Web Cache Deception Attacks are Still Around, Says New Research.Web Cache Deception attacks are still impacting many popular websites, says new research.Researchers noticed that 25 of the Alexa Top 5,000 websites were impacted by the Web Cache Deception attack.

We present CacheOut, a new speculative execution attack that is capable of leaking data from Intel CPUs across many security boundaries.We show that despite Intel's attempts to address previous generations of speculative execution attacks, CPUs are still vulnerable, allowing attackers to exploit these vulnerabilities to leak sensitive data.

The other versioning scheme, Last-Modified, suffers from the same issue: servers can store at least 32 bits of data within a well-formed date string, which will then be echoed back by the client through a request header known as If-Modified-Since.

The pair said they had found the 18GB of data spread across a variety of files saved on an unsecured server set up and run by Novaestrat - an Ecuadorean marketing and analytics company.

Now, researchers are warning that, in certain scenarios, attackers can abuse DDIO to obtain keystrokes and possibly other types of sensitive data that flow through the memory of vulnerable servers.

You can select other options, also, but then click: Clear Now. Firefox Clear Recent History Forbes TJ McCue. Screenshot Firefox Clear All History TJ McCue ForbesThis usually solves the problem and images start to load again.

If you are not taking these monthly security updates, then force a full sync on your machines monthly by running these two commands as System (via Configuration Manager or other management system): -m: -f:DoCensusRun -m: -f:DoScheduledTelemetryRun ent Deploying and running the UR Script monthly also helps you understand the population of devices which are running stale versions of appraiser components.

The fact that it is possible to achieve certain persistency in browsers cache, by injecting poisoned entries, can be abused by an attacker to disclose real IP address of the Tor users that send non-TLS HTTP traffic through malicious exit nodes.

As of ITP 2.1, partitioned cookies are no longer supported and third-parties classified with cross-site tracking capabilities now have to use the Storage Access API to get any cookie access. When a partitioned cache entry is created for a domain that’s classified by ITP as having cross-site tracking capabilities, the entry gets flagged for verification.

Luckily it’s very easy to remove your cache, cookies and web history in Firefox simply by following these steps: However, Firefox can be configured to clear cache, cookies and history on closing through the privacy and security settings.

Parliament has used its legal powers to seize internal Facebook documents in an extraordinary attempt to hold the US social media giant to account after chief executive Mark Zuckerberg repeatedly refused to answer MPs’ questions.

It's thus not as serious as a remote attack technique that allows the execution of arbitrary code or exposes kernel memory, but Oren and Yarom speculate that there may be ways their browser fingerprinting method could be adapted to compromise computing secrets like encryption keys or vulnerable installed software.

Microsoft’s Patch Tuesday for August includes an update that fixes Foreshadow and Foreshadow-NG (aka L1 Terminal Fault or L1TF), security flaws affecting the speculative execution feature of Intel CPUs, similar to the Spectre and Meltdown vulnerabilities.

We found suspected NSO Pegasus infections associated with 33 of the 36 Pegasus operators we identified in 45 countries: Algeria, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Brazil, Canada, Cote d’Ivoire, Egypt, France, Greece, India, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kenya, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lebanon, Libya, Mexico, Morocco, the Netherlands, Oman, Pakistan, Palestine, Poland, Qatar, Rwanda, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, South Africa, Switzerland, Tajikistan, Thailand, Togo, Tunisia, Turkey, the UAE, Uganda, the United Kingdom, the United States, Uzbekistan, Yemen, and Zambia.

The main goal of this article though is to add a new point of controversy, one hardly discussed. AMP has been created completely outside of W3C and WHATWG, the main standard bodies for the web.
