A near-miss episode of attempted defunding spotlights a need for a better way

The threat actors lace pre-downloaded applications with malware to steal cryptocurrency by covertly swapping users’ wallet addresses with their own.

The president revoked the former CISA director’s security clearance, half a decade after Krebs challenged right-wing election disinformation, prompting his eventual resignation.

The AI security startup has already made waves with critical vulnerability discoveries and seeks to address emerging AI concerns with its PromptArmor platform.

After threatening to slash support for the CVE program, CISA threw MITRE a lifeline at the last minute — extending its government contract for another 11 months. After that, it looks like it’s up to the private sector to find the cash to keep it going.

The China-linked threat actor known as Mustang Panda has been attributed to a cyber attack targeting an unspecified organization in Myanmar with previously unreported tooling, highlighting continued effort by the threat actors to increase the sophistication and effectiveness of their malware.
