The maintainers of the WinRAR file archiving utility have released an update to address an actively exploited zero-day vulnerability.
Tracked as CVE-2025-8088 (CVSS score: 8.8), the issue has been described as a case of path traversal affecting the Windows version of the tool that could be exploited to obtain arbitrary code execution by crafting malicious archive files.
“When extracting a file,

A novel attack technique could be weaponized to rope thousands of public domain controllers (DCs) around the world to create a malicious botnet and use it to conduct power distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks.
The approach has been codenamed Win-DDoS by SafeBreach researchers Or Yair and Shahak Morag, who presented their findings at the DEF CON 33 security conference today.
“As we

Cybersecurity researchers have presented new findings related to a now-patched security issue in Microsoft’s Windows Remote Procedure Call (RPC) communication protocol that could be abused by an attacker to conduct spoofing attacks and impersonate a known server.
The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-49760 (CVSS score: 3.5), has been described by the tech giant as a Windows Storage spoofing bug

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed vulnerabilities in select model webcams from Lenovo that could turn them into BadUSB attack devices.
“This allows remote attackers to inject keystrokes covertly and launch attacks independent of the host operating system,” Eclypsium researchers Paul Asadoorian, Mickey Shkatov, and Jesse Michael said in a report shared with The Hacker News.
The

Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered multiple security flaws in Dell’s ControlVault3 firmware and its associated Windows APIs that could have been abused by attackers to bypass Windows login, extract cryptographic keys, as well as maintain access even after a fresh operating system install by deploying undetectable malicious implants into the firmware.
The vulnerabilities have been codenamed

Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered a jailbreak technique to bypass ethical guardrails erected by OpenAI in its latest large language model (LLM) GPT-5 and produce illicit instructions.
Generative artificial intelligence (AI) security platform NeuralTrust said it combined a known technique called Echo Chamber with narrative-driven steering to trick the model into producing undesirable

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered over a dozen vulnerabilities in enterprise secure vaults from CyberArk and HashiCorp that, if successfully exploited, can allow remote attackers to crack open corporate identity systems and extract enterprise secrets and tokens from them. 
The 14 vulnerabilities, collectively named Vault Fault, affect CyberArk Secrets Manager, Self-Hosted, and

A new documentary series about cybercrime airing next month on HBO Max features interviews with Yours Truly. The four-part series follows the exploits of Julius Kivimäki, a prolific Finnish hacker recently convicted of leaking tens of thousands of patient records from an online psychotherapy practice while attempting to extort the clinic and its patients.

Cybersecurity researchers are drawing attention to a new campaign that’s using legitimate generative artificial intelligence (AI)-powered website building tools like DeepSite AI and BlackBox AI to create replica phishing pages mimicking Brazilian government agencies as part of a financially motivated campaign.
The activity involves the creation of lookalike sites imitating Brazil’s State

When an organization’s credentials are leaked, the immediate consequences are rarely visible—but the long-term impact is far-reaching. Far from the cloak-and-dagger tactics seen in fiction, many real-world cyber breaches begin with something deceptively simple: a username and password.
According to Verizon’s 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report, leaked credentials accounted for 22% of breaches
