If an attack feels like it came out of nowhere, it didn’t. Long before a breach hits the news—or your inbox—someone was quietly learning how you work. They poked at public records. They mapped your network. They studied your employees. And they likely did it without tripping a single alarm. That silent phase is reconnaissance….
If you’ve ever wished you could see cyberattacks coming before they hit your inbox, firewall, or cloud workloads, you’re not alone. That’s exactly what threat intelligence feeds promise: a near-real-time radar of malicious IPs, domains, malware hashes, and attacker tactics gathered from across the internet. When used well, these feeds help defenders detect threats faster,…
If a thief discovers a hidden door in your house that even the builder didn’t know about, every lock, alarm, and camera you installed loses power. That’s what a zero‑day vulnerability is in cybersecurity: a brand‑new hole no one knows exists—except the attacker. And because there’s no patch yet, the attacker gets the first move….
What kind of cybercriminal can steal millions with nothing more than a phone number and a convincing voice? In 2025, U.S. prosecutors answered that question in court. A 20-year-old tied to the notorious Scattered Spider crew just received 10 years in federal prison, plus $13 million in restitution, for SIM-swapping scams that drained victims’ cryptocurrency…
If you thought patching always meant “good guy at work,” think again. In a twist that sounds like a plotline from a cyber-thriller, researchers have observed threat actors exploiting a critical vulnerability—and then patching it themselves. Why? To lock out rival attackers, evade common detection, and keep quiet, long-term access to your environment. This isn’t…
If you’ve ever scanned a QR code to log in faster, view an invoice, or reset a password, you’re not alone. QR codes are frictionless. They feel safe. And that’s exactly why attackers love them. Security researchers at Barracuda Networks just spotlighted a new wave of QR code phishing—often called “quishing”—that uses clever image tricks…
If your organization runs SharePoint on‑prem, stop what you’re doing and check your patch status. A new ransomware crew, Warlock, is riding a SharePoint exploit chain dubbed “ToolShell” to hit victims across North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa—moving from initial access to full-blown ransomware and data theft in hours. Here’s the headline: attackers are chaining…
What if the “official” Brazilian government website you just found on Google was a polished AI fake—built in minutes—and it asked you to pay R$87,40 to “complete your exam”? And what if, at the same time, a stealthy Trojan swapped your crypto wallet address the second you hit paste? That’s not a hypothetical. Researchers have…
If you still think “fake browser updates” are a 2018 problem, think again. The SocGholish malware operation has matured into a full-scale access-broker business, quietly abusing advertising tech and Traffic Distribution Systems (TDS) like Parrot TDS and Keitaro TDS to profile visitors and route only the “right” victims into malware traps. From there, compromised endpoints…
