LLMs consistently hallucinate Web domains for legitimate brands that attackers can register for malicious activity in a difficult-to-detect attack vector.

Planning ahead to defend against cyber threats is the work that keeps events uneventful.

The group compromised at least 10 regional organizations, including two state-owned entities, and deployed a new backdoor.

"Agentjacking" is the latest demonstration of how easily attackers can exploit an AI agent's inability to differentiate between content and instructions.

Threat actors don't need any special authentication to reach a target endpoint — they just need to know where it is.

As AI reshapes cybersecurity workflows, John Paul Cunningham, CISO at SIlverfort, says the technology is creating opportunities rather than eliminating jobs — and there are more ways than ever to break into the essential field.

Separate but similar campaigns described by Microsoft and Trend Micro use malicious zip files to spread malware via social engineering and obsfucation, including blockchain abuse.

Teams are dealing with a truly dangerous problem — automation that works, but that no one understands.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) scaled back the number of CVEs it selects for in-depth analysis, but the move has produced mixed results, according to researchers.

The infostealer was delivered via CVE-2026-48558, a critical authentication bypass vulnerability in SimpleHelp, targeting credentials linking development and admin environments to wider enterprise systems.

One critical vulnerability, among many discovered by a researcher, could have allowed anyone to walk in and take over a national government portal.

Does life feel Orwellian sometimes? One researcher has a solution for you: graphic tees that confuse the neural networks in surveillance cameras.

Nation-state attackers breach water systems through weak passwords, exposed PLCs, and poor segmentation — not sophisticated malware.

Adversaries could plant a malicious repository that can execute arbitrary code and steal cloud credentials by exploiting the vulnerability, which showcases growing MCP risk.

Rising threats from third-party actors are forcing institutions to play defense to protect student data from ransomware and other attacks.

Companies are still experimenting with automated AI systems to find security weaknesses, but fewer are relying on the technology.

Cisco joins a growing list of security platform providers that are betting that securing the agentic workforce means turning identity into the primary control plane.

The Open Source Sustainability Initiative's goal is to help enterprises manage and secure aging open source projects while maintaining regulatory compliance.

Instead of eliminating jobs for early-career cyber pros, AI is creating new opportunities for candidates with strong human decision-making skills.
