We hit a milestone today as this is our 50th Podcast Episode! A Big thank you to You, our listeners for your continued support!* Kali Linux Users Face Update Issues After Repository Signing Key Loss* CISOs Advised to Secure Personal Protections Against Scapegoating and Whistleblowing Risks* WhatsApp Launches Advanced Chat Privacy to Safeguard Sensitive Conversations* Samsung Confirms Security Vulnerability in Galaxy Devices That Could Expose Passwords* Former Disney Menu Manager Sentenced to 3 Years for Malicious System AttacksKali Linux Users Face Update Issues After Repository Signing Key Losshttps://www.kali.org/blog/new-kali-archive-signing-key/Offensive Security has announced that Kali Linux users will need to manually install a new repository signing key following the loss of the previous key. Without this update, users will experience system update failures.The company recently lost access to the old repository signing key (ED444FF07D8D0BF6) and had to create a new one (ED65462EC8D5E4C5), which has been signed by Kali Linux developers using signatures on the Ubuntu OpenPGP key server. OffSec emphasized that the key wasn't compromised, so the old one remains in the keyring.Users attempting to update their systems with the old key will encounter error messages stating "Missing key 827C8569F2518CC677FECA1AED65462EC8D5E4C5, which is needed to verify signature."To address this issue, the Kali Linux repository was frozen on February 18th. "In the coming day(s), pretty much every Kali system out there will fail to update," OffSec warned. "This is not only you, this is for everyone, and this is entirely our fault."To avoid update failures, users are advised to manually download and install the new repository signing key by running the command: sudo wget https://archive.kali.org/archive-keyring.gpg -O /usr/share/keyrings/kali-archive-keyring.gpgFor users unwilling to manually update the keyring, OffSec recommends reinstalling Kali using images that include the updated keyring.This isn't the first time Kali Linux users have faced such issues. A similar incident occurred in February 2018 when developers allowed the GPG key to expire, also requiring manual updates from users.CISOs Advised to Secure Personal Protections Against Scapegoating and Whistleblowing Riskshttps://path.rsaconference.com/flow/rsac/us25/FullAgenda/page/catalog/session/1727392520218001o5wvhttps://www.theregister.com/2025/04/28/ciso_rsa_whistleblowing/Chief Information Security Officers should negotiate personal liability insurance and golden parachute agreements when starting new roles to protect themselves in case of organizational conflicts, according to a panel of security experts at the RSA Conference.During a session on CISO whistleblowing, experienced security leaders shared cautionary tales and strategic advice for navigating the increasingly precarious position that has earned the role the nickname "chief scapegoat officer" in some organizations.Dd Budiharto, former CISO at Marathon Oil and Philips 66, revealed she was once fired for refusing to approve fraudulent invoices for work that wasn't delivered. "I'm proud to say I've been fired for not being willing to compromise my integrity," she stated. Despite losing her position, Budiharto chose not to pursue legal action against her former employer, a decision the panel unanimously supported as wise to avoid industry blacklisting.Andrew Wilder, CISO of veterinarian network Vetcor, emphasized that security executives should insist on two critical insurance policies before accepting new positions: directors and officers insurance (D&O) and personal legal liability insurance (PLLI). "You want to have personal legal liability insurance that covers you, not while you are an officer of an organization, but after you leave the organization as well," Wilder advised.Wilder referenced the case of former Uber CISO Joe Sullivan, noting that Sullivan's Uber-provided PLLI covered PR costs during his legal proceedings following a data breach cover-up. He also stressed the importance of negotiating severance packages to ensure whistleblowing decisions can be made on ethical rather than financial grounds.The panelists agreed that thorough documentation is essential for CISOs. Herman Brown, CIO for San Francisco's District Attorney's Office, recommended documenting all conversations and decisions. "Email is a great form of documentation that doesn't just stand for 'electronic mail,' it also stands for 'evidential mail,'" he noted.Security leaders were warned to be particularly careful about going to the press with complaints, which the panel suggested could result in even worse professional consequences than legal action. Similarly, Budiharto cautioned against trusting internal human resources departments or ethics panels, reminding attendees that HR ultimately works to protect the company, not individual employees.The panel underscored that proper governance, documentation, and clear communication with leadership about shared security responsibilities are essential practices for CISOs navigating the complex political and ethical challenges of their role.WhatsApp Launches Advanced Chat Privacy to Safeguard Sensitive Conversationshttps://blog.whatsapp.com/introducing-advanced-chat-privacyWhatsApp has rolled out a new "Advanced Chat Privacy" feature designed to provide users with enhanced protection for sensitive information shared in both private and group conversations.The new privacy option, accessible by tapping on a chat name, aims to prevent the unauthorized extraction of media and conversation content. "Today we're introducing our latest layer for privacy called 'Advanced Chat Privacy.' This new setting available in both chats and groups helps prevent others from taking content outside of WhatsApp for when you may want extra privacy," WhatsApp announced in its release.When enabled, the feature blocks other users from exporting chat histories, automatically downloading media to their devices, and using messages for AI features. According to WhatsApp, this ensures "everyone in the chat has greater confidence that no one can take what is being said outside the chat."The company noted that this initial version is now available to all users who have updated to the latest version of the app, with plans to strengthen the feature with additional protections in the future. However, WhatsApp acknowledges that certain vulnerabilities remain, such as the possibility of someone photographing a conversation screen even when screenshots are blocked.This latest privacy enhancement continues WhatsApp's long-standing commitment to user security, which began nearly seven years ago with the introduction of end-to-end encryption. The platform has steadily expanded its privacy capabilities since then, implementing end-to-end encrypted chat backups for iOS and Android in October 2021, followed by default disappearing messages for new chats in December of the same year.More recent security updates include chat locking with password or fingerprint protection, a Secret Code feature to hide locked chats, and location hiding during calls by routing connections through WhatsApp's servers. Since October 2024, the platform has also encrypted contact databases for privacy-preserving synchronization.Meta reported in early 2020 that WhatsApp serves more than two billion users across over 180 countries, making these privacy enhancements significant for a substantial portion of the global messaging community.Samsung Confirms Security Vulnerability in Galaxy Devices That Could Expose Passwordshttps://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Suggestions/Implement-Auto-Delete-Clipboard-History-to-Prevent-Sensitive/m-p/3200743Samsung has acknowledged a significant security flaw in its Galaxy devices that potentially exposes user passwords and other sensitive information stored in the clipboard.The issue was brought to light by a user identified as "OicitrapDraz" who posted concerns on Samsung's community forum on April 14. "I copy passwords from my password manager all the time," the user wrote. "How is it that Samsung's clipboard saves everything in plain text with no expiration? That's a huge security issue."In response, Samsung confirmed the vulnerability, stating: "We understand your concerns regarding clipboard behavior and how it may affect sensitive content. Clipboard history in One UI is managed at the system level." The company added that the user's "suggestion for more control over clipboard data—such as auto-clear or exclusion options—has been noted and shared with the appropriate team for consideration."One UI is Samsung's customized version of Android that runs on Galaxy smartphones and tablets. The security flaw means that sensitive information copied to the clipboard remains accessible in plain text without any automatic expiration or encryption.As a temporary solution, Samsung recommended that users "manually clear clipboard history when needed and use secure input methods for sensitive information." This stopgap measure puts the burden of security on users rather than providing a system-level fix.Security experts are particularly concerned now that this vulnerability has been publicly acknowledged, as it creates a potential "clipboard wormhole" that attackers could exploit to access passwords and other confidential information on affected devices. Users of Samsung Galaxy devices are advised to exercise extreme caution when copying sensitive information until a more comprehensive solution is implemented.Former Disney Menu Manager Sentenced to 3 Years for Malicious System Attackshttps://www.theregister.com/2025/04/29/former_disney_employee_jailed/A former Disney employee has received a 36-month prison sentence and been ordered to pay nearly $688,000 in fines after pleading guilty to sabotaging the entertainment giant's restaurant menu systems following his termination.Michael Scheuer, a Winter Garden, Florida resident who previously served as Disney's Menu Production Manager, was arrested in October and charged with violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) and committing aggravated identity theft. He accepted a plea agreement in January, with sentencing finalized last week in federal court in Orlando.According to court documents, Scheuer's June 13, 2024 termination from Disney for misconduct was described as "contentious and not amicable." In July, he retaliated by making unauthorized access to Disney's Menu Creator application, hosted by a third-party vendor in Minnesota, and implementing various destructive changes.The attacks included replacing Disney's themed fonts with Wingdings, rendering menus unreadable, and altering menu images and background files to display as blank white pages. These changes propagated throughout the database, making the Menu Creator system inoperable for one to two weeks. The damage was so severe that Disney has since abandoned the application entirely.Particularly concerning were Scheuer's alterations to allergen information, falsely indicating certain menu items were safe for people with specific allergies—changes that "could have had fatal consequences depending on the type and severity of a customer's allergy," according to the plea agreement. He also modified wine region labels to reference locations of mass shootings, added swastika graphics, and altered QR codes to direct customers to a website promoting a boycott of Israel.Scheuer employed multiple methods to conduct his attacks, including using an administrative account via a Mullvad VPN, exploiting a URL-based contractor access mechanism, and targeting SFTP servers that stored menu files. He also conducted denial of service attacks that made over 100,000 incorrect login attempts, locking out fourteen Disney employees from their enterprise accounts.The FBI executed a search warrant at Scheuer's residence on September 23, 2024, at which point the attacks immediately ceased. Agents discovered virtual machines used for the attacks and a "doxxing file" containing personal information on five Disney employees and a family member of one worker.Following his prison term, Scheuer will undergo three years of supervised release with various conditions, including a prohibition on contacting Disney or any of the individual victims.

We've been in enough conversations to know when something clicks. This one did — and it did from the very first moment.In our debut Brand Story with White Knight Labs, we sat down with co-founders John Stigerwalt and Greg Hatcher, and what unfolded was more than a company intro — it was a behind-the-scenes look at what offensive security should be.John's journey is the kind that earns your respect quickly: he started at the help desk and worked his way to CISO, before pivoting into red teaming and co-founding WKL. Greg's path was more unconventional — from orchestral musician to Green Beret to cybersecurity leader. Two very different stories, but a shared philosophy: learn by doing, adapt without a manual, and never take the easy route when something meaningful is on the table.That mindset now defines how White Knight Labs works with clients. They don't sell cookie-cutter pen tests. Instead, they ask the right question up front: How does your business make money? Because if you can answer that, you can identify what a real-world attacker would go after. Then they simulate it — not in theory, but in practice.Their ransomware simulation service is a perfect example. They don't just show up with a scanner. They emulate modern adversaries using Cobalt Strike, bypassing endpoint defenses with in-house payloads, encrypting and exfiltrating data like it's just another Tuesday. Most clients fail the test — not because they're careless, but because most simulations aren't this real.And that's the point.White Knight Labs isn't here to help companies check a box. They're here to expose the gaps and raise the bar — because real threats don't play fair, and security shouldn't pretend they do.What makes them different is what they don't do. They're not an all-in-one shop, and they're proud of that. They won't touch IR for major breaches — they've got partners for that. They only resell hardware and software they've personally vetted. That honesty builds credibility. That kind of focus builds trust.Their training programs are just as intense. Between live DEF CON courses and their online platform, they're giving both new and experienced professionals a chance to train the way they operate: no shortcuts, no watered-down certs, just hard-earned skills that translate into real-world readiness.Pass their ODPC certification, and you'll probably get a call — not because they need to check a hiring box, but because it proves you're serious. And if you can write loaders that bypass real defenses? You're speaking their language.This first conversation with John and Greg reminded us why we started this series in the first place. It's not just about product features or service offerings — it's about people who live and breathe what they do, and who bring that passion into every test, every client call, and every training they offer.We've got more stories with them on the way. But if this first one is any sign of what's to come, we're in for something special.⸻Learn more about White Knight Labs: Guests:John Stigerwalt | Founder at White Knight Labs | Red Team Operations Leader | https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-stigerwalt-90a9b4110/Greg Hatcher | Founder at White Knight Labs | SOF veteran | Red Team | https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregoryhatcher2/White Knight Labs Website | https://itspm.ag/white-knight-labs-vukr______________________Keywords: penetration testing, red team, ransomware simulation, offensive security, EDR bypass, cybersecurity training, White Knight Labs, advanced persistent threat, cybersecurity startup, DEF CON training, security partnerships, cybersecurity services______________________ResourcesVisit the White Knight Labs Website to learn more: https://itspm.ag/white-knight-labs-vukrLearn more and catch more stories from White Knight Labs on ITSPmagazine: https://www.itspmagazine.com/directory/white-knight-labsLearn more about ITSPmagazine Brand Story Podcasts: https://www.itspmagazine.com/purchase-programsNewsletter Archive: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/tune-into-the-latest-podcasts-7109347022809309184/Business Newsletter Signup: https://www.itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-business-updates-sign-upAre you interested in telling your story?https://www.itspmagazine.com/telling-your-story

Jane Lo, MySecurity Media Singapore Correspondent sat down with Syed Ubaid Ali Jafri, Head of Cyber Defense and Offensive Security at Habib Bank Limited (HBL), at Tech Week Singapore, to get his insights on the sophistication of these threats. We delved into:Motivations for Attacks on Financial Institutions:Financial gain and data exploitation are prime motivations behind phishing and cyber attacks targeting banks. Attackers seek customer data, card details, and account balances, which they can use to extort or sell for profit.Financial institutions are particularly vulnerable due to their reputational concerns, leading some to pay ransoms to protect customer privacy.Increasing Accessibility of Cybercrime Tools:Advanced phishing tools, previously available only on the dark web, are now accessible on the surface web, enabling even less-skilled cybercriminals to launch attacks.With the rise of AI, non-experts can craft convincing phishing emails, bypassing traditional spam filters and reaching unsuspecting targets.Role of AI in Sophisticated Cyber Attacks:Gen AI and voice cloning technology make phishing more personalized and convincing, allowing attackers to craft emails and messages that mimic the target's language and communication style.The evolution from simple phishing to sophisticated voice and deepfake attacks was also highlighted, showing how AI can now be used to clone voices and create realistic fake videos with as few as 15 images.Challenges in Detecting AI-Driven Phishing and Deepfake Attacks:Deepfake technology makes it challenging for the average user to distinguish between real and fake communications. Convincing voice and video deepfakes are increasingly used in spear-phishing, targeting specific individuals with tailored scams.AI-powered tools generate flawless text, removing traditional phishing indicators like spelling errors or urgency cues, which previously helped users identify phishing emails.Recommendations for Protection:Users are advised to be cautious about what they share online, as personal information posted publicly can help cybercriminals tailor their attacks.Security tools like deepfake detection software can help individuals identify fake voices or videos, though awareness and cautious online behavior remain critical.Cybersecurity education is essential, with both vendors and users needing awareness of AI-driven threats to implement better protective measuresRecorded 10th Oct 2024, Tech Week Singapore 2024, 12.40pm.#mysecuritytv

If a business wants to know what an adversary might be capable of, they can seek the help of a red team. These cybersecurity professionals are tasked with emulating adversary activity to achieve specific objectives in their clients' environments. Their goal is to find an organization's weaknesses — before a real adversary does — so it can strengthen its security posture. But what does a red team actually do, and who are the people on these teams? In this episode, Cristian is joined by CrowdStrike Director of Professional Services Vincent Uguccioni and Professional Services Principal Consultant Brent Harrell to dive into all things red teaming. Both seasoned experts with fascinating backgrounds, Vincent and Brent define what red teaming is (and what it isn't), explain how it has evolved, debunk common misconceptions about what red teamers do and explain the value of the many different skills the members of a red team have. The goal of the red team is to help, not hurt. Red teamers may need to think like an adversary when they're navigating a client environment, but their broader strategy involves collaborating with the client and blue team to guide remediation and improve the client's security. Vincent and Brent also walk us through the process of a red team engagement, from initial client discussions to final reporting, and share how they adjust their approaches as adversary techniques evolve. And if you're interested in becoming a red teamer, they share some guidance for that as well. On a related note, we recently introduced CrowdStrike AI Red Team Services.

In this episode we sit down with the Founder/CEO of Horizon3.ai to discuss disrupting the Pen Testing and Offensive Security ecosystem, and building and scaling a security startup - from a founders perspective.From HP, to Splunk to JSOC - all leading to founding Horizon3, Snehal brings a unique perspective of business acumen and technical depth and puts on a masterclass around venture, founding and scaling a team and disrupting the industry!---- For those not familiar with your background who Horizon3AI, can you tell us a bit about both?You are building something special at Horizon3AI and I will dive into that here soon, but you've also been posting some great content about building a security startup, the team, the market dynamics and more, so I wanted to spend a little time chatting about that. - First off, your company was recently listed by Forbes as one of the top 25 venture backed startups likely to reach a $1 billion dollar valuation. How did that feel and what do you think contributed to your team landing on such a prestigious list?- Speaking of venture backed, you recently participated in the Innovators and Investors Summit at BlackHat where you and other panelists dove into the topic of what founders should look for in investors and how VC's can stand out in a highly competitive market. As someone who's navigated that journey and is now being listed on lists such as that from Forbes - what are some of your key lessons learned and recommendations for early-stage founders?- You've stressed the importance of the team over the initial idea and what you've called "pace setters" and "ankle weights" within the team and the importance of both. Can you elaborate on the terms and broader context around building a foundational team to scale the company successfully?- You also have discussed the 4 advantages iconic companies build over time, what are they and why do they help differentiate you?- Pivoting a bit, you have a really unique background, blending both the private and public/defense sector. How do you think that's helped shape you and the way you've build your team and company and approach the market?- Horizon3AI is big on the mantra of "offense informed defense". Why is that critical and why do you think we miss the value in this approach in many spaces in the security ecosystem?- You all have poked some fun at the way many organizations operate, running vuln scans, doing an annual pen test, and having a false sense of security. How is Horizon3AI disrupting the traditional Pen Testing space and leading to more secure organizational outcomes?

Host Karl Palachuk interviews Wes Hutcherson and Stuart Ashenbrenner from Huntress on the challenges and (and victories) of securing macOS endpoints. As you know, MacOS represents a growing percentage of the business device operating system market, outperforming both Linux and ChromeOS. Since this is going to be a growing portion of the endpoints you support, it's good to know how you're doing to do that. And with so many "home" and personal devices now being used for company purposes, quick response is important as well. The panel addresses the challenges of the MacOS users - including their persistent reluctance to believe that their devices need protection at all! There is a false sense of security around MacOS, driven by old-school understandings of Mac security and the realities of well-funded adversaries on the dark web. MacOS malware now accounts for 6.2% of all endpoint OS malware. Half of all MacOS users have been affected by malware, hacking, or scams. You can expect that to grow as well. ----- Thanks to Huntress for sponsoring the SMB Community Podcast.

Doug sheds light on the dynamics of managing security across different jurisdictions, emphasizing the importance of local expertise and overarching global strategies. Together, we explore the prevalent cyber threats that JLL and other organizations of its stature grapple with. Doug shares the transformative impact of real-time endpoint monitoring on JLL's cybersecurity posture, highlighting its role in enhancing incident response capabilities. The broader industry has its challenges. Doug and I discuss the relentless pace of the cybersecurity sector, the balancing act between data privacy and augmented security measures, and the critical symbiosis between security and business. The episode also touches on innovative training programs and technologies, such as Immersive Labs and CASB, that are ushering in a new era of cybersecurity preparedness. Wrapping up, Doug, with his rich background as a former 'spook' and red team leader, offers a nuanced perspective on the pressing need to find the middle ground between rigorous data collection and upholding privacy. Join us in this riveting episode as we journey through the cyber labyrinths of a global giant and uncover the strategies, challenges, and solutions that shape the future of organizational security.

In this episode Brad and Spencer discuss the nuances around scoping offensive security engagements. Scoping an offensive security engagement involves defining boundaries, objectives, and limitations before starting. It includes objectives, rules, scope boundaries, legal considerations, timeframe, reporting, approval, and sign-off. Scoping is important for clarity, risk management, compliance, stakeholder involvement, and setting expectations.Blog: https://offsec.blog/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@cyberthreatpovTwitter: https://twitter.com/cyberthreatpovWork with Us: https://securit360.com
Red Team X is a security team at Meta that is responsible for finding and exploiting vulnerabilities in third-party products that could impact Meta's own security. The team acts as a hybrid between a traditional red team, which focuses on probing their own organisation's systems and products for vulnerabilities, and an elite bug-hunting group. The team was founded by Vlad I. in 2020 when the pandemic and the sudden shift to Work From Home challenged various previously-held assumptions about security. In his discussion with Pascal, Vlad explains the roles of different security teams within Meta, how they go about prioritising the highest-impact targets to exploit and how they work with vendors to ensure not just Meta but the entire world benefits from the fixes produced.
