CERT.at: Review of the second third of 2021

In its report, CERT.at, an initiative of the domain registry nic.at, informs about incidents, projects as well as speeches of the second third of the year

Among other things, CERT.at reports that Microsoft in particular attracted attention in the second third of 2021: Not only did Microsoft have to deal with the aftermaths of ProxyLogon, an exploit chain for the e-mail server "Microsoft Exchange", but it also was made public that further attack possibilities were discovered with ProxyShell. In addition, a vulnerability in the Windows Printer Spool, named PrintNightmare, could only be insufficiently fixed over a long period. Apart from that, serious vulnerabilities in the mail server software exim were detected, an RCE in VMware vCenter was found and extortion via DDoS was attempted.

Additionally, CERT.at informs in its review about past presentations as well as the projects "MeliCERTes 2" and "Enhancing Cybersecurity in Austria".
