Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed what they say is a “critical design flaw” in delegated Managed Service Accounts (dMSAs) introduced in Windows Server 2025.
“The flaw can result in high-impact attacks, enabling cross-domain lateral movement and persistent access to all managed service accounts and their resources across Active Directory indefinitely,” Semperis said in a report shared with

The AI gold rush is on. But without identity-first security, every deployment becomes an open door. Most organizations secure native AI like a web app, but it behaves more like a junior employee with root access and no manager.
From Hype to High Stakes
Generative AI has moved beyond the hype cycle. Enterprises are:

Deploying LLM copilots to accelerate software development
Automating customer

Google on Tuesday rolled out fixes for six security issues in its Chrome web browser, including one that it said has been exploited in the wild.
The high-severity vulnerability in question is CVE-2025-6558 (CVSS score: 8.8), which has been described as an incorrect validation of untrusted input in the browser’s ANGLE and GPU components.
“Insufficient validation of untrusted input in ANGLE and

Social engineering attacks have entered a new era—and they’re coming fast, smart, and deeply personalized.
It’s no longer just suspicious emails in your spam folder. Today’s attackers use generative AI, stolen branding assets, and deepfake tools to mimic your executives, hijack your social channels, and create convincing fakes of your website, emails, and even voice. They don’t just spoof—they

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a new, sophisticated variant of a known Android malware referred to as Konfety that leverages the evil twin technique to enable ad fraud.

Google on Tuesday revealed that its large language model (LLM)-assisted vulnerability discovery framework discovered a security flaw in the SQLite open-source database engine before it could have been exploited in the wild.
The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-6965 (CVSS score: 7.2), is a memory corruption flaw affecting all versions prior to 3.50.2. It was discovered by Big Sleep, an

Cloudflare on Tuesday said it mitigated 7.3 million distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks in the second quarter of 2025, a significant drop from 20.5 million DDoS attacks it fended off the previous quarter.
“Overall, in Q2 2025, hyper-volumetric DDoS attacks skyrocketed,” Omer Yoachimik and Jorge Pacheco said. “Cloudflare blocked over 6,500 hyper-volumetric DDoS attacks, an average of 71

Cybersecurity researchers have shed light on a new ransomware-as-a-service (RaaS) operation called GLOBAL GROUP that has targeted a wide range of sectors in Australia, Brazil, Europe, and the United States since its emergence in early June 2025.
GLOBAL GROUP was “promoted on the Ramp4u forum by the threat actor known as ‘$$$,'” EclecticIQ researcher Arda Büyükkaya said. “The same actor controls

In episode 59 of The AI Fix, our hosts ponder whether AIs need a “disagreement dial”, Mark wonders what he could do with an AI-powered “drug design engine”, Graham plays Wolfenstein instead of working, a robot graduates from high school, and a popular rock group is unmasked as an AI fever dream.

Graham explains why Grok thinks it’s Mecha Hitler, and Mark reveals which AI is most likely to betray you.

All this and much more is discussed in the latest edition of “The AI Fix” podcast by Graham Cluley and Mark Stockley.
