DNS is often referred to as the internet’s phonebook, translating human-readable domain names into IP addresses. But this essential service also makes DNS a prime target for cyberattackers. With the increasing volume and sophistication of DNS-based threats, including DNS spoofing, cache poisoning, and DDoS attacks, it’s crucial to understand the risks involved.

With the boom of cloud usage and AI, organizations have been facing an increase in cybersecurity challenges due to which they realize the need for endpoint vulnerability remediation.

A new high-severity vulnerability, CVE-2025-4123, has been discovered in Grafana, a widely used open-source observability platform. Dubbed “The Grafana Ghost,” this vulnerability stems from an open redirect flaw that can lead to stored cross-site scripting (XSS), account takeover and server-side request forgery (SSRF). Despite the release of patched versions, over 46,000 vulnerable Grafana instances are still publicly exposed, underscoring the urgency for immediate mitigation.

Every 39 seconds, a cyberattack strikes – and most victims don’t see it coming. In today’s hyperconnected world, attackers no longer need to break in. They wait patiently in the dark corners of your network—undetected, automated, and already inside.

In this article, we’ll analyze how threat actors exploit TLS to hide their operations and how defenders can use exposed certificate metadata to detect them. We will discuss: Let’s get started! (This article is part of our Threat Hunting with Splunk series. We’ve updated it recently to maximize your value.)

Software installer packages are a cornerstone of user-friendly software distribution. Tools like Inno Setup, NSIS (Nullsoft Scriptable Install System), and InstallShield help developers bundle their applications into a single, streamlined installer that users can run with just a few clicks. These installers often include everything needed to set up a program, files, configurations, and even system dependencies, making software installation seamless and accessible.

Alex was the kind of IT administrator who kept everything humming smoothly behind the scenes at QuantumAxis Corp. Servers, user accounts, random requests at 4:55 PM on Fridays—he put out the fires and stayed out of the drama. So, when the CISO asked for a “quick chat,” he braced himself. “Alex,” she said, with zero preamble, “we’ve had too many close calls lately.
