∗∗∗ SPF and DMARC use on GOV domains in different ccTLDs, (Fri, Dec 30th) ∗∗∗

Although e-mail is one of the cornerstones of modern interpersonal communication, its underlying Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is far from what we might call robust or secure. By itself, the protocol lacks any security features related to ensuring (among other factors) integrity or authenticity of transferred data or the identity of their sender, and creating a “spoofed” e-mail is therefore quite easy.

Like EternalBlue, CVE-2022-37958, as the latest vulnerability is tracked, allows attackers to execute malicious code with no authentication required. Also, like EternalBlue, it’s wormable, meaning that a single exploit can trigger a chain reaction of self-replicating follow-on exploits on other vulnerable systems.

There can be multiple reasons to keep an eye on a critical/suspicious file or directory. For example, you could track an attacker and wait for some access to the captured credentials in a phishing kit installed on a compromised server. You could deploy an EDR solution or an OSSEC agent that implements an FIM (File Integrity Monitoring). Upon a file change, an action can be triggered. Nice, but what if you would like a quick solution but agentless?

∗∗∗ Backdoor Targets FreePBX Asterisk Management Portal ∗∗∗
---------------------------------------------
Written in PHP and JavaScript, FreePBX is a web-based open-source GUI that manages Asterisk, a voice over IP and telephony server. This open-source software allows users to build customer phone systems. During a recent investigation, I came across a simple piece of malware targeting FreePBX’s Asterisk Management portal which allowed attackers to arbitrarily add and delete users, as well as modify the website’s .htaccess file. Let’s take a closer look at this backdoor.

This is the second part of our Decentralized Identity (DID) blog series. In case you’re not familiar with DID concepts, we highly encourage you to start with the first part. This time we will cover a different DID implementation — Sovrin. We will also see what a critical (CVSS 10) DID vulnerability looks like by reviewing the one we found in this popular implementation.

Among all cybersecurity and privacy workers, the Data Protection Officer (DPO) stands between those auditing a company's compliance and those acting as management advisors. A person that must be somehow versed in legal, management, and cybersecurity technical skills. We describe how this role tackles socio-technical risks in everyday scenarios.
