Эффективный подход к киберустойчивости должен основываться на анализе влияния на бизнес (BIA) и оценке рисков, а не только на соблюдении регуляторных требований.

Сначала необходимо проанализировать приоритеты бизнеса, выявить критически важные услуги и их взаимосвязь, а также оценить потенциальный ущерб.

Завершающий этап — проверка эффективности через настольное тестирование планов и киберучения с вовлечением всей команды, а не только ключевых сотрудников.

В малых организациях важные сервисы можно идентифицировать быстро, тогда как в корпорациях требуется анализ сотен операций.

Мы, как и многие, используем LLM-решения, например у нас есть:Своя LLM-ка — не ChatGPT, конечно, но для внутренних задач вполне тянет.

Проблема не в том, что ML — зло, а в том, что мы, порой переоцениваем его непогрешимость.

Как бы пессимистично это не звучало, но похоже уязвимости будут с нами всегда — вопрос лишь в том, как мы с ними справляемся.

Причем мы прекрасно понимаем, что в перспективе должны быть готовы к работе с миллионами устройств в единой системе.

HackTheBox Labs (Starting Point) - Meow2.

Современные версии протокола, такие как SMB 2.0 и SMB 3.0, включают улучшенные механизмы безопасности по сравнению с предыдущими версиями.

Какую команду мы можем использовать в оболочке SMB для загрузки файлов, которые мы находим?

ЗаключениеВ этой статье мы подробно разобрали работу с протоколом SMB (Server Message Block) на платформе HTB Labs.

Поток запросов перегружает сервер, приводит к отказу в обслуживании, а иногда и к финансовым потерям.

Перед ним стоит задача отсеивать очевидный мусор, но не задушить легитимных пользователей.

Но если домофон пропустил кого-то подозрительного, дальше его встречает камера, а также система проверки, которая отслеживает поведение.

Мониторинг киберинцидентов, защита от DDoS и WAF — это базовый уровень кибербезопасности для компаний.

Запросы поступают не на один сервер, а на группу машин, между которыми Load Balancer равномерно распределяет нагрузку.

Это полезная информация в том числе и для злоумышленников, но в данном случае плюсы перевешивают минусы.

По сверке парольных хэшей можно определить, присутствует ли пароль пользователя в базах с раскрытыми паролями (пример механизма проверки для веб-сервиса).

Например, парольный менеджер Chrome автоматически сверяет пароли пользователя с базами скомпрометированных паролей.

Повторное использование паролей — одна из главных проблем в информационной безопасности.Пользователи используют одинаковые пароли в среднем для четырёх учётных записей на разных сайтах.

Регулярно менять пароли по графику, это признано устаревшей практикой.

Полиция Нового Южного Уэльса арестовала 27-летнюю бывшую студентку Университета Западного Сиднея, которая неоднократно взламывала системы вуза, в том числе ради более дешевой парковки.

К примеру, в мае 2024 года был подтвержден несанкционированный доступ к среде Microsoft Office 365, начавшийся еще в мае 2023 года, в результате чего пострадали данные 7500 человек.

Первая из них была связана со взломом одной из университетских систем SSO и длилась с января по февраль 2025 года, в результате чего были раскрыты данные примерно 10 000 учащихся.

Второй инцидент был связан с утечкой украденных у вуза данных в даркнет, что произошло еще 1 ноября 2024 года.

ИБ-специалист mr.d0x разработал атаку FileFix — новую версию атаки ClickFix, которая обманом вынуждает пользователя выполнять вредоносные команды через строку «Проводника» в Windows.

Обычно жертв заманивают на мошеннические сайты и там обманом заставляют скопировать в буфер и выполнить вредоносные команды PowerShell.

В ClickFix-атаках, когда пользователь нажимает на кнопку на мошенническом сайте, вредоносная PowerShell-команда автоматически копируется в буфер обмена Windows.

Mr.d0x нашел способ добиться того же результата, но без использования командной строки, применяя более привычный для пользователей интерфейс «Проводника» в Windows (File Explorer).

The threat actor behind the GIFTEDCROOK malware has made significant updates to turn the malicious program from a basic browser data stealer to a potent intelligence-gathering tool.

The activity, attributed to a hacking group it tracks as UAC-0226, involves the use of phishing emails containing macro-laced Microsoft Excel documents that act as a conduit to deploy GIFTEDCROOK.

Many users don't realize how common macro-enabled Excel files are in phishing attacks.

By sending stolen ZIP archives in small chunks, GIFTEDCROOK avoids detection and skips around traditional network filters.

In the final stage, a batch script is executed to erase traces of the stealer from the compromised host.

The company suspended the use of generative AI tools in Brazil in July 2024 in response to privacy concerns raised by the government.

"The service transmits the collected personal data of the users to Chinese processors and stores it on servers in China."

Threat hunters have discovered a network of more than 1,000 compromised small office and home office (SOHO) devices that have been used to facilitate a prolonged cyber espionage infrastructure campaign for China-nexus hacking groups.

The Operational Relay Box (ORB) network has been codenamed LapDogs by SecurityScorecard's STRIKE team.

"The LapDogs network has a high concentration of victims across the United States and Southeast Asia, and is slowly but steadily growing in size," the cybersecurity company said in a technical report published this week.

LapDogs' beating heart is a custom backdoor called ShortLeash that's engineered to enlist infected devices in the network.

A China-linked threat actor known as Mustang Panda has been attributed to a new cyber espionage campaign directed against the Tibetan community.

The cybersecurity division of the technology company said it observed the campaign earlier this month, with the attacks leading to the deployment of a known Mustang Panda malware called PUBLOAD.

TONESHELL, another oft-used Mustang Panda malware, functions similarly to Pubshell in that it's also used to create a reverse shell and execute commands on the compromised host.

"Hive0154 remains a highly capable threat actor with multiple active sub-clusters and frequent development cycles," the researchers said.

Their wide array of tooling, frequent devel…

Enter the Agentic AI SOC AnalystThe agentic AI SOC Analyst is a force multiplier that enables organizations to do more with the team and technology they already have.

Addressing the Skilled Analyst ShortageA key driver behind the business case for agentic AI in the SOC is the acute shortage of skilled security analysts.

AI SOC Analysts enable security teams to reduce risk, control cost, and deliver more with less.

Organizations that deploy agentic AI SOC Analysts can see upwards of a 90% reduction in false positive alerts that need analyst review.

AI SOC Analysts automate this work, mirroring how experienced analysts think and investigate.

A new campaign has been observed leveraging fake websites advertising popular software such as WPS Office, Sogou, and DeepSeek to deliver Sainbox RAT and the open-source Hidden rootkit.

"The malware payloads include the Sainbox RAT, a variant of Gh0st RAT, and a variant of the open-source Hidden rootkit," Netskope Threat Labs researcher Leandro Fróes said.

In July 2024, eSentire detailed a campaign that targeted Chinese-speaking Windows users with fake Google Chrome sites to deliver Gh0st RAT.

Then earlier this February, Morphisec disclosed another campaign that also leveraged bogus sites advertising the web browser that distributed ValleyRAT (aka Winos 4.0), a different version of Gh0st RA…

Threat intelligence firm GreyNoise is warning of a "notable surge" in scanning activity targeting Progress MOVEit Transfer systems starting May 27, 2025—suggesting that attackers may be preparing for another mass exploitation campaign or probing for unpatched systems.

Cybersecurity researchers have detailed a new campaign dubbed OneClik that leverages Microsoft's ClickOnce software deployment technology and bespoke Golang backdoors to compromise organizations within the energy, oil, and gas sectors.

ClickOnce is offered by Microsoft as a way to install and update Windows-based applications with minimal user interaction.

Although techniques like AppDomainManager injection have been used by China- and North Korea-linked threat actors in the past, the activity has not benefited formally attributed to any known threat actor or group.

The XSS flaw is automatically triggered when a victim opens a phishing email, causing the download of the ClickOne app.

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed a critical vulnerability in the Open VSX Registry ("open-vsx[.

]org") that, if successfully exploited, could have enabled attackers to take control of the entire Visual Studio Code extensions marketplace, posing a severe supply chain risk.

"By exploiting a CI issue a malicious actor could publish malicious updates to every extension on Open VSX."

Open VSX Registry is an open-source project and alternative to the Visual Studio Marketplace.

"Every single time an extension is installed, or an extension update fetched silently in the background, these actions go through Open VSX."

How does Docusign phishing work?

Cybercriminals are not spoofing fake Docusign emails, but instead registering real accounts with the company, and using its APIs to send out legitimate envelopes spoofing popular brands.

Regular phishing emails spoofing the Docusign brand and taking the user to phishing login pages.

Things workers should be taught to look out for include:Destination URLs: hover over any links/buttons in Docusign emails to check the destination URLs are legitimate.

Attachments: there should be no attachments in an initial Docusign email.

Microsoft’s Threat Intelligence Center has released a new tool called RIFT to help malware analysts identify malicious code hidden in Rust binaries.

While Rust is becoming more popular for its speed and memory safety, those same qualities make malware written in Rust harder to analyze.

Overview of RIFT Static Analyzer (Source: Microsoft)Why Rust malware is hard to analyzeTo show the challenge, Microsoft ran a test.

“Currently, the plugins are only developed for Ida Pro and tested on Ida Pro >=9.0.

Pattern matching inside RIFTRIFT uses two main techniques to help analysts spot library code in Rust binaries: FLIRT signatures and binary diffing.

McGranahan also points out that human expertise remains essential, and we can’t depend on AI alone to protect cloud environments.

One concern with using an AI pentesting tool is AI tends to be a black box.

For vishing attacks AI can be used to mimic the voice of someone a target might expect to talk to.

Do you see gaps in cloud provider shared responsibility models when it comes to AI security?

When it comes to AI security, it is crucial to monitor data flows, track model versions, and log interactions to identify potential breaches.

Gartner projects that by 2028, organizations enriching their Security Operations Center (SOC) data with exposure insights will reduce the frequency and impact of cyberattacks by 50%.

Bridging the gap between reactive discovery and proactive exposure management through enriched security data is key to getting ahead of threats.

A new report from Accenture says AI could help reverse that trend, but only if European companies move faster and invest more boldly.

Many organizations in Europe are stuck in pilot mode, with AI adoption often limited to short-term tools rather than long-term change.

As geopolitical tensions rise and U.S. control over cloud and AI infrastructure grows, can Europe build a more independent, secure AI ecosystem of its own?

AI adoption in Europe remains cautious and unevenMany companies in Europe are still in the early stages of AI adoption, often focusing on small, low-risk tools instead of scaling transformative initiatives.

In this Help Net Security video, Arun Shrestha, CEO of BeyondID, explains how AI agents, now embedded in daily operations, are often over-permissioned, under-monitored, and invisible to identity governance systems.

With a special focus on the healthcare sector, Shrestha outlines the real-world risks, from HIPAA violations to compromised patient safety, and offers five actionable steps to manage non-human identities before they become your next breach.

Supply chain risks remain top-of-mind for the vast majority of CISOs and cybersecurity leaders, according to SecurityScorecard.

Attackers understand this leverage, making the supply chain an increasingly attractive entry point.

Despite obvious risks, most companies are not closely monitoring the deeper layers of their supply chain for cybersecurity threats.

Yet breaches persist because third-party risk management remains largely passive, focused on assessments and compliance checklists rather than action.

SOC teams face data overload, making it hard to prioritize threats, and struggle with limited vendor engagement.

In fact, 6 out of 10 people say they’ve been told not to talk about a cybersecurity incident at their workplace.

69% of C-level executives say they’ve been told not to speak up about a cybersecurity incident, compared to 46% of mid-level managers.

Also, real cyber resilience isn’t just about using AI tools.

When turnover rises, organizations struggle to keep up with important proactive tasks like managing assets, applying patches, and improving security overall.

Effective cybersecurity not only stops attacks but also continuously reduces risk and ensures ongoing compliance across the organization, ” Florescu concluded.

What’s even more concerning is how rarely these serious vulnerabilities are fixed.

In contrast, industries such as entertainment, financial services, and information services tend to have fewer serious vulnerabilities.

Leaders push for a GenAI pause while practitioners press onThis concerning vulnerability landscape persists despite widespread awareness of GenAI-related risks.

Legitimate UDP-based transmissions are used in especially time-sensitive communications, such as those for video playback, gaming applications, and DNS lookups.

UDP flood attacks send extremely high volumes of packets to random or specific ports on the target IP.

UDP floods typically send large numbers of datagrams to multiple ports on the target system.

The target system, in turn, must send an equal number of data packets back to indicate the ports aren’t reachable.

Eventually, the target system buckles under the strain, resulting in legitimate traffic being denied.

Self-Driving Car Video FootageTwo articles crossed my path recently.

First, a discussion of all the video Waymo has from outside its cars: in this case related to the LA protests.

Second, a discussion of all the video Tesla has from inside its cars.

Lots of things are collecting lots of video of lots of other things.

How and under what rules that video is used and reused will be a continuing source of debate.

The variations seem to be endless.

Here’s a fake ghostwriting scam that seems to be making boatloads of money.

This is a big story about scams being run from Texas and Pakistan estimated to run into tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars, viciously defrauding Americans with false hopes of publishing bestseller books (a scam you’d not think many people would fall for but is surprisingly huge).

In January, three people were charged with defrauding elderly authors across the United States of almost $44 million ­by “convincing the victims that publishers and filmmakers wanted to turn their books into blockbusters.”

But it may still be used whenever it has an advantage over humans in one of four dimensions: speed, scale, scope and sophistication.

AI models can do the job blazingly fast, a capability with important industrial applications.

AI models can do this for every single product, TV show, website and internet user.

Modern AI systems use a radically different approach: Deep learning systems built from many-layered neural networks take account of complex interactions—often many billions—among many factors.

Equally, when speed, scale, scope and sophistication are not primary barriers, it makes less sense to use AI.

Paragon Spyware used to Spy on European JournalistsParagon is a Israeli spyware company, increasingly in the news (now that NSO Group seems to be waning).

Citizen Lab caught them spying on multiple European journalists with a zero-click iOS exploit:On April 29, 2025, a select group of iOS users were notified by Apple that they were targeted with advanced spyware.

Among the group were two journalists that consented for the technical analysis of their cases.

Ukraine has seen nearly one-fifth of its Internet space come under Russian control or sold to Internet address brokers since February 2022, a new study finds.

For example, Ukraine’s incumbent ISP Ukrtelecom is now routing just 29 percent of the IPv4 address ranges that the company controlled at the start of the war, Kentik found.

From a website’s perspective, the traffic from a proxy network user appears to originate from the rented IP address, not from the proxy service customer.

However, proxy services also are massively abused for hiding cybercrime activity because they can make it difficult to trace malicious traffic to its original source.

The FBI says a newer version of DanaBot was used for espionage, and that many of the defendants exposed their real-life identities after accidentally infecting their own systems with the malware.

Initially spotted in May 2018 by researchers at the email security firm Proofpoint, DanaBot is a malware-as-a-service platform that specializes in credential theft and banking fraud.

The government says the malware infected more than 300,000 systems globally, causing estimated losses of more than $50 million.

“In some cases, such self-infections appeared to be deliberately done in order to test, analyze, or improve the malware,” the criminal complaint reads.

KrebsOnSecurity last week was hit by a near record distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack that clocked in at more than 6.3 terabits of data per second (a terabit is one trillion bits of data).

For reference, the 6.3 Tbps attack last week was ten times the size of the assault launched against this site in 2016 by the Mirai IoT botnet, which held KrebsOnSecurity offline for nearly four days.

Forky denied being involved in the attack on KrebsOnSecurity, but acknowledged that he helped to develop and market the Aisuru botnet.

GitGuardian’s systems constantly scan GitHub and other code repositories for exposed API keys, and fire off automated alerts to affected users.

GitGuardian’s Eric Fourrier told KrebsOnSecurity the exposed API key had access to several unreleased models of Grok, the AI chatbot developed by xAI.

“The credentials can be used to access the X.ai API with the identity of the user,” GitGuardian wrote in an email explaining their findings to xAI.

xAI told GitGuardian to report the matter through its bug bounty program at HackerOne, but just a few hours later the repository containing the API key was removed from GitHub.

“The fact that this key was publicly exposed for two months and granted access …

A 23-year-old Scottish man thought to be a member of the prolific Scattered Spider cybercrime group was extradited last week from Spain to the United States, where he is facing charges of wire fraud, conspiracy and identity theft.

Scattered Spider is a loosely affiliated criminal hacking group whose members have broken into and stolen data from some of the world’s largest technology companies.

His extradition to the United States was first reported last week by Bloomberg.

In August 2022, KrebsOnSecurity reviewed data harvested in a months-long cybercrime campaign by Scattered Spider involving countless SMS-based phishing attacks against employees at major corporations.

The whistleblower said accounts created for DOGE at the NLRB downloaded three code repositories from GitHub.

Berulis said the new DOGE accounts had unrestricted permission to read, copy, and alter information contained in NLRB databases.

Berulis said he discovered one of the DOGE accounts had downloaded three external code libraries from GitHub that neither NLRB nor its contractors ever used.

Elez was among the first DOGE employees to face public scrutiny, after The Wall Street Journal linked him to social media posts that advocated racism and eugenics.

KrebsOnSecurity sought comment from both the NLRB and DOGE, and will update this story if either responds.

The NLRB whistleblower said the unusual large data outflows coincided with multiple blocked login attempts from an Internet address in Russia that tried to use valid credentials for a newly-created DOGE user account.

Berulis said the new DOGE accounts had unrestricted permission to read, copy, and alter information contained in NLRB databases.

The DOGE staffers did not speak with Berulis or anyone else in NLRB’s IT staff, but instead met with the agency leadership.

Berulis said the container caught his attention because he polled his colleagues and found none of them had ever used containers within the NLRB network.

The message informed NLRB employees that two DOGE representatives would be …

Suspected high-ranking members of one of the world's largest online marketplaces for leaked data have been arrested by French police.

According to local media reports, French cybercrime cops detained four prominent members of the BreachForums site.

Fitzpatrick was later linked to the leak online of over 200,000 BreachForums members' personal information.

Investigators are thought to believe that the five men arrested in France are the same individuals who took over the running of BreachForums following the arrest of Fitzpatrick.

What is the SafePay ransomware?

SafePay is a relatively new ransomware threat that was first observed around September 2024.

Like other ransomware, SafePay encrypts victims' files so they cannot be accessed, and then demands the payment of a cryptocurrency ransom for their recovery.

In the month of May 2025 alone, 70 ransomware attacks were linked to Safepay, accounting for 18% of the total.

So, how can my business protect itself from the SafePay ransomware?

Meanwhile, 60% of African countries report an increase in digital sextortion attacks, where criminals use either stolen or AI-generated sexual images to blackmail their targets.

Against this tidal wave of cybercrime, Africa appears to be a continent which is barely able to defend itself.

You get the impression that when it comes to the fight against cybercrime, Africa is outgunned and underfunded.

Over 86% of African law enforcement agencies reported insufficient international cooperation on cybercrime investigations, while nearly 90% cited a lack of strong public-private partnerships.

Clearly there has been some good work done by law enforcement agencies who are in need of great resources.

Because apparently being asked to explain how your social media platform handles hate speech and misinformation is an unconstitutional burden.

New York state’s law requires social media companies to report how they moderate hate speech and disinformation.

It just says “Tell us what your moderation policies are, and how you enforce them.”Which seems reasonable to me.

The one thing that is clear is just what a hellhole Twitter is these days, as its law suit shines a spotlight on once again.

Misinformation and disinformation aren’t just problems for society – they are also tools in the arsenal of bad actors.

Krispy Kreme, the dispenser of delectable doughnuts, has revealed that an astonishingly wide range of personal information belonging to past and present employees, as well as members of their families, was accessed by hackers during a cyber attack last year.

To its credit, Kreme's website now contains a large banner on its home page which links to information about the data breach.

In modern warfare, it’s not just about who has the biggest bombs — it’s about who controls the story.

Iranian state TV was hacked on Wednesday night, and instead of the usual government-approved programming, viewers were shown footage of women’s protests from 2022, and urged to rise up against the regime and take to the streets.

But more than that, it was further evidence that cyberwarfare also has its part to play in trying to control the narrative.

Normal programming was returned within a few minutes, and Tehran blamed the attack on Israeli-backed hackers.

In a dramatic raid at a hotel in central Pattaya this week, Thai police have unearthed a criminal gang that was operating a ransomware and illicit gambling operation.

At 11:30pm local time on Monday 16 June, authorities conducted a floor-by-floor search of the eight-storey Antai Holiday Hotel, after it had been tipped off about suspected illegal activity.

There is currently a near-blanket ban on gambling in Thailand, with the exception of betting on horse races and the government-sponsored lottery.

Perhaps not unsurprisingly, when I visited a hotel booking site to see if I could reserve a room at the Antai Holiday Hotel, I was told that it was not taking reservations at the moment.

It’s not much of an offer – how often does someone spend £40 in a shop at Co-op?

Как сохранить passkeys на аппаратный ключ-токен?

Кроме того, производители всех ОС видят в passkeys хорошую возможность покрепче привязать к себе пользователя, поэтому опция использования аппаратного ключа может быть скрыта в глубинах интерфейса.

Для создания ключа доступа на токене придется каждый раз нажимать малозаметную ссылку Other Options для macOS/iOS или Different Device для Android, чтобы выбрать вариант с аппаратным ключом.

По умолчанию Windows сохраняет passkeys в локальном защищенном хранилище на компьютере, и если забыть выбрать сохранение в свой менеджер паролей, то ключ доступа не будет доступен на других устройствах.

Впрочем, почти всегда при ошибке работы с passkeys сайты п…

Цифровизация бизнеса, особенно малого и среднего, позволяет быстро его масштабировать, повысить комфорт клиентов и выйти на новые рынки.

Чтобы ответить на этот вопрос, мы изучили отчет INTERPOL’s 2025 Africa Cyberthreat Assessment Report.

Инциденты ransomwareИз заголовков в прессе может сложиться впечатление, что атаки вымогателей в основном нацелены на крупные организации.

Статистика данного отчета это опровергает — и число атак, и реальный финансовый ущерб значительны во всех сегментах бизнеса.

Но их целями становятся и соотечественники — в первую очередь организации из финансового сектора, а также те, кто участвует в международной торговле.

Насколько безопасны и удобны passkeysПеред тем как переходить на passkeys, нужно решить, насколько ключи доступа будут удобны конкретно в вашем случае.

При этом все равно порой будут возникать какие-то несовместимости и интерфейсные странности на сайтах и в приложениях.

Какие недостатки есть у passkeysПринимая решение о переходе на ключи доступа и выбирая, как их хранить, нужно учитывать несколько важных недостатков passkeys.

Достаточно зайти в каждом сервисе в его настройки и в подразделе «Безопасность» найти опцию «Создать passkey».

В Chrome — если вы сохраняете ключи доступа в менеджере паролей Google, то с компьютера ими можно управлять через сайт google.com.

CVE-2025-34509 — получение доступа через предустановленную учетную записьВ CMS Sitecore имеется несколько дефолтных учетных записей, в числе которых sitecore\ServicesAPI.

Установка данного модуля необходима для работы ряда расширений Sitecore, например она обязательна при использовании Sitecore Experience Accelerator (одного из самых популярных расширений для этой CMS).

Как защититься от атак на Sitecore Experience PlatformПатчи, устраняющие три эти уязвимости, были выпущены еще в мае 2025 года.

Если ваша компания использует Sitecore, в особенности в сочетании с Sitecore PowerShell Extensions, мы рекомендуем как можно скорее обновить CMS.

Как SparkKitty попадает на устройстваСтилер распространяется двумя способами: в дикой природе — то есть на безымянных просторах Интернета, и в официальных магазинах приложений — App Store и Google Play.

Как бы то ни было, это уже второй случай проникновения трояна в App Store, и в этот раз мы также предупредили компанию (первым был SparkCat).

С Google Play все гораздо проще, там вредоносные приложения встречаются регулярно, и мы в блоге Kaspersky Daily частенько пишем об этом.

Разумеется, никаких смешных видео в этой версии TikTok не оказалось, только очередной магазин, как и в Android-версии.

Что это за утечка и что нужно сделать прямо сейчас?

Что за утечка?

Особое внимание в этой истории уделено свежести данных: журналисты утверждают, что в 16 млрд не входят самые крупные утечки, про которые мы писали в блоге Kaspersky Daily.

Это и в самом деле набирающая силы угроза.

Да, мы достоверно не знаем, что это за утечка, чьи данные в ней есть.

Исследователи опубликовали технические детали и код, демонстрирующий эксплуатацию уязвимости (PoC) CVE-2025-6019 в библиотеке libblockdev, которая позволяет атакующему получить права root в большинстве дистрибутивов Linux.

Библиотека libblockdev служит для низкоуровневых операций с блочными устройствами (например, с жесткими дисками) в Linux.

Почти все современные популярные сборки Linux включают udisks — энтузиасты уже проверили возможность эксплуатации уязвимости CVE-2025-6019 на Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora и openSUSE.

CVE-2025-6018 присутствует как минимум в openSUSE Leap 15 и SUSE Linux Enterprise 15, но может быть релевантна и для других сборок.

С изобретением eSIM (встроенных цифровых SIM-карт), поддерживаемых большинством современных смартфонов, возня с физическими «симками» осталась в прошлом, но по-прежнему приходилось искать подходящую для нужного региона одноразовую eSIM и для каждой поездки делать это заново.

Данные, идентифицирующие абонента, теперь не зашиваются в чип SIM-карты при ее производстве, а передаются оператором абоненту в зашифрованном виде и записываются в eSIM на его устройстве.

На установку и активацию eSIM уйдет несколько минут, а сделать это можно как в стране назначения, так и дома.

По умолчанию eSIM начинает работать в момент покупки, и для краткосрочных тарифов с этого момента начинает отсчитываться срок…

Если проект использует устаревшие зависимости и в целом не идеален с точки зрения ИБ, лучше, конечно, выбрать что-то иное.

Практически в любом ПО и в любой индустрии потребуется аудит соответствия лицензионным требованиям.

Благодаря анализу SBOM/SCA можно собрать все лицензии не только на ПО, но ни на его зависимости, а затем убедиться, что ваша модель использования не нарушает ни одну из лицензий.

Июньским вторничным обновлением компания Microsoft среди прочих проблем закрыла CVE-2025-33053, RCE-уязвимость в Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV, расширении протокола HTTP).

Что за уязвимость CVE-2025-33053 и что такое WebDAV?

Поддержка нового протокола была реализована в том числе в штатном для Windows браузере Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Ряд его механизмов до сих пор используется в сторонних приложениях, да и в новом браузере Microsoft Edge.

Стоит как можно скорее обновить операционную систему, благо Microsoft выпустила патчи даже для устаревших Windows Server 2012 и Windows 8 (найти их можно в описании CVE-2025-33053).

Эксперты «Лаборатории Касперского» выпустили два отчета, где подробно рассказали, как атакуют зумеров, которые любят игры, кино, сериалы и аниме.

У нас есть объяснение, почему именно эти игры в топе и геймеров, и злоумышленников: они реиграбельны, то есть геймеры могут возвращаться в них когда угодно и сыграть как в первый раз.

Поддельные инсталляторы наводнили игровые форумы, чаты в Signal и Telegram, каналы в Discord и популярные файлообменники.

Как защищаться зумерамТочно так же, как и всем остальным, кто любит сериалы, игры, кино, аниме и в целом активно пользуется Интернетом.

Загружайте игры, сериалы и аниме только из официальных источников .

Новая атака, предположительно связанная с печально известной группировкой APT31, продолжается, она опасна своей скрытностью и необычным способом защиты от нее, поэтому важно разобраться, зачем злоумышленникам роутеры и как защищаться от хакерских трюков.

Они направляют все запросы на роутер, а тот переадресует данные атакуемому компьютеру.

Использовать для майнинга роутер не очень эффективно, но, когда злоумышленник не платит ни за электричество, ни за технику, ему это все равно выгодно.

В SIEM всегда важно адаптировать сбор и обработку данных к реалиям организации — и собственная OSS-система предлагает для этого бесконечные возможности.

Why This Is a Substantial ShiftThese new AI agents don’t just run code; they read, reason, and make decisions based on the words we use.

Even more concerning, some AI agents can rewrite their own instructions, use unfamiliar tools, or change their behavior in real time.

Least Privilege: Apply zero trust principles by restricting AI agents to minimum necessary permissions and tools.

Network Segmentation: Isolate AI agents in separate subnets to limit lateral movement if compromised.

The New Zero Trust ModelTraditional zero trust focused on “never trust, always verify” for users and devices.

In this blog you will hear directly from Corporate Vice President and Deputy Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) for AI, Yonatan Zunger, about how to build a plan to deploy AI safely.

How do you deploy AI safely?

As Microsoft’s Deputy CISO for AI, my day job is to think about all the things that can go wrong with AI.

If you’re reading this, you’ve likely been asked to do something similar in your own organization—to develop AI systems for your own use, or deploy ones that you’ve acquired from others.

AI-specific principlesWhen it comes to building AI systems, we’ve uncovered a few rules that are exceptionally useful.

Our industry needs to continue working together on identity standards for agent access across systems. Read about how Microsoft is building a robust and sophisticated set of agents.

The Chrome Root Program Policy states that Certification Authority (CA) certificates included in the Chrome Root Store must provide value to Chrome end users that exceeds the risk of their continued inclusion.

To safeguard Chrome’s users, and preserve the integrity of the Chrome Root Store, we are taking the following action.

Apple policies prevent the Chrome Certificate Verifier and corresponding Chrome Root Store from being used on Chrome for iOS.

Beginning in Chrome 127, enterprises can override Chrome Root Store constraints like those described in this blog post by installing the corresponding root CA certificate as a locally-trusted root on the platform Chrome is running (e.g., install…

Google Quantum AI's mission is to build best in class quantum computing for otherwise unsolvable problems.

In 2019, using the same physical assumptions – which consider qubits with a slightly lower error rate than Google Quantum AI’s current quantum computers – the estimate was lowered to 20 million physical qubits.

Normally more error correction layers means more overhead, but a good combination was discovered by the Google Quantum AI team in 2023.

Another notable error correction improvement is using "magic state cultivation", proposed by the Google Quantum AI team in 2024, to reduce the workspace required for certain basic quantum operations.

These algorithms can already be deployed to d…

Tech support scams are an increasingly prevalent form of cybercrime, characterized by deceptive tactics aimed at extorting money or gaining unauthorized access to sensitive data.

Tech support scams on the web often employ alarming pop-up warnings mimicking legitimate security alerts.

Chrome has always worked with Google Safe Browsing to help keep you safe online.

Standard Protection users will also benefit indirectly from this feature as we add newly discovered dangerous sites to blocklists.

Beyond tech support scams, in the future we plan to use the capabilities described in this post to help detect other popular scam types, such as package tracking scams and unpaid toll scams.
