Reiknistofa bankanna og Defend Iceland í samstarf

Reiknistofa bankanna hefur samið við netöryggisfyrirtækið Defend Iceland um aðgang að hugbúnaði villuveiðigáttar fyrirtækisins. Með notkun villuveiðigáttarinnar nýtir Reiknistofa bankanna nýjustu aðferðir í netöryggi til að tryggja öryggi innviða fjármálakerfisins.

„Í því umhverfi sem við búum í með stöðugri aukningu í þróuðum netárásum þurfum við að vera mjög vakandi yfir þeim aðferðum sem hægt er að beita til þess að bæta netöryggi í okkar umhverfi. Samstarf okkar við Defend Iceland styrkir okkur á þessari vegferð og veitir okkur dýrmæta innsýn í nýjungar og bestu starfsaðferðir til þess að efla netöryggi,“ segir Ragnhildur Geirsdóttir, forstjóri Reiknistofu bankanna.

Í villuveiðigátt Defend Iceland eru aðferðir tölvuhakkara og skipulagðra netárásarhópa hermdar til að leita með markvissum hætti að veikleikum í upplýsingatæknikerfum notenda kerfisins, í því augnamiði að lagfæra þá áður en tölvuglæpamenn nýta þá til að brjótast inn og ná stjórn á viðkomandi kerfum.

„Netárásum skipulagðra glæpahópa fjölgar hratt og því er mikilvægara en nokkru sinni fyrr að tryggja varnirnar. Við hjá Defend Iceland höfum lagt áherslu á mikilvægi forvirkra netöryggisráðstafana og þá sérstaklega þegar kemur að krítískum innviðum samfélagsins,“ segir Jóhanna Vigdís Guðmundsdóttir, stjórnandi viðskiptaþróunar hjá Defend Iceland.

Is Your CTO Vibe-Coding?

Most of the conversation about AI and security runs in one direction: the barrier to entry for attackers is collapsing. A teenager with a chatbot can now scan, probe, and exploit at a level that used to require years of practice. That's a real problem, and it deserves the attention it gets.

Scraping GitHub for Secrets in Icelandic Bug Bounty - Community Blog

The idea for this project came during bug bounty work on Icelandic companies. One of the first things I always do in recon is search for the target on GitHub and Gists, looking for leaked credentials, API keys, internal URLs, anything useful. But the reality is, interesting stuff almost never comes from just searching the company name.

Public disclosure for a healthier cybersecurity culture

Landspitali is the leading hospital in Iceland and the largest workplace for employees in health care. It is funded by the Ministry of Welfare, supervised by the Directorate of Health and provides specialised and general care and has the capacity of approx. 700 beds. To say that it is an important organisation in Iceland is an understatement and almost every Icelander relies on their services in some way.

How I found all corporate usernames in Iceland

One of my favorite methods to gain initial access to companies is finding valid credentials. If your target is just one employee, this might be near impossible. But what if you have hundreds, or even thousands of targets? What if the target victim is anyone in Iceland? Then gaining valid credentials goes from near impossible to near certain.

When Retired Domains Come Back to Haunt: The Hidden Risk of Legacy Corporate Assets

Organizations evolve through mergers, acquisitions, and rebranding. Old domains get retired, but what happens when those domains can still receive password resets or act as the login email for third-party services for the previous owner? This post reveals an overlooked vulnerability we've seen through Defend Iceland's bug bounty platform: expired corporate domains that remain deeply embedded in third-party SaaS accounts. When these domains become available for registration, attackers can inherit access to SaaS accounts that still use the retired email domain for login or recovery. We'll show you exactly how this happens and why "just let it expire" is a dangerous domain retirement strategy.
