The U.S. government — along with a number of leading security companies — recently warned about a series of highly complex and widespread attacks that allowed suspected Iranian hackers to siphon huge volumes of email passwords and other sensitive data from multiple governments and private companies. But to date, the specifics of exactly how that attack went down and who was hit have remained shrouded in secrecy.
This post seeks to document the extent of those attacks, and traces the origins of this overwhelmingly successful cyber espionage campaign back to a cascading series of breaches at key Internet infrastructure providers. Continue reading A Deep Dive on the Recent Widespread DNS Hijacking Attacks

Strap in for this one: A bizarre mess in the world of security certificates has resulted in over 23,000 SSL certificates revoked in one fell swoop, accusations of malpractice and legal threats. As to why the conflict started in the first place, we don’t exactly know. Early Wednesday, thousands of customers began receiving emails from the security firm DigiCert saying their SSL certificates were being revoked because of a security compromise at Trustico. Trustico, a SSL reseller, quickly and emphatically denied that any compromise took place. In response, DigiCert began posting numerous private keys — after the impacted certificates were changed — as proof of compromise. Here’s the Wednesday morning email that started everything: @digicert can you please explain the email I received from rapidssl/digicert blaming @MrTrustico for the revocation of my certs in 24hrs due to them reporting a compromise of the private keys? Where’s the proof of the report/breach? Why are […]

Cybersecurity companies spend a lot of money on their research and the infrastructure they build to conduct it, so it’s counter-intuitive that they would give it away — but that’s exactly what two of the biggest firms are doing this summer. Comodo recently announced Comodemia, a program that would make its vast database on more than 120 million malware incidents — and the analytics engines used to mine it for insights — available online for university, government, and nonprofit researchers and educators. “Many researchers currently spend the majority of their time building the tools and the environment they need to do code compiling, malware analysis, phishing detection … It can take months before the real research can even begin,” explained Fatih Orhan, Comodo’s vice president of threat labs. “That’s where we can offer a benefit.” A list of features Comodemia would offer include: “A feed, accessible in realtime of all the threat data we collect […]

“No research is ever really finished,” observes Kenneth Geers, senior research scientist for Comodo. He’s talking about the second massive set of data he’s crunched in two weeks: The Comodo Threat Labs Q2 2017 report. It was only a week ago that Geers released Comodo’s Q1 data — the first time the company sought to leverage the huge amounts of information about malware attacks gathered by the 90 million installs of its software across the world. This time around, the dataset is four times as large — more than 97 million malware incidents — and Geers told CyberScoop the analysis he’s been able to do on it so far is “just scratching the surface.” “I’m going to be working all week,” he said, preparing for a presentation at DEF CON Saturday. In Q1, he demonstrated that “different malware types map against [national] GDP per capita.” The more advanced types of malware, like backdoors, make up a greater […]
