The Risk of Browser-Stored Passwords. Modern browsers make it convenient to save credentials, but this convenience comes with a cost. Unlike cloud-based password managers that encrypt and tightly control access to credentials, browsers store passwords locally in SQLite databases or credential vaults.
The seemingly unending work to detect the silent workings of malware is a constant and stark reminder of the stakes in modern incident response. In one recent Incident Response (IR) engagement, the Binalyze CERT (Customer Experience Response Team) uncovered a prolonged campaign involving the well-known malware family AsyncRAT.
At Binalyze we’re always actively monitoring for the latest exploits and attack vectors. We’re also in constant conversation with our customers, discussing threats in the wild and sharing best practice.
