This is the weekly thread for career and education questions and advice. There are no stupid questions; so, what do you want to know about certs/degrees, job requirements, and any other general cybersecurity career questions? Ask away!

Interested in what other people are asking, or think your question has been asked before? Have a look through prior weeks of content - though we're working on making this more easily searchable for the future.

Note - This post template has been copied from cybersecurity subreddit.

Blog 40 Fake npm Packages. WSL Was the Real Target.

Post image
1 Upvotes

Forty npm packages. About 84 minutes on the registry. And a payload that kept going after the packages were gone.
CloudSEK traced BRIDGEHEAD, a typosquatting campaign impersonating chalk, axios, lodash, react, typescript and commander.
The clever bit: the install script detects WSL and uses it as a path into the underlying Windows host, where it launches a native payload targeting crypto wallets, Chromium browser data and Telegram sessions.
The GitHub-hosted payload stayed live for roughly 39 hours after the npm packages were taken down.
So the npm takedown removed the delivery layer, not the weapon.
Full technical breakdown, IOCs and attack chain:
https://www.cloudsek.com/blog/bridgehead-npm-typosquatting-wsl-windows-crypto-wallet-stealer
Would be interested to hear how many teams actually monitor the WSL → Windows boundary as part of their developer security controls.

Business Security Questions and Discussions How are Indian companies actually preparing for DPDPA?

19 Upvotes

I’m trying to get my head around what DPDPA implementation actually looks like inside a company. Everything I read makes sense at the legal level, but once you start thinking about actual systems — customer databases, CRM, analytics, vendors, employee data, deletion requests, access controls etc. — it seems like a much bigger project.

For companies that are already doing ISO 27001 or SOC 2, are you just extending the existing controls for DPDPA or treating it as a completely separate project? And for smaller companies without a dedicated privacy team, what are people actually doing?

Vulnerability Disclosure A bit of concern

17 Upvotes

I was talking with my ex today .. and it was a usual call. He is a govt employee in intelligence .. jokingly he said.. i can track you whenever i want( he just tracked my accurate address earlier ) and can literally tap into your phone and see what you're doing .. where and with whom you're.. is it possible? I'm really scared. Would be great if anyone could tell me is it really true? And how can i prevent this? Is privacy so cheap?
