Introduction As financial technology continues to reshape global markets, regulatory bodies are stepping up oversight to ensure that innovation does not outpace consumer protection, data security, or systemic stability. The year 2025 has already seen significant amendments across major jurisdictions that directly impact how fintechs handle data, payments, compliance, and third-party risk. Here’s a concise…
Introduction:As fintech platforms continue to revolutionize the financial landscape, they also become prime targets for increasingly sophisticated cybercriminals. In 2025, financial fraud has evolved beyond traditional phishing and malware attacks. Threat actors now leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to simulate human behavior, exploit system loopholes, and bypass conventional security protocols. In response, fintech companies must adopt…

The breaches this month emphasized the rising threat of insider misconfigurations, supply chain vulnerabilities, and insecure APIs. Each of these areas reflects the growing need for client-side…
Introduction IBM’s 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report offers a revealing look into how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping both the threat landscape and cybersecurity defense strategies. While AI has accelerated detection and response times, it has also introduced new risks—particularly when deployed without sufficient oversight. At Breachfin, we’ve closely analyzed the findings and…
Published: July 28, 2025Author: BreachFin Research TeamTags: MCP Security, API Pentesting, LLM, AI Security, Vulnerability Testing Introduction As Large Language Models (LLMs) grow more powerful, the interfaces connecting them to external tools and systems have become critical security battlegrounds. One such interface is the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — an open standard enabling LLMs to…
Most organizations today can tell you what scripts are loaded on their website. Fewer can tell you what those scripts actually do. And that’s the problem. In the age of client-side attacks, relying solely on script name matching, hashes, or domain allow-lists is no longer sufficient. Attackers know how to hide in plain sight, injecting…
Published: July 26, 2025By: BreachFin Security Insights Team When we talk about client-side threats, most attention is given to JavaScript supply chain attacks, third-party scripts, and DOM manipulation. But there’s another growing blind spot: browser extensions. More than 70% of internet users have at least one extension installed. From password managers and coupon finders to…
Published: July 26, 2025By: BreachFin Security Insights Team In the world of DevOps and modern web development, change is constant. New features are pushed weekly, third-party libraries are updated silently, and marketing teams frequently tweak site tags without security oversight. All of this introduces what we call “script drift”—the gradual, unmonitored evolution of client-side JavaScript…
Modern websites are assembled from layers of third-party, fourth-party, and dynamically injected JavaScript. But while most organizations track their core scripts, few account for what we call “shadow scripts” — unmonitored, unapproved, or inherited JavaScript code that silently executes in the background. These aren’t just theoretical risks. Shadow scripts are often the first foothold in…
