This week we look at the US's new cybercrime reporting law that was just passed. We examine a worrisome software supply chain sabotage and the trend it represents. We look at "Browser-in-the-browser," a new way to spoof sign-in dialogs to capture authentication credentials, and we examine the way MicroTik routers are being used by the TrickBot botnet to obscure their command and control servers. A very concerning infinite loop bug has been uncovered in OpenSSL (time to update!) and CISA walks us through their forensic analysis of a Russian attack on an NGO. We then take a look at the Windows vulnerability that refuses to be resolved, and we'll finish by spending a bit more time than we have so far looking more closely at why User-After-Free flaws continue to be so challenging.
