government, academia, and the tech industry.  The Vulnerability Research Initiative (VRI), a dedicated program designed to boost the UK’s capability to uncover and understand vulnerabilities in both widely used and niche technologies. The NCSC is working with external researchers, the UK government, and industry partners to identify weaknesses before malicious actors can exploit them.  In-House Expertise Driving National Cyber Guidance  The NCSC maintains a specialized team of internal researchers who focus on vulnerability research across a wide spectrum of technologies. These range from mainstream products used daily across the UK to rare, highly specialized systems deployed in sensitive environments. By investigating how vulnerabilities emerge in these systems, NCSC experts gain crucial insights into the security landscape.  This internal research is instrumental in shaping NCSC’s official guidance, risk mitigation strategies, and incident response protocols. Whether it's advising the UK government or informing public-facing cybersecurity measures, the knowledge gained from NCSC vulnerability research ensures that the country’s cyber defenses are backed by a deep technical understanding.  The Challenge of Modern Vulnerability Research  As technology continues to evolve at breakneck speed, so does the complexity of securing it. Newer technologies often come with stronger built-in defenses, making the process of finding and understanding vulnerabilities more challenging. As a result, the demand for skilled and innovative vulnerability research is greater than ever before.  Recognizing this, the NCSC has expanded its reach beyond its internal teams, working closely with external experts to amplify its research capacity. These collaborations are not just about discovering flaws; they’re about understanding how these flaws are found, what tools and methodologies are most effective, and how the broader cybersecurity ecosystem can benefit from shared insights.  Introducing the Vulnerability Research Initiative (VRI)  Launched by the NCSC, the Vulnerability Research Initiative is a key vehicle for engaging with the external security community. Through VRI, the NCSC partners with top-tier vulnerability researchers to explore a wide range of technologies that are vital to the UK’s national interests.  The goals of the VRI include identifying existing vulnerabilities, determining effective mitigations, understanding researchers’ methods (known as "tradecraft"), and evaluating the tools they use. This collaborative framework boosts the NCSC’s capacity for vulnerability research and helps distribute expertise across the UK’s cyber landscape.  The core VRI team at the NCSC includes technical experts, relationship managers, and project managers. Their role is to translate research requirements into actionable projects with external partners, monitor ongoing work, and ensure the outcomes are integrated into the UK’s broader cybersecurity strategies.  From Research to Action  The ultimate impact of this research extends far beyond academic insight. As the National Technical Authority on cybersecurity, the NCSC uses its findings to engage directly with technology vendors, encouraging them to patch critical bugs and design more secure systems from the outset.  Moreover, the results of NCSC vulnerability research feed into national cyber policies and public-facing guidance. The center's Equities Process, operated by GCHQ on behalf of the UK government, ensures that decisions around vulnerability disclosure are handled responsibly, balancing the need for public protection with broader national security considerations.

Europe’s cyberlaw enforcers just dealt a blow to the pro‑Russian hacktivist group NoName057(16), notorious for orchestrating DDoS attacks on NATO-aligned nations. A coordinated international operation led by Europol targeted the group’s infrastructure including more than 100 servers worldwide, and affiliates in   show more ...  

a strike timed to disrupt its ability to launch cyberattacks from the source. Tactical Takedown The takedown, executed earlier this month under the banner name "Operation Eastwood", was the result of a multi-country law enforcement operation targeting the group’s infrastructure, financial channels, and administrative operators. The group gained notoriety for its highly coordinated digital assaults on critical infrastructure in Ukraine-supporting countries, including Poland, Lithuania, Norway, and the United States. Its weapon of choice was distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks that crippled government portals, financial services, and public transport websites—often with overt political messaging and nationalistic undertones. About NoName057(16) Operating primarily through encrypted Telegram channels and GitHub repositories, NoName057(16) has been active since early 2022, launching aggressive DDoS attacks under the guise of patriotic retaliation for Western support to Ukraine. Their infrastructure was supported by a publicly distributed DDoS toolkit called "DDOSIA," which enabled followers and freelance hacktivists to launch packet floods against chosen targets using a plug-and-play interface. The campaign’s distributed model—paired with constant propaganda drops on Telegram—allowed the group to crowdsource digital disruption at scale. [caption id="attachment_103856" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Source: Europol[/caption] According to Europol, the network relied on both centrally coordinated command-and-control servers and loosely affiliated contributors executing instructions provided in public forums. Their tactics, while not the most sophisticated in the cyber arsenal, were effective precisely because of their relentless nature and ideological fervor. They primarily focused on: DDoS Attacks: Flooding websites and online services, making them inaccessible to legitimate users. Targeting Critical Sectors: Railways, transportation, media, healthcare, and government portals across Europe and North America have all felt their wrath. Propaganda and Intimidation: Beyond the technical disruption, their attacks served a psychological purpose, aiming to sow chaos and demonstrate Russia's digital reach. They weren't just hackers; they were digital saboteurs, aligned with a broader geopolitical agenda, operating in a gray zone where patriotism and cybercrime seamlessly intertwined. Also read: Undercover Researchers Decode Hidden Operations of NoName057(16) Impact of 'Operation Eastwood' The law enforcement offensive was coordinated by Europol’s European Cybercrime Centre (EC3) and involved authorities from the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Slovakia, the Netherlands, and the United States. Key outcomes from the operation include: Two suspects arrested and multiple others identified across jurisdictions. Dozens of digital assets seized, including over 100 servers worldwide, Telegram admin credentials, GitHub-hosted malware tools, and likely cryptocurrency wallets tied to NoName057(16)’s crowdfunding campaigns. The group’s Telegram bot, used to assign attack targets and display real-time “victory” messages, was taken offline. While not explicitly stated in every detail, disrupting the financial channels that sustain such groups is always a critical component of these operations. Last year, the Spanish authorities arrested three individuals linked to the hacktivist group from Mallorca, Huelva, and Seville. Information recovered from the seized devices and infrastructure during these arrests could possibly have been the starting point of Operation Eastwood. Also read: Spanish Police Arrests Three Suspects Linked to NoName057(16) Attacks The Victims Since its inception, NoName057(16) has zeroed in on NATO-aligned countries. The group’s targets have included: Ministries and parliaments in the Nordic and Baltic states Energy and transport providers in Eastern Europe News agencies and media outlets in the United States, Germany, and France Banking portals and defense-linked services in Sweden, Poland, Czech Republic, and Italy Many of these attacks followed political events such as arms deliveries to Ukraine or high-profile visits from Western leaders. According to Europol, this political opportunism was strategically timed to create digital disruption and social unrest while promoting pro-Kremlin narratives. Telegram, GitHub, and the Crowdsourced DDoS Model NoName057(16) leveraged GitHub to host its DDoS scripts and Telegram to communicate attack targets. One of their key innovations was the use of the DDOSIA platform, which allowed followers to launch attacks and receive cryptocurrency rewards. This gamified hacktivism model blurred the lines between cybercrime, patriotic activism, and low-cost cyberwarfare. By outsourcing infrastructure destruction to willing volunteers, the group created what Europol called a “cybercrime-as-a-crowd” model. But that decentralized strength also became a weakness. Law enforcement teams were able to track the Telegram admins and DDoS software updates via GitHub commits and relay servers. This digital breadcrumbs could also possibly have led directly to the infrastructure takedown and identification of suspects. Europol says the offensive against NoName057(16) is ongoing. With suspects identified and infrastructure seized, the group’s future campaigns face heightened disruption. Still, NoName057(16) thrives on ad hoc organization and loosely affiliated participants. Taking out servers is tactical; shifting ideology, platforms, and anonymity is strategic. Tracking Telegram channels, GitHub repos, and IP watermarking tactics will be vital for continued disruption.

A new vulnerability, CVE-2025-6043, has been discovered in the Malcure Malware Scanner plugin for WordPress, a popular security tool used by over 10,000 websites to detect and remove malware. Security researchers from Wordfence disclosed this flaw on July 15, 2025, identifying it as a high-severity issue rated 8.1 on   show more ...  

the CVSS scale. The vulnerability, tracked under CVE-2025-6043, remains unpatched as of July 16, 2025. The issue lies in versions up to and including 16.8 of the plugin. The vulnerability allows authenticated users, even those with the lowest level of access, such as "subscribers", to exploit a function called wpmr_delete_file() that lacks proper capability checks. If exploited, this flaw can result in arbitrary file deletion on the server, potentially leading to remote code execution, especially if advanced mode is enabled on the affected site. What Makes CVE-2025-6043 Dangerous?  “This vulnerability is particularly concerning because the ‘subscriber’ role is often the default for registered users on many WordPress sites,” said Arkadiusz Hydzik, the security researcher credited with discovering the flaw. The vulnerability falls under the classification of missing authorization, with the attack vector categorized as network-based (AV:N), requiring low complexity (AC:L) and low privileges (PR:L) to exploit. Notably, no user interaction (UI:N) is required, which means an attacker can exploit the flaw without tricking users into taking any actions. Despite being a well-regarded plugin described as the "#1 Toolset for WordPress Malware Removal," the Malcure Malware Scanner's lack of proper access control in this function exposes websites to serious risk. Given the plugin's reputation and widespread usage, this vulnerability, CVE-2025-6043, has gained attention within the WordPress and cybersecurity communities. No Patch Released Unfortunately, no official patch has been released by the developers of the Malcure Malware Scanner plugin as of this writing. Wordfence has advised users to consider disabling or uninstalling the plugin until a fix is provided, especially if their websites allow user registrations. Security professionals are urging site owners to evaluate their risk tolerance and take proactive measures. This includes monitoring user activity, disabling unnecessary user registrations, or switching to alternative malware scanning solutions with a stronger security record. The vulnerability is particularly dangerous when combined with advanced configurations of the plugin, such as "advanced mode," which may elevate the impact of unauthorized file deletions. These deletions could potentially corrupt site functionality, erase critical configuration files, or open doors for further exploitation, including uploading malicious scripts or backdoors. For now, WordPress administrators are advised to stay updated with the latest threat intelligence and keep a close watch on plugin updates. Until a secure version is released, using the Malcure Malware Scanner plugin in a production environment remains at risk.  Conclusion   The discovery of CVE-2025-6043 highlights the importance of regular plugin audits and enforcing the principle of least privilege for user roles. Disclosed on July 15, 2025, the flaw allows subscriber-level users to delete arbitrary files due to missing access controls, posing a serious threat to affected sites. With no patch currently available, users are strongly advised to uninstall or replace the plugin to mitigate risk.

A recently disclosed breach of thousands of ASUS home routers goes to show that your home Wi-Fi access point isnt just useful to you (and possibly your neighbors) — its also coveted by cybercriminals and even state-sponsored hackers carrying out targeted espionage attacks. This new attack, presumably linked to the   show more ...  

infamous APT31 group, is still ongoing. What makes it especially dangerous is its stealthy nature and the unconventional approach required to defend against it. Thats why its crucial to understand why malicious actors target routers — and how to protect yourself from these hacker tricks. How compromised routers are exploited Residential proxy. When hackers target large companies or government agencies, the attacks are often detected by unusual IP addresses attempting to access the secured network. Its highly suspicious when a company operates in one country, but an employee suddenly logs in to the corporate network from another. Logins from known VPN-server addresses are equally suspect. To mask their activities, cybercriminals use compromised routers located in the country — and sometimes even in the specific city — close to their intended target. They funnel all their requests through your router, which then forwards the data to the target computer. To monitoring systems, this looks just like a regular employee accessing work resources from home — nothing to raise any eyebrows. Command-and-control server. Attackers can host malware on the compromised device for target computers to download. Or, conversely, they can exfiltrate data from the network directly to your router. Honeypot for competitors. A router can be used as bait (a honeypot) to study the techniques used by other hacker groups. Mining rig. Any computing device can be used for crypto mining. Using a router for mining isnt particularly efficient, but when a cybercriminal isnt paying for electricity or equipment, it still pays off for them. Traffic manipulation tool. A compromised router can intercept and alter the contents of internet connections. This allows attackers to target any device connected to the home network. The range of applications for this technique is broad: from stealing passwords to injecting ads into web pages. DDoS bot. Any home device, including routers, baby monitors, smart speakers, and even smart kettles, can be linked together into a botnet and used to overwhelm any online service with millions of simultaneous requests from those devices. These options appeal to various groups of attackers. While mining, ad injection, and DDoS attacks are typically of interest to financially motivated cybercriminals, targeted attacks launched from behind a residential IP address are usually carried out either by ransomware gangs or by groups engaged in genuine espionage. This sounds like something out of a spy novel, but its so widespread that the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and FBI have issued multiple warnings about it at various times. True to form, spies operate with utmost stealth, so router owners rarely ever notice that their device is being used for more than its intended purpose. How routers get hacked The two most common ways to hack a router are by brute-forcing the password to its administration interface and by exploiting software vulnerabilities in its firmware. In the first scenario, attackers take advantage of owners leaving the router with its factory settings and the default password admin, or have changed the password to something simple to remember — and easy to guess, like 123456. Once they crack the password, attackers can log in to the control panel just like the owner would. In the second scenario, attackers remotely probe the router to identify its manufacturer and model, then try known vulnerabilities one by one to seize control of the device. Typically, after a successful hack, they install hidden malware on the router to perform their desired functions. You may spot that somethings wrong when your internet slows down, your routers CPU is working overtime, or the router itself even starts overheating. A factory reset or firmware update usually eliminates the threat. However, the recent attacks on ASUS routers were a different story. What makes the ASUS attacks different, and how to spot them The main thing about this attack is that you cant fix it with a simple firmware update. Attackers set up a hidden backdoor with administrative access that persists through regular reboots and firmware updates. To start the attack, the malicious actor employs both of the techniques described above. If brute-forcing the admin password fails, attackers exploit two vulnerabilities to bypass authentication entirely. From this point on, the attack becomes more sophisticated. The attackers use yet another vulnerability to activate the routers built-in SSH remote management feature. They then add their own cryptographic key to the settings, which allows them to connect to the device and control it. Few home users ever manage their router using SSH or check the settings section where administrative keys are listed, so this access technique can go unnoticed for years. All three vulnerabilities exploited in this attack have since been patched by the vendor. However, if your router was previously compromised, updating its firmware wont remove the backdoor. You need to open your routers settings and check if an SSH server is enabled — listening on port 53282. If so, disable the SSH server and delete the administrative SSH key, which starts with the characters AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EA If youre not sure how to do all that, theres a more drastic solution: a full factory reset. Its not just ASUS The researchers who discovered the ASUS attack believe its part of a broader campaign that has hit around 60 types of home and office devices, including video surveillance systems, NAS boxes, and office VPN servers. Affected devices include D-Link DIR-850L S, Cisco RV042, Araknis Networks AN-300-RT-4L2W, Linksys LRT224, and some QNAP devices. The attacks on these unfold a bit differently, but share the same general features: exploiting vulnerabilities, using built-in device functions to gain control, and maintaining stealth. According to the researchers assessments, compromised devices are being exploited to reroute traffic and monitor the attack techniques employed by rival threat actors. These attacks are attributed to a well-resourced and highly capable hacking group. However, similar techniques have been adopted by targeted attack groups around the world — which is why home routers in any moderately large country are now an enticing target for them. Takeaways and tips The attack on ASUS home routers displays classic signs of targeted intrusions: stealth, compromise without using malware, and the creation of persistent access channels that remain open even after the vulnerability is patched and the firmware is updated. So, what can a home user do to defend against such attackers? Your choice of router matters. Dont settle for the standard-issue router your provider rents out to you, and dont just shop for the cheapest option. Browse the selection at electronics retailers, and choose a model released within the last year or two so you can be sure to receive firmware updates for years to come. Try to pick a manufacturer that takes security seriously. This is tricky, as there are no perfect options out there. You can generally use the frequency of firmware updates and the manufacturers stated period of support as a guide. You can find the latest router security news on sites like Router Security, but dont expect to find any good tales there — its more useful for finding anti-heroes. Update your devices firmware regularly. If your router offers an automatic update feature, its best to enable it so you dont have to worry about manual updates or falling behind. Still, its a good idea to check your routers status, settings, and firmware version a few times a year. If you havent received a firmware update in 12-18 months, it may be time to consider replacing your router with a newer model. Disable all unnecessary services on your router. Go through all the settings and turn off any features or extras you dont use. Disable administrative access to your router from the internet (WAN) through all management channels (SSH, HTTPS, Telnet, and whatever else). Disable mobile router management apps. Although convenient, these apps introduce a range of new risks — in addition to your smartphone and router, a proprietary cloud service will likely be involved. For this reason, its best to disable this management method and avoid using it. Change the default passwords for both router administration and Wi-Fi access. These passwords shouldnt match. Each should be long and not consist of obvious words or numbers. If your router allows it, change the admin username to something unique. Use comprehensive protection for your home network. For example, Kaspersky Premium comes with a smart-home protection module that monitors for common problems like vulnerable devices and weak passwords. If your smart home monitoring detects weak spots or a new device on your network that you havent previously identified as known, it will alert you and provide recommendations for securing your network. Check every page of your routers configuration. Look for the following suspicious signs: (1) port forwarding to unknown devices on your home network or the internet, (2) new user accounts you didnt create, and (3) unfamiliar SSH keys or any other login credentials. If you find anything like this, search online for your router model combined with the suspicious information youve discovered, such as a username or port address. If you cant find any mention of the issue you discovered as a documented system feature of your router, remove that data.
