Iran-aligned operators ran a precise phishing campaign against US policy experts. They impersonated scholars, redirected victims to prefilled Microsoft 365 pages, and, when blocked, installed remote-access tools. The goal: long-term visibility into policy drafts, research, and contacts—achieved through identity abuse, inbox rules, and pragmatic persistence.
A trivial surveillance password created an opening at one of the world’s most prominent institutions. Intruders gained awareness and timed their move because credential policy failed. This analysis delivers the signals, mitigations, and governance disciplines that stop repeats: rotation, MFA, segmentation, PAM for service accounts, and continuous validation for VMS and NVR stacks—without resorting to list spam or generic advice.
Criminal crews deploy legitimate RMM tools inside carriers and brokers, then hijack booking and dispatch to steal real freight. This body explains how access lands, which artifacts reveal the intrusion, and what controls stop RMM-driven cargo theft without breaking logistics operations or delaying shipments.
TruffleNet validates stolen AWS keys, profiles accounts, and abuses Amazon SES to run high-leverage BEC. Therefore, clamp down on access keys, isolate SES to a low-trust account, and alert on first-seen identity actions. Consequently, you deny validation, break pivots, and stop invoice fraud before it lands.
Business email compromise drains budgets with executive spoofing and invoice fraud. This practical Microsoft 365 guide shows nine rules that actually stop BEC: tuned anti-phish and impersonation, Safe Links and Safe Attachments, SPF/DKIM/DMARC, phishing-resistant MFA with Conditional Access, external sender tags, mailbox hygiene, attack simulation, and a short incident playbook.
SIM farms expose how weak KYC and SMS OTP let fraud scale. Raids seized SIM boxes and tens of thousands of cards. Here’s how carriers and brands can actually fix it.
Passkeys let your WordPress users sign in with device biometrics or hardware keys no passwords and far less phishing. This no-coding 2025 guide shows trusted plugins, exact setup steps, enrollment tips, and rollout strategy so you can enable passwordless login quickly without breaking wp-login, WooCommerce, or your admin workflows.
Zero Trust in 2025 means verifying every request and limiting access by default. This guide turns principles into a deployable plan: identity-first controls, phishing-resistant MFA, device posture checks, microsegmentation, and centralized policy decisions. Start with fast wins, measure risk reduction, and scale confidently.
EDR-Redir V2 blinds Microsoft Defender by abusing Windows file-system filter drivers with bind links that redirect or corrupt EDR working paths. This practitioner’s guide explains the method, highlights reliable artifacts, and lists resilient mitigations so teams can validate exposure, restore telemetry, and protect Windows 11 fleets without breaking production.
OpenAI’s exploration of memory-based ads raises new privacy and compliance risks. Consequently, security teams should treat memory as persistent data, enforce strict prompt hygiene, require explicit consent, and audit retention. Therefore, keep memory off for sensitive workflows until governance, training, and verification land in production.
