API Attack Awareness: Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA) - Why It Tops the OWASP API Top 10

For this Cybersecurity Awareness Month, we thought it important to draw attention to some of the most common and dangerous API vulnerabilities. This week, we’re starting with Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA). BOLA vulnerabilities top the OWASP API Top Ten. And for good reason: they’re startlingly prevalent, remarkably easy to exploit, and can have devastating consequences. So, let’s explore what they are, why they matter, and how you can mitigate them.

When Electricity Meets Cyber: How Electric Firms Must Harden Their Systems

The electric sector is undergoing a digital revolution. From smart meters to automated substations, electricity providers now rely heavily on software, connected devices, and real-time data analytics. While this transformation drives efficiency, sustainability, and innovation, it also exposes power grids and electrical systems to cyber risks. As cyberattacks on critical infrastructure become more frequent, firms must not only harden their systems but also strengthen their workforce to meet this evolving challenge.

SpiderLabs Ransomware Tracker Update September 2025: Qilin, Akira Top Ransomware Attackers

The threat groups Qilin and Akira together conducted about one-quarter of the 402 ransomware attacks tracked by Trustwave SpiderLabs in September, with the manufacturing and technology sectors receiving the brunt of these efforts. This information was derived from a new SpiderLabs ransomware tracking tool that gathers information from a variety of open intelligence sources and our own proprietary research.

7 Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks to Look Out For

Today’s man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks go far beyond coffee-shop Wi-Fi: they target browsers, APIs, device enrollments, and DNS infrastructure. Using automated proxykits and supply-chain flaws, attackers hijack session cookies, tokens, and device credentials—turning one interception into persistent, high-value access. Concerningly, these are not edge cases.

0Click Attacks: When TTPs Resurface Across Platforms

If there’s one lesson security teams should take from recent disclosures, it’s this: AI agent attack techniques don’t disappear - they resurface, across vendors and platforms, with only small variations. What researchers called out months ago is showing up again, now in Salesforce as the ForcedLeak vulnerability.

Resilience by Design: How to Stay Online During Attacks and Outages

In today’s cloud-native world, resilience isn’t optional — it’s foundational. Daniele Molteni, Director, Product Management for Application Security at Cloudflare, is leading a panel at Cloudflare Connect 2025 that tackles a core question: how do you design systems to withstand attacks, outages, and failures? In this preview, Daniele shares what’s at stake when downtime hits — and how leaders are rethinking operational continuity for the modern Internet.

The Weak Link: Recent Supply Chain Attacks Examined

Originally published: April 2023 Updated: September 2025 Supply chain attacks are a growing and increasingly sophisticated form of cyber threat. They target the complex network of relationships between organizations and their suppliers, vendors, and third-party service providers. These attacks exploit vulnerabilities that emerge due to the interconnected nature of digital supply chains, which often span multiple organizations, systems, and geographies.

Improving Cyber and Mental Resilience with Threat Information Sharing

In a world where data provides companies with a competitive advantage, sharing it amongst other businesses, especially in the same industry, may seem counterproductive. However, in cybersecurity, where every company is a potential target for threat actors and organizations are increasingly interconnected through supply chains, sharing information can significantly enhance a company's security posture and overall resilience.

Carding ecosystem: The fall of traditional financial cybercrime

Carding is a type of cybercrime where attackers steal or illegally buy credit card information and use it to make unauthorized transactions. It often involves testing stolen card numbers with small purchases before making larger fraudulent charges. Criminals typically exchange or sell these stolen details on underground forums or dark web marketplaces. Outpost24’s Threat Intelligence team, KrakenLabs, carried out a previous public analysis of the underground card fraud ecosystem in 2022.
