Security Briefing: Cloudflare Loses Logs, LogoFAIL Exploited, Firefox Zero Days
Description
December 4th, 2024 Security Briefing with IANS Faculty Wolfgang Goerlich and Jake Williams
This Episode Details:
- Cloudflare’s Missing Logs - On November 14, Cloudflare made changes to an internal service that resulted in the loss of 55% of all logs pushed to customers over a 3.5 hour period. Users of the “Cloudflare Logs” service were impacted by what can only be described as a cascading failure.
- LogoFAIL Actively Exploited - Last week, researchers discovered code named BootKitty that was using the LogoFAIL vulnerability to exploit UEFI and load malware at boot time. Malware deployed in this manner loads before any security products and breaks the “secure boot” paradigm.
- RomCom’s Firefox Zero Days - Security firm ESET has identified that the Russian-attributed threat actor group RomCom is using an exploit chain of two zero-day vulnerabilities in Firefox to exploit targets across Europe and North America. The exploits do not require user interaction (zero-click).
