What happens in the privacy of your own home stays there. Or does it?

ShortLeash backdoor, used in the China-linked LapDogs campaign since 2023, enables stealth access, persistence, and data theft via compromised SOHO routers and fake certs.

Hackers never sleep, so why should enterprise defenses? Threat actors prefer to target businesses during off-hours. That’s when they can count on fewer security personnel monitoring systems, delaying response and remediation. When retail giant Marks & Spencer experienced a security event over Easter weekend, they were forced to shut down their online operations, which account for

### Impact When a user who hasn't logged in to the system before (i.e. doesn't exist in the authd user database) logs in via SSH, the user is considered a member of the root group in the context of the SSH session. That leads to a local privilege escalation if the user should not have root privileges. ### Patches Fixed by https://github.com/ubuntu/authd/commit/619ce8e55953b970f1765ddaad565081538151ab ### Workarounds Configure the SSH server to not allow authenticating via authd, for example by setting `UsePAM no` or `KbdInteractiveAuthentication no` in the `sshd_config` (see https://documentation.ubuntu.com/authd/stable/howto/login-ssh/#ssh-configuration).

SSH keys enable critical system access but often lack proper management. This security blind spot creates significant risk through untracked, unrotated credentials that persist across your infrastructure.

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on Monday added two critical security flaws impacting Erlang/Open Telecom Platform (OTP) SSH and Roundcube to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, based on evidence of active exploitation. The vulnerabilities in question are listed below - CVE-2025-32433 (CVSS score: 10.0) - A missing authentication for a critical

Grab a large sweet tea or a cup of coffee and read the 2024 Product Security Risk Report from Red Hat Product Security. As someone striving to stay informed about the open source ecosystem and its security challenges, I found this year's report noticeably longer, but the depth and detail didn’t disappoint. In fact, one notable addition to this year’s report is the discussion of AI. The numbers game: up, up, and...wait, what?First, let’s break down the raw numbers. Red Hat Security Advisories (RHSA) hit a new peak in 2024, clocking in at 2975. There has been a steady increase over the pa
