The US Department of Defense (DoD) has recently unveiled its ambitious strategy to deploy private 5G networks at approximately 750 military bases worldwide, both domestically and internationally. The DoD’s outlined strategy seeks to establish advanced Open Radio Access Network (Open RAN) 5G networks, highlighting the crucial role of 5G technology in enhancing the capabilities, efficiency, and security of military operations.
As we look ahead to 2024, a significant challenge looms large for organizations leveraging cloud storage solutions—the rising threat of ransomware specifically targeting these services. In the recently published report by SentinelLabs titled "The State of Cloud Ransomware in 2024," the complexities of these threats are laid bare, highlighting how even with stringent security measures, attackers are finding ways to
The increasingly sophisticated nature of cyber threats has necessitated improvements in security practices, particularly in software development and supply chains. Recognizing this need, Cloudsmith has introduced the Enterprise Policy Manager, a policy-as-code engine designed to centralize governance for software supply chains, thereby enhancing security and compliance measures. This move comes in response to high-profile security breaches like the SolarWinds attack
In a significant cybersecurity incident affecting Ahold Delhaize’s US division, several national grocery chains, such as Stop & Shop, Food Lion, and Hannaford, experienced substantial operational disruptions. Detected on November 8th, 2024, the attack resulted in bare grocery shelves at numerous locations across New England. To mitigate further damage, the company promptly notified law enforcement and engaged external cybersecurity experts
The IOTA network is on the brink of a transformative upgrade with the introduction of "IOTA Rebased," a novel Layer 1 (L1) protocol. This upgrade promises to significantly enhance the network’s scalability, decentralization, and programmability. Scheduled for determination by a governance vote on November 18, 2024, the upgrade aims to revolutionize how IOTA operates and its potential implications for the
In an alarming development, US state contractors have faced a significant rise in sophisticated phishing attacks, particularly those leveraging DocuSign impersonations. Since November 8, there has been a staggering 98% increase in these incidents compared to previous months, resulting in hundreds of instances reported daily. This surge in attacks primarily exploits the trusted relationships between businesses and regulatory authorities, targeting
In an increasingly interconnected world, cybersecurity threats are continuously evolving, posing significant risks to individuals and organizations alike. The latest revelation from Palo Alto Networks’ research team, Unit 42, uncovers a sophisticated phishing campaign orchestrated by North Korean operatives, demonstrating the extent of cyber threats impacting the technology sector. This particular operation, observed in recent months, leverages BeaverTail malware to
In an era increasingly characterized by regulatory pressures and a pressing need for individual empowerment, Consensys has made a significant move with the launch of sovs.xyz, a new platform built on its Linea zkEVM rollup. At the Ethereum Devcon in Bangkok, Joseph Lubin, founder of Consensys, vocalized his criticism of the SEC, accusing it of stifling the progress of the
The landscape of cyber threats is constantly evolving, with threat actors continually developing new techniques to bypass security measures and exploit human vulnerabilities. One such emerging threat is the ‘ClickFix’ technique, a sophisticated social engineering method that has seen a significant rise in use for malware deployment. This article delves into the intricacies of ClickFix, its impact, and the various
When considering the security of smartphones, tablets, and various Internet of Things (IoT) devices, it’s often the software vulnerabilities that come to mind. However, a recent development in hardware hacking targeting NAND flash memory chips has showcased a new, cost-effective threat that expands the attack surface significantly. This technique, known as the “chip-off” attack, allows attackers to physically extract NAND
The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has issued an urgent warning about two critical vulnerabilities in Palo Alto Networks’ Expedition software. Identified as CVE-2024-9463 (OS Command Injection) and CVE-2024-9465 (SQL Injection), these flaws have received high CVSS scores of 9.9 and 9.3 respectively. The exploitation of these vulnerabilities allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands with root
