What Vendors Don’t Show You: Hidden Loops, Fake Notices & Session Syncs
Stop Drowning In AI Information Overload
Your inbox is flooded with newsletters. Your feed is chaos. Somewhere in that noise are the insights that could transform your work—but who has time to find them?

Replace hours of scattered reading with five focused minutes. While others scramble to keep up, you'll stay ahead of developments that matter. 600,000+ professionals at top companies have already made this switch.
Attackers Are Spoofing Vendor Notification Emails
Threat actors are mimicking software update notices, invoice alerts, and partner dashboards—leveraging legitimate vendor branding to push malware or credential harvesters.
Verify all vendor alerts against DNS, SPF/DKIM headers, and internal contract data. Build allowlists of valid domains by vendor type.
Broken Webhooks Are Silently Failing Alerts
Security-critical systems tied to Slack, Teams, or Jira often rely on webhooks that aren’t monitored for failures—resulting in silent misses when messages break.
Add webhook health checks. Alert on delivery failures, and route critical flows through dual-path alerting to ensure visibility.
Dependency Confusion Is Still Exploitable in Enterprise CI
Despite wide awareness, internal package registries are still vulnerable to public dependency hijacks—especially in Python, Node, and container environments.
Block public registry pulls for private namespace packages. Enforce scoped registries and audit dependency trees regularly.
Email Auto-Forwarding to Ticket Systems Enables Recon
Some support systems (like Zendesk, Intercom, or Freshdesk) auto-forward internal replies—leaking escalation paths, tooling names, or customer details.
Apply forwarding limits, strip metadata, and redact sensitive headers from all outbound ticket responses.

Legacy SSO Connectors Don’t Enforce MFA In-App
Older SSO adapters or plugins often accept authentication tokens but fail to enforce MFA if users bypass the central login portal (e.g., direct app logins).
Update all SSO connectors to enforce MFA policies at the app level. Block token reuse outside intended login paths.
Browser Sync Across Devices Enables Session Hijack at Scale
If a corporate account is synced across personal and unmanaged devices, attackers only need one weak link to clone browser history, passwords, and active sessions.
Segment sync permissions by device trust. Re-authenticate when new device sync is detected and alert users of sync activity.
