Welcome to the Threatsploit Report of covering some of the important cybersecurity events, incidents and exploits that occurred this month such as Application Security, Mobile App Security, Network Security, Website Security, API Security, Cloud Security, Host Level Security, Cyber Intelligence, Thick Client Security, Threat Vulnerability, Database Security, IOT Security, Wireless Security.
Press articles often try to simplify reading and, as a result, don’t always go that much into detail when illustrating a new cyber-attack to the broad public. That being said, we thought it might be helpful to write a post on this exact topic and demystify malware typology. Because, whereas we might not all be cybersecurity prodigies, understanding more about the threats on our machines can help us better protect ourselves. Without further ado, we give to you our very own Malware Dictionary.

Globally recognized cybersecurity expert and best-selling author, Sai Huda, says the top three cyber threats that all organizations need to be on heightened alert for in 2021 are ransomware, cloud misconfigurations exploit and supply chain compromise.
Sai Huda advises businesses on cyber risk management and is a frequent keynote speaker at major industry conferences. He is also the author of the best-selling book “Next Level Cybersecurity: Detect the Signals, Stop the Hack.” In this ground-breaking book, Sai Huda reveals 15 signals that provide early tip-offs to cyberattacks and a seven step method to implement an early warning and detection system to stop a cyber attack in time and prevent loss or damage.
Sai Huda is warning businesses worldwide to be on heightened alert for ransomware, especially new variants that are programmed to scan for keywords that indicate mission critical or highly sensitive data so that critical data can be found quickly. Then the ransomware will exfiltrate a copy, then it will encrypt and lock down access to the data and demand a ransom payment. The attacker will then release a portion of the data publicly to extort the victim to pay the ransom. Phishing and unpatched vulnerabilities are the two main ways the attacker is able to insert ransomware.
He is also warning that cloud misconfigurations are another major threat as businesses move to the cloud but fail to configure properly all of the systems and services the cloud provider makes available. The cloud provider is responsible for security of the cloud, while the business itself is responsible for security in the cloud. Cloud configurations require specific know-how to prevent and detect a cyber attack. Otherwise, there will be many doors and windows open for an attacker to exploit and break in.
Supplier compromise is also another major threat, especially software providers, as evident with the recent SolarWinds supply chain compromise, where the attackers inserted a backdoor malware into the software update process at the supplier and with one fell swoop, as thousands downloaded the software update, the attacker gained entry undetected into thousands or organizations worldwide. So a compromise at a supplier can be the backdoor into the organization.
Regardless, there will be signals of the attackers and in his book Sai Huda reveals the signals that organizations must be on the look out for to prevent becoming victim to ransomware, cloud misconfigurations exploit or supply chain compromise.
A comprehensive survey ransomware attacks prevention, monitoring and damage c...RSIS International
Ransomware is a type of malware that prevents or
restricts user from accessing their system, either by locking the
system's screen or by locking the users' files in the system unless
a ransom is paid. More modern ransomware families,
individually categorize as crypto-ransomware, encrypt certain
file types on infected systems and forces users to pay the ransom
through online payment methods to get a decrypt key. The
analysis shows that there has been a significant improvement in
encryption techniques used by ransomware. The careful analysis
of ransomware behavior can produce an effective detection
system that significantly reduces the amount of victim data loss.

Dyre: Emerging Threat on Financial Fraud LandscapeSymantec
A significant upsurge in activity over the past year has seen Dyre emerge as one of the most dangerous financial Trojans, capable of defrauding customers of a wide range of financial institutions across multiple countries.
Dyre is a highly developed piece of malware, capable of hijacking all three major web browsers and intercepting internet banking sessions in order to harvest the victim’s credentials and send them to the attackers.
Dyre is a multi-pronged threat and is often used to download additional malware on to the victim’s computer. In many cases, the victim is added to a botnet which is then used to send out thousands of spam emails in order to spread the threat further afield.
TrendLabs 2012 Annual Security Roundup: Evolved Threats in a “Post-PC” WorldInfinigate Group
Experts have been predicting the coming “post PC” era for a few
years. So the question has been, “when will we know that it’s
really here?” A simple answer is, we’ll know it’s really here when
cybercriminals move beyond the PC. By that measure, 2012 is truly
the year we entered the post-PC era as cybercriminals moved to
embrace Android, social media platforms, and even Macs with their
attacks.
Despite growing security measures, malware and trojans are not only increasing in number, but also intensifying in sophistication, posing a constant challenge to organizations and end-users. For more information, visit http://ibm.co/19hO5G4

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
