Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly evolved from a futuristic concept to a potent weapon in the hands of bad actors. Today, AI-based attacks are not just theoretical threats—they're happening across industries and outpacing traditional defense mechanisms.  The solution, however, is not futuristic. It turns out a properly designed identity security platform is able to deliver defenses

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has charged four current and former public companies for making "materially misleading disclosures" related to the large-scale cyber attack that stemmed from the hack of SolarWinds in 2020. The SEC said the companies – Avaya, Check Point, Mimecast, and Unisys – are being penalized for how they handled the disclosure process in the aftermath of

The Irish data protection watchdog on Thursday fined LinkedIn €310 million ($335 million) for violating the privacy of its users by conducting behavioral analyses of personal data for targeted advertising. "The inquiry examined LinkedIn's processing of personal data for the purposes of behavioral analysis and targeted advertising of users who have created LinkedIn profiles (members)," the Data

Blockchain, known for its role in cybersecurity, fintech, and cryptocurrencies, raises the question: Is it secure? Absolutely! With…

With the planned release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 10 in 2025, the PKCS #12 (Public-Key Cryptography Standards #12) files created in FIPS mode now use Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) cryptography by default. In other words, PKCS #12 files allow for backup or easy transfer of keying material between RHEL systems using FIPS approved algorithms.What are PKCS #12 files?PKCS #12 is currently defined by RFC 7292 and is a format for storing and transferring private keys, certificates, and miscellaneous secrets. Typically, PKCS #12 is used for transferring private RSA, EdDSA, o

Even after the ransom is paid, such attacks lead to spikes in strokes and heart attacks and increased wait times for patients.

An attacker compromised one of Fortinet's most sensitive products and mopped up all kinds of reconnaissance data helpful for future mass device attacks.

### Impact When a user disables two-factor authentication via the Panel, a `DELETE` request with their current password in a query parameter will be sent. While query parameters are encrypted when using TLS, many webservers (including ones officially documented for use with Pterodactyl) will log query parameters in plain-text, storing a user's password in plain text. If a malicious user obtains access to these logs they could *potentially* authenticate against a user's account; assuming they are able to discover the account's email address or username **separately**. ### Patches This problem has been patched by <https://github.com/pterodactyl/panel/commit/8be2b892c3940bdc0157ccdab16685a72d105dd1> on the `1.0-develop` branch and released under `v1.11.8` as a single commit on top of `v1.11.7` <https://github.com/pterodactyl/panel/commit/75b59080e2812ced677dab516222b2a3bb34e3a4> Patch file: <https://github.com/pterodactyl/panel/commit/8be2b892c3940bdc0157ccdab16685a72d105dd1.patch> ...

A government report's criticism of the 100x metric often used to justify fixing software earlier in development fuels a growing debate over pushing responsibility for secure code onto developers.

### Impact OpenRefine releases contain Google API authentication keys ("client id" and "client secret") which can be extracted from released artifacts. For instance, download the package for OpenRefine 3.8.2 on linux. It contains the file `openrefine-3.8.2/webapp/extensions/gdata/module/MOD-INF/lib/openrefine-gdata.jar`, which can be extracted. This archive then contains the file `com/google/refine/extension/gdata/GoogleAPIExtension.java`, which contains the following lines: ```java // For a production release, the second parameter (default value) can be set // for the following three properties (client_id, client_secret, and API key) to // the production values from the Google API console private static final String CLIENT_ID = System.getProperty("ext.gdata.clientid", new String(Base64.getDecoder().decode("ODk1NTU1ODQzNjMwLWhkZWwyN3NxMDM5ZjFwMmZ0aGE2M2VvcWFpY2JwamZoLmFwcHMuZ29vZ2xldXNlcmNvbnRlbnQuY29t"))); private static final String CLIENT_SECRET = System.getPro...
