The Hacker News - How to Build a Lean Security Model: 5 Lessons from River Island

In today’s security landscape, budgets are tight, attack surfaces are sprawling, and new threats emerge daily. Maintaining a strong security posture under these circumstances without a large team or budget can be a real challenge. Yet lean security models are not only possible - they can be highly effective. River Island, one of the UK’s leading fashion retailers, offers a powerful from The Hacker News https://thehackernews.com/2025/06/how-to-build-lean-security-model-5.html

Rapid 7 - BlackSuit Continues Social Engineering Attacks in Wake of Black Basta’s Internal Conflict

Image
Executive Summary There has been a significant decrease in social engineering attacks linked to the Black Basta ransomware group since late December 2024. This lapse also included the leaked Black Basta chat logs in February 2025 , indicating internal conflict within the group. Despite this, Rapid7 has observed sustained social engineering attacks. Evidence now suggests that BlackSuit affiliates have either adopted Black Basta’s strategy or absorbed members of the group. The developer(s) of a previously identified Java malware family, distributed during social engineering attacks, have now been assessed as likely initial access brokers, having potentially provided historical access for Black Basta and/or FIN7 affiliates. Figure 1. Confirmed malicious chat requests, Feb 12 through May 7, as observed by Rapid7. Overview The first stage of the attack remains the same. The operator will flood targeted users with a high volume of emails, to the order of thousands per hour. This is of...

Rapid 7 - Key Takeaways from the Take Command Summit 2025: Demystifying Cloud Detection & Response – The Future of SOC and MDR

Image
Cloud adoption has fundamentally reshaped security operations, bringing flexibility and scalability, but also complexity. In this session from the Take Command 2025 Virtual Cybersecurity Summit , Rapid7’s product leaders discussed how today’s SOC and MDR capabilities must evolve to keep up. Hosted by Ellis Fincham, the panel featured Dan Martin and Tyler Terenzoni, who shared real-world insights on what cloud detection and response truly requires, what CNAPP can and can’t solve, and how to bridge the growing gap between alerts and actionable context. The cloud has changed the rules Traditional SOC tooling often struggles to keep up with cloud-native architectures. Dan Martin opened the discussion by highlighting a key shift: “Detection doesn’t start at the endpoint anymore. It starts with understanding your architecture.” The panel emphasized that while cloud offers flexibility and scale, it also introduces operational complexity. From short-lived containers to decentralized owne...

The Hacker News - The Hidden Threat in Your Stack: Why Non-Human Identity Management is the Next Cybersecurity Frontier

Modern enterprise networks are highly complex environments that rely on hundreds of apps and infrastructure services. These systems need to interact securely and efficiently without constant human oversight, which is where non-human identities (NHIs) come in. NHIs — including application secrets, API keys, service accounts, and OAuth tokens — have exploded in recent years, thanks to an from The Hacker News https://thehackernews.com/2025/06/the-hidden-threat-in-your-stack-why-non.html
