Quantum leap: Passwords in the new era of computing security

It’s more a case of building stronger locks to protect our important data and resources, rather than removing the locks altogether. By creating longer, more complex passwords built on greater sizes of hash keys, passwords will be more secure against attacks, even against quantum computing.

Cascading Redirects: Unmasking a Multi-Site JavaScript Malware Campaign

A recent investigation uncovered a malicious JavaScript injection affecting WordPress websites, redirecting visitors to unwanted third-party domains. The attack vector involves a two-stage redirection process, injecting code into theme files and loading external scripts. The malware creates hidden elements to force redirects, potentially leading to phishing pages, malvertising, exploit kits, or scam sites. At least 31 infected websites were identified, with domains like awards2today[.]top and chilsihooveek[.]net involved. The infection methods include compromised admin accounts, exploited vulnerabilities, inadequate file permissions, and hidden PHP backdoors. Impacts include traffic loss, reputation damage, SEO blacklisting, and risks of further infections. Detection involves inspecting network activity and file modifications, while prevention measures include regular security audits, updates, strong passwords, and web application firewalls.
