SANS Stormcast Tuesday, October 14th, 2025: ESAFENET Scans; Payroll Priates; MSFT Edge IE Mode Scans for ESAFENET CDG V5 We do see some increase in scans for the Chinese secure document management system, ESAFENET. https://isc.sans.edu/diary/Heads%20Up%3A%20Scans%20for%20ESAFENET%20CDG%20V5%20/32364 Investigating targeted "payroll pirate" attacks affecting US universities Microsoft wrote about how payroll pirates redirect employee paychecks via phishing. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/security/blog/2025/10/09/investigating-targeted-payroll-pirate-attacks-affecting-us-universities/ Attacks against Edge via IE Mode Microsoft Edge offers an IE legacy mode to support websites created for Internet Explorer. The old JavaScript engine, which is part of this mode, has been abused in recent attacks, and Microsoft will make it more difficult to enable IE Mode to counter these attacks. https://microsoftedge.github.io/edgevr/posts/Changes-to-Internet-Explorer-Mode-in-Microsoft-Edge/ keywords: microsoft; ie; internet explorer; edge; javascript; payroll; pirates
