CVE-2025-0282

In this special edition of the Cybersecurity Snapshot, we bring you some of the most valuable guidance offered by the U.K. National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) in the past 18 months. Check out best practices, recommendations and insights on protecting your AI systems, APIs and mobile devices, as well as on how to prep for post-quantum cryptography, and more.In case you missed it, here are six NCSC recommendations to help your organization fine-tune its cybersecurity strategy and operations.1 - How to migrate to quantum-resistant cryptographyIs your organization planning to adopt cryptography that can resist attacks from future quantum computers? If so, you might want to check out the NCSC’s “Timelines for migration to post-quantum (PQC) cryptography,” a white paper aimed at helping organizations plan their migration to quantum-resistant cryptography.“Migration to PQC can be viewed as any large technology transition. In the guidance, we describe the key steps in such a transition, and illustrate some of the cryptography and PQC-specific elements required at each stage of the programme,” reads a companion blog. At a high-level, the NCSC proposes these three key milestones:By 2028Define the organization’s migration goals.Assess which services and infrastructure need to have their cryptography upgraded to PQC.Draft an initial migration plan that includes, for example, the highest priority migration steps; the necessary investment; and what you’ll need from your suppliers.By 2031Execute the first, most important PQC migration steps.Refine the PQC migration plan to ensure the roadmap will be fulfilled.Ensure your infrastructure is ready to support PQC.By 2035Complete your PQC migration.Organizations need to migrate to PQC because quantum computers will be able to decrypt data protected with today’s public-key cryptographic algorithms. These powerful quantum computers are expected to become generally available at some point between 2030 and 2040.The U.S. National...

Cybersecurity researchers are warning about a new malware called DslogdRAT that's installed following the exploitation of a now-patched security flaw in Ivanti Connect Secure (ICS). The malware, along with a web shell, were "installed by exploiting a zero-day vulnerability at that time, CVE-2025-0282, during attacks against organizations in Japan around December 2024," JPCERT/CC researcher Yuma
