A novel malware named CosmicStrand is said to be targeting the old motherboards offered by Asus and Gigabyte and the crux is that it can survive operating system re-installs and it survives in Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFIs) unlike just the storage drive.
The user ianch99 in the QNAP NAS community forum reported that the antivirus ClamAV was failing to update due to 0.0.0.0 “Since recent firmware updates, the ClamAV Antivirus fails to update due to 700+ clamav.net entries in /etc/hosts, all set to 0.0.0.0 clamav.net host file entries. e.g.” wrote the user ianch99.
Most of us already know the importance of using antivirus , anti-malware, and VPNs to secure our computers, phones, and other devices against potential attacks. Update your printer firmware to the latest version. Original post: [link]. Not so much. Change the default password.
Antivirus and EDR tools, SIEM systems (security information and event management), security vendors, software, hardware, firmware, and operating systems. Purchased data from reputable sources or black markets. Credentials, emails, employee names, roles, departments/divisions, and physical location.
Remcos Remcos is marketed as a legitimate software tool for remote management and penetration testing. For the top malware strains, the advisory provides six mitigations: Update software, including operating systems, applications, and firmware, on IT network assets. Qakbot can also be used to form botnets. Enforce MFA.
In March 2018, security researchers at Antivirus firm Dr. Web discovered that 42 models of low-cost Android smartphones are shipped with the Android.Triada.231 Threat actors compromised third-party software or the installation of malware-laced firmware. The only way to remove the threat is to wipe the smartphone and reinstall the OS.
IIoT applications offer a great return on investment while enabling manufacturers to improve automation, visibility, customer-centricity, and time to market. In a typical quality control process, after manufacturers produce an item, it’s tested by quality control with the aim of rectifying flaws before the product reaches the market.
The manufacturer of the mobile device preloads an adware application or a component with the firmware. Individuals who generate that many installation packages are obviously not worried about antivirus software. The verdict is applied where the antivirus databases still lack the signatures or heuristics for detection.
Automated patch management can help prevent security breaches by automatically identifying, downloading, testing, and delivering software and firmware updates to devices and applications through the use of specialized software tools. It also provides endpoint protection solutions such as antivirus and firewall to help safeguard networked PCs.
The vendor reports show that most attackers want credentials, most malware development is in credential-stealing software, and the market for stolen credentials is booming: Cisco: Found 54% of organizations experienced a cybersecurity incident; and of those incidents, 54% involved phishing and 37% involved credentials stuffing.
Vulnerabilities can be found in various parts of a system, from low-level device firmware to the operating system, all the way through to software applications running on the device,” said Jeremy Linden, senior director of product management at Asimily.

Managed endpoint security installs, configures, and maintains endpoint protection tools ( antivirus , endpoint detection and response (EDR), etc.) and installed software (operating systems, applications, firmware, etc.).
The traffic is then decrypted and inspected using antivirus scanning and web filtering. For this reason, software and firmware providers often release updates and patches to thwart hackers’ attempts. Many top SD-WAN vendors continue to adopt SASE capabilities to shore up client exposure in the budding secure SD-WAN market.
Salaries should increase to keep up with both market trends and increasing responsibilities related to the growing sophistication and frequency of cyberattacks. Install, regularly update, and enable real-time detection for antivirus software. Keep all operating systems, software, and firmware up to date.
Endpoint Security: Antivirus , anti-spyware , endpoint detection and response (EDR), and other controls should be deployed to secure the endpoint against compromise. Enterprise Mobile Management (EMM) or Mobile Device Management (MDM): Restrict applications and connections with portable (laptops, etc.) and mobile (phones, tablets, etc.)
You cannot go ahead and install an antivirus on the IoT device, they don't have enough processing power. Problem is, there are a lot of server services on the market today. Vamosi: The devices themselves are becoming less and less expensive, Yay, but would you rather upgrade the firmware on a toothbrush, probably not.
You also need to know the status of their security programs, operating systems, firmware updates, patching, and the like. The organization is striving to establish the fundamentals of its cybersecurity program, having a sense of its attack surface and using basic protections such as an antivirus program to build some defenses.
Such discoveries usually lead to massive and indiscriminate exploitation, and compromised machines are sold on dark markets to secondary buyers for the purposes of ransomware deployment. Our own telemetry also confirms that RDP brute-force attacks have remained predominant throughout 2022. Another is the open-source offensive tool Sliver.
