Over the span of just 14 days, threat actors unleashed more than 81 million login attempts against Microsoft’s Azure command-line interface (CLI). The campaign , which security researchers at Huntress identified as an ongoing, automated password-spraying effort, successfully compromised at least 78 Microsoft accounts across 64 organizations between June 12 and June 26, 2026. . While the scale is massive, the underlying strategy is surprisingly surgical. Attackers aren't exploiting a flaw in...

A process with a stable workload shouldn't keep growing its resident memory. When it does, the first question isn't how much RAM is available. It's where the allocations stopped being released. On Linux, that answer isn't always obvious because the kernel, allocator, and application all influence what memory usage looks like from the outside. . Separating normal allocation behavior from an actual leak takes more than watching top or container metrics. Heap growth, allocator caches, mapped...

AI is beginning to reshape how penetration testing workflows are organized. For years, the penetration tester’s workflow has been a labor-intensive ritual: scan, enumerate, research, exploit, and report. But new frameworks are attempting to codify that intuition, turning the "human-in-the-loop" process into a machine-coordinated workflow. But is this a genuine evolution in how we secure Linux environments, or just a sophisticated wrapper around the same old tools? . Dark Moon is an open-source...

Understanding Firewall Audit Tools for Better Security and Compliance

Firewall audit tools automate the otherwise all-but-impossible task of analyzing complex and bloated rule sets to verify and demonstrate enterprise access controls and configuration change-management processes.. Although the market has been driven by compliance--it was essentially created by PCI DSS--these tools can also allow organizations to improve network performance, reduce downtime, improve security and reassign staff from shooting down firewall issues and analyzing configurations to taking on tasks that help grow the business. The problems are familiar to organizations of all sizes--from those with just one or two overtaxed and inefficient firewalls, to large, distributed enterprises with scores or hundreds of firewalls administered by many business units, often all following different policies that may have been written before the units' acquisitions. The link for this article located at Network World is no longer available. . Security assessment utilities optimize adherence and boost system efficiency by clarifying intricate policy evaluations..
