arch Tenable Research Uncovers Thousands of Vulnerable Cyber Assets Amongst Southeast Asia’s Financial Sector By www.tenable.com Published On :: Thu, 29 Aug 2024 09:09:05 -0400 New research conducted by Tenable®, Inc., the exposure management company, has uncovered more than 26,500 potential internet-facing assets among Southeast Asia’s top banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI) companies by market capitalisation across Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.On July 15, 2024, Tenable examined the external attack surface of over 90 BFSI organisations with the largest market capitalisations across the region. The findings revealed that the average organisation possesses nearly 300 internet-facing assets susceptible to potential exploitation, resulting in a total of more than 26,500 assets across the study group.Singapore ranked the highest among the six countries assessed, with over 11,000 internet-facing assets identified across its top 16 BFSI companies. Over 6,000 of those assets are hosted in the United States. Next on the list is Thailand with over 5000 assets. The distribution of internet-accessible assets underscores the need for cybersecurity strategies that adapt to the rapidly evolving digital landscape.CountryNumber of internet-facing assets amongst top 90 BFSI companies by market capitalisationSingapore11,000Thailand5,000Indonesia4,600Malaysia4,200Vietnam3,600Philippines2,600“The results of our study reveal that many financial institutions are struggling to close the priority security gaps that put them at risk. Effective exposure management is key to closing these gaps,” said Nigel Ng, Senior Vice President, Tenable APJ. “By identifying and securing vulnerable assets before they can be exploited, organisations can better protect themselves against the growing tide of cyberattacks.” Cyber Hygiene Gaps The Tenable study revealed many potential vulnerabilities and exposed several cyber hygiene issues among the study group, including outdated software, weak encryption, and misconfigurations. These vulnerabilities provide cybercriminals with easily exploitable potential entry points, posing potential risk to the integrity and security of financial data. Weak SSL/TLS encryption A notable finding is that among the total assets, organisations had nearly 2,500 still supporting TLS 1.0—a 25-year old security protocol introduced in 1999 and disabled by Microsoft in September 2022. This highlights the significant challenge organisations with extensive internet footprints face in identifying and updating outdated technologies.Misconfiguration increases external exposureAnother concerning discovery was that over 4,000 assets, originally intended for internal use, were inadvertently exposed and are now accessible externally. Failing to secure these internal assets poses a significant risk to organisations, as it creates an opportunity for malicious actors to target sensitive information and critical systems.Lack of encryption There were over 900 assets with unencrypted final URLs, which can present a security weakness. When URLs are unencrypted, the data transmitted between the user's browser and the server is not protected by encryption, making it vulnerable to interception, eavesdropping, and manipulation by malicious actors. This lack of encryption can lead to the exposure of sensitive information, such as login credentials, personal data, or payment details, and can compromise the integrity of the communication.API vulnerabilities amplify riskThe identification of over 2,000 API v3 out of the total number of assets among organisations' digital infrastructure poses a substantial risk to their security and operational integrity.APIs serve as crucial connectors between software applications, facilitating seamless data exchange. However, inadequate authentication, insufficient input validation, weak access controls, and vulnerabilities in dependencies within API v3 implementations create a vulnerable attack surface.Malicious actors can exploit such weaknesses to gain unauthorised access, compromise data integrity, and launch devastating cyber attacks.“The cybersecurity landscape is evolving faster than ever, and financial institutions must evolve with it, so they can know where they are exposed and take action to close critical risk” Ng added. “By prioritising exposure management, these organisations can better protect their digital assets, safeguard customer trust, and ensure the resilience of their operations in an increasingly hostile digital environment.”About TenableTenable® is the exposure management company, exposing and closing the cybersecurity gaps that erode business value, reputation and trust.

When NetScaler ADC or NetScaler Gateway is configured as a gateway (VPN virtual server, ICA Proxy, CVPN, RDP Proxy) or as an AAA virtual server, an unauthenticated attacker could exploit the device in order to hijack an existing authenticated session. Depending on the permissions of the account they have hijacked, this could allow the attacker to gain additional access within a target environment and collect other account credentials. Successful exploitation allows the attacker to bypass multi factor authentication (MFA) requirements.Research Advisories - curl Heap Overflow and Cookie Injection: On October 3, an open-source developer and maintainer of curl, took to X (formerly Twitter) to announce that a new high severity CVE would be fixed in curl 8.4.0. The developer noted that the release would be ahead of schedule and released on October 11, indicating in a reply to the twitter thread that this is 'the worst security problem found in curl in a long time.' Research Advisories - MOVEit: The CL0P Ransomware Group, also known as TA505, has exploited zero-day vulnerabilities across a series of file transfer solutions since December 2020. File transfer solutions often contain sensitive information from a variety of organizations. This stolen information is used to extort victims to pay ransom demands. In 2023, CL0P claimed credit for the exploitation of vulnerabilities in both Fortra’s GoAnywhere Managed File Transfer (MFT) and Progress Software’s MOVEit Transfer solutions.

This advisory was released in response to public reports about a proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit for CVE-2021-1675, a similar vulnerability in the Windows Print Spooler. To help clear up confusion about the vulnerability, Microsoft updated its advisory for CVE-2021-1675 to clarify that it is similar but distinct from CVE-2021-34527. On July 6, Microsoft updated its advisory to announce the availability of out-of-band patches for CVE-2021-34527, a critical vulnerability in its Windows Print Spooler that researchers are calling PrintNightmare. This remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability affects all versions of Microsoft Windows. Research Advisories - MS Exchange ProxyLogon: On March 2, 2021 Microsoft released several critical security updates for zero-day Microsoft Exchange Server vulnerabilities, and reported that the exploits are actively being exploited by threat actors.

arch Did two honesty researchers fabricate their data? By www.npr.org Published On :: Fri, 28 Jul 2023 08:15:52 +0000 Dan Ariely and Francesca Gino are two of the biggest stars in behavioral science. Both have conducted blockbuster research into how to make people more honest, research we've highlighted on Planet Money. The two worked together on a paper about how to "nudge" people to be more honest on things like forms or tax returns. Their trick: move the location where people attest that they have filled in a form honestly from the bottom of the form to the top.But recently, questions have arisen about whether the data Ariely and Gino relied on in their famous paper about honesty were fabricated — whether their research into honesty was itself built on lies. The blog Data Colada went looking for clues in the cells of the studies' Excel spreadsheets, the shapes of their data distributions, and even the fonts that were used.The Hartford, an insurance company that collaborated with Ariely on one implicated study, told NPR this week in a statement that it could confirm that the data it had provided for that study had been altered had been altered after they gave it to Ariely, but prior to the research's publication: "It is clear the data was manipulated inappropriately and supplemented by synthesized or fabricated data." Ariely denies that he was responsible for the falsified data. "Getting the data file was the extent of my involvement with the data," he told NPR.Help support Planet Money and get bonus episodes by subscribing to Planet Money+ in Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org/planetmoney.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy Full Article
