Fake File Attachments Are Being Used to Trigger Malware Downloads
Threat actors are sending emails with harmless-looking attachments (e.g., PDF icons) that are actually embedded scripts or disguised downloaders.
Train users on file behavior, not just file types. Disable auto-preview in email clients and flag attachment icons that don’t match actual MIME types.
Obsolete Cloud Assets Are Still Accepting Requests
Old staging servers, misconfigured demo instances, and expired partner environments still respond to web traffic, exposing internal APIs, login portals, or outdated codebases.
Map every public DNS entry. Auto-disable stale services, and alert on external requests to non-primary assets.
Desktop Search Indexes Are Leaking Sensitive Snippets
Tools like Windows Search and macOS Spotlight index internal chat logs, credentials, and app content—making it retrievable without app permissions.
Limit indexing scope on managed devices. Use DLP to flag stored credentials and scan desktop search logs during incident review.
URL Shorteners in Chat Are Breaking Audit Trails
Shortened URLs posted in Slack, Teams, or Discord often redirect through unlogged paths—breaking traceability in access reviews.
Auto-expand shortened links in messages. Add redirect logs to chat DLP systems and block repeated use of non-org shorteners.

Touchscreens in meeting rooms often cache browser sessions, file previews, or call summaries—persisting across meetings.
Auto-wipe all smart display sessions hourly. Rotate device passcodes and run asset-based visibility checks for shared hardware.
Security Teams Are Shadowing Their Own Playbooks
During incidents, analysts often deviate from official procedures (e.g., using personal devices, unsecured chat tools) to “move faster”—introducing undocumented actions.
Review incidents for off-book behavior. Create structured escalation channels with rapid-response tools that don’t sacrifice logging.
