Pros and Cons of 5G

With the introduction of the 5G Stand Alone (SA) method for operating a 5G base station independently by an independent 5G core network, 5G will finally be able to simultaneously support three different requirements: enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) (high speed and large capacity), ultra-reliable and low-latency communication (URLLC), and massive machine type communication (mMTC) (ultra-mass terminal). Pros and Cons of 5G According to Deloitte Insights, there were 756 private network deployments in enterprises worldwide as of…

Security Breaks: TeamTNT’s DockerHub Credentials Leak

We constantly deploy and study our honeypots to get a view of actively exploited vulnerabilities and misconfigurations on platforms and services that pose cloud security risks. One of these honeypots is based on exposed Docker REST API for analysis from cloud services providers’ and users’ perspectives. Upon analyzing the samples, we realized and were able to understand the threat actors’ use of container registry features for Docker malware and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs). Our…

How Malicious Actors Abuse Native Linux Tools in Their Attacks

Based on real-world attacks and our honeypots, we observed that malicious actors use a variety of enabled tools that come bundled with Linux distributions, such as curl, wget, chmod, chattr, ssh, base64, chroot, crontab, ps, and pkill, that are abused by attackers for nefarious purposes. We have seen malicious actors abusing these tools in the wild. The presence of these utilities, especially inside container environments, should be at least considered, since they provide additional avenues…

Enhancing Cloud Security by Reducing Container Images Through Distroless Techniques

Figure 1 shows that there are 96 packages installed in this image. We can also use Grype, also an increasingly popular tool, to analyze the SBOM generated by Syft to scan the original image for vulnerabilities. The extent of the risk of using Debian-based images is plain to see: The more packages there are, the larger the attack surface becomes. This also results in a bigger disk and bandwidth footprint, which has pushed many developers…

Since the announcement, Meta has introduced Horizon Worlds; other big-name companies are working on new metaverse-friendly apps. While Gartner predicts that by 2026, people will…

MSPs can also perform regular testing of backups and disaster recovery plans to ensure that the most effective processes, procedures, and policies are in place when an attack strikes. Lastly, they can provide ongoing cyber awareness training to address user-specific paths like phishing and poor security hygiene, if contractually obliged. Cyber insurance No longer a nice-to-have, cyber insurance is an absolute must for organizations of any size. Unfortunately, an uptick in ransomware attacks and costly…
