Salt Typhoon underscores the urgent need for organizations to rapidly adopt modern security practices to meet evolving threats.

The popular generative AI (GenAI) model allows hallucinations, easily avoidable guardrails, susceptibility to jailbreaking and malware creation requests, and more at critically high rates, researchers find.

Apple has released an out-of-band security update for a vulnerability which it says may have been exploited in an "extremely sophisticated attack against specific targeted individuals.”

Android phishing apps are the latest, critical threat for Android users, putting their passwords in danger of new, sneaky tricks of theft.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) has quickly become the standard for securing business accounts. Once a niche security measure, adoption is on the rise across industries. But while it’s undeniably effective at keeping bad actors out, the implementation of MFA solutions can be a tangled mess of competing designs and ideas. For businesses and employees, the reality is that MFA sometimes feels

**According to the CVSS metric, user interaction is required (UI:R) and privileges required is Low (PR:L). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An authorized attacker with standard user privileges could place a malicious file on the machine running Visual Studio Code and then wait for the privileged victim to use certain JavaScript debugger functionality.

**According to the CVSS metrics, user interaction is required (UI:R) and privileges required is low (PR:L). What does that mean for this vulnerability?** An authenticated attacker would need to perform specific actions on a vulnerable system, then convince another user on that system to interact with the Windows Deployment Services functionality.

**According to the CVSS metric, successful exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to total loss of confidentiality (C:H)? What does that mean for this vulnerability?** This vulnerability discloses a user's NTLMv2 hash to the attacker who could use this to authenticate as the user.

**What kind of security feature could be bypassed by successfully exploiting this vulnerability?** An authenticated standard user is able to bypass user access control (UAC) promt.

**How could an attacker exploit this vulnerability?** To successfully exploit this remote code execution vulnerability, an attacker could send a malicious logon request to the target domain controller.
