This article explains — in concrete, operational terms —
RustyAttr trojan’s Exploitation of Extended Attributes Cyber threats are evolving rapidly, and attackers are finding increasingly sophisticated ways to bypass detection. One of the latest techniques comes from the Lazarus Group, a well-known Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) actor. Their novel approach involves hiding malicious code in macOS extended attributes (xattr), allowing them to stealthily execute
The internet is built on trust, and HTTPS is a cornerstone of that trust. However, many domain owners unknowingly leave a critical security gap wide open by neglecting to configure CAA (Certificate Authority Authorization) records in their DNS settings. Without CAA records, any Certificate Authority (CA) can issue an SSL/TLS certificate for your domain, whether you authorized it or not.
This guide explores the importance of CAA records, why they should be mandatory, and how to set them up correctly with best practices and lessons learned.
In late October 2024, security researchers uncovered multiple zero-day vulnerabilities affecting CyberPanel versions 2.3.6 and 2.3.7, leading to unauthorized root access on over 22,000 servers and widespread PSAUX ransomware attacks. These critical vulnerabilities make it essential for CyberPanel users to upgrade immediately to the latest, patched version to protect their servers. Here’s a breakdown of the vulnerabilities and a step-by-step guide to upgrade your CyberPanel installation safely.
