Ivanti warned admins to stop pushing new device configurations to appliances after applying mitigations because this will leave them vulnerable to ongoing attacks exploiting two zero-day vulnerabilities. "Customers should stop pushing configurations to appliances with the XML in place, and not resume pushing configurations until the appliance is patched," Ivanti said in a new update published on Saturday.
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI recently collaborated in a multinational operation to dismantle the notorious Qakbot malware and botnet. While the operation was successful in...
The rise of Generative-AI apps and GPT services exacerbates this issue, with employees of all departments rapidly adding the latest and greatest AI apps to their productivity arsenal, without the security team's knowledge. From engineering apps such as code review and optimization to marketing, design and sales apps such as content & video creation, image creation and email automation apps.
Even if you're not a MOVEit customer, and even if you'd never heard of the MOVEit file sharing software before the end of last month. As you can imagine, because this security hole existed in the web front-end to the MOVEit software, and because MOVEit is all about uploading, sharing and downloading corporate files with ease, these criminals abused the bug to grab hold of trophy data to give themselves blackmail leverage over their victims.
The top challenges when implementing an effective cyber/IT risk management program include an increase in the quantity and severity of cyber threats, a lack of funding and a lack of staffing/cyber risk talent. Given the financial and reputational consequences of cyberattacks, corporate board rooms are putting pressure on CISOs to identify and mitigate cyber/IT risk.
Threat actors affiliated with a ransomware strain known as Play are leveraging a never-before-seen exploit chain that bypasses blocking rules for ProxyNotShell flaws in Microsoft Exchange Server to achieve remote code execution through Outlook Web Access. "The new exploit method bypasses URL rewrite mitigations for the Autodiscover endpoint," CrowdStrike researchers Brian Pitchford, Erik Iker, and Nicolas Zilio said in a technical write-up published Tuesday.
A financially motivated threat actor is hacking telecommunication service providers and business process outsourcing firms, actively reversing defensive mitigations applied when the breach is detected. The attacks have been attributed with low confidence to hackers tracked as 'Scattered Spider,' who demonstrate persistence in maintaining access, reversing mitigations, evading detection, and pivoting to other valid targets if thwarted.
Microsoft on Friday disclosed it has made more improvements to the mitigation method offered as a means to prevent exploitation attempts against the newly disclosed unpatched security flaws in Exchange Server. To that end, the tech giant has revised the blocking rule in IIS Manager from ".
Microsoft has updated the mitigations for the latest Exchange zero-day vulnerabilities tracked as CVE-2022-41040 and CVE-2022-41082, also referred to ProxyNotShell.Reported privately to Microsoft three weeks ago, CVE-2022-41040 is a server-side request forgery that enables privilege escalation and works with CVE-2022-41082 to trigger remote code execution on on-premise Exchange server deployments.
Microsoft has revised its mitigation measures for the newly disclosed and actively exploited zero-day flaws in Exchange Server after it was found that they could be trivially bypassed. The two vulnerabilities, tracked as CVE-2022-41040 and CVE-2022-41082, have been codenamed ProxyNotShell due to similarities to another set of flaws called ProxyShell, which the tech giant resolved last year.
