Hyper Volumetric DDoS Attacks surge in 2026, raising the Cybersecurity Stakes
The first half of 2026 has seen a significant escalation in Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks, with threat actors increasingly deploying hyper-volumetric attacks capable of generating unprecedented levels of malicious traffic. According to the latest research from network security provider Cloudflare, DDoS activity has surged sharply, while attacks exceeding 1 terabit per second (Tbps) are becoming […]
Can AI Distillation be treated as a Cyber Attack
Artificial intelligence (AI) distillation is a technique in which a smaller or more efficient “student” model learns from a larger “teacher” model. It is widely used to reduce computational costs, improve inference speed, and deploy AI systems on devices with limited resources. However, the concept of distillation has also raised an important cybersecurity question: Can […]
