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 <<

Cybersecurity in a Race to Unmask a New Wave of AI-Borne Deepfakes

Kevin Mandia, CEO of Mandiant at Google Cloud, calls for content "watermarks" as the industry braces for a barrage of mind-bending AI-generated fake audio and video traffic. May 10, 2024 By Kelly Jackson Higgins RSA CONFERENCE 2024 – San Francisco – Everyone's talking about deepfakes, but the majority of AI-generated synthetic media circulating today will seem quaint in comparison to the sophistication and volume of what's about to come.Kevin Mandia, CEO of Mandiant at Google Cloud, says it's likely a matter of months before the next generation of more realistic and convincing deepfake audio and video become mass-produced with AI technology. "I don't think it's [deepfake content] been good enough yet," Mandia said here in an interview with Dark Reading. "We are right before the storm of synthetic media hitting, where it's really a mass manipulation of people's hearts and minds."The election year is of course a factor in the expected boom in deepfakes. The relative good news is that t

Widely used modems in industrial IoT devices open to SMS attack

May 10, 2024 By Bill Toulas Security flaws in Telit Cinterion cellular modems, widely used in sectors including industrial, healthcare, and telecommunications, could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via SMS.A set of eight separate issues, seven of them with identifiers CVE-2023-47610 through CVE-2023-47616 and another that has yet to be registered, were disclosed last November by security researchers at Kaspersky's ICS CERT division.Before publishing the security issues, the security company had reported them to the vendor in February 2023.On Saturday, at the OffensiveCon conference in Berlin, Alexander Kozlov and Sergey Anufrienko will be providing low level technical details about the security issues and how a threat actor could exploit them to take control of vulnerable Telit Cinterion devices. >> Full Article <<

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

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.
