The most serious of these security flaws, designated CVE-2021-37977, might be used to execute arbitrary code on a target system. An unnamed researcher discovered the issue, which was classified as a use-after-free fault in Garbage Collection, last month. Google claims to have paid a $10,000 reward for the discovery. Chrome version 94.0.4606.81 is now available for desktop users, and it also fixes two heap buffer overflow vulnerabilities in Blink (CVE-2021-37978) and WebRTC (CVE-2021-37979)....

On February 5th, the hack was spotted—and neutralized—in real time by workers at a plant that provides water to Oldsmar, a small town near Tampa, Florida. Local Sheriff Bob Gualtieri said an anonymous competitor secretly hacked into the plant and sought to increase sodium hydroxide levels by a factor of more than 100. Sodium hydroxide, also known as lye, regulates the acidity of drinking water, however the public can be physically affected by increased amounts maliciously applied to the water system....

The vulnerability in question, CVE-2019-7481, was patched by SonicWall in 2019, although CrowdStrike warns that firmware updates for outdated SRA devices did not adequately prevent the risk. Since then, proof-of-concept code has been leaked, and CrowdStrike claims that large-scale ransomware attackers have used the flaw to infect earlier SonicWall SRA 4600 VPN routers. SonicWall confirmed to CrowdStrike that the SMA firmware updates contain the patches advised for SRA devices, and that CVE-2019-7481 affects devices with firmware versions 9....

At least one Chinese hacking crew is now scanning the Internet for Windows servers using MySQL databases so that they can use GandCrab ransomware to infect these systems. These attacks are rather unique, as cybersecurity companies haven’t seen a threat actor until now who attacked MySQL servers running on Windows systems for ransomware. Andrew Brandt, Sophos ‘ Principal Researcher, and the author of a honeypot log that detected these new attacks described them in cybersguards e-mail as a’ serendipitous discovery....

Opinions on artificial intelligence’s current and future applications, or, worse, consequences, swing drastically between utopian and dystopian. Our imaginations tend to float into Hollywood-produced waters, teeming with robot revolutions, autonomous cars, and a lack of comprehension of how AI works if we don’t have the necessary moorings. This is mostly because AI refers to various technologies that enable robots to learn in an “intelligent” manner. Machines may learn from their experiences, adapt to new inputs, and execute human-like jobs thanks to artificial intelligence (AI)....

The trouble with HTTPS is that many people who are not familiar with web hosting, Apache, and Linux servers are unable to properly implement it. One of the main deployment challenges I’ve seen is individuals struggling to find a good way to switch visitors from their website’s non-HTTPS implementations to the HTTPS update. Let’s presume you have your website at https:/www.example.com, for example. What if a person is arriving at http:/www....

If you need to archive and backup large volumes of data, you have two options. Companies that are concerned about data security and automation are more likely to opt for a virtual tape library. Others prefer the traditional approach of using physical tapes. Despite being seen as a dated technology, magnetic tape cartridges can provide a 400% increase in reading speed compared to hard disk drives. Traditional tape libraries are also the cheapest way to store long-term data....

When it comes to antivirus software, Bitdefender is one of the top solutions. If there’s a reason you’d like to disable it, we’ll explain how to do so. However, before you do so, see if there is a better option. Because it is dangerous to switch off antivirus protection for an extended period of time, the default setting is to disable Bitdefender for 5 minutes. If the firewall is causing problems, you can disable it in the same way, but you might want to consider adding an exclusion so that the app that was obstructed can still run while the firewall handles the other apps....

Three of the new exploits target TOTOLINK routers, one targets the D-Link DIR-810L, DIR-820L/LW, DIR-826L, DIR-830L, and DIR-836L routers, and one targets the TP-Link Tapo C200 IP camera. Fortinet’s FortiGuard Labs researchers discovered the new Beastmode exploits (dubbed B3eastmode after text in the code and an HTTP User-Agent header ‘b3astmode’ within the exploit requests). “Even though the original Mirai author was arrested in fall 2018, this… highlights how threat actors, such as those behind the Beastmode campaign, continue to quickly incorporate newly published exploit code to infect unpatched devices with the Mirai malware,” the researchers write....
