Silent Ransom Group “Call-back” Phishing Campaign https://zurl.co/dOaEQ Arctic Wolf has observed an uptick in activity from the Silent Ransom Group, a cybercriminal group first identified in 2020 and notorious for its targeted cyber extortion campaigns driven by financial gain. This week, the group has been targeting the legal industry using “call-back” phishing tactics. The group sends emails impersonating services such as Duolingo or Masterclass, claiming a pending charge and urging recipients to call a phone number to resolve the issue. Arctic Wolf has also observed similar targeting across various other industries. Once contact is made, the threat actors social engineer victims into installing remote desktop software such as Zoho Assist or AnyDesk, giving them full control of the system. The threat actors then exfiltrate sensitive data to private servers (often hosted on platforms like Hostwinds) and extort the victim by threatening to leak or sell the stolen data unless a ransom is paid. Arctic Wolf recommends restricting outbound SFTP traffic (port 22) to limit the risk of data exfiltration. In this campaign, the Silent Ransom Group leveraged SFTP with tools such as WinSCP to exfiltrate data. By restricting outbound SFTP traffic, organizations can reduce the potential for unauthorized data transfer and mitigate the impact of such attacks. Silent Ransom Group affiliates have successfully socially engineered victims through phone calls and emails during this ongoing campaign. Arctic Wolf strongly recommends implementing comprehensive security awareness training to equip users with the skills needed to quickly identify and report suspicious activity, including the tactics observed in this campaign. Arctic Wolf offers several vishing-focused modules within its Managed Security Awareness (MSA) product to help users recognize and respond to the types of threats outlined in this bulletin. #GNetSolutionsInc #ArcticWolf Arctic Wolf G-Net Solutions, Inc.

Kubernetes IngressNightmare Vulnerabilities: What You Need to Know https://zurl.co/2IhX8 CrowdStrike is committed to protecting our customers from the latest disclosed vulnerabilities. We are actively monitoring activity surrounding “IngressNightmare,” the name given to recently identified vulnerabilities in the Kubernetes (K8s) ingress-nginx controller. On March 24, 2025, security researchers1 disclosed several new vulnerabilities in ingress-nginx, a highly popular Kubernetes ingress controller used in many large Kubernetes deployments. The nature of ingress controllers’ purpose, which is to accept and handle incoming connections and traffic, dramatically increases the chances of exposure to exploitation. The IngressNightmare suite of vulnerabilities gives attackers the ability to ultimately take over a cluster through uploading and loading of a malicious library into the ingress-nginx admission controller process. CrowdStrike customers may leverage the provided dashboard, rule templates, or Advanced Event Search queries to identify vulnerable K8s clusters and any exploitation attempt within their organization and take appropriate actions toward remediation. Due to the potential impact of these vulnerabilities, customers are encouraged to follow these recommendations to secure their environment(s): Patch all affected instances of K8s (versions 1.12.0, 1.11.0 through 1.11.4, and all versions prior to 1.11.0) as quickly as possible Removing the ValidatingWebhook, or otherwise making it not publicly available, can be used as a stopgap until patching is possible Leverage the provided CrowdStrike dashboard, rule templates, or queries for continued monitoring of your environment. #GNetSolutionsInc #CrowdStrike G-Net Solutions, Inc.

Does Identity security play a role in SASE? https://zurl.co/hfQrh In Verizon’s Data Breach Investigations Report, the use of stolen credentials accounted for 24% of total breaches, topping the list. The tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by threat actors are constantly evolving, with AI-generated phishing and deepfake-based social engineering enhancing the sophistication of attacks. Organizations need to be able to adapt their security posture to stay ahead of such evolving threats. Security and networking teams increasingly face security challenges when securing hybrid, on-prem and cloud environments, making it essential to integrate identity-first security controls in their SASE deployments as the gatekeeper. SASE brings identity into the infrastructure by enforcing identity-aware policies at every point of access—whether at the branch, in the cloud, or for remote users. By integrating identity into the fabric of security, SASE ensures that access decisions can be based on user identity, device posture, and contextual factors or combination rather than relying solely on network location. SASE combined with identity security across all enforcement points strengthens Zero Trust principles by dynamically adjusting permissions based on real-time risk assessments. Over the years, our customers have converged identity security and SASE to strengthen their security posture and implement defense in depth. Many initially struggled to implement a cohesive network access and security approach that adequately addressed both network and identity threats. Through these experiences, best practices have emerged that help our customers secure access, reduce attack surfaces, and enhance security resilience. A multi-layered approach combining Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) with Zero Trust, and behavioral analytics ensures real-time threat detection, dynamic access controls, and proactive identity protection. By embedding security at every access point and continuously assessing risk, you can reduce exposure to credential-based attacks, unauthorized access, and lateral movement. #GNetSolutionsInc #VersaNetworks G-Net Solutions, Inc.

The Future of VDI Monitoring: From Infrastructure to Intelligence https://zurl.co/HXBee As organizations continue their digital transformation and embrace hybrid work, Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) monitoring has become essential for ensuring secure, scalable, and cost-efficient remote access to applications and desktops. Despite its benefits, many VDI deployments still fail to deliver the seamless performance employees expect. IT teams often encounter slow logins, session lag, and application crashes, yet they lack the real-time visibility needed to diagnose and resolve these issues. Many IT teams still rely on traditional, infrastructure-centric VDI monitoring tools to assess system health. These solutions primarily track server uptime, network bandwidth, and CPU utilization—important factors, but ones that fail to capture the real user experience. To deliver high-performance digital experiences, organizations need monitoring that goes beyond infrastructure. AI-powered observability solutions offer real-time visibility into session health, application responsiveness, and network conditions—providing the full context needed to understand and resolve performance issues. With AI-driven optimization, IT teams can detect and prevent performance slowdowns before they impact users. Intelligent automation can help dynamically balance session loads and allocate resources more effectively, reducing infrastructure costs while improving performance. Ultimately, the goal is to move from reactive troubleshooting to proactive performance management. Aternity empowers IT teams to: -Pinpoint user-specific issues in multi-session environments, including session lag, login delays, application failures, and network disruptions -Automate session density balancing and resource allocation to reduce infrastructure costs and improve performance -Prevent disruptions before they impact productivity, lowering IT workload and support costs -Deliver end-to-end observability across endpoints, virtual desktops, and applications for a complete view of the digital experience With Riverbed Aternity’s VDI intelligence, organizations no longer compromise between control and user experience. #GNetSolutionsInc #RiverbedTechnology G-Net Solutions, Inc.

More Observability, More Opportunity: Ten Steps to Banking Tech Success https://zurl.co/9BI6b Since the mid-2000s, we’ve seen profound transformation in banking–from the establishment of FinTech and the emergence of crypto assets, blockchains and programmable Web3 over the last decade to the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) more recently. In fact, it’s estimated that AI could contribute up to $4 trillion to GDP growth over the next several years. By partnering with an AI observability leader and implementing their platform to monitor your data (that’s all the previous steps sorted), you can begin to establish that ‘normal’, discover the experiences of your employees and customers, and make improvements – all based on fact, rather than your best guesswork. The best platforms in the market will even have integrated tools, powered by AI and machine learning, that automate those improvements. By automatically performing tasks like cutting complexity by creating logical shortcuts; addressing lower-level service desk issues; and fixing bugs; organizations can boost employee productivity and fine-tune apps. So, when new functionality does go live, it makes superior experiences for everyone. By gaining insight into what resources you have, which you actually use, where you need more and how often they truly need updating or upgrading, you can make smarter choices, working more efficiently, and cost-effectively. With all the data you are monitoring, AI can be used not only to see what’s going on today, but also to model what might happen tomorrow, and how you can stay on top of it. Let’s say, for example, customers regularly visit your banking app on payday to spend, save and invest their cash. You can predict this pattern, allocating additional bandwidth towards the end of the month so network performance stays smooth. #GNetSolutionsInc #RiverbedTechnology G-Net Solutions, Inc.
