SSH Attackers Use Single Exec Commands to Bypass Interactive Honeypot Analysis
SSH attackers are increasingly abusing single non-interactive exec commands over SSH to bypass traditional honeypot analysis, effectively turning post-authentication activity into short, automated probes rather than interactive shell sessions that deception systems were designed to study. Recent measurements on eleven LLM-backed SSH honeypots show that 99.23% of authenticated sessions consist of a single non-interactive exec…

Government and Healthcare Are the Weakest Links in Global Email Security
Government and healthcare sectors have weak email security. Many domains lack SPF, DMARC, DKIM, and MTA-STS, leaving them open to phishing attacks. Comparitech analyzed live DNS records for 5,849 domains across 13 sectors and scored each one out of 8 points based on four standard email authentication protocols: SPF, DMARC, DKIM, and MTA-STS. The results…
