This month's Patch Tuesday contains a total of 79 vulnerabilities — the fourth largest of the year.

September’s monthly round of patches from Microsoft included 79 vulnerabilities, seven of which are considered critical.

The proliferation of cybersecurity tools has created an illusion of security. Organizations often believe that by deploying a firewall, antivirus software, intrusion detection systems, identity threat detection and response, and other tools, they are adequately protected. However, this approach not only fails to address the fundamental issue of the attack surface but also introduces dangerous

The China-linked advanced persistent threat (APT) group known as Mustang Panda has been observed weaponizing Visual Studio Code software as part of espionage operations targeting government entities in Southeast Asia. "This threat actor used Visual Studio Code's embedded reverse shell feature to gain a foothold in target networks," Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 researcher Tom Fakterman said in a

In my opinion, mandatory enrollment is best enrollment.

Unit 29155 of Russia’s GRU military intelligence agency—a team responsible for coup attempts, assassinations, and bombings—has branched out into brazen hacking operations with targets across the world.

The No cON Name 2024 call for papers has been announced. It will be held in Barcelona, Spain, from November 18th through the 20th, 2024.

Zero day remote root exploit for IntelliNet version 2.0. It affects multiple devices of AES Corp and Siemens. The exploit provides a remote shell and escalates your permissions to full root permissions by abusing exec_suid. No authentication needed at all, neither any interaction from the victim. The firmware affected by this exploit runs on fire alarms, burglar sensors and environmental devices, all on the internet, all vulnerable, no patch. Full control over hardware and software with no restrictions, you can manipulate battery voltage and even damage the hardware with unknown outcomes.

A recently patched security flaw in Google Chrome and other Chromium web browsers was exploited as a zero-day by North Korean actors in a campaign designed to deliver the FudModule rootkit. The development is indicative of the persistent efforts made by the nation-state adversary, which had made a habit of incorporating rafts of Windows zero-day exploits into its arsenal in recent months.

Cybersecurity researchers have flagged multiple in-the-wild exploit campaigns that leveraged now-patched flaws in Apple Safari and Google Chrome browsers to infect mobile users with information-stealing malware. "These campaigns delivered n-day exploits for which patches were available, but would still be effective against unpatched devices," Google Threat Analysis Group (TAG) researcher Clement
