Astronomers operating the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope think they’ve found three gas clouds that formed in the aftermath of the very first stars, when the Big Bang was still in the rear-view mirror.
Researchers warn that attackers are relying more on malicious HTML files in their attacks, with malicious files now accounting for half of all HTML attachments sent via email. This rate of malicious HTML prevalence is double compared to what it was last year and doesn’t appear to be the result of mass attack campaigns that send the same attachment to a large number of people.
“When it comes to attack tactics and tools, the fact that something has been around for a while doesn’t appear to make it any less potent,” researchers from security firm Barracuda Networks said in a new report. “Malicious HTML is still being used by attackers because it works. Getting the right security in place is as important now as it has ever been, if not more so.”

SaaS-based security and compliance solution provider Vanta has launched a Vendor Risk Management (VRM) offering to help organizations streamline third-party vendor security reviews and due diligence.
The company claims that the new offering will automate vendor discovery, vendor assessment, and remediation workflows to significantly reduce the time and cost associated with third-party vendor risk reviews and management.
“Organizations are more reliant on third-party vendors than ever, with most companies using more than 100 SaaS vendors on average,” said Christina Cacioppo, CEO of Vanta. “The bulk of these vendors are adopted directly by employees, bypassing security reviews.”
