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 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…
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…
If you’ve noticed that email threats are getting harder to spot, you’re not imagining it. Attackers are leveling up—and a new malware loader called QuirkyLoader is proof. First seen in late 2024 and detailed by IBM X-Force, QuirkyLoader is being used in email spam campaigns to quietly deliver some of the most prolific info‑stealers and…
If you think only “zero-days” change the game, here’s a wake-up call: a patched, six-year-old Cisco bug is helping a Russian intelligence unit burrow into enterprise networks across the globe. Not in ones or twos—at scale. The FBI and Cisco Talos warn that a sophisticated FSB-linked group—tracked as “Static Tundra,” also known as “Berserk Bear”…
If you’re reading this on the way to a flight, take a breath: aviation is one of the safest industries on Earth. But it’s also one of the most digital. Modern aircraft are flying data centers. Airports are small cities with sprawling networks. And air traffic control relies on real-time data that must be accurate…
You’ve probably scanned a QR code this week—maybe to read a menu, pay for parking, or check in at an event. It’s quick. It’s convenient. And it feels harmless. Here’s the twist: that square can be weaponized. Hackers are turning QR codes into stealthy attack vectors to steal logins, plant malware, and redirect you to…
