There's a first time for everything and I'm excited to say I'm the host of a brand new podcast called #ThreatTank! We'll be covering a range of infosec topics and hopefully having a lot of fun along the way.

This podcast covered:
1/ Trees and Wagyu Pigs (not a typo)
2/ #AI Bridging the Cybersecurity Skills Gap
3/ Emergence and Evolution of Cyber Attacks
4/ Attackers Leveraging AI
5/ Challenges in Responding to Cyber Threats
6/ Changing Security #Culture

I still have much to learn about hosting a podcast so I'm also seeking your input. I'm seeking your candid feedback and opportunities to improve.

What did you think? Would you listen again? How could we improve? What would you want to hear discussed? Please do text, DM or comment below.

There's no point in recording a podcast unless you're bringing value to the listener. I hope to hear from you!

This is why this is an important tool. I'd venture to say 100's of thousands of HAR files are currently sitting in 1000's of support ticketing systems just waiting to be stolen. If you're sharing a HAR file, sanitize it. If you're receiving a HAR file from your customer, sanitize it. It'll save you a lot of pain down the road.

"Okta Inc. has discovered that hackers who breached its network two months ago stole information on all users of its customer support system — a scope far greater than the 1% of customers the company had previously said were affected."

Great news! @EdgioApps has released "HAR tools" which comes with a ready-to-use HAR sanitizer!

Why is this important? You might recall the Okta breach from a few weeks back. HAR files were stolen and used to hijack session for a number of other business (1Password, BeyondTrust, and many others).

If you're unfamiliar with HAR files, they are a log of the web browser interactions with a website. Every action the browser takes and all the information it captures is stored in this file, including sensitive cookies and session tokens.

For a deeper dive: https://t.co/rQ18oZKDUs

I did a quick Google search the other day and found nearly 19,000 results which are likely support pages explaining to their customers how to create a HAR file.

So, if you're asked for a HAR file from a support team, Edgio has released a tool you can use to ensure your sensitive information isn't put into a ticketing system waiting to be stolen. If you're a support team leader, this is a great tool to host internally to allow your team to use when a customer sends a HAR file containing sensitive data. What I like about this one is it comes with a baked in API server as well. So you could even build automation in your ticketing system to programmatically sanitize HAR fils as they arrive.

Go check it out!

.@EdgioApps intel team has pulled together details on over 4,000 URLs publicly announced as being defaced by hacktivists over the last two weeks. Let's take a quick look at what they found...

4,069 URLs > 3,480 Domains > 1,426 IPs > 271 ASNs

Said another way: 4,069 URLs across 3,480 unique domains routed to 1,426 IPs managed by just 271 autonomous systems (network operators).

The URL to ASN ratio is 15:1. What does this tell us about the attacks? It indicates that the hacktivists are using a one-to-many approach, indiscriminately targeting multiple websites in bulk, in the name of their cause. They are not aiming for highly precise strikes; rather, they are using cluster bombs, exploiting weak passwords, lack of MFA, and common vulnerabilities across various websites. Their goal is to cause as much damage as possible with minimum effort.

I have some quick recommendations for you, but more details are in the post.

Multi-factor Authentication
Are you tired of seeing this on the list of recommendations yet? There’s a saying, “when you are tired of saying it, people are starting to hear it.” In that case, make sure you have MFA enforced on all accounts with access to your web resources and admin panels.

User Education
This phrase creates so much nausea, yet we think it’s completely underrated. It wouldn’t surprise us if a majority of these one-to-many compromises started with a phishing attack. Take the time to make sure your team understands why all these security controls are necessary. The key here is to make sure it’s timely, relevant, and engaging. Having trouble making it engaging? Reach out; our team has a ton of ideas to help out.

Web Application and API Protection
As we mentioned before, patching is hard, but when you leverage a good Web Application Firewall (WAF), especially a cloud-delivered one with built-in DDoS protection, API security, and bot management, you’ll be able to breathe easier knowing you can stay protected between the time a vulnerability is discovered and a patch is rolled out, with capabilities like virtual patching.
