N8N vulnerability
In the world of workflow automation, a critical security flaw can transform a productivity engine into a gateway for attackers. The recent discovery of CVE-2025-68668, a n8n vulnerability with a staggering CVSS score of 9.9, serves as a stark reminder of this reality. This flaw, affecting versions 1.0.0 through 1.x, allows any authenticated user with workflow edit permissions to escape the Python sandbox and execute arbitrary system commands on the host server.
AdonisJS BodyParser vulnerability
A critical security flaw designated as CVE-2025-2009 (CVSS Score: 9.8) has been discovered in the BodyParser middleware of the AdonisJS Node.js framework. This vulnerability allows attackers to perform prototype pollution through specially crafted HTTP requests, which can be chained to achieve Remote Code Execution (RCE) on vulnerable servers. This comprehensive guide breaks down the technical exploit mechanics and provides actionable defense strategies.
Viber Messaging Attack
In January 2026, cybersecurity researchers uncovered a sophisticated attack campaign where the Russia-aligned threat actor UAC-0184 (Hive0156) successfully breached Ukrainian military and government systems. Their primary weapon wasn’t a novel malware strain, but the clever abuse of a trusted communication platform: Viber. This Viber messaging attack represents a significant shift in cyber-espionage tactics, moving beyond email to exploit the inherent trust in personal and professional messaging apps.
Kimwolf Android Botnet
In early 2026, the cybersecurity community was alerted to one of the most pervasive mobile threats in recent memory: the Kimwolf Android botnet. This sophisticated malware has infected over two million Android devices, transforming them into weapons for Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks, credential stuffing, and a lucrative residential proxy service. Unlike typical malware that relies on user interaction, Kimwolf exploits a technical misconfiguration, the exposed Android Debug Bridge (ADB) interface, often found on non-standard Android devices like smart TVs and set-top boxes.
Bitfinex Hack Lessons
The 2016 Bitfinex hack remains one of the most instructive breaches in cryptocurrency history. While the recent early release of convict Ilya Lichtenstein under the First Step Act brings the story back into the news, for cybersecurity professionals, the real headline is the timeless security lessons it teaches. This analysis moves beyond the headlines to dissect the technical attack vectors, the procedural failures, and extracts a clear, actionable defense framework you can apply today. Understanding these Bitfinex hack lessons is crucial for anyone responsible for safeguarding digital assets.
VVS Stealer Malware Explained
In the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats, a new and particularly insidious malware named VVS Stealer has emerged, setting its sights on one of the world’s most popular communication platforms: Discord. This isn’t just another piece of nuisance software; it’s a sophisticated information-hacker’s tool designed to vacuum up your digital life, from passwords and authentication tokens to precious cryptocurrency wallets. For cybersecurity professionals, students, and beginners alike, understanding this threat is the first critical step in building an effective defense.
Android RAT Attack Unmasked
In the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats, few actors are as persistent and regionally focused as Transparent Tribe (APT36). Their latest campaign unveils a sophisticated new Android Remote Access Trojan (RAT), marking a significant escalation in mobile-targeted espionage. This guide breaks down this complex attack into understandable concepts, providing a clear roadmap for beginners in cybersecurity to comprehend, detect, and defend against such malware.
The Attack Surface Management ROI Dilemma
You’ve pitched a new Attack Surface Management (ASM) platform to your leadership. You’ve talked about shadow IT, unknown attack vectors, and digital risk. Yet, when the CFO asks for the Return on Investment (ROI), the conversation stalls. How do you quantify the value of a threat that was never allowed to become a breach? This is the fundamental ROI problem in cybersecurity, and it’s particularly acute for proactive disciplines like attack surface management.
Google Cloud Email Abuse
In the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats, a disturbing trend has gained prominence: hackers are increasingly abusing legitimate cloud services to launch sophisticated phishing campaigns. A prime target is Google Cloud email infrastructure, including Google Workspace and Gmail. This tactic, a form of Google Cloud email abuse, allows attackers to bypass traditional security filters that often trust emails from major providers like Google. By setting up seemingly legitimate Google domains or compromising existing accounts, cybercriminals craft emails that appear highly credible, dramatically increasing their success rate for stealing credentials, distributing malware, and orchestrating financial fraud.
Unmasking the RondoDox Botnet
In the shadowy corners of the internet, a new and formidable threat has emerged: the Rondodox botnet. This sophisticated malware is actively exploiting a critical vulnerability in popular TP-Link Archer routers, turning everyday home and office devices into weapons for large-scale attacks. For cybersecurity professionals, students, and beginners, understanding this botnet is not just academic, it’s a crucial step in defending the expanding frontier of the Internet of Things (IoT). This deep dive will dissect the Rondodox botnet, its mechanisms, and, most importantly, provide a clear framework for defense.
