The platform connects to each supported vendor and reverse engineers live configurations into Terraform HCL code. It then creates versioned snapshots on a daily basis. The workflow has three phases. First, the platform performs a full asset inventory after connecting a vendor. Second, it identifies which resources have no code coverage and flags them for the operator. Third, it enables daily configuration snapshots so teams have a known-good state to recover from. “The way to back up your configuration is with infrastructure as code,” Twizer explained. “We specifically do…
A coordinated campaign targeting software developers with job-themed lures is using malicious repositories posing as legitimate Next.js projects and technical assessment materials, including recruiting coding tests.

The report also highlights the continuing success of infostealer credential theft, pointing to the discovery of 300,000 ChatGPT credentials on the dark web (almost certainly stolen by infostealers). Clearly, more effective access control is required at the base. But the entire threat ecosystem is being complicated by the complexity of artificial intelligence, which is being used as a…
