DDoS-as-a-Service: The Rebirth Botnet

May 28, 2024 By Sysdig Threat Research Team In Sysdig
In March 2024, the Sysdig Threat Research Team (TRT) began observing attacks against one of our Hadoop honeypot services from the domain “rebirthltdio). The threat actors operating the botnet are financially motivated and advertise their service primarily to the video gaming community, although there is no evidence that this botnet is not being purchased beyond gaming-related purposes, and organizations may still be at risk of falling victim to these botnets attacks.

Account Takeover, SQL Injection and DDoS Attack Simulation on APIs

May 28, 2024 By Indusface In Indusface
Overview: According to TechTarget, 94% of organizations experience security problems in production APIs, and one in five suffers a data breach. The primary reason is that most tech leaders assume that having a strong authentication and authorisation framework is enough to secure APIs. As a result, cyberattacks on APIs increased from 35% in 2022 to 46% in 2023, and this trend continues to rise. Join Karthik Krishnamoorthy, CTO and Vivekanand Gopalan Gopalan, VP of Products at Indusface, in this webinar as they demonstrate how APIs can be hacked.

Growing Attack Surfaces Highlight the Need for Managed Detection and Response Services

May 28, 2024 By Trustwave In Trustwave
One reason organizations have difficulty defending against cyber threats is their attack surfaces are constantly growing, creating more entry points for bad actors to target. And target they will, creating an onslaught of alerts that drive the need for managed detection and response (MDR) services and other measures to help thwart them. Numerous trends are driving the increase in attack surface, including the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT) devices.

How to Tell When a Cyber Attack is Coming

May 27, 2024 By Gemma Goldstein In Cyberint
Predicting when a cyberattack will happen is a lot like forecasting the weather: It’s impossible to know with certainty exactly how events will play out. But with the right strategy and information, you may be able to predict cyberattacks before they start, or catch them in their beginning stages. We explain the early warning signs of each attack technique, as well as how to assess available data to determine how likely a cyber attack is to happen.

Evolving Detection Engineering Capabilities with Breach & Attack Simulation (BAS)

May 24, 2024 By SafeBreach In SafeBreach
Threat actors are constantly updating their tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs). In response, security teams must also continue to evolve their ability to detect the latest threats to avoid exploitation of security gaps that can result in costly breaches. This process, called detection engineering, refers to the method of fine-tuning security technologies to better detect malicious activity.

How to Use the Terraform Destroy Command to Control Cyber Attack Damage

May 23, 2024 By Narendra Sahoo In VISTA InfoSec
In many cases, cutting something off is necessary to avoid bigger damage. This is the idea behind controlled infrastructure removal, the elimination of some parts of your cloud infrastructure to contain an attack or remove a potential attack surface. It is an important part of infrastructure-as-code (IaC) management and something organizations need to be familiar with as they secure their cloud environments and the apps they develop.
