Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a targeted operation against Ukraine that has been found leveraging a nearly seven-year-old flaw in Microsoft Office to deliver Cobalt Strike on compromised systems. The attack chain, which took place at the end of 2023 according to Deep Instinct, employs a PowerPoint slideshow file (“signal-2023-12-20-160512.ppsx”) as the starting point, with the […]
In a world where more & more organizations are adopting open-source components as foundational blocks in their application’s infrastructure, it’s difficult to consider traditional SCAs as complete protection mechanisms against open-source threats. Using open-source libraries saves tons of coding and debugging time, and by that – shortens the time to deliver our applications. But, as […]
Threat actors have been increasingly observed using AI-generated YouTube Videos to spread a variety of stealer malware such as Raccoon, RedLine, and Vidar. “The videos lure users by pretending to be tutorials on how to download cracked versions of software such as Photoshop, Premiere Pro, Autodesk 3ds Max, AutoCAD, and other products that are licensed […]
A nascent information stealer called Mars has been observed in campaigns that take advantage of cracked versions of the malware to steal information stored in web browsers and cryptocurrency wallets. “Mars Stealer is being distributed via social engineering techniques, malspam campaigns, malicious software cracks, and keygens,” Morphisec malware researcher Arnold Osipov said in a report […]
Technical details have been disclosed regarding a number of security vulnerabilities affecting Moxa’s MXview web-based network management system, some of which could be chained by an unauthenticated adversary to achieve remote code execution on unpatched servers. The five security weaknesses “could allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute code on the hosting machine with the […]
Some organizations and developers use third-party resources rather than writing software from scratch. Engineers may speed up development and save manufacturing costs by adopting pre-built libraries and open source components, allowing them to bring products to market faster. As a result, businesses need to account for software occurring outside of their walls and networks in […]
Google has rolled out fixes for five security vulnerabilities in its Chrome web browser, including one which it says is being exploited in the wild, making it the 17th such weakness to be disclosed since the start of the year. Tracked as CVE-2021-4102, the flaw relates to a use-after-free bug in the V8 JavaScript and […]
The shared clinical workstations in the healthcare sector are often chaotic and messy. They are used by physicians for nearly everything, from logging into the EHR system to scheduling surgery. With so much going on in such a fast-paced industry, IT teams need to be vigilant and aware of security risks. Risks of Sharing Clinical […]
CI/CD or CICD stands for continuous integration/continuous delivery. Though it is technically two distinct processes available to software companies, they are best when combined. The benefits of CI/CD are numerous and allow companies to deliver software and updates faster and more reliably. Offering a stable, consistent service is all part of managing a successful software […]
A major vulnerability affecting older versions of BlackBerry’s QNX Real-Time Operating System (RTOS) could allow malicious actors to cripple and gain control of a variety of products, including cars, medical, and industrial equipment. The shortcoming (CVE-2021-22156, CVSS score: 9.0) is part of a broader collection of flaws, collectively dubbed BadAlloc, that was originally disclosed by […]
As many as eight Python packages that were downloaded more than 30,000 times have been removed from the PyPI portal for containing malicious code, once again highlighting how software package repositories are evolving into a popular target for supply chain attacks. “Lack of moderation and automated security controls in public software repositories allow even inexperienced […]
Four security vulnerabilities have been uncovered in the Sage X3 enterprise resource planning (ERP) product, two of which could be chained together as part of an attack sequence to enable adversaries to execute malicious commands and take control of vulnerable systems. These issues were discovered by researchers from Rapid7, who notified Sage Group of their […]
Cybersecurity researchers on Thursday disclosed as many as ten critical vulnerabilities impacting CODESYS automation software that could be exploited to remote code execution on programmable logic controllers (PLCs). “To exploit the vulnerabilities, an attacker does not need a username or password; having network access to the industrial controller is enough,” researchers from Positive Technologies said. […]
Are you looking for your important file which accidentally got deleted while cleaning out the garbage from your device? Did you lose your file when your device got corrupted while reinstalling the software? Did you format your device because your system is not functioning properly and you don’t have enough backup for it? If you […]
The Apache Software Foundation on Friday addressed a high severity vulnerability in Apache OFBiz that could have allowed an unauthenticated adversary to remotely seize control of the open-source enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. Tracked as CVE-2021-26295, the flaw affects all versions of the software prior to 17.12.06 and employs an “unsafe deserialization” as an attack […]
The massive state-sponsored espionage campaign that compromised software maker SolarWinds also targeted Microsoft, as the unfolding investigation into the hacking spree reveals the incident may have been far more wider in scope, sophistication, and impact than previously thought. News of Microsoft’s compromise was first reported by Reuters, which also said the company’s own products were […]
Insider Threat is one of the dangerous threat actors for many organization and keeping your business protected from outside threats is hard enough, but what about when you need to keep an eye on your own employees (Insider Threat)? As a business owner, it is understandable that you want to keep what you have labored […]
System76 invited Fossbytes to their Thelio press event. Devin visited their facility in Denver, Colorado to see what they have been up to. Spoiler alert: it’s some pretty cool stuff. ? Thelio Origins Thelio, pronounced Thayleo, was intended to be transcendental from the start. The space-faring branding of System76 has clearly been designed to inspire […]
Running a business requires a great deal of time, knowledge and expertise. If you want to take it to new heights, it’s imperative that you look for ways to save time by streamlining your processes.

Cell phone technology has come into existence almost a decade ago, now has prevailed all over the world. Everyone is using minicomputers in the shape of smartphones running with the different operating systems such as Androids, IOS, windows, and blackberries. These cell phone operating systems has invented plenty of features and applications that make a […]
Short Bytes: The world of technology is filled with terms making use of the suffix ‘-ware’. The word ‘ware’ doesn’t inherently have anything to do with computers or technology. So, why is it in ‘software’? Here, we’ll discuss the differences between two confusing ‘ware’ terms–freeware and open source software. The word ‘ware’ means an article […]
