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...

The Linux Foundation has officially launched Akrites , a coordinated industry initiative designed to improve how critical open source vulnerabilities are validated, coordinated, and disclosed before patches reach downstream users. Backed by a diverse coalition—including AWS, Google, Microsoft/GitHub, Red Hat, NVIDIA, and OpenAI—Akrites establishes a shared Security Incident Response Team (SIRT) to streamline the validation, remediation, and disclosure of vulnerabilities in the foundational...

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...

Blumira Uncovers New Log4j Attack Vector via Javascript WebSocket

A basic Javascript WebSocket connection can trigger a local Log4j remote code attack via a drive-by compromise. Wonderful. Truly wonderful. . It doesn't rain, but it pours. Previously, one assumption about the 10 out of 10 Log4j security vulnerability was that it was limited to exposed vulnerable servers. We were wrong. The security company Blumira claims to have found a new, exciting Log4j attack vector . You didn't really want to take this weekend off, did you? Of course not! Instead, you'll be chasing down vulnerable Log4j code ever deeper into your network. According to Blumira, this newly-discovered Javascript WebSocket attack vector can be exploited through the path of a listening server on their machine or local network. An attacker can simply navigate to a website and trigger the vulnerability. Adding insult to injury, WebSocket connections within the host can be difficult to gain deep visibility into. That means it's even harder to detect this vulnerability and attacks using it. The link for this article located at ZDNet is no longer available. . Uncovering a fresh vulnerability in Log4j via JavaScript WebSocket communications prompts significant security alarms.. Log4j Attack Vector, Javascript Exploit, Remote CodeExecution. . Brittany Day
