0x40k<p>Alright, Go developers, listen up! 🚨 Seriously crazy stuff is happening in the Go world right now. We're talking major typosquatting issues. Attackers are slithering in and spreading malware via fake packages, can you believe it?</p><p>So, for goodness sake, pay super close attention to the names of your modules! One little typo and bam! You've got yourself a nasty infection. As a pentester, I see this kind of thing all the time, sadly. Tiny mistakes, HUGE consequences. This malware then installs a backdoor. Totally not cool, right?</p><p>Therefore, check your imports, folks! And make sure you're getting your devs trained up on security. Automated scans? Nice to have, sure, but they're absolutely no substitute for a manual pentest! What are your go-to tools for fighting this kind of attack? Oh, and yeah, IT security *has* to be in the budget, that's just the way it is.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/golang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>golang</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/security" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>security</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/typosquatting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>typosquatting</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/pentesting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pentesting</span></a></p>
