200.000 Routers Vulnerable To Critical RCE Vulnerability 📡🗡️

A recent study found a critical vulnerability that could allow an unauthorised attacker to execute arbitrary code. The exposure has a maximum score of 10.0 and affects 29 router models.

To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker does not require credentials or user interaction - an attack on devices in a standard configuration can be easily carried out over the Internet or a local network.

This vulnerability allows hackers to perform many dangerous actions, such as:

🗡️ Full device capture;
🗡️ Gaining access to information about the victim;
🗡️ Preparing the ground for MitM attacks;
🗡️ Change DNS settings;
🗡️ Using routers as part of a botnet for DDoS attacks and crypto miners;
🗡️ Gaining access to devices connected to a hacked network.

At least 200,000 of the 700,000 routers discovered are vulnerable. The remaining 500,000 can also be attacked by hackers, but only through the local network and cross-site request forgery. To take control of the device's OS, an attacker only needs to use a set of base64-encoded credentials that are entered in the login fields.

Why Should You Avoid Unnecessary Downloads? 🥷💻

🥷 Downloads are the prominent tactic hackers use to gain access to your network. To protect your computer and your data, limit the number of downloads. Any unnecessary software or browser extensions should be avoided.

💻 If downloading is safe, always choose a custom install and observe. If any add-ons or extensions appear during automatic installation, decline them.

Is 128-Bit Encryption Enough? What Are These Numbers, And How Many Are Needed? 🛡️🗡️

🛡️ Encryption on computers uses the same principle used to encrypt messages for centuries. To hide the information, someone encrypts the letter with a key. The key can be any text. For example, it was often a coherent passage from a book before the computer age.

🗡️ The key is used to reverse the reverse encryption and retrieve the original message to decrypt a message. You're forced to brute force the decryption if you don't have the key. It means trying all possible keys until you hit the right one.

🛡️ In software, keys are usually a random string of characters. Each character is 8 bits. So, for example, 16 random characters are 128 bits. If you have a monster 256-character key, that's 2048 bits.

🗡️ Now, there are no shortcuts to breaking modern computerised cryptography. Data scrambling is done so that extra information cannot be extracted from the encrypted data.

🛡️ It will be necessary to wait another 78 years from today and 128 years to reduce this time to a second to break a 128-bit key in 1 year. So the answer is that 128-bit encryption is entirely secure.

94% Of Data Breaches Happen Via Email 📧🥷

📧 Because email is a leading attack vector, this level of security should be prioritised when expanding detection and response capabilities.

🥷 Threats from email do not affect the endpoint until the user opens an attachment or link from a malicious email. An unactivated threat can remain in many mailboxes for long without being detected.

📧 By establishing a connection between a detected threat on an endpoint and the email it came from, you can automatically scan mailboxes and understand who else received the malicious email. You can then quarantine these emails and eliminate the threat, preventing further spread and potential damage.

🥷 That is why every modern person should use protection against hacking and hacker attacks.

Countering Ransomware With Backups 🗡️🛡️

🗡️ The best way to protect against ransomware is to create backups. However, file backups stored locally or on a network drive are vulnerable. Cloud storage is protected from ransomware network scans, so it's a good option if you need to recover your data. The exception is when you connect the cloud storage as a local drive or subfolder.

🛡️ It is best to stop them before they take effect to avoid harm from ransomware. Most attacks start with users unintentionally downloading malware or accidentally running a malicious script.

🗡️ There are two ways to prevent users from downloading ransomware. These are DNS-based content filtering and cyber-protection of email, including sending to quarantine using artificial intelligence.

🛡️ Content filtering based on DNS reputation deters users from browsing blocked websites. Email filters send malicious content and attachments to quarantine for administrator review.

🗡️ Finally, every device, including mobile devices, always runs anti-malware machine learning and behaviour monitoring software. We offer anti-malware services that help detect ransomware before it accesses memory and encrypts files.

4 Ways You Can Provoke a Cyber ​​Attack 👨‍💻💥

1. Invisible Systemic Risk 🤷🏻‍♀️
📍 Companies make daily decisions that negatively impact their security preparedness, such as refusing to shut down a server for proper remediation or choosing to continue running on older hardware and software to save money. These undocumented decisions create a false sense of security and increase the likelihood and severity of an incident.

2. Cultural Gap 🤷🏻‍♀️
📍 Non-IT executives still see security as "just existing" like air or water. It means that it is not considered part of the business decisions. For example, a business leader requesting a new application is unlikely to include "security ready" as a requirement.

3. Broken Accountability 🤷🏻‍♀️
📍 Accountability should mean that crucial stakeholders can justify the decision to take a risk. If accountability means someone gets fired if something goes wrong, no one will interfere.
Reward those who make decisions that best balance the need to protect and manage the business.

4. Lack of Transparency 🤷🏻‍♀️
📍 Some senior executives don't want to hear or admit that security isn't perfect. The presentations are filled with good news about the progress made in the security field, with little to no discussion of gaps and opportunities for improvement. To deal with challenges, IT and non-IT leaders must be prepared to understand and discuss the realities and limitations of how security works.

Ransomware is malware that encrypts essential files in local and network storage and demands a ransom for a key to decrypt the files 🗡️

🔹 Attackers use this type of malware to get money through digital extortion.

🔷 Its purpose is files that are important to your business or individuals. It includes backup copies of files that could help restore information. Once ransomware starts running, it scans local and network storage to find files to encrypt.

🔹 Ransomware is encrypted, so it's impossible to guess the key to the cipher. The only way to recover information is to use backups.

🔷 The way ransomware works makes it particularly dangerous. In the case of ransomware, if there are no backups to restore the data, you have to pay a ransom. It also happens that the victim pays the ransom, but the attackers do not send the decryption key. Other types of malware destroy or steal data but leave you with a few recovery options.

How Cybercriminals Demand Fees By Capturing Your Data 🥷

🌐 Most often, the attacker requires payment in cryptocurrency, mainly in bitcoins. Complicates the search for intruders and that they use an anonymous network. It reduces the likelihood that a cybercriminal will be caught.

💻 After a virus or ransomware encrypts your files, it displays a message to the victim company. Attackers demand payment for a key to decrypt files. The ransom can range from a couple of hundred euros to several million. If the user or company does not pay immediately, the ransom is increased.

🗡️ Some attacks use double extortion. Attackers demand to pay for the decryption of files. They also publish a list of organisations that have been attacked but refused to pay. Double extortion further motivates the victim to pay the ransom and avoid brand damage.

🔑 To eliminate all these problems, you can entrust the protection of your devices to our professionals. We are always happy to help you and advise on any issue!

People in management positions, especially in healthcare, technology, construction, finance, and hospitality, have access to critical personal data of users. You think that this information is adequately protected. But a new study shows not at all.

🗡️ During the experiment, 290 million cases of data leakage around the world were analysed. And then, from all the cases, they singled out those in which the hacked passwords of the company's CEOs became the cause.

🗣 The results of the study are the worst example. Careless managers themselves facilitate the work of intruders. For example, the password "123456" was used by 29,401 CEOs. Just think about it!

1️⃣ 123456 - used 29401 times

2️⃣ password - used 22511 times

3️⃣ 12345 - used 11876 times

4️⃣ 123456789 - used 10988 times

5️⃣ qwerty - used 9738 times

So if you were wondering how movies break passwords by entering a date of birth or the name of a relative of a person and thought it was too simple and it doesn't happen, that was partly true.

How to Check if Your We**am Has Been Broken 💻

📹 As a rule, professional cybercriminals demand a ransom from the victims or sell their data on the Internet after recording a video. Therefore, now more than ever, it is essential to take active measures to check the device's security. We have prepared a list of signs of we**am hacking:

1️⃣ WE**AM LIGHT ON 🎦
📷 If it turns on when the camera is not in use, the device may have been broken. However, some hackers can hide their attacks by turning off this indicator.

2️⃣ SUSPICIOUS FILES ON THE COMPUTER 🎦
💥 Even if a hacker has a stolen video from the we**am, the files may still be saved on the computer. Therefore, pay attention to any suspicious files, especially in the folders with documents or videos on your hard drive.

3️⃣ THE APPEARANCE OF NEW APPLICATIONS ON THE DEVICE 🎦
📷 In such a case, run a threat scan and check if there is any suspicious activity on the device.

4️⃣ CHANGE SETTINGS 🎦
💥 As a rule, cyber threats interfere with the operation of the software or operating system. So make sure some security features are disabled.

📌 Also, scammers can claim that your we**am is broken and demand money in cryptocurrency. So that cybercriminals do not distribute videos of you. Attackers can use information obtained from a data breach, such as your email and password, to prove they have a video. If there is no evidence that the hackers' words are actual, ignore these extortion attempts.

🔐 To protect against we**am hacking, always install the latest software version on your computer, smartphone, or smart home gadgets. You can also use our services to prevent your we**am from being hacked by going to our website - https://safe-web.eu/
