Microsoft Account Verification Scam

Today I received an email allegedly from Microsoft. They wanted me to click on a link to confirm mi info.

DO NOT CLICK ON IT!!       ALWAYS ALWAYS Click on the sender email address to confirm the sender. If it looks or feels illegitimate don't click on it.

It is a phishing attack.

HOW TO BLOCK NAT SLIPSTREAMING ON PALO ALTO FIREWALLS

  Update: 02/10/2021 If you are using threat DB version 8373-6537, the default action now is reset-server. The main objective of Cybersecurity professionals, is to reduce the attack surface, on network connected devices (computers, IoT, hvac, smart UPSs, smart power strips, etc.). Cybersecurity professionals often assume that devices that have no internet connectivity will never be compromised by a hacker. The NAT slipstreaming cyberattack proves this wrong. “ NAT Slipstreaming allows an attacker to remotely access ANY TCP/UDP service bound to ANY system behind a victim’s NAT, bypassing the victim’s NAT/firewall (remote arbitrary firewall pinhole control),  all it takes is the victim’s computer to visit the attacker’s website”. Once the victim’s computer visits the website, the attacker’s servers start to scan your network to identify the network connected devices. If your devices have not been patched to mitigate vulnerabilities, the attackers will exploit these to take control over

EASIEST WAY TO BUILD SECURITY GROUP RULES AND ROUTE ENTRIES IN AWS

  Adding IP prefixes to security group rules and route entries can be a time consuming and error prone task, especially when you have to build them on multiple VPCs. The fastest and most accurate method to reuse IP prefixes in your Security groups and route table entries is to use “Managed Prefix List“. This will save you time to build your security group rules and your route table entries. When you build several security group, you have to specify the IP prefixes on EVERY Security group rule . If you have a rule with 10 or more IP prefixes you need to add them manually; it becomes a time consuming and error prone task. Even if you automate this process (eg. Terraform, CloudFormation) you still have to build your code for each security group for every VPC. Another advantage is when you use the “managed prefix list” When you build Route tables you need to specify IP prefixes. You may have multiple IP prefixes, this can also be a time consuming and error prone task.  You will have to add
