How long does it take to crack a password in 2024?

Password cracking tools improve all the time. With AI entering the game, the time to brute force passwords has been reduced significantly already and continues to be reduced.Password guidelines and rules have not changed all that much for users in the past ten or so years, however. Pick unique and strong, which means long and complex, passwords, and you are good to go.While rules are relatively simple, especially when used in combination with a password manager, many Internet and computer users still do not follow them. They use passwords repeatedly or pick weak passwords that allow threat actors to crack them in a matter of seconds. Full article

Microsoft's Brad Smith summoned by Homeland Security committee over 'cascade' of infosec failures

Major intrusions by both China and Russia leave a lot to be answered for May 10, 2024 By Connor Jones The US government wants to make Microsoft's vice chair and president, Brad Smith, the latest tech figurehead to field questions from a House committee on its recent cybersecurity failings.The House Committee on Homeland Security has proposed the hearing take place later this month on May 22. It will be referred to as "A Cascade of Security Failures: Assessing Microsoft Corporation's Cybersecurity Shortfalls and the Implications for Homeland Security."In recent times, Microsoft has faced a barrage of criticism following some significant revelations about its security practices. Namely, the attack on Microsoft Exchange in June 2023 was arguably the catalyst for the heightened focus on the goings on at its Redmond HQ. >> Full Article <<

Cyber News Rundown: LockBit ransomware claims attack on City of Wichita, KansasNews

Over the weekend, officials for the City of Wichita, Kansas confirmed that they were forced to take several critical services offline because of an encrypting cyberattack. It was later revealed that the LockBit ransomware group had claimed responsibility for the attack and had added the City of Wichita to their leak site, with a ransom deadline of May 15th. Wichita was added to the leak site only days after the initial attack, which is unusual for ransomware, as they typically give the victim more time to negotiate, though this may be due to the LockBit admin, LockBitSupp, being identified by global law enforcement. Read more about this here:El Salvador falls victim to significant biometric data breachResearchers have recently discovered a massive data trove on a hacker forum that contains 144GB of biometric data for over 80% of the citizens of El Salvador. Amongst the data are full identification documents and numbers, contact information, and copies of the headshot pictures used for

Advice to Prevent Phish Tests from Overwhelming Help Desk

Every time we push a phish test our help desk is inundated with tickets from clients “helpfully” informing us that they discovered a phishing email in their inbox.We’ve tried distributing the phish test over the course of a month to keep volume down, but that just spreads out the tickets.We have a few ideas we’re kicking around, but wondering if others have good strategies already in place. Thanks!

Can we audit device per sites if Web Threat Shield extension for Browser is enabled or disabled?

Hi Webroot Team, Newbie here. Can we audit device per sites if Web Threat Shield extension for Browser is enabled or disabled? Also, if the Web Threat Shield extension is disabled from a device with Webroot client program, does it mean that if the User accessed a malicious site, Webroot would not block it? Thank you.

Is Webroot VPN going away?

Hi All,Curious if Webroot VPN is going away now that SaferVPN is being decommissioned as of Dec 15th, 2023. If readers didn’t know, Webroot VPN is technically NOT an in house product, but rather a reskinned/rebranded version of SaferVPN, but added some of their BrightCloud tech to it. I received a notice today that SaferVPN is recommending IPVanish and the website is saying they’ve joined with IPVanish. So does this mean, the Webroot VPN will be changing their product to update it’s look and feel of IPVanish? CuriousRegardsJohn H

Deprecation of old Endpoint Management Console

Good day,I’m curious if anybody can shed any insight on the deprecation of the old Endpoint Protection Console and what we are to expect in terms of changes as of November 28th? I have reviewed training videos and understand where to perform most functions using the new console and entities.Please understand that we have hundreds of a sites listed in our consoles and I have reviewed the videos.Currently if I wish to go to the console and perform work on a site, I can go to the Sites list and I can search and find the site wether that is ABC company or XYZ, then I can click the little pop out or go to Endpoint Protection and click the “Go to Endpoint Protection Console” and I can access the old console.So what happens when the existing console is deprecated? will this button go away? Will there be a new button that will jump us to the specific site in Entities?There are also some logs areas that I’m suspect will no longer be available.Currently I can see which users accessed a site in

Webroot Security Awareness Training Platform Throwing a 500 Error

Hello all!I am a cybersecurity analyst for an MSP and I am in charge of the Security Awareness Training program. I have been getting this error when trying to access the Webroot SAT platform:{"statusCode":500,"error":"Internal Server Error","message":"An internal server error occurred"}Probably every other day I get this error. It is getting annoying as I have to delay training until this error is resolved. Do you guys have insight as to why this is happening? Your help is much appreciated. Thank you!

Where is the new Console Documented? (6.x version)

I seem to be missing something. I assume I’m just blind.Where in the documentation is the new Business Admin Console documented? We’re now on version 6.7, yet all I can find is documentation for the traditional console.

Universal syslog connector: Run as Service

I was really excited to see this Application, we use Rapid7 and there was no good way to get this data into IDR. My excitement was quickly diminished immediately after I installed this software. Why create a software that is to redirect logs, and in this case to a SIEM and not make it run as a service? I tested it, right after I set it up, I monitored the service running and as soon as I logged off my admin account the service stopped and I can only assume the logging stopped as well. Is there anyway to run this as a service? I really don’t need to see the Scrolling CLI, that feature is pretty much pointless.
