Expired domain leads to supply chain attack on node-ipc npm package
require(‘node-ipc’). The trojanized versions were designed to remain fully functional to avoid immediate detection, which together with other decisions attackers took, such as data exfiltration via DNS TXT, suggest stealthiness was a top priority.Once executed, the malicious code collects information about the host system, including operating system version, hostname, and environment variables. It then starts…

Microsoft-Edge speichert Passwörter im RAM als Klartext
Windows 10 und 11 nutzen eine Speicherisolation, damit Prozesse in voneinander getrennten virtuellen Adressräumen ausgeführt werden. Unter bestimmten Bedingungen kann jedoch ein gewöhnlicher Anwendungsprozess weiterhin auf den Speicher eines anderen Prozesses im Benutzermodus zugreifen. Das wirft die Befürchtung auf, dass Malware, die mit normalen Benutzerrechten ausgeführt wird, sensible Informationen wie Passwörter und Authentifizierungs-Tokens direkt aus…

Identitäten wie Perimeter behandeln
Der World-Password-Day ist nicht mehr nur ein Anstoß, sich stärkere Passwörter zu wählen, sondern ein Anlass, das Thema Identität neu zu überdenken. Cyberkriminelle müssen sich kaum noch reinhacken, sie stehlen die Zugangsdaten einfach über Phishing, Malware oder gehackte Datenbanken und loggen sich einfach ein. Wiederverwendete Passwörter ermöglichen es ihnen, sich über mehrere Dienste und Plattformen…

World Password Day 2026: The Credential Crisis Hasn’t Gone Away, It’s Just Got More Dangerous

The advice hasn’t changed dramatically. The threat, however, has, and the gap between the two is wider than ever. In 2026, the conversation around passwords…

Warum starke Passwörter nicht vor KI-Gefahren schützen
Angesichts der wachsenden KI-Bedrohungslage verkommt die Message nach starken Passwörtern mit 16 Zeichen und Symbolen am World-Password-Day zur Farce. Ein 16-stelliges Passwort ist nutzlos, wenn eine Infostealer-Malware es direkt aus dem Browser-Cache extrahiert oder ein Mitarbeiter es in einen unkontrollierten KI-Chatbot eingibt. Die Cyberbedrohungslandschaft hat sich rasch zu einer industrialisierten ‘Cybercrime-as-a-Service”-Wirtschaft (CaaS) entwickelt, die von…
