In today’s episode, we discuss the emerging threat of Cross-IdP impersonation, a method enabling attackers to hijack single sign-on (SSO) processes without compromising primary identity providers. We also cover the recent disruption of the Ngioweb botnet, a major player in supplying residential proxies, and the alarming findings from a federal probe into vulnerabilities in U.S. water systems. Finally, we look at Microsoft’s new recovery tool that allows administrators to remotely fix unbootable Windows 11 devices, highlighting the need for improved security measures in software infrastructure.
