Let’s try something a bit different and take a look at some of Trustwave SpiderLabs’ Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) research findings, and exploitation of vulnerable buckets and domains. I published this research internally on February 3, 2023, and here are my findings. Today, I will share with you how deleted S3 buckets could become a liability or threat to your organization and highlight the importance of cybersecurity in data and asset management.
The best part of our job is the time we spend talking to Cloudflare customers. We always learn something new and interesting about their IT and security challenges. In recent years, something about those conversations has changed. More and more, the biggest challenge customers tell us about isn’t something that’s easy to define. And it’s definitely not something you can address with an individual product or feature.
As a senior consultant I deal with customers across numerous industries and maturity levels.

The challenge for organizations is how to safeguard sensitive information while adhering to the law, but without compromising innovation. Cyber threats loom large, affecting businesses in every industry.
Build secure cloud-native applications by avoiding the top five security pitfalls we lay out in our Secure Cloud-native Development Series. This blog is the fifth and final part of the series, and it will teach you to handle credentials and secrets management best practices for securing cloud-native applications. Every organization has their way of managing credentials. In the past, with legacy application architectures, this was a bit more manual and arduous.
A typo is one of those common mistakes with unpredictable results when it comes to the Internet’s domain names (DNS). In this blog post we’re going to analyze traffic for exmaple.com, and see how a very simple human error ends up creating unintentional traffic on the Internet. Cloudflare has owned exmaple.com for a few years now, but don’t confuse it with example.com!
