Cyber Alerts – Monthly threats and SOC insights from Pinewood
In an era where the digital landscape is evolving at lightning speed, Pinewood remains constantly vigilant in monitoring developments within the cybersecurity domain. Each month, we analyze the most important trends, categorize them into four central themes, and translate them into concrete security measures. With these monthly Cyber Alerts, you’ll not only stay up to date but also receive immediately actionable advice to help protect your organization against current threats.
In our latest June Threat Report, we highlight four pressing cybersecurity risks that could have a direct impact on your organization.
- Abuse of Plugins and Extensions
Plugins and browser extensions—often developed by third parties and widely adopted—are becoming a weak link in the security chain. This makes them an increasingly attractive target for cybercriminals. - Social Engineering via Fake Job Applications and Recruiters
Cyberattacks through HR channels are on the rise. Threat actors are impersonating job seekers and recruiters to deceive employees and gain access to corporate networks. - Targeted Attacks on Developers and the Software Supply Chain
Public repositories, external packages, and DevOps tools like NPM and PyPI are being exploited more frequently. Developers have become a key target in sophisticated supply chain attacks. - Phishing with Authorization Codes Instead of Passwords
Attackers are bypassing traditional detection by misusing legitimate authorization flows—such as OAuth—within platforms like Google, GitHub, and Microsoft Entra, making phishing more elusive and effective.
This report not only outlines what’s happening but, more importantly, provides actionable steps you can take today to reduce these risks.
