September episode of “In The Trend of VM”: 7 CVEs, fake reCAPTCHA, lebanese pagers, VM and IT annual bonuses. Starting this month, we decided to slightly expand the topics of the videos and increase their duration. I cover not only the trending vulnerabilities of September, but also social engineering cases, real-world vulnerability exploitation, and practices of vulnerability management process. At the end we announce a contest of questions about Vulnerability Management with gifts. 🎁

Trending vulnerabilities of July according to Positive Technologies.

The SecLab film crew went on vacation. Therefore, there was a choice: to skip the episode of “In the trend of VM” about the July vulnerabilities, or to make a video myself. Which is what I tried to do. And from the next episode we will return to SecLab again.

No Boot – No Hacker!

Leave a reply

No Boot – No Hacker! Updated track. It seems that the case with the CrowdStrike BSODStrike incident is coming to a logical conclusion. Why this happened is already more or less clear. All that remains is long legal battles between clients and the vendor. Therefore, I am closing this topic for myself with an updated track made in Suno. It’s in Russian, but subtitles are available on YouTube.

My position is that BSODStrike was not the problems of a specific company, but rather the problems of cloud CyberSecurity services with agents, whose architecture is vulnerable. Such services literally force customers to overtrust them. 🤷‍♂️ I don’t think it’s right to keep silent about this. We need to call for improving the security, transparency and controllability of such services.

It should be understood that this was just a small and relatively harmless failure, but someday we will see a case with a full-scale attack through a hacked cloud vendor. And, as it seems to me, at the moment, on-premise solutions have their advantages.
