As a leading IT professional with deep expertise in artificial intelligence and machine learning, Dominic Jainy has a unique perspective on the evolving landscape of cyber threats. He joins us to dissect the latest trends in cybercrime, focusing on the dramatic rise of identity-based attacks, the industrialization of phishing, and the specific industries feeling the heat. We’ll explore how attackers
A severe zero-day vulnerability in Cisco’s email security appliances is being actively exploited in the wild, allowing unauthenticated attackers to gain complete control over affected systems through maliciously crafted web requests. The critical flaw, identified as CVE-2025-20393, resides within the Spam Quarantine feature of the Cisco Secure Email Gateway and Secure Email and Web Manager. Its discovery has triggered urgent
The long-held defense of commercial spyware vendors—that they merely supply powerful tools without participating in their use—is rapidly crumbling under the weight of new technical evidence suggesting they are far more involved in their clients’ surveillance operations than previously acknowledged. This emerging trend dismantles the legal and ethical shields that companies like Intellexa have used to distance themselves from the
Meta’s recent commitment of an astonishing $72 billion to its “Meta Compute” initiative has unequivocally announced a new epoch in technology, where the race for artificial intelligence supremacy is no longer won with algorithms alone but with gigawatts of raw power. This monumental investment signals a tectonic shift in the foundational requirements for developing next-generation AI, moving the battleground from
In the intricate world of enterprise cybersecurity, the Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system stands as the central nervous system, a vigilant sentinel tasked with observing, correlating, and reporting on the endless stream of digital activity across a network. When this core component is compromised, it doesn’t just create a security gap; it effectively renders an organization blind and
The cybersecurity industry has become locked in a high-stakes technological arms race, with defenders deploying increasingly complex AI algorithms to counter adversaries who are, in turn, weaponizing AI to orchestrate more sophisticated and evasive attacks. This escalating cycle of AI versus AI has created an environment where security teams are drowning in a sea of data and alerts, yet organizations
The very tools designed to secure and manage complex cloud environments can sometimes become the weakest link, creating a direct pathway for a catastrophic breach that bypasses carefully constructed defenses. A recently discovered vulnerability demonstrates how the trust placed in a single administrative platform could be exploited, allowing an attacker to pivot from one compromised virtual machine to complete control
A single, cleverly crafted request to a web server should never be enough to bring down an entire application, yet a newly discovered vulnerability in the Node.js ecosystem makes this alarming scenario a reality for millions of developers. This guide is designed to walk you through the mechanics of this critical flaw, explain its surprisingly vast impact across common development
A seemingly moderate security flaw within a core Windows component has become the linchpin for sophisticated cyberattacks, forcing security teams globally into a race against adversaries who are already exploiting it in the wild. The first major security update of 2026 from Microsoft addresses this actively exploited vulnerability, alongside over a hundred others, painting a complex picture of the modern
The digital trust that underpins modern commerce and hiring is rapidly eroding, evidenced by the staggering $12.5 billion that consumers lost to increasingly sophisticated AI-driven scams in 2025 alone. This is not merely an uptick in conventional fraud; it represents a paradigm shift. The widespread availability of generative artificial intelligence has democratized the tools for creating highly convincing fake documents
The immutable ledger technology that promised to secure digital transactions and decentralize power is now being twisted into a resilient command hub for a new generation of sophisticated ransomware. Last year’s emergence of the DeadLock ransomware variant confirmed what many security researchers had feared: the core principles of blockchain could be weaponized to create attack infrastructures that are stealthy, dynamic,
In the whirlwind of digital life, a single email can ignite a wave of panic. Recently, millions of Instagram users experienced this firsthand, deluged by a torrent of legitimate, yet unsolicited, password reset requests. The incident exposed the fragile line between platform security and user psychology, raising urgent questions about data privacy, corporate responsibility, and our own digital defenses. To
