Dear Team ,
Hope this email finds you well , Please be informed that i found a Major
Security vulnerability in the Main Cisco Web Site https://www.cisco.com/
*Introduction*
The vulnerability allows a remote hacker to force Victim`s browser to send
reset password for their accounts and then the Hacker will be able to take
the ownership of this account.
———————-
*Description and Steps To reproduce the issue *
1-Go to Main Cisco…
You might be surprised to know that your security cameras, Internet-connected toasters and refrigerators may have inadvertently participated in the massive cyber attack that broke a large portion of the Internet on Friday.
That’s due to massive Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks against Dyn, a major domain name system (DNS) provider that many sites and services use as their upstream
Is it time for internet of thing (IoT) devices to get a ‘Good Housekeeping’ seal of approval?

The US-CERT Cyber Security Bulletin provides a summary of new vulnerabilities that have been recorded by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) National Vulnerability Database (NVD) in the past week. The NVD is sponsored by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC) / United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT). For modified or updated entries, please visit the NVD, which contains historical vulnerability information.
The vulnerabilities are based on the CVE vulnerability naming standard and are organized according to severity, determined by the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) standard. The division of high, medium, and low severities correspond to the following scores:
High – Vulnerabilities will be labeled High severity if they have a CVSS base score of 7.0 – 10.0
Medium – Vulnerabilities will be labeled Medium severity if they have a CVSS base score of 4.0 – 6.9
Low – Vulnerabilities will be labeled Low severity if they have a CVSS base score of 0.0 – 3.9
Entries may include additional information provided by organizations and efforts sponsored by US-CERT. This information may include identifying information, values, definitions, and related links. Patch information is provided when available. Please note that some of the information in the bulletins is compiled from external, open source reports and is not a direct result of US-CERT analysis.
