Cryptographic Operators Group Flagged as Hidden Active Directory Threat

Original: (semperis.com) The Overlooked Danger of Active Directory's Cryptographic Operators Group: A Tier 0 Threat in Disguise In

The company urges admins to audit membership and treat the group with the same caution as Domain Admins.

Why now: New research reclassifies a commonly ignored Active Directory group as a Tier 0 security risk, prompting defenders to reassess their permission hygiene.
