Breaking Cybersecurity. No Filter.
Threat actors are now cloning the faces and voices of C-suite executives with off-the-shelf AI tools to run hyper-convincing social engineering attacks against corporate employees. The scam is frighteningly simple to execute, and your existing security training almost certainly won't catch it. We dug into how it works — and why it's spreading fast.
A new class of malware is hitting enterprise networks and leaving behind absolutely nothing — no files, no logs, no evidence. Self-destructing code is turning traditional incident response into a ghost hunt, and most security teams aren't even close to ready for it.
The tools developers trust most — REPLs, live code runners, and interactive debuggers — are quietly being turned into weapons. Attackers have figured out that the fastest way onto a developer's machine isn't a phishing email. It's a helpful utility that fits right into the daily grind.
Attackers aren't bothering to crack your code anymore — they're going after the machines that compile it. A wave of sophisticated intrusions targeting CI/CD build infrastructure is quietly turning trusted software pipelines into delivery vehicles for enterprise-grade malware, and most security teams aren't even looking in the right direction.
Security teams are getting played by convincing-but-fake threat intelligence generated by AI models that simply made things up. From fabricated CVEs to ghost advisories, attackers are learning to weaponize the one thing defenders trust most — their own tools.
Your Amazon Echo and Google Nest aren't just waiting for wake words — they're part of a sprawling data pipeline that funnels behavioral audio signals to brokers you've never heard of. We dug into the technical reality of what these devices actually capture, which companies have the worst records, and the legal loopholes that make all of it completely above board.
Security teams spend millions locking down endpoints, firewalls, and cloud infrastructure — then leave the $400 multifunction printer in the corner completely unpatched for three years. Attackers have noticed. Here's how they're walking through that open door and what your team can do before the next breach audit finds it first.
Attackers are no longer just guessing passwords — they're synthetically rebuilding your face. A new wave of AI-generated video attacks is quietly dismantling the biometric authentication systems that enterprises and consumers were told were unbreakable. Here's what's actually happening on the front lines.
The people you've hired to protect your organization may already be compromised — not through malware, but through manipulation. A growing body of evidence shows threat actors are deliberately studying security team dynamics, access privileges, and internal culture to flip defenders into unwitting accomplices. Here's how it happens, and why most companies never see it coming.
You changed your password. You enabled MFA. You did everything right — and they still got in. The dirty secret of modern authentication is that your password is often the least interesting thing an attacker wants. What they're really after is already sitting in your browser's memory, waiting to be scooped up.
Security engineers spend their careers learning to spot manipulation — and attackers know it. The most dangerous social engineering campaigns aren't aimed at the receptionist or the new hire anymore. They're precision-crafted for the people who are supposed to stop them, and they're working.
Modern social engineering attacks aren't just spoofing email addresses anymore — they're spoofing entire corporate identities. Threat actors are spending weeks studying org charts, internal lingo, office politics, and team dynamics before making a single move. The result is attacks so culturally fluent that even security-aware employees get fooled, and the playbook is getting more sophisticated by the month.
Researchers are sounding the alarm on a new class of supply chain attack that doesn't target your code — it targets the AI models you're plugging directly into production. Poisoned neural networks are quietly making their way through Hugging Face, GitHub, and other popular repositories, carrying malicious behaviors that no antivirus on earth will catch. Here's what's actually happening, and why the security community is only beginning to understand the scope.
Generative AI didn't just make phishing emails better-written — it made them personal, scalable, and nearly impossible to catch with traditional filters. Security researchers are documenting a new generation of AI-assisted social engineering attacks that can clone communication styles, adapt in real time, and defeat the defenses most organizations have spent years building. This is what that looks like from the inside.
The security industry declared passwords dead years ago. FIDO2, WebAuthn, and passkeys were supposed to bury them for good. But walk into almost any American enterprise in 2024 and you'll find the same sticky notes on monitors, the same quarterly password resets, and the same help desk tickets about forgotten credentials. Here's why the post-password future is taking forever to arrive.
There's a thriving underground economy where a single undisclosed software flaw can fetch more than a luxury car — or a house. We dug into the murky world of zero-day trading to find out who's buying, who's selling, and what it means for every enterprise security team trying to keep the lights on.
Generative AI didn't just make phishing emails better — it made them terrifyingly personal. The old tells are gone, and the attacks are scaling in ways that traditional email security simply wasn't built for. Here's what's actually happening out there, and what you can realistically do about it.
Password managers are supposed to be the gold standard of personal security hygiene. But a string of high-profile breaches has security professionals asking an uncomfortable question: is storing every credential you own in one place actually brilliant — or is it the biggest single point of failure you've ever created?
Attackers have figured out that they don't need to break down your front door if they can slip something nasty into the lumber you're using to build it. Supply chain attacks targeting npm, PyPI, and other package ecosystems are skyrocketing — and most dev teams are flying blind.
Ransomware isn't a hacker in a hoodie anymore — it's a full-blown criminal enterprise with affiliate programs, SLAs, and customer support portals. We break down how the Ransomware-as-a-Service economy became a $50 million juggernaut, why US companies keep getting hit hardest, and what the latest law enforcement crackdowns actually accomplish.
