Cybersecurity measures to keep Mobile Banking Apps Safe
Mobile banking applications have transformed the way people manage their finances by allowing users to transfer money, pay bills, and monitor transactions anytime and anywhere. However, the increasing use of mobile banking has also made these applications a major target for cybercriminals. To protect users’ sensitive financial information, strong cybersecurity measures are essential for ensuring […]
Ransomware hackers are now threatening to indulge in Physical Harm or Violence
Cybercrime has evolved rapidly over the past decade, transforming from simple computer viruses and data theft into highly organized criminal operations. Among the most dangerous forms of cybercrime today is ransomware, a type of malicious software that encrypts a victim’s files or systems and demands payment in exchange for restoring access. While ransomware attacks were […]
Student Photos on School Websites emerging as a Cyber Threat
The growing use of student photographs on school and educational institution websites is now emerging as a serious cybersecurity and child safety concern. Experts are warning that images of children published online can be misused by cybercriminals in disturbing ways, creating risks not only for students and parents, but also for schools and administrators. According […]
Cisco Talos Turns AI Honeypots Into Bait for Automated Attackers
Cisco Talos researcher Martin Lee published a working AI honeypots prototype this week that turns generative AI from an attacker tool into a defender’s deception platform, exploiting a structural weakness most defenders have not catalogued: AI agents lack situational awareness. Talos’s prototype uses ChatGPT to impersonate any system the defender names in a prompt, from […]
Talos Year in Review: Identity Security Drives Defender Priorities as Device Attacks Jump 178%
Cisco Talos closed its 2026 Year in Review on a sober identity security finding: device-compromise attacks rose 178% year over year, and ransomware chains now lean almost entirely on valid accounts and credentialed tools rather than novel exploits. Talos’s incident-response telemetry shows attackers prioritize what is exposed and reachable, with React2Shell and ToolShell weaponized inside […]
Cyber Threat Literacy tops the list of Top 10 People Risks
Surveys highlighting cyber risks have become a regular feature in recent years, often focusing on data breaches, phishing attacks, and ransomware incidents. However, a new study shifts the spotlight toward a more fundamental concern: Cyber Threat Literacy. According to the findings, a lack of understanding about cyber risks has emerged as the top issue among […]
Cyber Threat to undersea Cables in Strait of Hormuz
If diplomatic efforts between the United States-backed Israel and Iran fail to materialize, concerns are growing over potential escalation beyond conventional military engagement. One scenario being discussed by analysts involves Iran targeting critical digital infrastructure across the Gulf region. Specifically, there is speculation that Iran could attempt to disrupt the undersea internet cables that run […]
How Agentic AI Systems block Malware development and Cyber Threat campaigns
The rapid evolution of cyber threats—particularly AI-driven malware—has pushed cybersecurity into a new era. Traditional defenses, which rely heavily on static rules and signature-based detection, are increasingly inadequate against adaptive and autonomous attacks. In response, agentic AI systems have emerged as a transformative solution. These systems, capable of reasoning, planning, and acting autonomously, are redefining […]
Google links malware compromising Axios software to North Korea
A recent statement from Google Threat Intelligence has revealed a concerning new cyberattack strategy linked to a notorious hacking group believed to originate from North Korea. According to researchers, the group attempted to exploit the widely used JavaScript library Axios as a delivery channel for credential-stealing malware, potentially opening the door for unauthorized access to […]
Is Cyber Threat to the Solar Energy Sector Real?
Introduction The rapid expansion of solar energy has transformed global power systems, making them cleaner, smarter, and more decentralized. However, this digital transformation has also introduced a new and often underestimated risk: cyber threats. As solar infrastructure becomes increasingly connected to the internet and integrated with smart grids, it is now a potential target for […]
