    Quishing for trouble. [Research Saturday]

    Adam Khan, VP of Security Operations at Barracuda, joins to discuss his team's work on "The evolving use of QR codes in phishing attacks." Cybercriminals are evolving phishing tactics by embedding QR codes, or “quishing,” into PDF documents attached to emails, tricking recipients into scanning them to access malicious websites that steal credentials. Barracuda researchers found over half a million such emails from June to September 2024, with most impersonating brands like Microsoft, DocuSign, and Adobe to exploit urgency and trust. To counter these attacks, businesses should deploy multilayered email security, use AI-powered detection tools, educate employees on QR code risks, and enable multifactor authentication to safeguard accounts.

    Watching the watchers. IoT vulnerabilities exposed by AI. [Research Saturday]

    This week, we are joined by Andrew Morris, Founder and CTO of GreyNoise, to discuss their work on "GreyNoise Intelligence Discovers Zero-Day Vulnerabilities in Live Streaming Cameras with the Help of AI." GreyNoise discovered two critical zero-day vulnerabilities in IoT-connected live streaming cameras, used in sensitive environments like healthcare and industrial operations, by leveraging its AI-powered detection system, Sift. The vulnerabilities, CVE-2024-8956 (insufficient authentication) and CVE-2024-8957 (OS command injection), could allow attackers to take full control of affected devices, manipulate video feeds, or integrate them into botnets for broader attacks. This breakthrough underscores the transformative role of AI in identifying threats that traditional systems might miss, highlighting the urgent need for robust cybersecurity measures in the expanding IoT landscape.
