There are several reasons why Linux has such a good reputation and has become such a good standard across the world. It is the power behind most internet servers and cloud infrastructures as well as billions of Android devices. It is stable, has consistently high-performance levels, and remains very flexible. You don’t have to deal with expensive licenses, can view and share code, and can customize any part of the interface to suit your demands. In an age of data breaches and continuous...

Accepting file uploads is basically inviting strangers to throw random objects through your front window and hoping your living room furniture catches them. Whether it's profile pictures, PDF invoices, or archive files, handling raw uploads means you're trusting external input to behave. . The file sitting on your disk isn't actually the threat. A malicious JPEG doesn't execute code just by existing in a directory. The real danger is the parser—the image library, the unmanaged C-based PDF...

You've probably trained your team to look for red flags. Odd sender names, urgent language, mismatched links. But a well-crafted spoofed email won't trip any of those wires. It looks legitimate, sounds legitimate, and often comes from a domain that passes every automated check you throw at it. . Attackers know exactly how humans scan an inbox. They design around it. This guide walks you through the techniques attackers use to slip a spoofed email past both your filters and your users and what...

Most Linux teams don't struggle to find vulnerabilities anymore. They struggle to decide which ones deserve attention first. Between daily scanner results, vendor advisories, and hundreds of new CVEs each month, the challenge isn't visibility—it's prioritization. . To solve this, organizations typically lean on the National Vulnerability Database (NVD) and CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog. But these aren’t competing lists. They answer two entirely different questions. While the...

GNOME is officially shortening its standard vulnerability disclosure window from 90 days to 30 days, a change that impacts upstream maintainers, downstream Linux distributions, and system administrators in how they handle software vulnerabilities. The policy shift, announced by long-time security coordinator Michael Catanzaro , addresses modern software patching realities and a growing influx of automated submissions. . Because GNOME is the default desktop environment on several major Linux...

PumpUp: Data Breach Affects 6 Million Users - Serious Threat Detected

While it's not at the catastrophic level of MyFitnessPal's 150 million-user data breach , the company behind the workout app PumpUp left information for 6 million of its members exposed. The Amazon cloud-hosted back-end server holding the data didn't have a password set up for an uncertain lenght of time, enabling anyone to observe sign-ins and exchanged messages.. According to ZDnet, the server is now secured -- but it's still exposing data when it acts as a broker exchanging user messages. It uses a communication protocol normally reserved for communicating with Internet of Things devices and apps, which is low-bandwidth but transitory, letting anyone peer in and observe data as it's being sent back and forth. The link for this article located at Engadget is no longer available. .
