Warning: ClickFix Attacks are Growing More Sophisticated

Nov 12, 2025 By KnowBe4 Team In KnowBe4
Researchers at Push Security warn of an extremely convincing ClickFix attack posing as a Cloudflare verification check. ClickFix is a social engineering technique that tricks the victim into copying and pasting a malicious command, then running it on their computer. In the instance observed by Push Security, the phishing page has a pop-up box that appears to be from Cloudflare, instructing the user to press the keyboard shortcuts necessary to open a terminal and run a command.

What's Behind The Rise of Spear Phishing Attacks on IT Leaders?

Nov 11, 2025 By Arctic Wolf In Arctic Wolf
Phishing has been a mainstay of cybercrime for decades – and for good reason. Threat actors continually evolve their phishing tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs), adapting the method with new tools and technologies to ensure it remains highly effective. IT leaders have become especially attractive targets: their privileged access amplifies the impact of a successful compromise.

NTLM Relay Attacks: Back from the Dead - and Still Haunting Active Directory

Nov 11, 2025 By CalCom In CalCom
NTLM Relay attacks should be history. Yet in 2025, they remain one of the most effective ways to compromise Active Directory. We first covered this problem back in 2020, when we wrote about a troubling vulnerability that refused to die: NTLM Relay attacks. At the time, many believed NTLM Relay attacks were a relic of the past, an old problem long solved by Kerberos and modern authentication protocols.

What Is a Dictionary Attack In Cyber Security? How To Detect & Prevent It?

Nov 10, 2025 By SafeAeon Inc. In SafeAeon
Most people are aware of ways to ensure their online security, yet they often fail to implement them fully. A common guideline when signing up for an account on any website is to create a strong password; however, 65% of people reuse passwords across websites. Not just that, people use passwords that are easier to guess, like ‘123456’, ‘iloveyou’, ‘welcome’, and personal details. These passwords regularly appear in data breach leaks.

Understanding the golden ticket attack with Mimikatz

Nov 10, 2025 By Jeff Warren In Netwrix
Golden ticket attacks target the KRBTGT account in Active Directory, allowing attackers to forge Kerberos tickets and impersonate domain admins. Tools like Mimikatz make this attack simple and long-lasting, since forged tickets can remain valid for years. Netwrix Threat Manager, Privilege Secure, and Identity Threat Detection & Response (ITDR) help detect anomalies, rotate KRBTGT credentials, and enforce Just-in-Time access to prevent compromise.

Language Switching Attacks: The New Threat Vector in LLM Security

Nov 10, 2025 By A10 Networks In A10 Networks
Language Switching Attacks: The New Threat Vector in LLM Security In this clip from "Securing AI Part 4: The Rising Threat of Hidden Attacks in Multimodal AI," Diptanshu Purwar discusses the growing trend of language-switching attacks. These techniques exploit the ongoing development and training gaps in Large Language Models (LLMs). Diptanshu explains how attackers can evade an LLM's built-in filters and guardrails by rapidly shifting between different languages, particularly less common ones, to find weaknesses where the model's safety data is sparse.

The Cat's Out of the Bag: A 'Meow Attack' Data Corruption Campaign Simulation via MAD-CAT

Nov 7, 2025 By Karl Biron In Trustwave
In 2024, I published Feline Hackers Among Us? (A Deep Dive and Simulation of the Meow Attack), which explored the notorious Meow attack campaign that had plagued unsecured databases since 2020. That article focused on demonstrating the attack against a single MongoDB instance using a simple Python script. A proof-of-concept that illustrates how devastating misconfigurations can be.
