Today’s Topics: Hackers Exploit SSHole OpenSSH Flaw to Compromise Linux Systems SonicWall Patches Exploited SSL-VPN Vulnerability That Can Bypass MFA How can Netizen help? Hackers Exploit SSHole OpenSSH Flaw to Compromise Linux Systems Attackers are actively exploiting a newly disclosed OpenSSH vulnerability that allows unauthorized access to certain Linux systems without valid passwords. The flaw,…

An image attachment might seem like an unlikely starting point for a cyberattack, but Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) files can contain much more than graphics. Their underlying structure supports JavaScript, embedded content, and external references, giving attackers opportunities to redirect users to phishing pages, conceal malicious instructions, and exploit applications that treat uploaded images as…

An attacker does not need to compromise a server to take control of a cloud environment. In some cases, a stolen credential and access to the right API endpoints are enough to manipulate infrastructure, retrieve sensitive information, and establish persistent access without deploying malware. Cloud APIs are responsible for much of the activity that keeps…

A PowerShell process executing across dozens of endpoints could indicate a scheduled maintenance operation, an authorized software deployment, or an attacker moving laterally through a compromised network. From a security monitoring perspective, these activities can look remarkably similar. They may use identical utilities, authenticate with legitimate credentials, and generate many of the same Windows events.…

Botnet takedowns have become a regular part of international cybercrime enforcement, but the history of major malware operations shows that shutting down command-and-control (C2) infrastructure does not always eliminate the underlying threat. Some of the most persistent botnets were built around mechanisms that allowed infected systems to recover communications, locate replacement infrastructure, or continue operating…

Today’s Topics: PHP2Shell Was Under Attack Before the Patches Were Public A Forgotten Credential Turned LiteLLM’s Release Pipeline Into an Attack Path How can Netizen help? PHP2Shell Was Under Attack Before the Patches Were Public Two critical vulnerabilities in the PHP runtime have raised concerns about how quickly attackers can begin targeting widely deployed software…

Infrastructure-as-code has become a standard method for managing cloud environments, allowing organizations to provision networks, configure identity services, and deploy production infrastructure through version-controlled definitions. Terraform plays a central role in these workflows, using providers to translate declarative configurations into API operations against cloud platforms and other infrastructure services. These providers are often treated as…

Organizations depend on machine-generated data to monitor infrastructure, investigate security incidents, and maintain visibility across increasingly distributed environments. Application logs, network telemetry, system diagnostics, and distributed traces provide detailed records of activity that would otherwise be difficult to reconstruct. Security operations centers rely on this information to identify suspicious behavior, correlate events across systems, and…

Exposed credentials in public code repositories are often treated as isolated developer mistakes. An API key gets committed to a configuration file, a service account credential appears in a testing script, or an authentication token makes its way into a repository that was never intended to contain sensitive information. The immediate response is usually to…
