SafeBreach Labs to Showcase Original Research in Four Talks across Black Hat USA 2025 and DEF CON 33 Conferences
LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- SafeBreach, the leader in enterprise exposure validation, today announced that members of its SafeBreach Labs research team will present three pieces of groundbreaking original research across four sessions at the Black Hat USA 2025 and DEF CON 33 conferences in Las Vegas next week. This year's sessions further cement the reputation of the SafeBreach Labs team as recognized experts and thought leaders in cybersecurity research. Over the past seven years, team members have consistently earned speaking slots at both Black Hat USA and DEF CON simultaneously, while presenting more than 50 additional talks at conferences around the world. In addition, the SafeBreach Labs team has discovered 50+ zero-day vulnerabilities and been nominated twice for the Pwnie Awards for Most Innovative Research and Best Privilege Escalation. The team's research this year will demonstrate significant vulnerabilities in AI-powered workplace systems and Windows operating system components that impact enterprise security: Invitation Is All You Need! Invoking Gemini for Workspace Agents with a Simple Google Calendar Invite At Black Hat on Wednesday, August 6 at 4:20 pm PT At DEF CON on Sunday, August 10 at 10:00 am PT SafeBreach Security Research Team Lead Or Yair, cybersecurity expert Ben Nassi, and PhD Student Stav Cohen will present their discovery of a new variant of Promptware called Targeted Promptware Attacks that allows Gemini for Workspace agents to be hacked through simple Google Calendar invitations, revealing 15 different exploitations across Gemini's web interface, mobile application, and Google Assistant. The session will explain how attackers can generate toxic content, perform spamming and phishing, delete calendar events, control home appliances, video stream and geolocate victims, and more. Their findings indicate that more than 70% of identified Promptware risks are high/critical and require immediate mitigations. You Snooze, You Lose: RPC-Racer Winning RPC Endpoints against Services At DEF CON on Friday, August 8 at 2 pm PT SafeBreach Security Researcher Ron Ben Yizhak will present how he discovered the ability for unprivileged users to impersonate trusted RPC servers—and how SafeBreach's new RPC-Racer toolset identifies and exploits these vulnerabilities. From racing services at boot time to tricking high-integrity processes into trusting malicious fake servers, this session dives deep into manipulation of RPC clients and demonstrates the real-world risks. Win-DoS Epidemic: A crash course in abusing RPC for Win-DoS & Win-DDoS At DEF CON on Sunday, August 10 at 12:30 pm PT Building on original LDAPNightmare research released earlier this year, SafeBreach Security Research Team Lead Or Yair and Research Lead Shahak Morag will discuss how they exploited security gaps in Microsoft Windows RPC to develop a novel DDoS technique—dubbed Win-DDoS—that can harness the power of tens of thousands of public domain controllers around the world to create a malicious botnet with vast resources. The presentation will also demonstrate how they discovered four new DoS vulnerabilities along the way, with abilities ranging from crashing an individual domain controller to crashing any Windows computer within a domain. The presentation raises implications for enterprise resilience, risk modeling, and defense strategies, while providing new insights for OS-level hardening. "The SafeBreach Labs team has established a remarkable history of presenting original research at both Black Hat USA and DEF CON—this year is no different,' said Tomer Bar, VP of Security Research at SafeBreach.

RPC (NYSE:RES) Will Pay A Dividend Of $0.04
RPC, Inc.'s (NYSE:RES) investors are due to receive a payment of $0.04 per share on 10th of September. This makes the dividend yield 3.3%, which will augment investor returns quite nicely. This technology could replace computers: discover the 20 stocks are working to make quantum computing a reality. RPC's Future Dividend Projections Appear Well Covered By Earnings Impressive dividend yields are good, but this doesn't matter much if the payments can't be sustained. Based on the last payment, RPC was quite comfortably earning enough to cover the dividend. This indicates that a lot of the earnings are being reinvested into the business, with the aim of fueling growth. Looking forward, earnings per share is forecast to rise by 104.0% over the next year. If the dividend continues on this path, the payout ratio could be 30% by next year, which we think can be pretty sustainable going forward. Check out our latest analysis for RPC Dividend Volatility While the company has been paying a dividend for a long time, it has cut the dividend at least once in the last 10 years. The dividend has gone from an annual total of $0.42 in 2015 to the most recent total annual payment of $0.16. The dividend has shrunk at around 9.2% a year during that period. Declining dividends isn't generally what we look for as they can indicate that the company is running into some challenges. The Dividend Looks Likely To Grow With a relatively unstable dividend, and a poor history of shrinking dividends, it's even more important to see if EPS is growing. RPC has impressed us by growing EPS at 50% per year over the past five years. RPC is clearly able to grow rapidly while still returning cash to shareholders, positioning it to become a strong dividend payer in the future. We Really Like RPC's Dividend In summary, it is good to see that the dividend is staying consistent, and we don't think there is any reason to suspect this might change over the medium term. The company is easily earning enough to cover its dividend payments and it is great to see that these earnings are being translated into cash flow. All in all, this checks a lot of the boxes we look for when choosing an income stock. Investors generally tend to favour companies with a consistent, stable dividend policy as opposed to those operating an irregular one. However, there are other things to consider for investors when analysing stock performance. As an example, we've identified 2 warning signs for RPC that you should be aware of before investing.

DepEd vows to cooperate with Ombudsman amid order to file graft charges vs. Briones, Lao
The Department of Education (DepEd) on Saturday said it is fully committed to cooperating with the Office of the Ombudsman after its order to file graft and falsification charges against former Education Secretary Leonor Briones, former Budget Undersecretary Christopher Lao, and several former education officials regarding the 'pricey' P2.4 billion laptops purchased in 2020. 'DepEd reiterates its full commitment to cooperate with the Office of the Ombudsman in the expeditious and fair resolution of this case. The Department is ready to provide all necessary documents, information, and other forms of assistance to ensure accountability and to protect the interest of the public,' DepEd said in a statement. DepEd said it was already informed of the filing of an Information for Violation of Section 3 (e) of Republic Act No. 3019 or the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act, Falsification by Public Officers under Article 171 of the Revised Penal Code (RPC), and Perjury under Article 183 of the RPC against several of its former officials. 'Officials subject of the charges no longer hold any position in or maintain any connection with the Department,' DepEd said. The laptops, priced at P58,300 each with an outdated Celeron processor, were purchased by the Department of Education for the implementation of distance learning amid the COVID-19 pandemic. It was deemed 'pricey' by the Commission on Audit. 'The new bidding parameters, i.e. lower quantity and higher unit price, were reflected in the bidding documents and was used in the bidding process... These parameters facilitated the overprice and the consequent undue injury and gross disadvantage to the government,' the Ombudsman said. The Ombudsman said that the approved series of requests for extensions to deliver the laptops, requests to change payment terms, and other adjustments to the contract terms and conditions which, taken together, 'betray an unusually deferential treatment and favor towards the Joint Venture consortium.' The Ombudsman added that the DepEd supply officers often received feedback stating that the computers they had purchased were: overpriced vis-à-vis the outdated or inferior technical specifications; unable to handle multiple applications at the same time; defective or fast-draining battery; quite slow to boot-up; and immediately returned by the recipients, who opted to wait for better laptop models. —Jamil Santos/ VAL, GMA Integrated News
