PyPI Preventing Domain Resurrection Attacks

Preventing Domain Resurrection Attacks Summary PyPI now checks for expired domains to prevent domain resurrection attacks, a type of supply-chain attack where someone buys an expired domain and uses it to take over PyPI accounts through password resets.

XenoRAT malware campaign hits multiple embassies in South Korea

According to Trellix researchers, the campaign has been running since March and is ongoing, having launched at least 19 spearphishing attacks against high-value targets.

That 16 Billion Password Story (AKA "Data Troll")

Spoiler: I have data from the story in the title of this post, it's mostly what I expected it to be, I've just added it to HIBP where I've called it "Data Troll", and I'm going to give everyone a lot more context below. Here goes: Headlines one-upping each other on the number of passwords exposed in a data breach have become somewhat of a sport in recent years.

Booking.com phishing campaign uses sneaky 'ん' character to trick you

Threat actors are leveraging a Unicode character to make phishing links appear like legitimate Booking.com links in a new campaign distributing malware. The attack makes use of the Japanese hiragana character, ん, which can, on some systems, appear as a forward slash and make a phishing URL appear realistic to a person at a casual glance. BleepingComputer has further come across an Intuit phishing campaign using a lookalike domain using the letter L instead of 'i' in Intuit. Booking.com phishi

Multimodal WFH setup: flight SIM, EE lab, and music studio in 60sqft/5.5M²

Once the basics were done, the real game of Tetris began: First up, just like the conferencing capabilities, we segmented the work modes into 4 distinct groups.

If we’re going to unleash LLM tools on our email, we need to be very confident that this kind of attack won’t work. My hypothetical digital assistant is called Marvin. What happens i

Apple's Favoritism to Fastmail

Congrats to @Fastmail , the only provider @Apple allows to send push notifications to the iOS Mail app. No announcement. No documentation. No access for anyone else. Just quiet favoritism. We genuinely like @Fastmail . We’re happy for them. But @Apple has chosen a winner in private, giving one provider a major advantage and refusing the same to everyone else. We’ve tried to talk. @Apple just stops responding once they realize what we’re asking. Our customers want answers, and unlike Apple, we do
