- New Win-DDoS Flaws Let Attackers Turn Public Domain Controllers into DDoS Botnet via RPC, LDAPby info@thehackernews.com (The Hacker News) on 10/08/2025 at 19:30
A novel attack technique could be weaponized to rope thousands of public domain controllers (DCs) around the world to create a malicious botnet and use it to conduct power distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. The approach has been codenamed Win-DDoS by SafeBreach researchers Or Yair and Shahak Morag, who presented their findings at the DEF CON 33 security conference today. "As we
- Researchers Detail Windows EPM Poisoning Exploit Chain Leading to Domain Privilege Escalationby info@thehackernews.com (The Hacker News) on 10/08/2025 at 12:31
Cybersecurity researchers have presented new findings related to a now-patched security issue in Microsoft's Windows Remote Procedure Call (RPC) communication protocol that could be abused by an attacker to conduct spoofing attacks and impersonate a known server. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-49760 (CVSS score: 3.5), has been described by the tech giant as a Windows Storage spoofing bug
- Linux-Based Lenovo Webcams’ Flaw Can Be Remotely Exploited for BadUSB Attacksby info@thehackernews.com (The Hacker News) on 09/08/2025 at 19:00
Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed vulnerabilities in select model webcams from Lenovo that could turn them into BadUSB attack devices. "This allows remote attackers to inject keystrokes covertly and launch attacks independent of the host operating system," Eclypsium researchers Paul Asadoorian, Mickey Shkatov, and Jesse Michael said in a report shared with The Hacker News. The
- Researchers Reveal ReVault Attack Targeting Dell ControlVault3 Firmware in 100+ Laptop Modelsby info@thehackernews.com (The Hacker News) on 09/08/2025 at 18:55
Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered multiple security flaws in Dell's ControlVault3 firmware and its associated Windows APIs that could have been abused by attackers to bypass Windows login, extract cryptographic keys, as well as maintain access even after a fresh operating system install by deploying undetectable malicious implants into the firmware. The vulnerabilities have been codenamed
- Researchers Uncover GPT-5 Jailbreak and Zero-Click AI Agent Attacks Exposing Cloud and IoT Systemsby info@thehackernews.com (The Hacker News) on 09/08/2025 at 15:06
Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a jailbreak technique to bypass ethical guardrails erected by OpenAI in its latest large language model (LLM) GPT-5 and produce illicit instructions. Generative artificial intelligence (AI) security platform NeuralTrust said it combined a known technique called Echo Chamber with narrative-driven steering to trick the model into producing undesirable
