Historic Great Firewall Breach – 500GB+ Censorship Data Exposed

Historic Great Firewall Breach – 500GB+ Censorship Data Exposed

Historic Great Firewall Breach, a massive data leak of over 500 gigabytes that exposed the internal technical infrastructure and operational details of China's extensive internet censorship and surveillance system. The text explains that this breach provides an unprecedented opportunity for technicians and security researchers to understand how technologies like Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) and VPN detection operate, ultimately aiding in the development of anti-censorship and digital freedom tools. Furthermore, the article highlights the global ramifications of the leak, noting that China's censorship model is being exported as "Censorship-as-a-Service" to other authoritarian regimes. Finally, the text promotes Technijian, a cybersecurity and IT services provider, as an essential partner in helping organizations conduct forensic analysis and implement robust security measures informed by the lessons of the breach. ...

Sophisticated NPM Attack

Sophisticated NPM Attack: Cross-Platform Infostealer Targets Developer Systems

A highly sophisticated supply chain attack that infiltrated the npm registry using ten malicious packages, exposing thousands of developers to credential theft. This attack was successful due to typosquatting and the use of a four-layer code obfuscation strategy that bypassed traditional security tools for nearly four months. The cross-platform infostealer targeted Windows, Linux, and macOS systems to harvest critical developer credentials, including SSH keys, API tokens, browser cookies, and system passwords, posing a severe risk to corporate infrastructure. The text concludes by outlining immediate remediation steps and promoting Technijian's comprehensive security services designed to protect development environments against such complex supply chain threats and assist with incident response. ...

Patch Tuesday Simplified: Automating Windows

Patch Tuesday Simplified: Automating Windows & Third-Party Updates with Endpoint Central

An extensive analysis detailing how manual patch management processes are a primary vulnerability exploited by ransomware operators, leading to significant financial losses and operational downtime for organizations. It emphasizes that unpatched third-party applications and operating systems create a critical window between patch release and deployment, which attackers actively utilize, often within 15 to 30 days. The text strongly advocates for implementing automated patch management solutions, specifically highlighting ManageEngine Endpoint Central, to rapidly close these vulnerability gaps, improve compliance, and free up IT resources consumed by tedious manual work. Ultimately, the document serves as a comprehensive guide outlining the risks of slow patching and offering a strategic playbook for adopting automated solutions to achieve a more secure and compliant security posture. ...

Zimbra Zero Day Exploitation Alert

Zimbra Zero-Day Exploitation: What Organizations Need to Know

A recently discovered cyberattack campaign that exploited a zero-day vulnerability (CVE-2025-27915) in the Zimbra Collaboration Suite through malicious calendar invitation files (.ICS). The core exploit was a cross-site scripting flaw that allowed attackers to embed and execute sophisticated JavaScript payloads, primarily to steal user credentials and exfiltrate sensitive email data by establishing unauthorized forwarding rules. While attribution is challenging, the attack targeting a Brazilian military organization and the use of sophisticated tactics suggest potential state-sponsored espionage activity. The documents emphasize that organizations must immediately apply patches, review account filters for persistence, and implement enhanced network monitoring to detect the large, encoded calendar attachments used in the campaign. The second source introduces Technijian, an IT services provider, as a resource that offers security assessments and incident response to help businesses protect against such advanced threats, particularly in the Southern California region. ...

Malicious Postmark MCP Package Attack

The Silent Email Theft: How a Malicious Postmark MCP Package Compromised Thousands of Users

A sophisticated supply chain attack involving a malicious package on the npm registry, which mimicked the legitimate Postmark MCP server to silently steal user email communications for about a week. The initial text explains how the package established trust through numerous clean versions before introducing a single line of code in version 1.0.16 to exfiltrate sensitive data, including authentication credentials and financial communications. Furthermore, the documents outline the scope of the data compromise, potential warning signs developers should have noticed, and comprehensive prevention strategies like rigorous code review and dependency monitoring. Finally, the text introduces Technijian, a managed IT services provider, which uses this incident as a case study to market its security auditing and incident response services to businesses across Southern California. ...
