The RIPE NCC expects to make about 300 /24 allocations in the next six months. About 1,000 members are waiting for allocations and the member at the top of the queue has been waiting over a year.
Google ad or search engine optimization (SEO) poisoning has long been a favored threat actor tactic to spread malware. A recent Secureworks study of Bumblebee, which comes in the guise of a software installer, proved that once again.
IPv4.Global, a division of Hilco Streambank, the largest, most trusted and transparent IPv4 marketplace in the world, today announced the release of ReView, a new, first-of-its-kind digital IP address audit tool at RIPE 86. ReView was developed in collaboration with 6connect, the authors of revolutionary provisioning and IP address management software.
The more dangerous browsing the Internet becomes, the more tools to address cyber threats emerge in the market. Virtual private network (VPN) service usage, for instance, gained ubiquity due to the ever-increasing number of data privacy intrusions.
We've proven time and again that the effects of current events always extend to the DNS. Just last month, two big banks - the Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) and Credit Suisse - collapsed. Financial experts said more banks may be bound to follow.
Threat actors continue to abuse the DNS by weaponizing domain names. On 13 April 2023, through our recently launched Threat Intelligence Data Feeds (TIDF), we identified more than 1 million suspicious and malicious domains that figured in phishing, malware distribution, spam, and other cyber attacks, such as brute-force and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks.
Threats tend to become more advanced over time. So is the case of business email compromise (BEC) scams, which according to a SlashNext post, cost companies billions of U.S. dollars in losses per year.
Global businesses rely on the internet for everything -- websites, email, authentication, voice over IP (VoIP), and more. It's part of an organization's external attack surface and needs to be continuously monitored for cybercrime attacks and fraud.
Infoblox, in its Q4 2022 Cyber Threat Report, featured a "Meta" coin scam using fake celebrity endorsements targeting users in the European Union (EU). The analysis revealed several indicators of compromise (IoCs), specifically four domains and one IP address, that could help the public avoid the perils the scams posed.
