Next week will be our final installment of our 2022 Year in Review report coverage. We’ll be publishing a final topic summary on Ransomware and Commodity Loaders and follow up these reports with a livestream on LinkedIn and Twitter with report and subject matter experts.

The group's wanton attacks demonstrate that business email compromise is everything a hacker can want in one package: low risk, high reward, quick, easy, and low effort.

On January 16, 2023, the Wordfence Threat Intelligence team responsibly disclosed several vulnerabilities in Quick Restaurant Menu, a WordPress plugin that allows users to set up restaurant menus on their sites.

A denial of service vulnerability exists in the malware scan functionality of ESTsoft Alyac 2.5.8.645. A specially-crafted PE file can lead to killing target process. An attacker can provide a malicious file to trigger this vulnerability.

Over the past few years, cybersecurity has become a major concern for businesses around the globe. With the total cost of cybercrime in 2023 forecasted to reach $8 Trillion – with a T, not a B – it’s no wonder that cybersecurity is top of mind for leaders across all industries and regions. However, despite growing attention and budgets for cybersecurity in recent years, attacks have only become

A new intelligence gathering campaign linked to the prolific North Korean state-sponsored Lazarus Group leveraged known security flaws in unpatched Zimbra devices to compromise victim systems.

An OpSec slip from the North Korean threat group helps researchers attribute what was first suspected as a ransomware attack to nation-state espionage.

Enterprises often don't know whose responsibility it is to monitor for spoofed brand sites and scams that steal customers' trust, money, and personally identifiable information.

Rapid7 Nexpose and InsightVM versions 6.6.82 through 6.6.177 fail to validate the certificate of the update server when downloading updates. This failure could allow an attacker in a privileged position on the network to provide their own HTTPS endpoint, or intercept communications to the legitimate endpoint. The attacker would need some pre-existing access to at least one node on the network path between the Rapid7-controlled update server and the Nexpose/InsightVM application, and the ability to either spoof the update server's FQDN or redirect legitimate traffic to the attacker's server in order to exploit this vulnerability. Note that even in this scenario, an attacker could not normally replace an update package with a malicious package, since the update process validates a separate, code-signing certificate, distinct from the HTTPS certificate used for communication. This issue was resolved on February 1, 2023 in update 6.6.178 of Nexpose and InsightVM.
