Cyber criminals have managed to bypass Android's security mechanisms and infect over 60 million users worldwide with malware. Experts from Bitdefender Labs discovered a large-scale malware campaign with over 330 infected apps.
The ransomware group BlackBasta has developed a powerful tool to automate brute force attacks on edge network devices such as firewalls and VPNs. The framework, called "BRUTED", allows attackers to crack targeted credentials and scale ransomware attacks on vulnerable networks.
In January 2025, Arctic Wolf's threat research team observed suspicious activity on Fortinet FortiGate firewall devices being exploited by the new SuperBlack ransomware. This vulnerability could jeopardize companies that have not yet applied the patch and highlights the growing threat of targeted cyberattacks.
Researchers from IT security company ESET have uncovered a serious security vulnerability (CVE-2025-24983) in older versions of Windows. The vulnerability allowed hackers to execute malicious code on affected computers using a zero-day exploit.
Following an intensive investigation dating back to mid-2024, the security company Mandiant has uncovered a covert espionage campaign by the China-linked group UNC3886. Specially developed malware was discovered on decommissioned Junos OS routers from Juniper Networks.
The notorious advanced persistent threat (APT) group SideWinder has refined its attack tactics and significantly expanded its geographical reach. According to recent analyses by Kaspersky, the group is now specifically targeting nuclear power plants and energy facilities.
The age of artificial intelligence has only just begun, and the next tech revolution is right around the corner: quantum computing. Discover why it is worthwhile for companies to look at specific applications and the impact on their business.
Unstructured data – i.e., text, videos, images, social media posts, and more – makes up the bulk of the world’s data, with 80-90% of all data falling into this category. As such, it represents a virtual gold mine of insights, just hiding and waiting to give savvy businesses a leg up on the competition.
Since the discovery of LLMJacking by the Sysdig Threat Research Team (TRT) in May 2024, this threat vector has evolved rapidly. Just as large language models (LLMs) are constantly improving and finding new applications, cybercriminals are also adapting and using new ways to gain unauthorized access to these powerful systems.
Quantum computers will fundamentally change the way we look at humanity's most complex problems. They promise new insights, from materials science to medicine and climate research. However, this future technology is also challenging established standards in cyber security.
