Iran-Linked Hackers Abuse Legitimate Developer Tool to Hide Dindoor Backdoor
Threat actors are increasingly turning legitimate software into part of their attack chains. Instead of deploying an obviously malicious executable, attackers can abuse trusted tools that already have legitimate uses on Windows systems, making malicious activity harder to distinguish from normal software behavior. According to Cybersecurity News, Iran-linked operators are abusing the legitimate Deno JavaScript…

False Positive Elimination: How Runtime Context Saves Developer Time
<div cla TL;DR Traditional application security tools generate false-positive vulnerability findings because they analyze code patterns without execution context, flagging vulnerabilities in code that never runs with untrusted data. Runtime instrumentation solves this by observing actual production behavior, revealing that only a small percentage of flagged vulnerabilities are truly exploitable. Reducing application security false positives…
