JFrog Security research discovers coordinated attacks on Docker Hub that planted millions of malicious repositories

As key parts of the software ecosystem, and as partners, JFrog and Docker are working together to strengthen the software ecosystem. Part of this effort by JFrog’s security research team involves continuous monitoring of open-source software registries in order to proactively identify and address potential malware and vulnerability threats.

Preventing Magecart Attacks Through Supply Chain Vulnerabilities

The digital supply chain refers to the chain of third-party digital tools, services and infrastructure that is depended on for a particular first-party service (such as your website or SaaS platform). In an ever-changing digital landscape, supply chains can be brittle with many unseen risks. The nature of supply chain risk is transitive; any part of the often long and complicated digital supply chain can be compromised, causing all components downstream of it to also be compromised.

Shamane Tan on cyber resilience - Cyber Security Decoded

Bouncing back from a cyber incident, data breach or #ransomware attack is a great accomplishment…but how can you bounce forward? A complete Cyber Resilience strategy is mission-critical. Security teams should be proactive and have response plans in place for when #CyberAttacks hit, rather than attempting to prevent attacks from occurring. With a #CyberResilience strategy, your team will be equipped with a plan when a cyber incident occurs while also having tools to identify those malicious attacks before they happen.

Targeted Smishing Attacks by Threat Group "The Com" On The Rise

Cyber activity by the group "The Com," which leverages (SIM) swapping, cryptocurrency theft, swatting, and corporate intrusions, is increasing. Security researchers at Intel471 have published an analysis of the threat group, “The Com” (short for “The Community”), providing details about their targets and tactics. Operating mostly from Canada, the U.S.

Architecting Cyber Resilience: Building Your Breach and Attack Simulation Program

In recent years, breach and attack simulation (BAS) has gained significant traction among enterprises, emerging as a crucial component in fortifying proactive security by automating the ongoing testing of threat vectors. It empowers organizations to verify potential threats, enhance security controls, identify vulnerabilities in critical assets, and prioritize remediation efforts to bolster cyber resilience.

AI-driven cyber attacks to be the norm within a year, say security leaders

New research from Netacea reveals 93% of security leaders expect to face daily AI-driven attacks by the end of this year. Ransomware and phishing attacks are expected to be enhanced by offensive AI, but bots remain an underestimated threat. All respondents are benefiting from AI in their security stack, but adoption of bot management is lagging behind.

Combating phishing attacks with passwordless FIDO2 authentication

Attackers predominantly use phishing attacks to steal and misuse user identities. A global Statista study on employee-reported malicious emails revealed that in the first quarter of 2023, 58.2% of malicious emails were credential theft attacks, 40.5% were impersonation attacks, and 1.3% were malware deliveries. Phishing attacks create a sense of urgency and panic in users, who, as a result, easily fall victim to them.
