Imagine opening an urgent email that appears to be from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, demanding immediate payment to resolve a supposed legal issue. The sender’s address looks legitimate, the logo is spot-on, and the tone feels official. Yet, something seems off. This is the reality for countless individuals targeted by cybercriminals impersonating government entities like the FBI. These scams
Imagine opening a seemingly harmless Word document, only to unknowingly grant attackers full control over your system, bypassing every security measure in place. This chilling scenario is no longer just a hypothetical, as a zero-day remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability targeting Microsoft Office and Windows systems has surfaced on underground hacking forums. Sold by a threat actor known as Zeroplayer
Imagine a world where cloud security breaches are stopped before they even begin, where the relentless tide of cyber threats in multi-cloud environments is met with a barrier that anticipates and neutralizes risks at their inception. This isn’t a distant dream but a tangible reality brought to life by Blast Security, a Tel Aviv-based cybersecurity innovator. In an era where
Picture this: a seemingly innocent email lands in your inbox with a family photo attached, a JPEG file no different from thousands you’ve opened before. You click to preview it, and without a whisper of warning, your entire system is under the control of a cybercriminal. This isn’t a far-fetched nightmare but a stark reality tied to a critical flaw
As new porn bans and age checks roll out across the U.K., U.S., and parts of Europe, VPN downloads have exploded in lockstep and an opportunistic wave of malware-laced “VPN” apps has surged into the gap created by novice users seeking fast workarounds, a collision of policy and security that now places privacy, safety, and the open internet on the
In a summer when routine patch cycles felt safe enough, a quiet wave of break-ins through Oracle E‑Business Suite proved that a single pre-auth web request could become a master key to finance, HR, and supply chain data before most security teams even knew there was a door to lock. The incident—anchored to CVE‑2025‑61882 and linked by numerous teams to
A single zipped shortcut arriving in a WhatsApp chat can quietly trigger a full‑blown heist-grade intrusion chain that looks routine to defenders until the browsers of a Brazilian victim start betraying their bank sessions. That is the unsettling scenario emerging from an investigation into the Maverick banking trojan, whose delivery and inner mechanics align strikingly with the older Coyote campaign.
Introduction: Quiet Contracts Signal a New Competitive Curve Silent contracts and sparse press releases masked a pivotal shift: offensive cyber moved from artisanal craft to agentic scale, and the purchasing center of gravity followed. This analysis examines how U.S. investment in AI-driven operations—anchored by stealth startup Twenty and contrasted with established programs like Two Six Technologies’ IKE—reconfigured competitive dynamics, procurement
Few attack chains have blended social engineering, browser subversion, and automation as seamlessly as the campaign now roping WhatsApp Web into a high-velocity delivery system for Brazil-focused financial malware, and the trick that makes it sing is deceptively simple: steal an already logged-in session, then let Selenium do the talking while trust does the rest. The operation hinges on a
