How to detect cyber security criminals and stop black hat hacker 

I am a Computer Science undergraduate researcher currently analyzing network traffic patterns and regional access control mechanisms. I am particularly interested in how Google/YouTube services ensure service integrity across different geographic locations.I would like to inquire about the technical feasibility and the actual utilization of specific network metadata within the Google ecosystem (including YouTube):1. Mobile Country Code (MCC) Extraction: From a security and service delivery standpoint, does the infrastructure actively monitor the MCC of a mobile user (e.g., via carrier-provided headers or app-level telemetry) to prevent regional service bypass? If so, is this data prioritized over IP-based geolocation?2. Autonomous System Number (ASN) Analysis: Does Google’s security layer utilize ASN data (derived from the user's connecting IP) to categorize traffic and identify potential anomal

 Navigating security and regulatory compliance in the cloud can be a significant challenge.

Google Cloud is taking a massive leap forward in cloud security by integrating Mandiant's Attack Surface Management (ASM) capabilities into the Enterprise Tier of its Security Command Center (SCC). Let's explore what this means for anyone seeking to fortify their cloud environments. What is Mandiant Attack Surface Management? Mandiant Attack Surface Management is a cybersecurity solution that continuously discovers, analyzes, and prioritizes an organization's internet-facing vulnerabilities from the attacker's point of view, helping to reduce the risk of breaches. Think of it as your digital perimeter's vigilant watchdog: Continuous Discovery: It relentlessly scans your entire Cloud Asset Inventory. Exposure Quantification: ASM goes beyond simple identification. It analyzes and prioritizes discovered vulne

Hello Google Support Team,I am the owner and developer of the website: https://www.bawoumarket.com (and the hosting URL: [suspicious link removed]).I recently deployed this website using Firebase Hosting. It is a legitimate e-commerce project currently under development. I added a login.html page for user authentication, and immediately after deployment, Google Chrome started flagging my site as "Dangerous / Deceptive Site Ahead".This is a false positive. The site is clean, safe, and does not contain any phishing or malicious content. It is simply a new project with a login form.I have verified my ownership in Google Search Console.Please review the site and remove the red warning screen so I can continue my developme

Why Daily Status Report is not available ?

Hello Guys, I am able to see many container image vulnerabilities in our environment. The occurrences are from artifact registry.We have fixed from 156 vulnerabilities to 22 and deleted the older digests as well.But in Risk overview -> Findings -> I am still able to see the older digests vulnerabilities that have already been fixed. When I click them it shows not found (That confirms it was deleted) but in findings tab it still retains the count.Why doesn't the count gets refreshed? We have tried manual artifact image scanning using Gcloud artifact scanner and also tried pushing the image again for refreshing still its not working. Any solution ?

Google Cloud's Security Command Center (SCC) offers a unified dashboard for consolidating security findings and assets. But what if you need to add your own business context to these findings? That's where security marks come in. To incorporate your specific business context into these findings, security marks prove invaluable. With the recent GUI upgrade, Enterprise versions now necessitate API usage, while SCC Standard and Premium versions retain GUI functionality. Security marks are custom key-value pairs you can use to annotate assets and findings in SCC. They allow you to add context like:Priority: “priority: high” Access Level: “access: confidential” Application: “app: marketing-web-prod” Incident Reference: “Incident-number: x2345”This feature is incredibly powerful for filtering, managing policies, and integrating SCC data into your security w

Navigating security and regulatory compliance in the cloud can be a significant challenge. Staying on top of diverse requirements and demonstrating adherence to auditors is a complex task. To help lighten the load, Google Cloud is rolling out the new feature - SCC Compliance Manager, currently in preview for Enterprise Tier.Compliance Manager offers a library of frameworks, primarily consisting of frequently used cloud controls, to assist organizations in meeting their security and regulatory obligations within cloud environments. While you can customize an existing framework to align with specific needs, the option to create a completely custom framework is also available.So, what can it do for you?Define and deploy security rules: Instead of manually setting up security policies across your environment, Compliance Manager helps you define and deploy a secure and compliant configuration from the get-go.

I'm trying to setup up Web Security Scanner with non-Google account for authorisation. I have a simplified login form that works as expected when saving the scan details, and I can see in our server login it's requesting the page, submitting the form, receiving the cookie, and then viewing the post-login page successfully.However when I try to run the scan it is always return a Login procedure failed error. Checking the logs I can see it's still visiting the sign in page, however no POST requests are being made. This includes both the post for the submit form, and another POST request that runs on page load. Both are called when the scan settings are being saved and verified however.I can see the login form submit is definitely triggering. From reading the documentation I can see custom scans should support POST requests, on managed scans are GET only. We are using the standard tier so these scans can only be custom scans.I've testing using alternate U

  Security Marks are a unique concept in Security Command Center.  They allow us to annotate assets or findings in SCC with additional business context.  You can apply Security Marks to both Assets and Findings. To apply Security Marks, you'll need one or both of the following permissions depending on whether you'll be applying Security Marks to assets, to findings, or both. For Asset Security Marks: Asset Security Marks Writer, securitycenter.assetSecurityMarksWriter For Finding Security Marks: Finding Security Marks Writer, securitycenter.findingSecurityMarksWriter You can add a Security Mark to an asset by navigating to the Assets view in Security Command Center and then selecting one or more assets.  Click the Set Security Marks button.

Please note at the time of this post the Toxic Combinations feature is currently in Preview. A toxic combination is a group of security issues that, when they occur together in a particular pattern, create a path to one or more of your high-value resources that a determined attacker could potentially use to reach and compromise those resources. A security issue is anything that contributes to the exposure of your cloud resources, such as a particular configuration of resources, a misconfiguration, or a software vulnerability. The Risk Engine of Security Command Center Enterprise detects toxic combinations during the attack path simulations it runs. For each toxic combination that Risk Engine detects, it issues a finding. Each finding includes an a

How does it work? Hash Generation: The system generates hashes for process binary data. VirusTotal (VT) Query: Hashes are used to construct VT links and query the VT database.

I have been trying to create a new Scan with "Non-Google account" authentication for a while and always fails with a FAILED_TO_AUTHENTICATE_TO_TARGET error code.According to the documentation, the possible issues could be:Using non-standard HTML form fields, for example, not using a password type.Using a complicated login form, for example, a form that has more than a single username and password field.Not saving an authentication cookie on successful login.In some situations, the scanner is denied by counter-measures that are meant to protect against bots, DDOS, and other attacks.I can confirm that a simple form is being used, it has no more that a single usernam
