Internet access is no longer an option; it has become a requirement for everyone. Internet connection has its own set of advantages for an organization, but it also allows the outside world to communicate with the organization’s internal network. Visiting another website requires connection to a specialized computer called a web server, which, like any other computer, can be targeted by hackers. Attackers have the potential to infect the host computer with malware and start DDoS attacks when they connect to a foreign machine. That is where a firewall...
This post explains what is a credential stuffing attack and which are the countermeasures to prevent them. A credential stuffing attempt can be caught as a behavioral anomaly – if you’re looking.

Here’s what you need to know about how they work, and how you can stay safe. What is credential stuffing? “Credential stuffing is...
Introduction: Hacking forums often double up as underground marketplaces where cybercriminals buy, rent, and sell all kinds of malicious illegal products, including software, trojans, stealers, exploits, and leaked credentials. Malware-as-a-service has contributed substantially to the growth of ransomware and phishing attacks (among other attack types) in the past year, as they lower the technical barrier to entry for criminals to carry out attacks. While recently perusing one of these hacking forums during regular research activities, the Zscaler ThreatLabz team came across BlackGuard, a sophisticated stealer, advertised for sale. Blackguard...
The National Security Agency (NSA) this week published a set of best practices for organizations looking to improve the overall security of their networks The guidance is meant to be generic, applicable to a broad range of network devices, and should help administrators prevent adversaries from exploiting their networks. According to the NSA, organizations looking to ensure that a network is protected from threats and that resources are secured should implement multiple defensive layers and also adopt a zero-trust security model. When it comes to network architecture, the NSA...
The malicious attack known as doxing has gone far beyond hacker tools, with the threat now extending to most social media platforms and making nearly anyone a target. Today, doxing continues to be an intimidating prospect for digital users and is a mainstream data security problem. Online users can have a great deal of anonymity, but the growth of digital platforms makes obtaining information more accessible than ever. With any public-facing or dormant digital presence, threat actors can weaponize personal information to humiliate the victim, extort them, or conduct further malware attacks. This article...
