The cyber threat space doesn’t pause, and this week makes that clear. New risks, new tactics, and new security gaps are showing up across platforms, tools, and industries — often all at the same time. Some developments are headline-level. Others sit in the background but carry long-term impact. Together, they shape how defenders need to…
We’ve all seen this before: a developer deploys a new cloud workload and grants overly broad permissions just to keep the sprint moving. An engineer generates a “temporary” API key for testing and forgets to revoke it. In the past, these were minor operational risks, debts you’d eventually pay down during a slower cycle. In…

The Acronis Threat Research Unit (TRU) said it observed the activity after January 9, with the attacks designed to deliver a malicious payload that serves as a remote access trojan…
Survey underscores the reality that scammers follow “scalable opportunities and low friction,” rather than rich targets that tend to be better protected.
What is the Attack? The attack involves the threat cluster UNC6201 (a suspected China-nexus Advanced Persistent Threat (APT)) actively exploiting a critical zero-day vulnerability in Dell’s RecoverPoint for Virtual Machines platform. The flaw (CVE-2026-22769) stems from hard-coded credentials embedded within the appliance, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to gain administrative access. Because RecoverPoint is a disaster…
A convincing presale site for phony “Google Coin” features an AI assistant that engages victims with a slick sales pitch, funneling payment to attackers.
CVE-2026-2329 allows unauthenticated root-level access to SMB phone infrastructure, so attackers can intercept calls, commit toll fraud, and impersonate users.
How I realized what I was taught to about threat intelligence was missing something crucial.
A China-related attacker has exploited the vendor flaw since mid-2024, allowing it to move laterally, maintain persistent access, and deploy malware.
