🔥 Congratulations to @msegoviagil, our Researcher of the Month! 🏆
Recognized for discovering and exploiting a vulnerable API parameter that enabled unauthenticated file reads on a secure GitLab instance.
Well deserved! ⚡ #CyberSecurity #VDP
A suspicious file, phishing lure, malware sample, or intrusion artifact may hold the insight needed to protect other defense partners. DC3’s cyber-forensics mission helps turn evidence into action. #DC3 #CyberForensics
Know where your technical data lives. Know who can access it. Know which devices, applications, accounts, and vendors connect to your environment.
Brilliant at the basics begins with visibility.

A request for a harmless summary can turn into a request for nonpublic information. Watch for gradual changes in what a contact asks you to provide. #Cybersecurity #ReportTheFacts
A job offer can be more than a job offer. Foreign intelligence entities may pose as recruiters, consulting firms, think tanks, or companies to target people with government experience and access. Verify before you engage. #NationalDefense

As DoW CIO Hon. Davies stressed, using strong, unique passwords remains as one of the simplest, yet most effective frontline practices that help protect your accounts and the @DeptofWar.
Reusing passwords opens a security risk that can put all of your accounts at risk, and malicious actors know this. Stay alert for unexpected password-reset messages, account alerts, or login prompts. These messages may be attempts to get you to share credentials or click a malicious link.
Adopting just a few of these habits can make you Brilliant at the Basics.

Your account is a frontline defense.
Use unique passwords, store them in a password manager, and enable multifactor authentication.

Defend the Digital Frontline and Think Before You Click.
Social engineering remains one of the most persistent threats to the @DeptofWar and DIB. Cyber adversaries are smart and always looking to bypass security controls and gain access to networks.
Protecting these systems requires all of us to practice verification standards at every level. You should validate all unexpected communications before you open any link.
Read our latest guidance in the Brilliant of the Basics’ webpage to learn more on how you can bolster your defense-in-depth posture.
