“The impact is worse for devices like this, because of their positioning on the network,” Bishop Fox researcher Jon Williams says. Nearly 180,000 SonicWall firewalls remain vulnerable to an exploit first discovered in April 2022, despite the availability of a patch to manage the issue. Bishop Fox researchers wrote in a recent blog post thatContinue reading “Over 178,000 SonicWall firewalls for enterprises still vulnerable to DOS, RCE attacks.”

Looking backward, looking ahead: How last year’s tech trends predict the future.
“All that transformation comes with security, performance, and quality catching up,” experts say. When it comes to the future, look to the past. That’s the key to cloud computing company Akamai’s Advisory CISO Steve Winterfeld’s predictions for what we’ll see in 2024—2023’s cybersecurity tech trends. Those trends, and Akamai’s analysis of them, were detailed inContinue reading “Looking backward, looking ahead: How last year’s tech trends predict the future.”
Novel Mirai-based DDoS botnet exploits 0-days to infect routers and security cameras.
Threat actors are exploiting previously unknown bugs in certain routers and network video recorder (NVR) devices to build a Mirai-based distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) botnet, dubbed InfectedSlurs. The newly discovered zero-day remote code execution vulnerabilities can be exploited if the device manufacturers’ default admin credentials have not been changed — a security measure users very oftenContinue reading “Novel Mirai-based DDoS botnet exploits 0-days to infect routers and security cameras.”
