Researchers have developed an incident-aware framework that uses machine learning to detect and prioritize URL-based cyber threats in Industry 4.0 environments. The system combines penetration testing with real-time prevention to protect smart factories and IoT networks. This approach addresses crit
Social engineering attacks powered by artificial intelligence are driving unprecedented financial losses, with the FBI reporting $16.6 billion in cybercrime damages last year. Voice cloning technology now makes synthetic calls indistinguishable from genuine ones, enabling sophisticated vishing scams that bypass traditional security measures.
Cybercriminals are weaponizing artificial intelligence to scale social engineering attacks with frightening efficiency, according to recent industry analyses. The FBI’s 2024 Internet Crime Report reveals the staggering impact: $16.6 billion in losses from nearly 860,000 complaints, representing a 33% surge from the previous year. What’s particularly alarming security experts is how phishing and spoofing dominated the crime landscape with over 193,000 incidents.
Cyberattacks against federal employees have nearly doubled since the government shutdown began October 1, according to security researchers. The crisis exposes critical vulnerabilities in national security infrastructure as financially stressed workers become prime targets for sophisticated phishing campaigns.
Federal cybersecurity defenses are facing their most severe test in recent memory as the government shutdown enters its fourth week. According to analysis from security firm Media Trust, cyberattacks against government agencies have surged by 85% since October 1, with researchers projecting a staggering 555 million attacks by month’s end.
Security researchers are reporting a sophisticated phishing campaign targeting LastPass users with fake death certificate notifications. The attacks leverage the password manager’s legitimate Emergency Access feature to create convincing social engineering scenarios. According to analysis, threat actors are using fake login pages and voice phishing to steal master passwords and stored passkeys.
Security researchers are sounding the alarm about an unusually sophisticated phishing campaign that’s targeting LastPass users with a particularly clever twist: fake death certificate notifications. According to reports from Bleeping Computer, attackers are weaponizing the password manager’s legitimate “Emergency Access” feature to create convincing social engineering scenarios.
A sophisticated phishing operation attributed to Iranian threat actor MuddyWater has compromised email accounts to distribute malware globally. The campaign uses malicious Word documents to deploy backdoors and credential stealers against high-value targets.
Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a sophisticated global phishing campaign that leverages compromised email accounts to distribute malware, according to reports from threat intelligence firm Group-IB. The espionage operation, attributed with high confidence to the Iran-linked threat actor known as MuddyWater, has targeted international organizations across multiple regions in what analysts suggest is an intelligence-gathering initiative.
Cybersecurity researchers uncovered a massive unprotected database containing 40 billion records with sensitive personal information. The exposure highlights ongoing vulnerabilities in corporate data protection practices despite increasing digital threats.
In what cybersecurity analysts are calling one of the largest data exposures of 2025, approximately 40 billion records were found sitting completely unsecured in a publicly accessible database. According to reports, the unprotected data repository contained everything from email addresses and message subjects to sensitive banking and healthcare information, with researchers noting they “saw numerous records marked as confidential” during their investigation.
