This has included Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro’s claim that scientists had “proved” there was a coronavirus cure and content from former broadcaster and conspiracy theorist David Icke, who suggested both that 5G mobile phone networks are linked to the spread of the virus and that a Jewish group was behind the virus. He also said that Facebook had removed content from groups claiming that the rollout of the 5G digital…

Cofence has discovered an attack that bypasses MFA to nab Microsoft 365 credentials. Researchers at Cofense Phishing Defense Center discovered the tactic, which leverages the OAuth2 framework and OpenID Connect (OIDC) protocol and uses a malicious SharePoint link to trick users into granting permissions to a rogue application, researcher Elmer Hernandez wrote in a blog post published Tuesday.
Academic researchers have uncovered security vulnerabilities in Bluetooth Classic that allows attackers to spoof paired devices: They found that the bugs allow an attacker to insert a rogue device into an established Bluetooth pairing, masquerading as a trusted endpoint. This allows attackers to capture sensitive data from the other device. The bugs allow Bluetooth Impersonation Attacks (BIAS) on everything from internet of things (IoT) gadgets to phones to laptops, according to researchers at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in France. The flaws are not yet patched in the specification, though some affected vendors may have implemented workarounds.
