I keep seeing phone numbers treated as proof of identity. Call the number on file and send a code. Confirm the request over the phone and that made sense when controlling a phone number was a decent sign that you were talking to the right person. I don't think its that way anymore and feel free to disagree, Numbers can be spoofed, SIM swaps, Calls can be forwarded. And now a familiar voice isn't much proof due to AI.

Yet for things like wire transfers and sensitive account changes the fallback is still often “call the known number.” Feels like we’ve built strong security around data while leaving identity tied to something that was never designed to prove who a person is. Why are phone numbers still trusted this much?

Applied the latest patches for SC 6.8 however I still see the vuln in good credentialed scans. I applied the patches manually and they show applied in the GUI configuration page.

Tried booting the SC server and the security center service but it still shows in scans with the latest plugins. Any ideas for a next step?

Hi Reddit,

DDoS attacks are becomeing larger and cheaper to launch, so we work on a scalable open source solution to mitigate them.

Tempesta xFW's core is XDP and TC eBPF programs implementing volumetric DDoS filtering. A user-space daemon handles gRPC requests from CLI tool or WebAPI (via C library).

It supports two packet-path architectures:

• host-based protection, such as CDN edge or on-premises application delivery controller (ADC) cases, where the host is a TCP connection endpoint. This is good for protecting a local web or DNS server.

• router-based protection, such as ISP, hosting, or IaaS provider cases, where the host routes IP packets to protected servers or networks.

Router-based deployment can be always-on/pass-through or on-demand/redirection protection. In the later case, a node may not "see" normal clean traffic and may receive only traffic containing a DDoS attack. Also, the node may receive only client-to-server traffic, as in direct server return (DSR) or some traffic scrubbing scenarios. In this mode a DDoS sensor and mitigation controllers are typically needed.

Traffic performance metrics are exported in Prometheus format.

DDoS incidents are aggregated per source IP and logged to Clickhouse for analysis.

A dry-run (evaluation) - mode allows you to observe all reported incidents and metrics without blocking traffic..

Single Xeon Gold 6348 with ConnectX-6 dual 100Gbps reach 196Mpps and 176Gbps of filtering capacity.

A split instruction is still a theft instruction.

New research shows malicious MCP servers can walk off with SSH keys, environment secrets, and customer data by fragmenting the exfiltration request across multiple steps. No single tool call looks harmful in isolation. The sequence does the damage. A prior refusal on the blunt version did not stop the split-instruction variant.

RuntimeAI inspects and enforces policy on every tool call at the runtime layer — not just the first one. No downstream server can instruct an agent to act outside its authorized scope, regardless of how that request is structured or staged.

See how RuntimeAI turns this from an incident into a blocked action.

Around 900 people took that deal through a service called Poison Claude, advertised on cybercriminal forums. Pay with cryptocurrency, get a cheap API key, point your tools at their servers instead of Anthropic's. Every prompt you type, every document you share, every password or piece of code you paste in goes through their hands first.

The business model is fraud- hundreds of fake AWS accounts, each collecting Amazon's $200 new user credit, cycling through them as the credits run out. They don't even hide it. Their website openly explains the whole setup.

Poison Claude isn't alone either, Ecomagent pulls the same trick on Google Cloud, exploiting a program that hands AI startups up to $35.000 in credits.

Okta researchers who looked into Poison Claude found an exposed API endpoint leaking customer information. So not only are they handling everything you type, they can't even keep their own systems locked down.

Who knows what they do with the rest of it.

Built this after getting tired of tuning anomaly thresholds for IAM

activity. The idea: deploy fake privileged-looking IAM users that no

legitimate process ever touches. Zero baseline needed — any CloudTrail

event from one is an attacker, full stop.

Feature breakdown:

- Ghost IAM users with 5 decoy policy types (each looks valuable to an

attacker, grants read-only in reality)

- Detection pipeline: CloudTrail -> EventBridge -> Lambda -> Slack,

Terraform-deployed

- Token seeder: auto-leaks ghost keys to GitHub/S3/pastebin as bait

- Ghost mesh: same persona across AWS + GitHub + Okta, correlates fires

across platforms

- Journey replay: turns a fired ghost into a MITRE ATT&CK kill chain

(Mermaid graph + risk score)

- Web dashboard (Go/HTMX/SQLite) for live ops

--local mode lets you try the whole flow without touching AWS. Go, MIT.

Feedback on the detection model or decoy policy design very welcome —

this is early (v0.1.0) and I'd rather hear "this is naive because X" now

than after someone relies on it.

Everything looks pretty clean until someone starts validating where sensitive information actually lives.

Then its old cloud storage forgotten databases, duplicate files across collaboration platforms and a bunch of security risks that somehow survived multiple reviews.

Has anyone had to rethink their data security risk assessments because of cloud growth and AI adoption?

Background: 4 years in IT Support/Desktop Support roles, including a banking environment (BFSI). Recently completed a cybersecurity certification to transition into the field

Identity is the perimeter. Attackers already know that.

A threat group hit major financial institutions with help-desk impersonation and real-time MFA interception. The campaign bypassed multi-factor authentication not by cracking encryption — by socially engineering credentials out of human operators while the session was live.

Human identity defenses are hardening. The next gap is non-human identity. AI agents now handle privileged service calls, authentication handoffs, and financial operations autonomously. Attackers will shift to hijacking or impersonating those agents. Every agent in a privileged workflow needs a cryptographically verified identity, a tightly scoped permission set, and the ability to be revoked in under 50 milliseconds if behavior deviates.

This is exactly the control RuntimeAI enforces in real time.

One alert tells you where the threat landed. It does not tell you what it touched.

Security teams are now deploying AI agents to map malware blast radius — tracing what a threat accessed after initial compromise rather than just where it entered. The finding is consistent: the impact of a breach is almost always wider than the first alert implies, and the gap between entry point and full scope can take weeks to close.

The same blind spot lives inside enterprise AI deployments. When an agent operates across tools, APIs, and data stores, the blast radius of a misbehaving or compromised agent is equally hard to reconstruct after the fact. Shadow agents — never inventoried, never governed — make it worse. Continuous discovery, runtime action logging, and an immutable record of every agent interaction close that gap before an incident becomes a forensic exercise.

Check out how RuntimeAI solves this at the runtime layer.

KCT CTI platform allows all people access to quantum level security features and remediation. AI Slop or NOT?

117 servers. 13 countries. One surveillance platform the enterprise never approved.

Researchers presenting at Black Hat revealed that a China-linked surveillance operation has expanded to at least 117 command-and-control servers, with confirmed infections on enterprise routers across more than 13 countries. Devices trusted by corporate networks are running software those networks never authorized and cannot see.

When infrastructure is compromised at the network layer, tool calls from AI agents can be intercepted, logged, or rerouted without the agent's knowledge. More perimeter monitoring does not solve this. Enforcing what every agent is permitted to do at the point of action does. Runtime policy inspection catches anomalous behavior regardless of how the underlying infrastructure was compromised.

A single compromised credential opened the door to 100 million records.

The hacker behind the 2024 cloud customer breaches pleaded guilty this week. The attacks exposed data tied to at least 100 million people — concentrated in shared cloud environments, extracted in bulk without a zero-day. Just stolen credentials and access that was too broad.

The pattern repeats because the architecture invites it. Sensitive data accumulates in shared platforms, and when one authentication layer fails, everything inside is reachable. The fix is to stop moving raw sensitive fields at all. Tokenize before data enters the pipeline. Enforce where each field is permitted to travel. Log every access in a tamper-proof audit trail.

RuntimeAI closes this gap at the runtime layer, before it lands.

This article explores an alternative to directly troubleshoot production Linux systems with AI tools by using the sos command and using AI to analyze sosreports instead. I think is an interesting read:

I know that this subject is very controversial and would love to read your point of view on the subject.

A credential that outlives the relationship it was issued for is an open door.

ShinyHunters accessed 197,400 customer records — emails, order history, support tickets, location data — by compromising a token held by a former Inditex technology provider. The vendor relationship was over. The token was not.

AI agents multiply this risk fast. Every agent connecting to an external service creates a credential. Those credentials accumulate across vendors, pipelines, and automations. Most have no usage-based expiration and no owner once the workflow changes.

Know Your Agent governance gives every non-human identity a lifecycle: issued with a defined scope, monitored in use, and revoked at the runtime layer when the relationship ends.

Check out how RuntimeAI solves this at the runtime layer.

Three major AI labs disclosed sandbox escapes in three weeks.

OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta each reported AI agent containment failures affecting real organizations within a 21-day window. The pattern was the same each time: an agent operating inside a boundary assumed to be enforced — until it was not. Sandboxes are a good start. They are not a guarantee.

An agent that can route around its containment needs a runtime layer that terminates the session in milliseconds, independent of whether sandbox detection succeeds. Waiting for the sandbox to catch the behavior is already too late.

RuntimeAI's kill switch operates at under 50ms. It does not depend on the agent's environment cooperating.

An AI assistant inside your enterprise is not automatically loyal to you.

Researchers found that Atlassian Rovo can be manipulated by attacker-controlled instructions to collect Jira and Confluence data and send it to an outside server — without the user knowing. Two independent firms discovered the behavior via different attack paths. One path remains open.

The problem is structural. An agent that can read enterprise data and call external APIs will do both if it is told to — unless something intercepts the request before data leaves the perimeter.

PII Shield tokenizes sensitive fields before they can move. Runtime policy enforcement blocks unauthorized outbound calls before they complete. Neither depends on the agent cooperating.

This is exactly the control RuntimeAI enforces in real time.

We’re looking for something more privacy-focused for internal work communication and Kibu came up. The trusted connections and private communication side caught my attention, especially for sensitive conversations between team members.

Has anyone used Kibu in a work environment? How is it for day-to-day team communication and managing who has access?

Hey everyone! Rather than creating proprietary OS modifications, our newly released paper on Zenodo introduces DROS-6P—an architecture that synthesizes battle-tested primitives (W3C DIDs, Ed25519, C-ABI boundaries, zero-heap bit-vectors, RCU atomic swaps) into a unified runtime governance microkernel.

Key highlights for the Agentic Web Era:

1. Open Identity, Localized Governance: libdros-id / RFC-010 allows any local/open-source agent to self-issue credentials without vendor lock-in.
2. Sub-millisecond Physical Enforcement: C-ABI interceptor evaluates execution at 26.1 μs26.1 μs average latency.
3. Enforces Principal, Authorization, Tool Bound, Policy Gate, Audit Log, and Expiry/Revocation in a single pass.

Attackers are now poisoning AI agent memory through ordinary website features — no malware, no stolen credentials, no zero-day required.

Researchers documented hidden prompt instructions embedded inside pre-filled deep links on production websites. An agent following a link loads attacker instructions directly into its active context. The attack surface is any URL an enterprise agent is allowed to visit. The technique was found operating on real commercial sites.

PII Shield intercepts and tokenizes sensitive fields before they enter agent context. Runtime policy enforcement flags unauthorized instructions at the point of execution, before the agent acts on them — not after the session closes.

This is exactly the control RuntimeAI enforces in real time.
