Scans for Solana (Surfpool?) Endpoints, (Mon, Aug 10th)

von

Solana is a crypto platform known for speed. Developers like it to develop distributed applications or to implement crypto payments. To interact with the blockchain, APIs are provided for developers. These APIs will either „speak“ JSON or gRPC. One implementation often used for development is „surfpool,“ which is used to test programs before deploying them … Weiterlesen

New Passkey Attacks Can Recover Synced Private Keys or Bypass Phishing-Resistant MFA

von

Three separate research efforts last week demonstrated ways to defeat passkey protections without breaking the cryptography they rest on. Passkeys are designed to replace reusable passwords and resist phishing. The attacks instead reused signed authentication material that Windows had exposed, abused a cloud-synced passkey system from malware already on the victim’s machine, and used a  … Weiterlesen

Shipping 10–50× More Code? Watch This Webinar on Securing AI-Speed Development

von

AI is helping development teams produce far more code, far faster. But security teams still have to review vulnerabilities, manage dependencies, prioritize fixes, and control risk at human speed. When software output jumps 10 to 50 times, the problem is no longer just finding vulnerabilities. It is keeping security from becoming the bottleneck, or worse, … Weiterlesen
