 <p>According to recent research, experts are warning that hundreds of source code projects and organizations are vulnerable to “ticking <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="supply" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/supply.html">supply</a> <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="chain" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/chain.html">chain</a> bomb.”</p>
 <p>Aqua analysts Yakir Kadkoda and Assaf Morag claim they found Kubernetes secrets in public repositories.

 <p>Those affected include two leading block<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="chain" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/chain.html">chain</a> firms and various other Fortune 500 companies that used the GitHub API to obtain all entries containing .dockerconfigjson and .dockercfg, which store credentials to access the container image registry.</p>

 <p>Of the 438 records are at risk of containing valid registry credentials, 203 records (around 46%) contained valid registry credentials.</p>
 <p>Of these, 93 passwords were manually set by individuals, as opposed to 345 computer-generated passwords. Moreover, almost 50% of the 93 passwords were considered weak. These included password, test123456, windows12, ChangeMe, and dockerhub.</p>
 <p>According to the latest data from&nbsp;DefiLlama, cybercriminals&nbsp;stole $1 billion in 75 <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="attack" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/attack.html">attack</a>s in 2023. This is significantly less than in 2022, when hackers lost $3.2 billion in 60 incidents. Now <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="attack" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/attack.html">attack</a>ers are committing small but frequent hacks. In just 11 of the 75 incidents recorded this year, cybercriminals stole more than $10 million, indicating that cybercriminals are committing smaller, more frequent thefts.</p>
