πŸ”’ New Critical Vulnerability Found in the Legislative Assembly of the Republic of Costa Rica

πŸ”’ New Critical Vulnerability Found in the Legislative Assembly of the Republic of Costa Rica.

Our monitoring systems have detected unauthorized access to the email servers of this institution, which are currently being exploited to distribute fraudulent cryptocurrency-related campaigns. These emails are being sent from legitimate Legislative Assembly addresses, granting them apparent authenticity and making them difficult to detect by conventional security filters, thus significantly increasing the risk to potential victims worldwide.

This discovery adds to previous incidents identified by Dymo in other governmental bodies, such as the Public Prosecution Office of the Sultanate of Oman and the National Police of Ecuador, confirming a concerning pattern of vulnerabilities in critical state infrastructures.

We have formally reported this vulnerability to the Legislative Assembly of Costa Rica, along with technical recommendations to mitigate the breach’s impact and prevent future exploitation.

At Dymo, we reaffirm our commitment to global cybersecurity and the responsible disclosure of vulnerabilities that threaten the integrity and trust of public and private institutions worldwide. Incidents like this highlight the urgent need to strengthen cyber defenses in state organizations increasingly exposed to modern threats.
