Responsible vulnerability disclosure: Why it matters

Apr 16, 2025 By Marcus White In Outpost 24
The concept of responsible disclosure is a simple one. If you find a vulnerability, you let the affected organization or software vendor know before making the information public. This gives them time to patch the vulnerability before it can be exploited. It also helps maintain trust and fosters a collaborative environment between security researchers and companies. As a cybersecurity vendor, do we want our researchers to be credited when they discover vulnerabilities? Of course.

Vector and Embedding Weaknesses in AI Systems

Apr 16, 2025 By Bar-El Tayouri In Mend
AI security threats are evolving at roughly the same speed that AI itself is: extremely fast. One of the most recent—and least understood—vulnerabilities involves vector and embedding weaknesses. These issues have gained attention with their addition to the OWASP Top 10 for LLMs, and the risks are becoming more urgent as Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) continues to dominate enterprise AI adoption.

Homograph attacks: How hackers exploit look-alike domains

Apr 16, 2025 By Marcus White In Outpost 24
Several years ago, a security researcher discovered a vulnerability in Google Chrome that allowed fake domains to bypass the browser’s security measures. The researcher registered a domain that appeared as “xn--80ak6aa92e.com” but displayed as “apple.com” in the browser, demonstrating how easy it was to deceive users. This is just one example of what’s known as a homograph attack, or sometimes a ‘look-a-like domain’.
