Industry trends, phishing statistics, case studies, threat forecasts.
A backend misconfiguration exposed millions of API keys, session tokens, and user emails in plain sight. What developers missed, attackers found in minutes. This is what happens when novelty outruns fundamentals.
Man-in-the-middle attacks persist not because of weak networks, but because developers trust code paths, certificates, and assumptions that are never properly curated. A technical deep dive into real MITM failure modes.
A personal reflection from years in offensive security on how recovery, community, and honest conversations have become more important than perfect defenses in modern cybersecurity.
Holiday periods create ideal conditions for identity-based attacks: reduced monitoring, delayed response, and persistent access. This PacketHunters analysis explains why attackers prefer holidays and how identity abuse accelerates when vigilance drops.
North Korean threat actors are stealing cryptocurrency through fake Zoom meetings by exploiting trust, screen sharing, and malware delivery instead of blockchain vulnerabilities. These attacks rely on advanced social engineering, targeting crypto founders, developers, and investors to drain wallets and launder funds for state-sponsored operations.
Single Sign-On simplifies access but concentrates trust. This PacketHunters analysis explores how SSO misconfigurations turn identity providers into single points of failure, enabling attackers to pivot across entire organizations using one inherited identity.
Behind every identity-based attack there are humans making decisions, trusting signals, and interpreting reality. In this Decoded episode, the Baited team reflects on identity not as a technical construct, but as a human experience shaped by fatigue, trust, culture, and context.
OAuth tokens are designed to simplify authentication, but when stolen, they allow attackers to bypass passwords and MFA entirely. This PacketHunters deep dive explores how OAuth token theft works, why it enables silent identity takeover, and how modern phishing campaigns exploit session-based authentication.
Digital identities are breaking under pressure – deepfakes, credential leaks, synthetic users, token theft. Identity Month opens by exploring why identity resilience is now the foundation of cybersecurity, and how companies must evolve from access control to continuous verification.
Attackers use AI assistants, leaked aliases, and prompt hijacking to run precise Black Friday phishing campaigns. Here’s how these threats work end-to-end.
