Abstract: A solution to the problems caused by data breaches in the production and distribution of power is provided by the smart grid framework’s inclusion of the RC4 Cipher algorithm. Individual ...
The January 2026 updates will begin the phaseout of RC4 encryption in the Kerberos protocol for Windows Server. The trigger is a security flaw that allows attackers to request Kerberos service tickets ...
A threat actor with a sophisticated variant of the ClickFix attack is tricking users into installing malware on their systems. Unlike typical ClickFix scams that use fake security alerts or CAPTCHAs ...
To tackle that, Microsoft has started rolling out protections designed to prevent information disclosure attacks that could expose Kerberos service tickets using weak or legacy encryption, including ...
The Cipher class, central to the javax.crypto package, abstracts encryption/decryption through a provider-based architecture that delegates to pluggable CipherSpi implementations for ...

Microsoft is finally ripping out one of the weakest links in its identity stack, cutting off a legacy cipher that attackers have abused for years to walk straight into corporate networks. The move ...
About time: Microsoft introduced support for the RC4 stream cipher in Windows 2000 as the default authentication algorithm for the Active Directory services. The system has been insecure for even ...
Microsoft is officially moving to shut the door on RC4 - a legacy cryptographic cipher that has quietly persisted inside Windows authentication environments for decades - and forcing organizations to ...
