In many science fiction movies, the crew asks a computer to solve a problem. The computer comes on with a calm voice to introduce possible solutions. The crew listens carefully and continues the conversation as if talking to a colleague. This was a scientific fantasy not too long ago. Many kids dreamed about the ability to have a computer help them navigate the spaceship in uncharted territories. Fast forward to 2023, and this is no longer a sci-fi imagining but rather a reality. Yes, we are talking about the introduction and wide adoption of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI).This tec

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) warned that threat actors deploying the AndroxGh0st malware are creating a botnet for "victim identification and exploitation in target networks." A Python-based malware, AndroxGh0st was first documented by Lacework in December 2022, with the malware

A 29-year-old Ukrainian national has been arrested in connection with running a “sophisticated cryptojacking scheme,” netting them over $2 million (€1.8 million) in illicit profits. The person was apprehended in Mykolaiv, Ukraine, on January 9 by the National Police of Ukraine with support from Europol and an unnamed cloud service provider following “months of intensive collaboration.” “A cloud

Ubuntu Security Notice 6577-1 - Jana Hofmann, Emanuele Vannacci, Cedric Fournet, Boris Kopf, and Oleksii Oleksenko discovered that some AMD processors could leak stale data from division operations in certain situations. A local attacker could possibly use this to expose sensitive information. It was discovered that a race condition existed in the Linux kernel when performing operations with kernel objects, leading to an out-of-bounds write. A local attacker could use this to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code.

A new Python-based hacking tool called FBot has been uncovered targeting web servers, cloud services, content management systems (CMS), and SaaS platforms such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft 365, PayPal, Sendgrid, and Twilio. “Key features include credential harvesting for spamming attacks, AWS account hijacking tools, and functions to enable attacks against PayPal and various

SSH-Snake is a powerful tool designed to perform automatic network traversal using SSH private keys discovered on systems, with the objective of creating a comprehensive map of a network and its dependencies, identifying to what extent a network can be compromised using SSH and SSH private keys starting from a particular system. SSH-Snake can automatically reveal the relationship between systems which are connected via SSH, which would normally take a tremendous amount of time and effort to perform manually.suffers from bypass and traversal vulnerabilities.

There has been a huge increase in demand for running complex systems with tens to hundreds of microservices at massive scale. End users expect 24/7 availability of services they depend on, so even a few minutes of downtime matters. A proactive chaos engineer helps meet user expectations by identifying bottlenecks, hardening services before downtime occurs in a production environment. Chaos engineering is vital to avoid losing trust with your end users.To help address the need for a resilient Kubernetes platform and provide improved user experiences, Red Hat collaborates with the open source co

### Impact A potential denial-of-service issue exists in `ion-java` for applications that use `ion-java` to: * Deserialize Ion text encoded data, or * Deserialize Ion text or binary encoded data into the `IonValue` model and then invoke certain `IonValue` methods on that in-memory representation. An actor could craft Ion data that, when loaded by the affected application and/or processed using the `IonValue` model, results in a `StackOverflowError` originating from the `ion-java` library. Impacted versions: <1.10.5 ### Patches The patch is included in `ion-java` >= 1.10.5. ### Workarounds Do not load data which originated from an untrusted source or that could have been tampered with. **Only load data you trust.** ---- 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 email to [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). Please do not create a public Git...

As technology adoption has shifted to be employee-led, just in time, and from any location or device, IT and security teams have found themselves contending with an ever-sprawling SaaS attack surface, much of which is often unknown or unmanaged. This greatly increases the risk of identity-based threats, and according to a recent report from CrowdStrike, 80% of breaches today use compromised
