A security incident at Cisco sheds light on how attacks of the future will unfold.

Here’s how it went down:

1. The hacker gained access to a Cisco employee’s personal Gmail account. That Gmail account had saved credentials for the Cisco VPN.

2. The VPN required MFA for authentication. To bypass this, the hacker used a combination of MFA push spamming (sending multiple MFA prompts to the user’s phone) and impersonating Cisco IT support and calling the user.

3. After connecting to the VPN, the hackers enrolled new devices for MFA. This removed the need to spam the user every time and allowed them to log into the network and begin moving laterally.

There isn’t a silver bullet in cyber security. As organizations roll out defenses like MFA, attackers will find a way to bypass. While this can be frustrating for organizations, it is the reality security professionals live in.

We can either get frustrated by the constant change or choose to adapt and stay alert. It helps to recognize that there is no finish line in cyber security – it is an endless game of survival.

WordPress powers 37% of all websites on the internet in 2021. That’s 10% more than in 2016 when they powered only 25% of websites. WordPress powers over 13 times the number of CMS websites compared to Joomla, the second most popular CMS host.

Undertaking a regular website security test of your WordPress website is critical to ensure any vulnerabilities or malware as fixed.

An example of this is hackers have reportedly scanned almost 1.6 million WordPressn websites in attempts to exploit an arbitrary file upload vulnerability in a previously disclosed buggy WordPress plugin.

The vulnerability targets Kaswara Modern WPBakery Page Builder Addons și, if exploited, it would allow criminals to upload malicious JavaScript files and even completely take over an organization’s website.
