StormEncryptor Hits N-able Bug: 50% Unpatched [2026] | #hacking | #cybersecurity | #infosec | #comptia | #pentest | #ransomware
A China-linked hacking crew tracked as Storm-1175 has walked away from Medusa, the ransomware-as-a-service strain it rode for years, and started deploying a new, privately built encryptor called StormEncryptor. The switch surfaced on August 2, 2026, the same day a critical authentication-bypass flaw in N-able’s N-central remote monitoring and management console, tracked as CVE-2026-18577, went public.
Skimming Credentials with Azure's Front Door WAF
A Web Application Firewall (WAF) is a powerful thing. It inspects all traffic that traverses it, seeing everything that is submitted to a page. EVERYTHING. Today we’ll demonstrate how an attacker could use access to the Front Door WAF in Azure and Log Analytics to skim credentials from a site that the WAF is protecting. By creating a custom rule to match logon events, we can capture both usernames and passwords in cleartext as they make their way through the WAF.
Routing options for VMs without Default Outbound Internet Access (from Private Subnets)
Virtual Machines deployed in Azure used to haveDefault Outbound Internet Access. Until today, this allows virtual machines to connect to resources on the internet (including public endpoints of Azure PaaS services) even if the Cloud administrators have not configured any outbound connectivity method for their virtual machines explicitly. Implicitly, Azure's network stack performed source network address translation (SNAT) with a public IP address that was provided by the platform.

Built atop Kubernetes, Azure Container Apps is a fully managed Platform-as-a-Service that empowers Azure container workloads to focus on the business value they provide, not be mired in infrastructure management.
Plotting
It is quite a common requirement when working with API gateways (such asAzure API Management) to understand how many users are actively accessing your applications in the backend. However, the solution for that is not the same for everyone. For instance, a metric exposed out-of-the-box is the total number of HTTP requests... but that doesn't tell us how many unique users we have. Normally, an application running in the client devices generates multiple HTTP requests towards the backend. So...
Automatically Enable LTR and PITR Policy upon a Database creation on Azure SQL Managed Instance
Introduction For any database created via Azure Portal, SSMS, ADS or via some automated scripting as a part of company's business requirements, it is frequently seen in large enterprises that there is a need to have a custom LTR (Long-Term Retention) and PITR (Point-in time Restore) policies to be enforced.

Scaling ASP.NET Core Apps on Azure
Read in English Read in English Feedback Edit Twitter LinkedIn Facebook Email Article 09/23/2022 14 minutes to read In this article Apps deployed to Azure that experience intermittent high demand benefit from scalability to meet demand. Scalable apps can scale out to ensure capacity during workload peaks and then scale down automatically when the peak drops, which can lower costs. Horizontal scaling (scaling out) adds new instances of a resource, such as VMs or database replicas.
Query Azure AD logs with KQL from Powershell
KQL, short for Kusto Query Language, is really great for quering data sets like Sign-in Logs and Audit Logs in Azure AD. KQL is what Microsoft Sentinel uses under the hood for discovering threats, detections and anomalies in larger data sets. But you can also use it to retrieve simpler log entries like: Who deleted a specific user. How often is a user elevating into an Azure AD administrative role in PIM. When was a user added to or removed from a specific Azure AD security group.
