If you’ve ever waited weeks for a pentest report only to spend days copy-pasting findings into Jira and chasing teams on Slack, you’re not alone. Pentesting is still one of the best ways to find real-world weaknesses before attackers do. But the way most organizations deliver those findings? It’s stuck in the past. Static PDFs….
If you’ve ever relied on IP reputation, geofencing, or “trusted locations” to protect your SaaS stack, this one’s for you. Darktrace researchers recently uncovered a coordinated wave of SaaS account compromises coming from virtual private server (VPS) providers. The logins looked clean. The IPs were new. The timing mimicked real users. And once attackers got…
If you stripped every app down to its essentials—ridesharing, banking, TikTok, your smartwatch—you’d find the same beating heart: a database. It’s where your data lives, how your app stays fast, and why your business scales (or doesn’t). But what exactly is a database, and which type should you use in 2025? Let’s break it down…
If you manage cloud, identity, or telecom infrastructure, you’ve likely felt a shift. Attacks that once hit endpoints and perimeter boxes now slip through trusted cloud relationships, SaaS connectors, and vendor admin portals. That’s not by accident. Chinese state-linked threat groups—including Murky Panda (also known as Silk Typhoon/Hafnium), Genesis Panda, and Glacial Panda—are intensifying campaigns…
What does it take to cripple a 1,000‑person cybercrime network? In this case, it took a continent-wide sting, months of planning, and unprecedented cooperation between 19 countries, top cybersecurity firms, and nonprofit threat intel groups. From June to August 2025, Interpol coordinated “Operation Serengeti 2.0,” a large-scale effort targeting cybercriminals operating across Africa. The results…
If you installed a “free” VPN Chrome extension to stay private online, this story will make you rethink that choice. Security researchers say the Featured Chrome extension FreeVPN.One silently captures screenshots of users’ browsing and sends them to a remote server—no obvious consent, no clear local processing, and plenty of enterprise data loss risk. Here’s…
What if a file name alone could compromise your Linux system—without a macro, without a dropper, and without you clicking “Run”? That’s exactly the uncomfortable reality uncovered by researchers who found a Linux-specific malware delivery trick that hides executable code inside the file name of a RAR archive entry. Even worse, most antivirus tools don’t…
If a single line of code could lock your entire company out of its network, would you know before it detonated? That’s the chilling question at the heart of a real insider-threat case that ended with a four-year prison sentence for software developer Davis Lu. His employer, a global electrical manufacturer, suffered severe disruption when…
Cybercrime isn’t just about blasting DDoS or dropping noisy crypto miners anymore. Today’s attackers are building quiet, persistent revenue engines. They hijack bandwidth through legitimate-looking SDKs, turn everyday devices into covert relay nodes, and burrow into misconfigured databases to mint coins in the background. If that sounds like a plot twist, it is. And it’s…
What happens when a convincing fake slips into a fast-moving news cycle? Last week, parts of the cybersecurity community learned the hard way. A new Telegram channel, styled to look official, claimed Europol was offering up to $50,000 for tips identifying two alleged Qilin ransomware administrators. Several outlets ran with it. It sounded plausible. It…
