Hackers love LOTL, this approach shuts them down

Every time cyber defenders and companies discover new ways to block intrusions, attackers change their tactics and find a way around the defenses. “Living off the Land” (LOTL) is a prime example: since many detection tools became good at flagging malware, attackers had to find an alternative. They realized that the use of legitimate tools built into operating systems is less likely to raise warning flags, so they leaned heavily into that approach. Recent research … More → The post Hackers love LOTL, this approach shuts them down appeared first on Help Net Security.

Biometric spoofing isn’t as complex as it sounds

Biometric technologies were originally designed to improve security and streamline authentication, but they’re often misused in ways most people don’t notice. Like any system, biometrics has weaknesses that attackers can exploit. Biometric spoofing isn’t as complex as it sounds. It’s basically when someone imitates your biometric traits to fool a system. This could be a printed photo, a 3D-printed fingerprint, or even a recorded voice. Basic facial recognition systems can be fooled with images from … More → The post Biometric spoofing isn’t as complex as it sounds appeared first on Help Net Security.
