The U.S. government today imposed economic sanctions on Funnull Technology Inc., a Philippines-based company that provides computer infrastructure for hundreds of thousands of websites involved in virtual currency investment scams, commonly known as “pig butchering." In January 2025, KrebsOnSecurity detailed how Funnull was being used as a content delivery network that catered to cybercriminals seeking to route their traffic through U.S.-based cloud providers.

### Summary [Amazon Redshift Python Connector](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/redshift/latest/mgmt/python-redshift-driver.html) is a pure Python connector to Redshift (i.e., driver) that implements the [Python Database API Specification 2.0](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/). When the Amazon Redshift Python Connector is configured with the BrowserAzureOAuth2CredentialsProvider plugin, the driver skips the SSL certificate validation step for the Identity Provider. ### Impact An insecure connection could allow an actor to intercept the token exchange process and retrieve an access token. **Impacted versions:** >=2.0.872;<=2.1.6 ### Patches Upgrade Amazon Redshift Python Connector to version 2.1.7 and ensure any forked or derivative code is patched to incorporate the new fixes. ### Workarounds None ### References If you have any questions or comments about this advisory we ask that you contact AWS/Amazon Security via our vulnerability reporting page [1] or directly via em...

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered risky default identity and access management (IAM) roles impacting Amazon Web Services that could open the door for attackers to escalate privileges, manipulate other AWS services, and, in some cases, even fully compromise AWS accounts. "These roles, often created automatically or recommended during setup, grant overly broad permissions, such as full S3

Cisco Talos built on Tenable’s discovery of a Google Cloud Platform vulnerability to uncover how attackers could exploit similar techniques across AWS and Azure.

Artificial intelligence (AI) workloads are revolutionizing the industry, impacting healthcare, finance services, national security and autonomous systems. As part of this revolution, organizations are increasingly moving their AI workloads to the cloud, taking advantage of its scalability, flexibility and cost-effectiveness. Of course this transition to the cloud brings new challenges around data privacy, intellectual property and regulation compliance. Existing virtual machines (VMs) provide isolation between workloads, but they cannot protect workloads from privileged users and software com
