MCP for AWS Security Engineers: Build a Read-Only Security Hub Triage Agent For AWS-heavy security work, I would start with AWS Agent Toolkit for AWS and the managed AWS MCP Server , not a custom MCP server. The reason is practical. AWS now provides a managed MCP path that can connect AI coding agents to AWS documentation, AWS APIs, AWS skills, and existing IAM credentials. The Agent Toolkit also provides plugin-based setup for supported agents such as Claude Code and Codex. For security teams, that is the right starting point because the enforcement point remains AWS IAM, not the model. The initial operating model should be strict: Read-only first. No production write authority. No access to secrets. No raw customer PII or sensitive incident logs in prompt context. No automatic remediation. No AI-approved suppression, exception, merge, deploy, or risk acceptance. Human review and CI/CD remain the release authority. That is the same posture I would use for a governed Claude Code or Codex rollout: named identities, SSO, scoped credentials, default deny, tool approval, audit logs, and security evidence tied back to tickets, pull requests, CI logs, and cloud findings. What we are building This article walks through a practical security workflow: A read-only Security Hub triage assistant that helps a junior security engineer produce a daily or weekly findings summary, remediation backlog, and evidence pack without allowing the agent to modify AWS. The agent will be able to: Read AWS Security Hub findings. Group findings by account, severity, product, resource, and control. Explain why a finding matters. Draft remediation tickets. Draft a Slack-ready summary. Produce local markdown, CSV, and JSON evidence files. The agent will not be able to: Suppress findings. Archive findings. Mark findings resolved. Disable Security Hub standards. Modify IAM, S3, EC2, KMS, GuardDuty, Inspector, or Config. Deploy remediation. Run destructive scripts. Approve risk acceptance. This is no

Telegram CEO Pavel Durov confirmed an outage in a tweet, saying that shortlinks to the messaging app had "stopped working."

Apple would not comment on the "security breach," which allegedly allowed a former employee to download sensitive files from Apple's network long after he departed the company for rival OpenAI.

The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has issued a postmortem on a data leak in which a contractor published dozens of internal CISA credentials -- including AWS Govcloud keys -- in a public GitHub repository for almost six months before being notified by KrebsOnSecurity. Experts say the gaps identified in the agency's initial response provide important lessons that all security teams should absorb.

If you have ever logged into a corporate computer, searched for a colleague in your company’s email directory, or used a single set of credentials to access dozens of different internal applications, you have likely interacted with LDAP . Standing for Lightweight Directory Access Protocol , LDAP is an open, vendor-neutral, industry-standard application protocol for accessing and maintaining distributed directory information services over an IP network. In simpler terms, it is the underlying language that allows different systems and applications to communicate with a central directory to find information about users, devices, and permissions. Think of LDAP as a highly organized, digital phonebook. When an application needs to know if "John Doe" is a valid user and what his password is, it uses LDAP to ask the phonebook. How LDAP Organizes Data Unlike traditional relational databases (like SQL) that store data in tables, LDAP stores data in a hierarchical, tree-like structure known as the Directory Information Tree (DIT) . This makes it incredibly fast at reading and searching for information, which is exactly what an authentication system needs to do millions of times a day. Here are the core components of this structure: Root: The top level of the directory tree, usually representing the organization (e.g., dc=example, dc=com ). Branches (Organizational Units - OU): Categories or departments within the organization (e.g., ou=Marketing , ou=Servers ). Leaves (Entries): The actual objects being stored, such as a specific user, printer, or computer. Attributes: The specific pieces of data tied to an entry. For a user entry, attributes might include givenName (first name), mail (email address), and userPassword . Every entry in an LDAP directory has a unique identifier called a Distinguished Name (DN) . It acts like an absolute file path. For example, John Doe’s DN might look like this: cn=John Doe, ou=Marketing, dc=example, dc=com How Applications Talk to LDAP When an

No hacking — a passive scan only looks at what your browser already downloads when it opens a page. Here's what I found: 6 of 15 load their Supabase database directly client-side. The public API key sits in the page source. That's fine if Row-Level Security is configured right — but it's one wrong setting away from "anyone can read the whole table." 14 of 15 ship no Content-Security-Policy — a simple, high-value hardening against script injection, almost always missing. Is this theoretical? No. Two apps I audited with the owner's permission: A social app: the profiles table — user names, cities, and a password hash — readable by a logged-out stranger. Closed in an afternoon. A paid learning app: 155 paid study sheets and 4,872 answers were readable by anyone, with no account and no subscription — its entire paid catalogue, a single API call away. The paywall lived only in the front-end; the database served everything to everyone. Loading Supabase in the browser isn't the mistake. Not enforcing access in the database (RLS) is. And the tools you build with won't tell you — they'll happily ship it. If you built something on Lovable / Bolt / Replit with real users (or paying ones), it's worth 60 seconds to check what a stranger can already see. I made a free tool that runs the surface check (passive, no signup): sealdy.dev Happy to answer questions on how RLS leaks happen and how to lock them down.

For years, scam prevention has relied on a familiar instruction: educate people so they can recognise danger before they act. Public campaigns warn consumers not to click unexpected links, disclose security codes, transfer money under pressure, or trust unsolicited contact. This advice remains useful, but it places too much defensive responsibility at the final point in a long scam chain. The Australian Scams Prevention Framework, or SPF, reflects a more demanding view. The framework requires selected service providers to take action against scams connected with or using their services. Its governing logic extends across prevention, detection, reporting, disruption, response, governance and intelligence sharing.[1][2] Australia has therefore moved beyond a model in which awareness is treated as the primary control. The emerging standard is an operational system in which institutions must identify scam activity, convert reports into usable intelligence, intervene against infrastructure, assist affected consumers and learn from recurring campaigns. This distinction is important. Awareness changes what a person knows. Operational scam defence changes what a scammer can do. Awareness Operates at the Last Defensible Moment Most awareness controls activate immediately before the victim acts. A warning appears before a transfer, a browser displays a suspicious-site alert, or a public campaign advises the consumer to pause and verify. By that stage, however, the scam may already have passed through several successful phases: The victim has been reached through SMS, email, social media, a search advertisement, a phone call or a marketplace conversation. A trusted brand, institution, employer, government agency or personal identity has been impersonated. The scammer has created urgency, authority, fear, opportunity or emotional dependency. The victim has been moved to a website, app, private chat or phone conversation. Payment, credential, identity or access pressure has begu

OpenBSD Privilege Escalation, GitHub AI Agent Leaks, & CDN Supply Chain Risks Today's Highlights This week's top security news features a critical use-after-free vulnerability in OpenBSD, a novel prompt injection attack leading to private repo leaks from GitHub's AI agent, and an unusual case of obfuscated bash scripts delivered via a CDN on consumer products. OpenBSD has a use-after-free allowing local privilege escalation to root (Hacker News) Source: https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/cve-2026-57589 A newly disclosed vulnerability, CVE-2026-57589, impacts OpenBSD, a renowned security-focused operating system. The vulnerability is identified as a use-after-free (UAF) flaw, which typically occurs when a program attempts to use memory after it has been freed, often leading to crashes or arbitrary code execution. In this specific case, the UAF bug allows for local privilege escalation to root. This type of vulnerability is particularly critical for operating systems, as it can enable an unprivileged attacker with local access to gain complete control over the system. System administrators and users of OpenBSD are advised to monitor official channels for patches and apply them immediately to mitigate the risk of compromise. Understanding the underlying cause of such UAFs is crucial for developing more robust memory management practices and identifying similar vulnerabilities in other systems. Comment: This is a critical reminder for OpenBSD admins to patch immediately, as use-after-free exploits are a classic, dangerous route to full system compromise from local access.
