Palo Alto, Singapore, March 6, 2025, CyberNewswire Recent attack disclosures such as browser SyncJacking and Extension Infostealers have made browser extensions a major security concern in many organizations. Squarex’s research team will discover new classes of malicious extensions by impersonating any extension installed in the victim’s browser, such as a password manager or a Crypto wallet. These malicious extensions can morph the exact same user interface, icons and text with legitimate extensions, making them a very convincing case for victims to enter their credentials and other sensitive information. This attack affects most major browsers, including Chrome and Edge. Polymorphic extensions…
Prosecutors have questioned the judge’s fairness in sparing Lebert’s prison time for his forced kiss on footballer El Mooso.Spanish prosecutors have nullified and demanded that the trial of Chiefleis Luviales, the country’s former football federation, be re-executed due to his forced kiss on Jenni Hermoso. The request came on Thursday after a top Spanish criminal court came last month after Luviales was found guilty of sexual assault on a kiss, and then the Spanish women’s football team won the World Cup, fined 10,800 euros ($11,370) and saved him prison by a sentence deemed to be lenient by feminist groups. The…
On a weekday in February, politicians and military personnel were crammed into a popular event centre in Nairobi’s central business district, leading to a consensus on forming a new government. However, instead of the red and black Kenya flags, Sudan flags adorn the halls. Instead of Kenyan politicians, everyone sitting in the seat has allied with Sudan’s Quick Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary organization that had shattered the country by the Continuing War with the Sudanese Army (SAF). Massive protests from the Sudanese government, its people, and several foreign governments, including Torkiye and Saudi Arabia, have followed the RSF move.…
Canada has made significant investments in its country’s CANDU reactor technology to strengthen its nuclear leadership. CANDU reactors are globally recognized for their reliability and efficiency and have long played an important role in the Canadian energy landscape. The Canadian government is taking critical action to modernize and expand the technology as demand for safe, unemitted electricity grows. Minister of Energy and Natural Resources Jonathan Wilkinson recently announced a preliminary agreement with Atkinsrealis to support the development of a new, large-scale CANDU reactor. Major investments in CANDU reactor development As part of the agreement, the Canadian government will provide up…
In late March last year, Openai announced a “small preview” of its AI service, Voice Engine. The company claimed that it could clone a human voice with just 15 seconds of audio. Almost a year later, the tool remains previewed, giving no indication of when it will be released or whether it will launch. Resisting to broadly deploy services may point to fear of misuse, but it may also reflect efforts to avoid inducing regulatory scrutiny. Openai has historically been accused of prioritizing “shiny products” at the expense of safety and rushing to release rivals to market. In a statement,…
On February 18, 2022, six days before Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, then-provincial President Joe Biden said he was “confident” that Moscow had decided to invade Ukraine. When asked how he knew this, Biden said, “We have important intelligence capabilities.” At the time, the government under Ukrainian government’s President Volodimia Zelenkie was unsure of Biden’s prognosis and argued that a full-scale invasion was unlikely. Biden was right, Ukraine was wrong. Since the outbreak of war, the United States has used its vast spy capabilities, in addition to billions of dollars of sophisticated weapons, to share intelligence information with Ukraine, helping…

It is described as a case of prototype contamination. “Kibana prototype pollution leads to arbitrary code execution via uploading created files and specifically creating HTTP requests,” the company said in an advisory released Wednesday. Prototype pollution vulnerabilities are security flaws that allow attackers to manipulate JavaScript objects and properties in applications, which can…
March 6, 2025Ravi LakshmananMalware/Ransomware It has been observed that a financially motivated threat actor known as EncryptThub coordinates sophisticated phishing campaigns to deploy information steel and ransomware, while also working on a new product called Encryptrat. “It has been observed that Encrypthub is targeting users of popular applications by distributing the Trojanized version,” Outpost24 Krakenlabs said in a new report shared with Hacker News. “In addition, threat actors also use third-party pay-per-installation (PPI) distribution services.” Cybersecurity companies described threat actors as hacking groups that carry out operational security errors, and as people who incorporated common security flaws into their attack…
Cyber threats are more refined, and traditional security approaches struggle to keep up. Organizations cannot rely on regular evaluations or static vulnerability lists. Instead, a dynamic approach is needed that provides real-time insight into how attackers move their environment. This is where the attack graph is included. By mapping potential attack paths, it provides a more strategic way to identify and mitigate risks. In this article, we will explore the benefits, types, and real applications of attack graphs. Understanding Attack Graphs An attack graph is a visual representation of a potential attack path within a system or network. It maps…
