Attackers who were previously abusing DigitalOcean to host a tech support scam have expanded the operation, now abusing StackPath CDN to distribute the scam, and are likely to start abusing additional cloud services to deliver the scam in the near future. From February 1 to March 16, Netskope Threat Labs has seen a 10x increase of traffic to tech support scam pages delivered by StackPath CDN.
In the era of increasing focus on cyber-security, using only secure software plays an important role. Whether it’s an organization or an individual end-user, everyone is getting more literate about digital well-being. As a result, everyone read out the warnings displayed by systems to protect themselves from malware. Due to it, an Unknown Publisher Warning is also getting seriously considered.

Two new sets of regulations introduced by the European Union (EU) indicate that the public sector is taking increased interest in improving cybersecurity and resilience. The EU is introducing the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) for financial institutions and the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) for software and hardware providers, both designed to enforce software security and secure delivery of services.

The increasing complexity of applications and networks means that it’s more important than ever to have comprehensive application scanning and attack surface management in one place. Any true and complete standalone EASM solutions should already have application scanning capabilities built into them. But how does this work exactly?
You have probably wondered what would happen if your company laptop got lost or stolen. Would someone be able to extract sensitive data from your laptop even if the device is encrypted or locked?

In 1999, a far-fetched movie about a dystopia run by intelligent machines captured our imaginations (and to this day, remains my favorite film). Twenty-four years later, the line between fact and fiction has all but vanished and the blockbuster hits much differently. Are we entering the Matrix? Are we already in it? Can anyone be sure?
