Wiz Research: “Simple Developer Mistake Could Have Led to Bing.com Takeover”

Wiz Research has identified a new attack vector in Azure Active Directory (AAD) that compromised Microsoft’s Bing.com. The attack vector is based on a common AAD misconfiguration, exposing misconfigured apps to unauthorized access. The researchers found several Microsoft applications vulnerable to this attack, one of which was a Content Management System (CMS) that powers Bing.com. This allowed them to take over Bing.com functionality, modify search results, and potentially enable the Office 365 credential theft of millions of Bing users. These credentials in turn granted access to users’ private emails and documents. Wiz Research named this attack “#BingBang.” The exploitation of the vulnerability was simple and didn’t require a single line of code.

Three Reasons Cybersecurity is Struggling with Network Visibility

For the better half of a decade, SecOps has been focused on the SOC visibility triad, the ideal of obtaining visibility into logs, endpoints, and the network with a variety of specialized solutions. Unfortunately, traditional network security solutions, such as network detection and response (NDR), have been unable to keep pace with digital transformation trends, such as cloud migration. The slow and steady adoption of the cloud, combined with the sudden and irrevocable shift to enable work from anywhere, has atomized the network.

Cybersecurity Training: From Money Pit to Modernity

When it comes to making informed, evidence-based decisions, proof should be a non-negotiable element. From court cases to professional sports teams to governing policies, to scientific studies, the proof is the grounding force that dictates the reality of our modern world. In business settings, in particular, professionals’ efficiency and productivity has to be proven. Given this acceptance of proof as a necessary indicator of capability and an explicit jumping-off point to inspire drastic organizational change, it is strange that there is a notable lack of a consistent, enforced element of proof in the cybersecurity industry. With the costs of cyber-attacks rising exponentially, on average exceeding well over a million dollars, organizations can no longer ignore this lack of provability regarding workforce cyber resilience. Often, if you ask cyber leaders how to prove that their staff is ready to deal with a cyber-attack, many will say they’ve done their cyber training. But it’s worth considering if simply clicking through a video and/or sitting through a days-long traditional training session is really evidence of preparedness for the next attack.
