A single, repeatedly used digital certificate has become the linchpin in a landmark investigation that unraveled one of the most extensive and interconnected cyber-espionage networks attributed to North Korean state-sponsored actors. Recent findings from a joint research effort have provided the global security community with an unprecedented view into the operational architecture of these advanced persistent threat (APT) groups. The

The industrialization of cybercrime has transformed digital theft from a specialized skill into a readily available service, with devastating consequences for businesses and individuals worldwide. For years, the Phishing-as-a-Service (PhaaS) model has thrived, offering turn-key solutions that allow even novice criminals to launch sophisticated attacks with a few clicks. This subscription-based dark economy has lowered the barrier to entry for

The very security protocols designed to protect modern cloud environments are now being turned into weapons by threat actors, marking a dangerous evolution in phishing tactics. OAuth, the authentication standard enabling seamless access across countless applications, has become the new frontline in the battle for digital identity. Its legitimate features are being cleverly weaponized to bypass robust security measures, posing

The trust inherent in academic collaboration has been dangerously weaponized in a new wave of cyber espionage, where the intellectual capital of scholars is now the primary target for state-sponsored threat actors. A sophisticated campaign uncovered in October 2025 demonstrates a calculated shift in espionage tactics, moving from broad institutional attacks to the precision targeting of individual minds. This evolution

A recently uncovered security vulnerability in a widely used automotive component has transformed theoretical concerns into a tangible reality, demonstrating how hackers can remotely seize complete control of a vehicle’s dashboard infotainment system. This discovery serves as a stark reminder of the escalating security risks tied to the hyper-connectivity of modern cars, which have evolved into sophisticated Internet of Things

The silent, digital walls protecting an enterprise network can be undone by a single, cleverly exploited flaw, turning a trusted gateway into an open door for intruders and placing critical data at immediate risk. The recent addition of a critical Fortinet vulnerability to the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s (CISA) catalog of actively exploited threats has created exactly this
