Bharat Bhise HNA Talks about Airport Cybersecurity: 97% Failure

Bharat Bhise HNA joins the rest of the world in reveling in the shocking news: 97% of the world’s airports soundly failed a cybersecurity test from ImmuniWeb. In the 2020 annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos-Klosters, the WEF had expressed concern in the cybersecurity found in the world’s airports. After all, millions of travelers pass through these airports every year, traveling across the globe. Their most sensitive personal information and data get processed through the airports—for immigration purposes, visas, and more. Their addresses, social security numbers, personal information, and other vital information are all referred back to in these airports. So it goes without saying that it’s merely a reasonable expectation for airports to have foolproof security. Sadly, from what Bharat Bhise HNA understands from the results of the study, that is not the case. The Gaping Holes In a sweep of the 100 most prominent international airports in the world, ImmuniW...

Bharat Bhise HNA: Understanding the Cloud’s Most Common Vulnerabilities can Help Prevent Cyberattacks

With more businesses transitioning to the cloud, Bharat Bhise HNA stresses that the risk of targeted malicious attacks, data breaches, and threats also increases. Consider the recently discovered 'Cloud Snooper' attack: it makes use of a rootkit to bring malicious traffic to an individual's on-premise firewall and AWS. Afterward, a remote access trojan (RAT) is dropped. While this is a new attack method, many hackers continue to rely on time-tested techniques to gain entry into important organizational data. A misconfigured API or API credentials exposure is one of the widest known methods to access a cloud environment. Once an attacker gets an access key, they use it on a platform of their control and run API calls for privilege escalation or malicious activity. These keys are usually exposed through BitBucket, Github, and shared snapshots or images. Bharat Bhise HNA shares an example of this kind of attack, which was the recent leak of personal information from over...

Bharat Bhise On Adobe’s Fix Of Serious Flaws In Adobe’s ColdFusion, After Effects and Digital Editions

Bharat Bhise HNA reports that Adobe has issued security patches for flaws in its Digital Edition, After Effects, and ColdFusion applications. If attacked, the vulnerabilities could allow black hat hackers to obtain confidential data, launch denial-of-service attacks, and gain escalated privileges. Each bug was rated as important in severity based upon the Common Vulnerability Scoring System. It marks a tremendously low-volume period for Adobe flaw fixes. In all, Adobe patched vulnerabilities connected to five CVEs in its scheduled Tuesday security updates. That number is insignificant compared to March when Adobe fixed bugs in an out-of-band patch related to 41 CVEs throughout its products. Bharat Bhise HNA notes that 29 of those were rated critical in severity. In February, Adobe patched updates connected to 42 CVEs wherein 35 bugs were rated critical. Good cyber hygiene Adobe seems to be given a break after many months of highly critical and heavy patches, remarks Jay Goodman, a ...
