E-skimming campaign uses Unicode obfuscation to hide the Mongolian Skimmer
- Jscrambler researchers uncovered a skimming campaign using unique JavaScript obfuscation with accented characters to hide a skimmer named Mongolian Skimmer.
- The attackers used unusual Unicode characters for variables and function names.
- The skimmer was named “Mongolian Skimmer” after researchers found it used the Unicode character “Mongolian Letter OE” as an identifier in the code.
- The Mongolian Skimmer employs common techniques such as DOM monitoring, data exfiltration, DevTools detection, and anti-debugging measures to evade detection and tampering.

How AWS uses active defense to help protect customers from security threats
- AWS uses internal threat intelligence tools like Sonaris to stay ahead of potential threats and protect customers quickly when activities could be potentially harmful to their business.
- Sonaris is an active defense tool that analyses potentially harmful network traffic and restricts threat actors who are hunting for exploitable vulnerabilities.
- Sonaris identifies and automatically restricts unauthorized scanning and S3 bucket discovery, reducing risk for AWS customers.
- Sonaris applies heuristic, statistical, and machine learning algorithms to vast amounts of summarized metadata and service health telemetry.
- Sonaris uses threat intelligence data from MadPot, which emulates hundreds of different services and mimics customer accounts, to increase its accuracy for automatically restricting known malicious vulnerability enumeration attacks.
- Sonaris has been effectively protecting customers from a large active botnet known as Dota3 that has been scanning the internet for vulnerable hosts and devices to install cryptominer malware.
- AWS is committed to making the internet a safer place for customers, and encourages feedback through comments, customer support, or preferred channels.
- As organizations continue to migrate to the cloud, AWS continuously invests and innovates in advancing its security capabilities to tackle emerging threats.
- Sonaris is an example of how AWS proactively mitigates potential threats to prevent security incidents from disrupting customers' businesses.

Risk, reward and reality: Has enterprise perception of the public cloud changed?
- According to 2024 Statista data, a majority of enterprises are using public clouds, indicating a shift in perception.
- Cloud providers are addressing security concerns; however, other concerning issues take place - such as managing cloud spend (82%) and lack of resources (79%).
- With the expansion of public cloud usage, the longer term problem for enterprises is doing more work with less repair and maintenance workforce.
- Artificial intelligence (AI) is opening new avenues for security compromise leading many companies to remain cautious about AI adoption.
- AI comes with a unique concern: if attackers could access shared resources, they could potentially cause inter-departmental chaos.
- While cloud-based threats made use of expanded attack surfaces, they remain fundamentally the same as their previous-generation counterparts: If tools didn’t work, it was back to the drawing board for malicious actors.
- More enterprises are adopting the public cloud, reporting improved security and fewer companies are citing security as the top cloud challenge.
- AI, similarly to cloud computing, has some overstated security concerns, as the market diversifies and standardisation becomes critical, companies can expect common security issues to be effectively resolved.
- AI has no limits, making it harder for enterprises to predict the course of its development over time, which is leading to a renewed focus on enterprise cybersecurity risk.
