Kubernetes instances found exposed online SEC ARTIC .V2

 

Over 900,000 Kubernetes instances were found exposed online

                     


Over 900,000 misconfigured Kubernetes clusters were found exposed on the internet to potentially malicious scans, some even vulnerable to data-exposing cyberattacks.

Kubernetes is a highly versatile open-source container orchestration system for hosting online services and managing containerized workloads via a uniform API interface.

It enjoys massive adoption and growth rates thanks to its scalability, flexibility in multi-cloud environments, portability, cost, app development, and system deployment time reductions.

Finding exposed Kubernetes

Researchers at Cyble have conducted an exercise to locate exposed Kubernetes instances across the internet, using similar scanning tools and search queries to those employed by malicious actors.

The results show a massive 900,000 Kubernetes servers, with 65% of them (585,000) being located in the United States, 14% in China, 9% in Germany, while Netherlands and Ireland accounted for 6% each.

The purpose of Google Hacking is to leverage the vast amounts of data that are stored and indexed in search engines to produce unique results that quickly identify sensitive information, vulnerable systems, and network tactics and methods used by their hosts.    These methods are beneficial to security professionals, ethical hackers, and unfortunately black hats.    Who is Google Hacking? Google hacking has become very popular among security testers, ethical hackers, and unfortunately script kiddies and hackers who all too well understand its value. Is it Illegal? This is debatable and dependent upon the country or state you live in and the location of the target.   As a

Sanitizing application text fields

Image
  Sanitizing application text fields to prevent SQL injections and vulnerabilities involves several best practices.   Use Parameterized Queries or Prepared Statements: Instead of directly concatenating user input into SQL queries, use parameterized queries or prepared statements provided by your programming language's database API. These methods separate the SQL query logic from the user input, making it impossible for an attacker to inject malicious SQL code. Input Validation: Validate all user input to ensure it adheres to expected formats and ranges. Reject input that contains unexpected characters or patterns that could be indicative of SQL injection attempts. Use Whitelisting: Instead of blacklisting specific characters or patterns, consider whitelisting allowed characters and formats for input fields. This approach is generally safer as it explicitly defines what is acceptable rather than attempting to identify and filter out malicious input. Escape Special Characters: If y
