Cyber Attacks
In this blog, we’re going to explore two major web application vulnerabilities: Broken Authentication and Cryptographic Failures . BA occurs when authentication mechanisms, like login systems or session management, fail to properly secure user identities, leaving accounts vulnerable to attacks like session hijacking or credential stuffing. On the other hand, CF refers to weaknesses in how sensitive data is protected through encryption. When encryption is weak or improperly implemented, it exposes critical information to attackers. Both vulnerabilities pose significant threats to the security of web applications, and we'll dive into how they can be exploited and prevented.
Picture this: you’re hosting the ultimate cybersecurity party, complete with firewalls and antivirus software as your VIP guests. Everything’s running smoothly until—bam!—a zero-day exploit crashes the party without an invite. It sneaks past all your security bouncers, starts mingling with your data, and causes mayhem like it’s the life of the party. Now your flawless event is a digital disaster zone, all thanks to one sneaky, uninvited guest!
