We see that one of our vulnerabilities is exploited in the wild Link. So we decided to public the detail analysis of our two bug chains. Any customer has enough information to mitigate these bugs. The vendor also released all patches a week ago. This blog post shares the detail

Nouvelles règles: Boom des enregistrements de pilotes de drone en Suisse
Quelques 10'000 pilotes se sont officiellement enregistrés auprès de l'Office fédéral de l'aviation civile (OFAC) depuis un mois, après l'annonce des nouvelles prescriptions. Environ autant d'utilisateurs ont passé un examen d'exploitation.

This is a statement on the NZZ news article from January 9, 2023 about alleged weaknesses in Threema's encryption. But these are completely impractical and theoretical.

Three Lessons from Threema: Analysis of a Secure Messenger
Threema is a Swiss encrypted messaging application. It has more than 10 million users and more than 7000 on-premise customers. Prominent users of Threema include the Swiss Government and the Swiss Army, as well as the current Chancellor of Germany, Olaf Scholz. Threema has been widely advertised as a secure alternative to other messengers. In our work, we present seven attacks against the cryptographic protocols used by Threema, in three distinct threat models. All the attacks are accompanied by proof-of-concept implementations that demonstrate their feasibility in practice.

I scanned every package on PyPi and found 57 live AWS keys
After inadvertently finding that InfoSys leaked an AWS key on PyPi I wanted to know how many other live AWS keys may be present on Python package index. After scanning every release published to PyPi I found 57 valid access keys from organisations like: Amazon themselves 😅 Intel Stanford, Portland and Louisiana University The Australian Government General Atomics fusion department Terradata Delta Lake And Top Glove, the worlds largest glove manufacturer 🧤

At the end of November 2022, OpenAI released ChatGPT, the new interface for its Large Language Model (LLM), which instantly created a flurry of interest in AI and its possible uses. However, ChatGPT has also added some spice to the modern cyber threat landscape as it quickly became apparent that code generation can help less-skilled threat actors effortlessly launch cyberattacks. In Check Point Research’s (CPR) previous blog, we described how ChatGPT successfully conducted a full infection flow, from creating a convincing spear-phishing email to running a reverse shell, capable of accepting commands in English. The question at hand is whether this is just a hypothetical threat or if there are already threat actors using OpenAI technologies for malicious purposes. CPR’s analysis of several major underground hacking communities shows that there are already first instances of cybercriminals using OpenAI to develop malicious tools. As we suspected, some of the cases clearly showed that many cybercriminals using OpenAI have no development skills at all. Although the tools that we present in this report are pretty basic, it’s only a matter of time until more sophisticated threat actors enhance the way they use AI-based tools for bad.

Armed With ChatGPT, Cybercriminals Build Malware And Plot Fake Girl Bots
Users of underground forums start sharing malware coded by OpenAI’s viral sensation and dating scammers are planning on creating convincing fake girls with the tool. Cyber prognosticators predict more malicious use of ChatGPT is to come.
