Some weeks in security feel normal. Then you read a few tabs and get that immediate “ah, great, we’re doing this now” feeling. This week has that energy. Fresh messes, old problems getting sharper, and research that stops feeling theoretical real fast. A few bits hit a little too close to real life, too. There’s…

A social engineering campaign impersonating PayPal and Amazon uses customer support interactions to acquire sensitive info.

If you run security at any reasonably complex organization, your validation stack probably looks something like this: a BAS tool in one corner.

Cybersecurity researchers have flagged a new iteration of the GlassWorm campaign that they say represents a “significant escalation” in how it propagates through the Open VSX registry. “Instead of requiring every malicious listing to embed the loader directly, the threat actor is now abusing extensionPack and extensionDependencies to turn initially standalone-looking extensions into transitive

The excitement around Cisco’s latest SD-WAN bugs has inspired some light fraud, misunderstandings, and overlooked risks.
