Bez(a)Dis Security Weekend

Rád by som spropagoval zaujímavú medzinárodnú bezpečnostnú udalosť Bez(a)Dis Security Weekend, ktorá sa uskutoční cez víkend 12-14.11 na fakulte informatiky UPJŠ v Košiciach.

Na bezpečnostný víkend zavítajú medzinárodní hostia z Budapešti – Stefan Marsiske a András Veres-Szentkirályi z Budapeštianskeho hackerspaceu H.A.C.K., Juraj Bednár a Tomáš Zaťko zo spoločnosti Digmia a Lukáš Hlavička zo slovenského CSIRT inštitútu.

Z našej spoločnosti bude mať prezentáciu Norbert Szetei – Advanced exploitation with metasploit a ja s aktualizovanou verziou prezentácie – New vulnerability trends in massively used public technologies, kde predstavím nové zaujímavé zariadenia na emuláciu Mifare kariet (Mikey Card, PicNic a tajvanský telefón Huayu).

Počas víkendu bude možné zapojiť sa aj do pripravovanej hackerskej hry (“Capture The Flag”).

V každom prípade, ak Vás zaujíma IT bezpečnosť a ste z Košíc alebo si chcete spraviť výlet do tohto mesta, nenechajte si ujsť túto zaujímavú akciu.

Vstup je zdarma a všetky prednášky budú v angličtine.

Critical security problem in UpdraftCentral: an attacker holding the service’s keys planted a backdoor on our websites

October 19, 2026

On the night of 19 October 2026 an attacker abused UpdraftCentral, the remote management service built into UpdraftPlus, a backup plugin with more than 4 million installations, and planted a backdoor on two of our three websites. Our sites were fully up to date and the fault was not on our side: the attacker signed the commands with valid keys that the UpdraftCentral Cloud service generates and keeps. We publish an analysis of the backdoor, indicators of compromise and a way to check your own sites. The vendor later confirmed that the attacker obtained the teamupdraft.com customer database, including UpdraftCentral keys.

We built an ORSR aggregator and priced out harvesting the whole register (the birth number, signature and health insurer of every Slovak company owner)

In one evening we built an AI-assisted ORSR aggregator: one click gives the birth number, signature, home address and health insurer of any Slovak company director. And we priced out harvesting the entire register: the cost of a used laptop.

A senseless Slovak statute published the birth numbers, addresses and certified signatures of company directors — and it is not a bug, it is written into Section 100(3). We are convinced the greatest threat to citizens privacy today is the state itself.
