While phishing and ransomware dominate headlines, another critical risk quietly persists across most enterprises: exposed Git repositories leaking sensitive data. A risk that silently creates shadow access into core systems Git is the backbone of modern software development, hosting millions of repositories and serving thousands of organizations worldwide. Yet, amid the daily hustle of shipping code, developers may inadvertently leave behind API keys, tokens, or passwords in configuration files and code files, effectively handing attackers the keys to the kingdom. This isn't just about poor hygiene; it's a systemic and growing supply chain risk. As cyber threats become more sophisticated, so do compliance requirements. Security frameworks like NIS2, SOC2, and ISO 27001 now demand proof that software delivery pipelines are hardened and third-party risk is controlled. The message is clear: securing your Git repositories is no longer optional, it's essential. Below, we look at the ris...

ICQ vulnerable to account theft using JavaScripts In security advisories for ICQ ( https://noptrix.net/advisories/icq_cli_xss.txt )and the ICQ web site ( https://noptrix.net/advisories/icq_web_xss.txt ), security researcher Levent Kayan warns that both the ICQ instant messenger for Windows and the ICQ web site contain vulnerabilities that potentially allow attackers to take control of a user's ICQ account. According to Kayan ICQ doesn't adequately check user's profile information and fails properly to analyse status messages, which can be freely chosen by users, to see if they contain executable code. Kayan recently discovered a similar hole in the Skype client. Heise Security was able to reproduce the flaw discovered by Kayan using the current 7.5 version of ICQ. ICQ told that it was in the process of developing and testing a security fix.

Paypal gives FBI the list of IP Address of 1,000 Anomymous hackers Paypal collected 1000 IP addresses of those carrying out Anonymous' DDoS attacks against PayPal last December. To be fair the names on the list will probably be the bottom feeding script kiddies rather than the hackers at the top of Anomymous's greasy pole. The clever hackers know to mask their IP addresses first. An FBI affidavit suggests the Untouchables may have lots more people to arrest. FBI agent Chris Thompson says PayPal security officials were in close contact with the bureau beginning 6 December, two days after PayPal froze WikiLeaks' donation account and the first day it began receiving serious denial-of-service traffic. FBI agents began monitoring Anonymous press releases while PayPal collected traffic logs on a Radware intrusion prevention system installed on its network. Paypal gave the feds a USB thumb drive containing the Radware reports, which documented " approximately 1,000 ...

War Texting : Hackers Unlock Car Doors Via SMS Don Bailey and Mathew Solnik, Two hackers have found a way to unlock cars that use remote control and telemetry systems like BMW Assist, GM OnStar, Ford Sync, and Hyundai Blue Link. These systems communicate with the automaker's remote servers via standard standard mobile networks like GSM and CDMA — and with a clever bit of reverse engineering, the hackers were able to pose as these servers and communicate directly with a car's on-board computer via " war texting " — a riff on "war driving," the act of finding open wireless networks. Don Bailey and Mathew Solnik, both employees of iSEC Partners, will deliver their findings at next week's Black Hat USA conference in Las Vegas in a briefing entitled " War Texting: Identifying and Interacting with Devices on the Telephone Network. " The exact details of the attack won't be disclosed until the affected manufacturers have had a chance to fix their systems, and the hackers are not expected ...
