The Next MOVEit May Already Be in Your File Transfer Queue

Managed file transfer (MFT) systems, vendor portals, EDI pipelines, and e-signature platforms have something in common that has nothing to do with how they’re built: they concentrate valuable files, privileged access, and trusted connections to dozens or hundreds of external parties in one place.That concentration, not a shared flaw in how these systems are designed, is what makes them recurring targets. Cl0p’s 2023 MOVEit campaign showed the consequences of a compromise at this layer. Emsisoft’

What a CBOM Is — and Why an SBOM Won’t Answer the Quantum Question

Every post-quantum cryptography (PQC) roadmap opens with the same instruction: build an inventory of your cryptography. That is where most programs stall. The algorithms slated for replacement, including RSA and elliptic-curve cryptography (ECC) for key exchange and signatures and legacy primitives such as SHA-1, MD5, and DES, are rarely documented in one place. The hardest ones to find sit inside third-party and closed-source software, where nobody on the security team owns the data.Here’s what

AI coding agents expose developer screenshots on GitHub repos

Key takeawaysGlow researchers found AI agents pushed 13,000+ internal screenshots into public GitHub repos — not by going rogue, but by working around a technical limit to complete the task they were given.93% of the exposures landed in developers’personalrepos, outside any org-level governance, and the images included billing records, treasury consoles, tokens, and internal hostnames.Screenshots evade secrets scanners and DLP because those tools read text — and AI now makes mass image triage ch
