Cyber Crime
In August 2024, Star Health and Allied Insurance, India's largest health insurer, fell victim to a sophisticated cyberattack resulting in the leak of sensitive customer data and medical records. The attacker, known as xenZen, demanded a ransom of $68,000 in exchange for ceasing further leaks of confidential information. The breach has caused a massive reputational and financial crisis for the company, with its market value declining and legal battles ensuing. This blog provides a comprehensive look at the timeline, technical details, and the overall impact of this significant cyberattack.
A New Era in Robotics Tesla, a pioneer in the field of electric vehicles and clean energy, is now venturing into uncharted territory with its latest innovation—the Tesla Optimus robot. Unveiled during the highly anticipated "We, Robot" event, the Optimus robot aims to revolutionize how humans interact with technology by tackling mundane and dangerous tasks. CEO Elon Musk has called Optimus "the biggest product ever" and believes it will transform daily life, making human-like robots commonplace in households and workplaces.
In today’s highly connected world, web applications are ubiquitous and serve as the backbone of many organizations’ online presence. Unfortunately, they are also prime targets for cyberattacks. To protect sensitive data and maintain the integrity of web-based services, Web Application Penetration Testing (Pentesting) has become an indispensable part of any robust cybersecurity strategy. This detailed guide will walk you through everything you need to know about web application penetration testing, from why it's essential to how the process works, common tools used, and what you should consider to make the most of your pentesting efforts.
With attacks targeting critical infrastructure, supply chains, and even the democratic processes, governments worldwide are under pressure to reinforce their cybersecurity defenses. The United States has been at the forefront of this effort and its National Cybersecurity Strategy—refined over the years and updated in 2024 continues to serve as a key blueprint for national defense against cyber threats. This blog explores how the U.S. is addressing modern cybersecurity challenges and offers insights that developing countries can adopt to bolster their own defenses.
The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) is one of the oldest standard protocols used for file transfer between a client and a server over a computer network. Despite its wide adoption, it is a plain-text protocol, meaning the data sent over it isn't encrypted, making it a common target for attackers. FTP operates on port 21 by default and supports two types of connections: Active and Passive. In this blog, we’ll explore the common security challenges and pentesting techniques related to FTP.
Neuromorphic computing is an emerging technology designed to mimic the human brain's processing capabilities, addressing the limitations of traditional computer hardware in handling complex AI tasks.
