With new identities, environments and attack methods dominating today’s threat landscape, cybersecurity leaders are hyper-focused on securing identities to safeguard enterprises. However, a glaring, high-touch security gap exists that threat actors actively exploit to steal confidential data. And unsuspecting as it seems, that gap lies in the most used enterprise application of all time – the web browser.

Welcome, fellow travelers of the Cosmos! While we may not be traversing the stars on a spaceship, we are all interconnected through the powerful network of blockchains. Unfortunately, just like any technology, vulnerabilities can be discovered and exploited. In this post, we’ll present a critical vulnerability in a Cosmos-SDK blockchain that is explicitly related to the Inter-Blockchain Communication Protocol (IBC).

If the first month-plus of 2024 is any indication, this year is likely to be anything but ordinary in the cybersecurity realm. In January alone, a triad of events unfolded, each more riveting than the last, setting the stage for a year that promises to be as unpredictable as it is exciting. The following recent events have me reflecting on processes and controls that can help you better protect your organization’s most sensitive assets.

Andy Thompson, CyberArk Labs Offensive Security Research Evangelist returns to Trust Issues for a deep dive into the recent APT29 breach of Microsoft. In conversation with host David Puner, Thompson explores the intricate details of the January 2024 attack, dissecting the tactics employed by the APT29 threat actor, also known as Cozy Bear, Cozy Car, The Dukes – or, as Microsoft refers to the group: Midnight Blizzard.

This is the final installment of the blog series “A Deep Dive into Penetration Testing of macOS Applications.” Previously, we discussed the structure of macOS applications and their analysis techniques. Now, we will focus on client-side attacks in macOS applications. In penetration testing, the goal is to identify vulnerabilities in the app. To do that effectively, it’s important to understand how these attacks work. So, let’s dive in and learn more!

A new and concerning chapter has unfolded in these troubled times of geopolitical chaos. The Cozy Bear threat actor has caused significant breaches targeting Microsoft and HPE, and more are likely to come. These recent events have sent shockwaves throughout the tech community, and for good reason. As we continue to uncover the fallout from these breaches, it has become apparent that the magnitude of the incident is more significant than we first realized.
