Data leaks and corporate breaches have become routine. In many cases, stolen credentials, databases, or attack tools eventually appear on the dark web, where they are traded and reused in future attacks. Andrey Leskin Social Links Navigation This raises a question for businesses: if stolen corporate data ends up on the dark web, does it make sense to engage with this environment directly — by buying information, paying for services, or negotiating with attackers? The short answer is no. Latest Videos From Not because the dark web doesn’t matter — quite the opposite: it is a core part of today’s cybercriminal infrastructure. The problem is that doing…

Across the UK, cybersecurity incidents have become a familiar feature of the business landscape. Disruptions affecting manufacturing and logistics over the past year have underlined how exposed organizations can be when physical operations are connected and digitalized.

Latest Videos From Louise Bulman Social Links Navigation Vice President International at Dragos. That focus leaves a significant gap.

Why the AI era needs cheap, sovereign, scale-to-zero log search and why ELK and Loki can’t give it to you For years, the smartest thing you could do with old logs was to delete them. A human was only going to look at the last few hours anyway. Keeping a month of logs searchable meant paying for hot storage and for nodes that almost nobody used. So retention windows shrank to 7, 14, maybe 30 days. The rest went to a bucket that nobody could search, and everyone moved on. It was the rational choice. It is not anymore. Three things changed at the same time. Together, they turn long and searchable retention from a niche compliance problem into a general…

MANILA, Philippines — The Supreme Court (SC) has affirmed that the loss or non-presentation of ransom money in court cannot save a kidnapper from conviction, provided the prosecution proves that a ransom demand was made for the victim's release.

The Supreme Court sentenced all the accused to reclusion perpetua, or up to 40 years in prison, without eligibility for parole. They were also ordered to pay a total of P300,000 in civil…

The Question A PowerShell log told me a download failed. What it couldn't tell me was whether the request ever left the host. This was during the SignetDynamics scenario — Week 3 of OffSec's Dune Phantom Gauntlet, a four-week incident response series that wrapped a while back. I was working through the application server's PowerShell logs, and I found this: ScriptBlockText: "iwr -OutFile splunk_license.exe" ... TerminatingError(Invoke-WebRequest): "Unable to connect to the remote server" There was a malicious Splunk app, already living on the box, trying to pull a second-stage payload disguised as a license file. Good news: it failed. But "unable to…

I've spent years building and auditing web applications, and one pattern keeps coming up: developers who are careful about backend security will ship a SaaS product and leave a surprising amount of sensitive logic sitting in plain sight inside the browser. I've done it myself. Most of us have. That disconnect has become more important in recent years. Modern web applications are no longer simple websites with a few scripts attached to buttons. Today's frontend applications contain feature logic, API interactions, tracking systems, pricing flows, UI conditions, analytics triggers, automation patterns, and sometimes even parts of a company's business…
