A hacker has shared a new database on an underground forum, claiming it contained data stolen from Okta – however the company begs to differ.

In late October 2023, cybercriminals broke into Okta systems and stole client session cookies, potentially giving them access to those companies’ networks, and opening the doors to malware and ransomware attacks. Subsequent investigation showed that all of Okta’s customers were affected. 

In a multi-year intrusion, Web hosting platform GoDaddy has revealed that cyber-criminals gained access to its systems, installed malware on its network and stolen parts of its source code.

In order to further investigate the issue, the company said that it is working with multiple law enforcement agencies around the world, in addition to forensics experts.

GoDaddy Targeted by Cyber Criminals

The company said in a statement that “We have evidence, and law enforcement has confirmed, that this incident was carried out by a sophisticated and organised group targeting hosting services like GoDaddy”.

The hackers’ goal was to infect websites and servers with malware for phishing campaigns, malware distribution and other malicious activities. GoDaddy revealed in a US Securities and…

A new traffic direction system (TDS) called Parrot has been spotted leveraging tens of thousands of compromised websites to launch further malicious campaigns.

“The TDS has infected various web servers hosting more than 16,500 websites, ranging from adult content sites, personal websites, university sites, and local government sites,” Avast researchers Pavel Novák and Jan Rubín said in a report published last week.

Traffic direction systems are used by threat actors to determine whether or not a target is of interest and should be redirected to a malicious domain under their control and act as a gateway to compromise their systems with malware.

Earlier this January, the BlackBerry Research and Intelligence Team detailed another TDS called Prometheus that has been put to use in…

Several websites have been disrupted by a cyberattack on Israeli web hosting firm Cyberserve, with attackers stealing sensitive personally identifiable information (PII) about its customers, some of whom are not aligned with the views of the conservative country.

The BlackShadow hacking group has claimed responsibility for the attack.

In the days leading up to the assault, the National Cyber Directorate had warned CyberServe on several occasions, according to The Times of Israel.

BlackShadow is also apparently demanding money from hosting providers’ clients in addition to CyberServe.

Assailing clients

BlackShadow is an Iranian-sponsored cyber warfare group that has a track record of attacking Israeli targets and has been linked to the Pay2Key ransomware strain, according to…

A web hosting company that has provided services to several controversial right-wing websites has confirmed that it has been hacked. CNN and The Washington Post report that the information has been made public by hacking collective Anonymous.

CNN and The Post report that 150 gigabytes of previously private data have been made public. Experts believe that the massive hack could shed more light on the far-right groups that attempted to overturn the 2020 presidential election and or advocate for violence against certain racial and ethnic groups.

The hosting company, Epik, has made a name for itself by providing web hosting capabilities to far-right groups who have been kicked offline by other companies who refuse to host their hateful content.

In recent years, Epik has provided hosting…
