Calm the Churn with the RSA Archer Ignition program

Posted on by

If as a child you marveled at watching the simple, fascinating micro-example of physics of a pebble dropped into a puddle, you know what the results are. The pebble drops; the water’s surface is broken; ripples fan out from the point of impact… such an unassuming yet beautiful study of cause and effect.   Now, imagine…

Kingslayer – A Supply Chain Attack

Posted on by

Today, RSA is publishing new research on a sophisticated software supply-chain attack – dubbed “Kingslayer”. RSA Research investigated the source of suspicious, observed beaconing thought to be associated with targeted malware. In the course of their investigation, RSA discovered a sophisticated software supply-chain attack involving a Trojan inserted in otherwise legitimate software; software that is…

by Kent Backman and Kevin Stear, RSA Research Backstory If a sophisticated exploitation campaign is broad enough, it will attract the attention of multiple threat researchers. Such is the case of the malicious, multi-faceted exploitation campaign and botnet RSA Research has dubbed “Schoolbell.” In this blog, RSA will build on existing industry research and dig…

Act at the Speed of Fraud: Take the Challenge

Posted on by

How fast can you find fraud?  That is the challenge put forth by the RSA Fraud & Risk Intelligence team at RSA Conference 2017. Why the emphasis on speed? Simply put, the faster an organization can isolate the source of fraud, the faster they can respond. And based on RSA’s research, there is a gaping…

Ham Radio Trips Circuit Breakers

Posted on by

Arc-fault circuit breakers are a boon for household electrical safety. The garden-variety home electrical fire is usually started by the heat coming from a faulty wire arcing over. But as any radio enthusiast knows, sparks also give off broadband radio noise. Arc-fault circuit interrupters (AFCI) are special circuit breakers that listen for this noise in the power line and trip when they hear it. The problem is that they can be so sensitive that they cut out needlessly. Check out the amusing video below the break.

Our friend [Martin] moved into a new house, and discovered that he could flip …read more

Are Software Supply Chain Attacks the New Norm?

Posted on by

How many of us stop to think about updating software we use every day? Do you think “maybe I should check for threats on this before I install it?” Or do you wait for it to automatically update? For many of us, we don’t consider the security of the everyday software we use. This is…
