#ICYDK: This is a demonstration of a hybrid API banking implementation to handle a TARGET Instant Payment Settlement (TIPS) between a customer and retail store. Providing a walk-through of what is involved with a common everyday transaction that many of us take for granted, and is enabled by a variety of API-driven solutions. The goal with this demonstration is to help provide a narrative for why banks should be investing in their API infrastructure, including the next generation event-driven infrastructure, that helps augment operations, making things more automated and real-time.

#ICYMI: Vulnerabilities

If you are using Kubernetes, you should install a patch for it as soon as possible. There was a huge privilege escalation vulnerability that got fixed this week. The flaw allows attackers to contact Kubernetes API server using a non-privileged account and then get high-privilege operations forwarded to backend services. Even worse, the calls are not showing up in server audit logs or server logs, making the attack hard to detect.
