Organizations worldwide are inadvertently storing user passwords in plain text within Active Directory (AD) description fields, creating a critical security vulnerability. This widespread practice bypasses password hashing mechanisms and grants unauthorized access to anyone with basic AD read permis
Global web traffic has reached a historic tipping point: automated bots now generate more traffic than human users for the first time ever. Recent data reveals that bot traffic accounts for 52-55% of all internet activity, with malicious bots representing a significant portion of this automated traf
Commvault warns organizations that traditional backup strategies are failing against AI-enhanced attacks that leave systems in a “dark, dead” state. Modern threat actors leverage artificial intelligence to identify and destroy backup systems before deploying ransomware, rendering recovery impossible
Microsoft has announced Scout, an always-on AI agent designed to integrate deeply with Microsoft 365 applications including Teams, Outlook, and other productivity tools. While promising enhanced productivity through continuous monitoring and intelligent assistance, Scout introduces significant secur
Microsoft, Atom Computing, and EeroQ have announced significant quantum computing advances that push the technology closer to practical applications. While these breakthroughs promise revolutionary computational capabilities, they accelerate the timeline for quantum computers to break current encryp
Researchers have discovered a sophisticated technique allowing signal jammers to evade detection by anti-jamming systems through “beam bending”—a method that manipulates radio frequency propagation patterns to disguise jamming attacks as legitimate signals. This advancement poses significant risks t
Security researchers have uncovered a critical vulnerability in Google’s Gemini AI assistant that allows attackers to execute prompt injection attacks through popular messaging platforms including WhatsApp, Slack, and SMS. By exploiting Gemini’s deep integration with Google Workspace and messaging a
Five critical zero-day vulnerabilities in OpenClaw, a popular AI agent orchestration framework, allow attackers to hijack legitimate AI agent sessions, execute arbitrary code, and manipulate agent behaviors. The flaws affect authentication mechanisms, input validation, and session management, enabli
Organizations face a critical blind spot in their security posture: “identity dark matter”—the vast collection of orphaned accounts, shadow identities, and forgotten access permissions that exist beyond traditional IAM visibility. These invisible identities create an exploitable attack surface that
OpenAI has granted UK banking institutions early access to GPT-5.5 capabilities following Anthropic’s decision to exclude financial services from its Glasswing enterprise AI expansion. This strategic divergence highlights competing approaches to AI deployment in high-security sectors, with UK financ
