How to uncover hardcoded passwords in code with Finite State

So true — these “shortcuts” might save time in development, but they can create long-term risk once products ship. This is exactly why binary analysis and finding hardcoded credentials early is such a game-changer. Great insights from Robert and our Finite State team. 👏

🔎 The USB attack vector isn’t going away. Relying on endpoint security alone is no longer viable. Why does it still work? The answer has less to do with technical vulnerabilities and more to do with human behavior. 📌 This #CyberTuesday, we take a look at how removable media’s prevalence as an attack vector actually lies in the human factor:  https://lnkd.in/ds8mN7XW #Cybersecurity #ZeroUSB #RemovableMedia #CyberAttack #SocialEngineering #FileTransfer #ZeroTrust #ZeroTrustArchitecture #DataFlowX

⚠️ CVE-2025-30519: CRITICAL Dover Fueling Solutions ProGauge MagLink LX4 Devices have default root credentials that cannot be changed through standard administrative means. An attacker with network access to the device can gain administrative access to the system.

The new threat actor isn’t dropping malware. They’re borrowing logins. Reusing tokens. Working 9 to 5. No exploit. No signature. Just a subtle shift in behaviour. Legacy endpoint tools miss it — because they weren’t built to see intent, only impact. And by the time they trigger, the damage is already running quietly in the background. It’s not about seeing more. It’s about knowing when normal stops being normal. #Tokenisation #EndpointSecurity #LoginSecurity #MFA #Cybersecurity #EnhaloCyber

Windows event logs hold the truth if you know where to look. Here’s a snippet from one of our red team simulations: At first glance, everything appears legitimate. But one of these entries indicates malicious lateral movement. Your challenge: Which one is the red flag? Tomorrow, Silent Breach will reveal: • The hidden compromise • Why it bypassed SOC detection • What controls would have identified it earlier Share your analysis in the comments. Would your SOC have spotted this in time? #CyberSecurity #ThreatHunting #BlueTeam #DFIR #WindowsLogs #SilentBreach

For 25 years, AAA Technologies has worked to uncover cybersecurity myths that put people at risk. One of the most common? Believing public Wi-Fi with a password is safe. The truth: only proactive protection like VPNs can keep you secure. Stay informed.

SquareX researchers disclosed the Passkey Pwned attack on the mainstage at DEF CON 33 earlier this August. This attack exploits malicious browser extensions to intercept authentication flows, generating attacker-controlled keys while users see legitimate biometric prompts. Organizations need comprehensive browser extension audits that go beyond point-of-installation checks. Dynamic analysis of real-time extension behavior is critical because benign extensions can turn malicious through attacker compromise or purchase after gaining user trust.

🚫 The era of forced password rotation is over. For years, changing passwords every 60–90 days was thought to protect users. In reality, it only created weak, predictable patterns and more frustration. 🔐 Today, real security means: ✅ Strong passphrases ✅ MFA by default ✅ Blocking breached passwords ✅ Embracing passwordless options It’s time to leave behind myths and build smarter, stronger security for 2025 and beyond. #CyberSecurity #PasswordSecurity #Passwordless #MFA #InfoSec

You’ve probably heard of Cold Boot attacks [1], but have you ever seen a practical example? If not, I recommend reading this report https://lnkd.in/dzhQeyCb (point 002, page 15). There is even more: for example, as a bonus, in point 001 there’s an interesting analysis concerning the incorrect configuration of PCR banks of the disk encryption process using LUKS.
