed action, and collaboration between people and AI agents.

And with Security in Cisco Cloud Control with AI Canvas, that new operating model is here.

Cisco Secure Access provides the foundation with zero trust network access, ensuring that only authenticated users on trusted devices can connect to the appropriate private applications.

Extending Zero Trust to Where Work HappensTraditional zero trust architectures are built around a simple principle: verify identity and device posture before granting access.

With Cisco Secure Access and Island, organizations can enforce policies not only at the point of access, but also throughout the user session.

Behind the scenes, device posture is evaluated in real time and shared with Cisco Secure Access, which determines whether access should be granted.

Early experiments revealed a significant volume of "benign" prompt injection text, which illustrates the complexity of distinguishing between functional threats and harmless content.

Many prompt injections were found in research papers, educational blog posts, or security articles discussing this very topic.

(Source: GitHub/swisskyrepo)When searching for prompt injections naively, the majority of detections are benign content – false positives in our case.

Malicious: ExfiltrationWe were able to observe a small number of prompt injections that aim at theft of data.

Recognizing the risks associated within the complex modem firmware, Pixel 9 shipped with mitigations against a range of memory-safety vulnerabilities.

Following our previous discussion on "Deploying Rust in Existing Firmware Codebases", this post shares a concrete application: integrating a memory-safe Rust DNS(Domain Name System) parser into the modem firmware.

Hook-up Rust to modem firmwareBefore building the Rust DNS library, we defined several Rust unit tests to cover basic arithmetic, dynamic allocations, and FFI to verify the integration of Rust with the existing modem firmware code base.

Pixel modem firmware already has a well-tested and specialized global memory allocation system to…

This project represents a significant step forward in our ongoing efforts to combat session theft, which remains a prevalent threat in the modern security landscape.

Session theft typically occurs when a user inadvertently downloads malware onto their device.

Once active, the malware can silently extract existing session cookies from the browser or wait for the user to log in to new accounts, before exfiltrating these tokens to an attacker-controlled server.

How DBSC WorksDBSC protects against session theft by cryptographically binding authentication sessions to a specific device.

The issuance of new short-lived session cookies is contingent upon Chrome proving possession of the correspondi…

Staying ahead of the latest indirect prompt injection attacks is critical to our mission of securing Workspace with Gemini.

In our previous blog “Mitigating prompt injection attacks with a layered defense strategy”, we reviewed the layered architecture of our IPI defenses.

Synthetic data generationAfter we discover, curate, and catalog new attacks, we use Simula to generate synthetic data expanding these new attacks.

We partition the synthetic data described above into separate training and validation sets to ensure performance is evaluated against held-out examples.

This process leverages the newly generated synthetic attack data described on this blog, to create a robust, end-to-end evalu…

Today we're announcing a new program in Chrome to make HTTPS certificates secure against quantum computers.

Instead, Chrome, in collaboration with other partners, is developing an evolution of HTTPS certificates based on Merkle Tree Certificates (MTCs), currently in development in the PLANTS working group.

Since MTC technology shares significant architectural similarities with CT, these operators are uniquely qualified to ensure MTCs are able to get off the ground quickly and successfully.

The Chrome Quantum-resistant Root Program will operate alongside our existing Chrome Root Program to ensure a risk-managed transition that maintains the highest levels of security for all users.

First, we…

For Majik, Scam Detection was the intervention he needed: “The warning is what made me pause and avoid a bad situation”.

As scammers evolve their tactics and create more convincing and personalized threats, we’re using the best of Google AI to stay one step ahead.

Expanding Scam Detection for Calls to Samsung DevicesTo help protect you during phone calls, Scam Detection alerts you if a caller uses speech patterns commonly associated with fraud.

Scam Detection for phone calls on Google Pixel devices is available in the U.S., Australia, Canada, India, Ireland, and the UK.

Powered by Gemini’s on-device model, Scam Detection provides intelligent protection against scam calls while ensuring that…

Upgrading Google Play’s AI-powered, multi-layered user protectionsWe’ve seen a clear impact from these safety efforts on Google Play.

As Android’s built-in defense against malware and unwanted software, Google Play Protect now scans over 350 billion Android apps daily.

This proactive protection constantly checks both Play apps and those from other sources to ensure they are not potentially harmful.

Looking aheadOur top priority remains making Google Play and Android the most trusted app ecosystems for everyone.

Thank you for being part of the Google Play and Android community as we work together to build a safer app ecosystem.

That’s why we're committed to providing multi-layered defenses that help protect you before, during, and after a theft attempt.

Today, we're announcing a powerful set of theft protection feature updates that build on our existing protections, designed to give you greater peace of mind by making your device a much harder target for criminals.

These updates are now available for Android devices running Android 16+.

More User Control for Failed Authentications: In Android 15, we launched Failed Authentication Lock, a feature that automatically locks the device's screen after excessive failed authentication attempts.

This feature is now getting a new dedicated enable/disable toggle in settings,…

These initiatives, driven by Ballots SC-080, SC-090, and SC-091, will sunset 11 legacy methods for Domain Control Validation.

What’s Domain Control Validation?

Domain Control Validation is a security-critical process designed to ensure certificates are only issued to the legitimate domain operator.

Sunsetted methods relying on email:Sunsetted methods relying on phone:Sunsetted method relying on a reverse lookup:For everyday users, these changes are invisible - and that’s the point.

These changes push the ecosystem toward standardized (e.g., ACME), modern, and auditable Domain Control Validation methods.

Partnership with ArmOur goal is to raise the bar on GPU security, ensuring the Mali GPU driver and firmware remain highly resilient against potential threats.

We partnered with Arm to conduct an analysis of the Mali driver, used on approximately 45% of Android devices.

This approach allowed us to roll out the new security policy broadly while minimizing the impact on developers.

This effort spans across Android and Android OEMs, and required close collaboration with Arm.

The Android security team is committed to collaborating with ecosystem partners to drive broader adoption of this approach to help harden the GPU.

We built on Gemini's existing protections and agent security principles and have implemented several new layers for Chrome.

To further bolster model alignment beyond spotlighting, we’re introducing the User Alignment Critic — a separate model built with Gemini that acts as a high-trust system component.

A flow chart that depicts the User Alignment Critic: a trusted component that vets each action before it reaches the browser.

The User Alignment Critic runs after the planning is complete to double-check each proposed action.

Looking forwardThe upcoming introduction of agentic capabilities in Chrome brings new demands for browser security, and we've approached this challenge with the same ri…

Android uses the best of Google AI and our advanced security expertise to tackle mobile scams from every angle.

Over the last few years, we’ve launched industry-leading features to detect scams and protect users across phone calls, text messages and messaging app chat notifications.

To help combat these types of financial scams, we launched a pilot earlier this year in the UK focused on in-call protections for financial apps.

The UK pilot of Android’s in-call scam protections has already helped thousands of users end calls that could have cost them a significant amount of money.

We’ve also started to pilot this protection with more app types, including peer-to-peer (P2P) payment apps.

Secure by DesignWe built Quick Share’s interoperability support for AirDrop with the same rigorous security standards that we apply to all Google products.
