Nearly half of the in-use flaws date from 2023 or earlier, confirming that organisations still […]
How Small Vulnerabilities Trigger Big Breaches – Five Lessons from the Front Line A research team from Intruder dissected five real-world security incidents to show how seemingly “low-risk” flaws can snowball into full-scale breaches: 1. SSRF → AWS credential theft – an application followed a 302 redirect to the EC2 metadata service, leaking cloud keys. […]
Phishers Use Real-Time Checks to Outsmart Security Measures According to the report, cybercriminals have begun using real-time checks within phishing campaigns to determine whether a victim’s system or browser is under active security inspection.
