The researchers link the campaign to recent incidents, such as the case of Troy Hunt’s Mailchimp account compromise from late last month and an Akamai SendGrid account hack BleepingComputer reported in mid-March 2025, where the legitimate account was used to send out Coinbase seed phrase phishing emails. Although the PoisonSeed campaign shares similarities with operations by the CryptoChameleon and Scattered Spider…

In this Black Hills Information Security (BHIS) webcast, you will learn tools and techniques for performing penetration tests against Microsoft Azure environments. Increasingly, more organizations are migrating resources to being hosted in the cloud. With this comes a greater potential for misconfiguration if there isn’t a solid understanding of the attack surface. While there are many similarities between traditional on-premises pentesting and cloud-based pentesting, the latter is an animal of its own. This webcast attempts to clear up some of the fogginess around cloud-based pentesting, specific to Microsoft Azure environments, including Microsoft 365. In order to adequately determine the attack…

Technology has entered all areas of life, and our cars are no exception. They have become computers on wheels, equipped with sensors, software, and connectivity that provide safety and comfort. However, like all technological innovations, this one also brings risks, making cars vulnerable to cyberattacks. The very fact that someone can hack a vehicle and take control of it is terrifying, turning scenarios from movies into reality. Add to this the fact that software in cars processes and stores our personal data, and this fear takes on a new dimension. In the event of a security breach, things like our…
