Critical security alert

The importance of patching your Windows platforms against known vulnerabilities as soon as possible has, once again, clashed with the risk that doing so can introduce. While the Forbes Straight Talking Cyber team always advises consumers to update as soon as possible, the advice for businesses has to be more cautious and dependent upon their specific risk profiling. This has been highlighted again as reports of multiple authentication failures after installing the May 2022 Patch Tuesday update , as spotted by Bleeping Computer , are being investigated by Microsoft. This follows authentication failures linked to the November Patch Tuesday update which resulted in an emergency out-of-band fix. The particular problem following the May 2022 update appears to be an authentication failure due to a credentials mismatch where servers are used as domain controllers and involve the mapping of certificates to machine accounts. Something that is highly unlikely to impact consumers but will affect businesses using this specific setup. One user in a Reddit Patch Tuesday support group found that uninstalling the KB5014001 and KB5014011 updates worked as a short-term fix. Bleeping Computer reports that while an upcoming security release will fix the problem, Microsoft recommends the manual mapping of certificates to Active Directory machine accounts . It wouldn't surprise me if we see a similar, and similarly speedy, conclusion as was the case in November last year with an out-of-band eme...

Fortinet published an advisory for a heap buffer overflow vulnerability Monday and an analysis blog by Carl Windsor, senior vice president of product technology and solutions at Fortinet. Windsor warned that attackers might be exploiting CVE-2023-27997, or what Fortinet tracks as FG-IR-23-097.

Exploitation could lead to data loss as well as OS and file corruption. Fortinet warned that the flaw requires immediate customer action and advised users to update their firmware. "Our investigation found that one issue (FG-IR-23-097) may have been exploited in a limited number of cases and we are working closely with customers to monitor the situation," Windsor wrote in the The blog post also addressed potential exploitation activity by Volt Typhoon, a Chinese state-sponsored threat group. During incident response investigations, Fortinet discovered that threat actors primarily exploited an authentication bypass flaw in FortiOS, tracked as CVE-2022-40684, to gain initial access. Other indicators of compromise used in the Volt Typhoon campaign included admin accounts named fortinet-tech-support and fortigate-tech-support. Last month, Microsoft Threat Intelligence warned that While Fortinet said it hasn't observed the Volt Typhoon campaign exploiting CVE-2023-27997, the vendor believes the threat act...

Google critical security alert emails are received by users when there is some suspicious or unwanted activity occurring in their accounts. It could be that someone was trying to log in to your account, or an unusual number of emails were sent at once. You can also receive this email when you log in to Gmail on a new device. Now, scammers can create the same email and send it to you. The email will ask you to take some action because your account is in trouble. Once you click on that link and enter your login credentials, your account will be hacked. Therefore, knowing the difference between a real and fake security alert email is essential. First, I will explain the parameters you need to check for differentiation. Second, I will tell you how to determine if the email is from Google or a scammer. Lastly, there is a section for those who have fallen for the scam and the steps they can take now. How can one differentiate between a real and fake security alert email? There are four details to check in order to determine whether the email is real or not. If these elements look suspicious, the email is likely to be fake. 1. Check the Sender’s Email Address The email you will receive from Google will have the following email address: [email protected] If that’s not the case, then it could very well be a scammer who sent you the email. The job doesn’t end here. The scammers can do email spoofing and make themselves appear as if the email was indeed sent from Google. T...
