Stairwell launches Backstory, pioneering agentic investigation for malware blast radius

Stairwell, the AI SOC that stops breaches no one else can, today announced the availability of Backstory, an agentic investigation platform that traces related malware variants, identifies affected systems, and maps the full blast radius of an incident in seconds, so enterprises know what happened, where it spread, and what needs to be contained before precious time is lost.

ShutterGap: Aryon Security finds 3.7M AWS cloud resources exposed beyond CSPM/CNAPP visibility

Research from Aryon reveals that each year, 3,731,699 short-lived cloud resources containing highly sensitive information are publicly exposed. This impacts any organization using AWS services that support public sharing. These exposures often last only minutes or hours, too briefly for periodically scanning CSPM and CNAPP platforms to detect, yet long enough for attackers to discover and copy them.  The findings expose a fundamental limitation of the reactive CSPM/CNAPP model: some cloud misconfigurations can be exploited … More → The post ShutterGap: Aryon Security finds 3.7M AWS cloud resources exposed beyond CSPM/CNAPP visibility appeared first on Help Net Security.

Stolen Meta and Google ad accounts are worth more than the money they hold

Ad account theft, the systematic hijacking of Meta Business Manager and Google Ads accounts, has grown into a commodity-driven cybercrime economy complete with tiered pricing, escrow services, and money-back warranties for stolen accounts. Public reporting on this topic tends to focus on drained ad budgets, but according to Mimecast, that’s often a short-lived gain for attackers. “Both platforms operate on a pre-loaded credit or card-on-file model. Campaigns spend continuously until a budget cap, or the … More → The post Stolen Meta and Google ad accounts are worth more than the money they hold appeared first on Help Net Security.
