The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is fundamental to the functioning of the Internet as we know it, as it serves to route data flows along the optimal routes, through several different hops (or IPs). However, it was not designed with security by design, which opens the door to hijacking BGP-type threats.
Through these types of attacks, malicious actors can redirect traffic, causing data loss, such as in Man-in-the-Middle, among others. This article explores in depth these types of attacks, their impact, and the countermeasures available through mechanisms such as RPKI, IRR, and ROA.
The Avaddon ransomware appears as a disturbing threat that has demonstrated its ability to exploit vulnerabilities in systems, compromising the security and integrity of critical data.
This article dives into the details of how Avaddon works, while also providing a comprehensive analysis of strategies to detect and mitigate the threat.
The presence of Shadow IT, i.e., the unauthorized or unmanaged use of IT technologies and services by employees, poses challenges and risks of considerable magnitude.
The rapid adoption of personal devices and applications, as well as accessibility to cloud services, have increased the complexity of the security landscape. This situation poses a risk that can compromise the confidentiality and integrity of the organization's information.
This article introduces how ESXiArgs operates, and offers an approach to identifying and addressing the threat. Examining the characteristics and behaviours of ransomware, it provides detailed insight into the tactics it uses and how these can be detected in a vulnerable environment. It also explores strategies and best practices for cleaning and disinfecting compromised systems, restoring trust and security to the affected infrastructure.
With this study, we seek to offer a deep knowledge about the reconnaissance activity in cybersecurity, so that professionals from different fields can consider these tactics as an integral part of their security strategies. This study also aims to increase general understanding of these techniques and how they can be used to effectively protect information and systems.
The history of cybersecurity is marked by names that have left an indelible mark on the field of digital threats. Among them, Maze, Egregor and Sekhmet stand out as notable ransomware variants, whose similarities go beyond mere coincidence.
In this article, we will unravel the tactics these ransomwares employed, the encryption mechanisms they used, and the evasion and propagation strategies they employed. The review of these malware will offer us a deeper insight into the persistent threat of ransomware, as well as the importance and need to strengthen our cybersecurity posture.
At the end of 2019, the Ragnarok (or Asnarok) ransomware appeared leaving a trail of digital victims in its path. The malware not only encrypted the files and demanded a ransom, but also threatened to erase and publish the stolen data. This article offers an in-depth look at Ragnarok, from its design and motivation to its methods of infection and spread. In addition, it provides different methods of response and disinfection.
LockerGoga is a ransomware-type malware, first discovered in 2019, that infects computer systems, encrypts your files, and demands a ransom in cryptocurrencies in order to recover them.
