Moving security to different digital intersections may serve to reduce the load on the endpoint – thereby avoiding duplicate scans, say, during a malware storm. However, it is just as important to understand how and when an agile approach to deploying your network defenses in real-time should be performed, and how attacks might dictate that approach. […]

Stephane Chazelas discovered a bug in the environment handling in Perl. Perl provides a Perl-space hash variable, %ENV, in which environment variables can be looked up. If a variable appears twice in envp, only the last value would appear in %ENV, but getenv would return the first. Perl’s taint security mechanism would be applied to […]

Intro from the 2016 Threat Brief: “2015 was yet another record year for cybercrime, during which more malware, malicious IPs, websites, and mobile apps were discovered than in any previous year. It comes as no surprise that the cybercrime ecosystem continues to thrive, given new innovations and little in the way of risk for those […]
For young people, the Internet can be a vital source of information, recreation, escape and more, but without the right guidance it can also be unsafe. Online games particularly make prime targets for cybercriminals, and there are also concerns that gaming networks can lead players astray, or even act as a criminal breeding ground. Whatever the reasons might […]

ESET researchers have found 343 malicious porn clicker trojans, which ESET detects as Android/Clicker, on Google Play over the last seven months – and their numbers keep rising. In one of the largest malware campaigns on the Google Play Store yet, criminals continue to upload further variants of these malicious apps to the official app store […]
Malicious porn clickers are mostly fake versions of popular games with very similar names and icons to legitimate applications. For instance, there were more than 30 bogus Subway Surfers and more than 60 fake GTA applications. These apps have nothing in common with the official Subway Surfers or GTA games. The trojans were mostly devoid […]

Aris Adamantiadis discovered that libssh, a tiny C SSH library, incorrectly generated a short ephemeral secret for the diffie-hellman-group1 and diffie-hellman-group14 key exchange methods. The resulting secret is 128 bits long, instead of the recommended sizes of 1024 and 2048 bits respectively. This flaw could allow an eavesdropper with enough resources to decrypt or intercept […]
Andreas Schneider reported that libssh2, a SSH2 client-side library, passes the number of bytes to a function that expects number of bits during the SSHv2 handshake when libssh2 is to get a suitable value for group order in the Diffie-Hellman negotiation. This weakens significantly the handshake security, potentially allowing an eavesdropper with enough resources to […]
Cyber threats come from a wide array of sources, but can be grouped into three categories: HacktivistsThese are tech-savvy individuals who are normally motivated by morality. These individuals are also classed by many (including the FBI) as terrorists. One of the main hactivist groups out there is anonymous. This group rose from one of the […]
