Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of a cyber attack targeting a major U.S.-based real-estate company that involved the use of a nascent command-and-control (C2) and red teaming framework known as Tuoni.
“The campaign leveraged the emerging Tuoni C2 framework, a relatively new, command-and-control (C2) tool (with a free license) that delivers stealthy, in-memory payloads,”

Suspected espionage-driven threat actors from Iran have been observed deploying backdoors like TWOSTROKE and DEEPROOT as part of continued attacks aimed at aerospace, aviation, and defense industries in the Middle East.
The activity has been attributed by Google-owned Mandiant to a threat cluster tracked as UNC1549 (aka Nimbus Manticore or Subtle Snail), which was first documented by the threat

You’ve probably already moved some of your business to the cloud—or you’re planning to. That’s a smart move. It helps you work faster, serve your customers better, and stay ahead.
But as your cloud setup grows, it gets harder to control who can access what.
Even one small mistake—like the wrong person getting access—can lead to big problems. We’re talking data leaks, legal trouble, and serious

Identity security fabric (ISF) is a unified architectural framework that brings together disparate identity capabilities. Through ISF, identity governance and administration (IGA), access management (AM), privileged access management (PAM), and identity threat detection and response (ITDR) are all integrated into a single, cohesive control plane.
Building on Gartner’s definition of “identity

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a set of seven npm packages published by a single threat actor that leverages a cloaking service called Adspect to differentiate between real victims and security researchers to ultimately redirect them to sketchy crypto-themed sites.
The malicious npm packages, published by a threat actor named “dino_reborn” between September and November 2025, are

One of the sad truths about this world of seemingly endless hacks and data breaches is that companies just won’t apologise.

Even when customers, partners, and employees are left wondering when their data will be published by malicious hackers on the dark web, breached organisations will seemingly do everything they can to avoid saying what seems to be the hardest word of all: sorry.

Microsoft on Monday disclosed that it automatically detected and neutralized a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack targeting a single endpoint in Australia that measured 5.72 terabits per second (Tbps) and nearly 3.64 billion packets per second (pps).
The tech giant said it was the largest DDoS attack ever observed in the cloud, and that it originated from a TurboMirai-class Internet of

Google on Monday released security updates for its Chrome browser to address two security flaws, including one that has come under active exploitation in the wild.
The vulnerability in question is CVE-2025-13223 (CVSS score: 8.8), a type confusion vulnerability in the V8 JavaScript and WebAssembly engine that could be exploited to achieve arbitrary code execution or program crashes.
“Type

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered malware campaigns using the now-prevalent ClickFix social engineering tactic to deploy Amatera Stealer and NetSupport RAT.
The activity, observed this month, is being tracked by eSentire under the moniker EVALUSION.
First spotted in June 2025, Amatera is assessed to be an evolution of ACR (short for “AcridRain”) Stealer, which was available under the

This week showed just how fast things can go wrong when no one’s watching. Some attacks were silent and sneaky. Others used tools we trust every day — like AI, VPNs, or app stores — to cause damage without setting off alarms.
It’s not just about hacking anymore. Criminals are building systems to make money, spy, or spread malware like it’s a business. And in some cases, they’re using the same
