Azure Serverless Security Risks Exposed by New Study

Azure Serverless Security Risks Exposed by New Study

Serverless architectures are increasingly popular, as the cloud provider does most of the heavy lifting, allowing developers to focus on building and running their apps. But this popularity has attracted the scrutiny of threat actors. Although serverless environments have a relatively reduced attack surface, with certain responsibilities shifted to the cloud provider (CSP), users must be careful not to introduce extra risk. This could happen if they write insecure code, misconfigure assets or fail to…

Earth Preta’s Cyberespionage Campaign Hits Over 200

Earth Preta’s Cyberespionage Campaign Hits Over 200

This mix of traditional intelligence trade craft and cyber techniques could mean that these groups have access to advanced resources and support from nation states, since such techniques are not typically available to independent hackers. Moreover, this approach could signify the growing convergence of cyber- and physical security as cyberattacks continue to move beyond digital systems and into the physical world. Operation groups While this is not a comprehensive list, we summarize and attribute the…

Earth Preta Updated Stealthy Strategies

Earth Preta Updated Stealthy Strategies

We categorize the different TTPs into six stages: arrival vectors, discovery, privilege escalation, lateral movement, command and control (C&C) and exfiltration, respectively. In our previous research, we covered most of the new TTPs and malware during the first stage, arrival vectors. However, we observed that some of TTPs have been changed. In the following sections, we focus on the updated arrival vectors and their succeeding stages. We previously summarized the arrival vectors used by Earth…
