Is there ever a circumstance when committing a crime can be justified? Picture a scenario where authorities apprehend an individual for hacking into a massive database and publishing the exfiltrated data. As he is put into cuffs, the defendant states, “It was for a good cause.” This defense could very likely be the creed of…

Cyberattacks are relentless, evolving, and increasingly sophisticated; hardening your security posture and safeguarding your organization’s digital assets is more critical than ever.

If you’re old enough to remember landlines (or have seen any 1980s or 90s movie about teens looking to put one over on their parents), chances are your parents pulled a real-world man-in-the-middle attack (MITM) on you. There you were as a sneaky teenager plotting with a friend over the phone about going to a…

People love GIFs. We add them to emails, texts, tweets, and Slack chat groups all day long as we chat away with co-workers, friends, and family. We use them as a communication tool to show emotion and convey a tone when a plain text message might fall flat. If a picture says a thousand words,…

You would be hard pressed to come up with a more nostalgic image than a child running a lemonade stand in their front yard on a hot afternoon. Unfortunately, there is nothing nostalgic about what some young entrepreneurs are doing today.  A team of researchers recently uncovered a group of minors that were running what…

Cybersecurity is a constant game of the cat chasing the mouse. The cat (a business) continues to believe that with each new plan of attack (i.e., security strategy or tool), it will finally be able to catch the mouse or, in this case, harden its security posture enough to prevent the mouse (a bad actor)…

Security experts, including our team at CYREBRO, tout the benefits of using multi-factor authentication (MFA) for an added layer of security.

Discovering…

The MITRE ATT&CK framework is a crucial tool in the cybersecurity landscape that enables organizations to improve their security posture.

In 1972, Edward Norton Lorenz, a mathematician and meteorologist, introduced the world to the Butterfly Effect, giving birth to the science of chaos theory. The “Butterfly Effect” rests on the notion that the world is so interconnected today, that a one-time small occurrence can have a major impact on a larger more complex system. He…

Police officers, during a blackout, often check if a neighborhood has regained power by spotting the faint glow of doorbells. This tiny beacon of light, even in an empty house, indicates the restoration of electricity. Similarly, criminals employ surprisingly simplistic methods to identify potential targets.
