Security Intelligence
💡 Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
SSRF attacks trick servers into making requests to internal resources that should not be publicly accessible. This can expose cloud metadata endpoints, internal APIs, and private network services, potentially leading to full infrastructure compromise.
💡 Business Email Compromise Tactics
BEC attacks use compromised or spoofed executive email accounts to request fraudulent wire transfers or sensitive data. These attacks cause billions in annual losses and rely on social engineering rather than technical exploitation.
