Bloom Security researchers found that npm’s Trusted Publishing feature let an attacker push new versions of someone else’s package without stealing a credential. The attacker only needed to register a GitHub repository name the maintainer had left behind. Bloom counted more than 1,500 npm packages exposed this way, and GitHub, which owns npm, says it has shipped fixes. The exposed packages have more than 10 million d…
You want to set a cryptographic algorithm policy and stop non-compliant choices from being made in your Amazon Web Services (AWS) environment. This post shows you how. As you adopt post-quantum cryptography, one of the first decisions you face is which algorithms and parameter sets fit your business needs, balancing security against signature size, key […]
Software supply chain attacks have grown in both frequency and sophistication. Recent high-profile compromises of build systems and open source dependencies demonstrate that attackers increasingly target the trust mechanisms that verify software integrity. Those trust mechanisms rely on digital signature algorithms, and today many use traditional algorithms such as Rivest-Shamir-Adleman (RSA) and the Elliptic Curve […
Three days after customers in Southeast Asia began reporting drained wallets, Ledger says the damage is limited. In its 72-hour update on X on October 11, the Paris-based hardware wallet maker said “all confirmed cases related to the disclosed draining incident of Oct 9th, 2026, involve devices sold through the Southeast Asia reseller CryptoBilis.” On-chain researchers put suspected losses at more than $93 million. L…
Year after year CISOs see the volume, velocity, and sophistication of attacks increase. They also see their attack surfaces expand and increase in complexity. Advances in artificial intelligence and the rapid growth of AI use in business are also impacting the security agenda, introducing novel attacks, broadening the attack surface to include AI infrastructure, and presenting governance and security control challeng…
