New Cyber Espionage Group Targeting Ministries of Foreign Affairs

Cybersecurity researchers on Thursday took the wraps off a new cyber espionage group that has been behind a series of targeted attacks against diplomatic entities and telecommunication companies in Africa and the Middle East since at least 2017. Dubbed "BackdoorDiplomacy," the campaign involves...

SSLv2-Only Open Ports Unsupported

This plugin detects if the remote host has any open ports which only support SSLv2. This protocol has been deprecated since 2011 because of security vulnerabilities and most major SSL libraries such as OpenSSL, NSS, Mbed TLS, and wolfSSL do not provide this functionality in their latest versions...

New Bluetooth Vulnerability Lets Attackers Spy On Encrypted Connections

Over a billion Bluetooth-enabled devices, including smartphones, laptops, smart IoT devices, and industrial devices, have been found vulnerable to a high severity vulnerability that could allow attackers to spy on data transmitted between the two devices. The vulnerability, assigned as...

DanaBot Adds Ransomware to its Arsenal

A new sample of the DanaBot trojan spotted in a recent campaign reveals that operators behind the malware have now included a ransomware component into its code, along with new string encryption and communications protocols. The update, wrote Check Point researchers on Thursday, represents a...

Encrypted Messaging Project "Matrix" Suffers Extensive Cyber Attack

Matrix—the organization behind an open source project that offers a protocol for secure and decentralized real-time communication—has suffered a massive cyber attack after unknown attackers gained access to the servers hosting its official website and data. Hackers defaced Matrix's website, and...

Apple Patches KRACK Vulnerability in iOS 11.1

Apple has patched iOS, macOS and other products to protect against the KRACK vulnerability recently disclosed in the WPA2 Wi-Fi security protocol. KRACK, short for key re-installation attack, allows an attacker within range of a victim’s Wi-Fi network to read encrypted traffic with varying degree...

Rockwell Automation Patches Wireless Access Point against Krack

Rockwell Automation has patched its Stratix wireless access point against the KRACK vulnerability, joining a growing list of vendors in the commercial and industrial controls spaces moving quickly to reduce their exposure. Most major vendors have similarly patched their products, some prior to th...

Borg Spoofing Vulnerability

Borg is a deduplication backup program that supports compression and authentication encryption, among other things. A security vulnerability exists in versions of Borg prior to 1.0.9, which stems from an error in the encryption protocol used to validate manifests archive lists. An attacker could...

You Can Hijack Nearly Any Drone Mid-flight Using This Tiny Gadget

Now you can hijack nearly any drone mid-flight just by using a tiny gadget. Security researcher Jonathan Andersson has devised a small hardware, dubbed Icarus, that can hijack a variety of popular drones mid-flight, allowing attackers to lock the owner out and give them complete control over the...

JGroups: Authorization bypass

It was found that JGroups did not require necessary headers for encrypt and auth protocols from new nodes joining the cluster. An attacker could use this flaw to bypass security restrictions, and use this vulnerability to send and receive messages within the cluster, leading to information...
