Google on Monday disclosed that it identified an unknown threat actor using a zero-day exploit that it said was likely developed with an artificial intelligence (AI) system, marking the first time the technology has been put to use in the wild in a malicious context for vulnerability discovery and exploit generation
Not every cloud breach starts with malware or a zero-day. In this incident, attackers discovered an exposed Spring Boot Actuator endpoint, harvested credentials from leaked configuration data, then used the OAuth2 Resource Owner Password Credentials (ROPC) flow to authenticate without MFA.
Patch, turn on MFA, and restrict access to trusted networks…or else Affiliates of the Akira ransomware gang are again exploiting a critical SonicWall vulnerability abused last summer, after a suspected zero-day flaw actually turned out to be related to a year-old bug.…
Scattered Spider didn't need a zero-day to breach Clorox. They just phoned the help desk—convincing agents to reset passwords & MFA without proper checks. The result: $380M in damages. Learn from Specops Software why caller verification and audit trails are critical. [...]
