Google Mandiant and Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) have disclosed that they are tracking a new cluster of activity possibly linked to a financially motivated threat actor known as Cl0p.
The malicious activity involves sending extortion emails to executives at various organizations and claiming to have stolen sensitive data from their Oracle E-Business Suite.
“This activity began on or

Running a SOC often feels like drowning in alerts. Every morning, dashboards light up with thousands of signals; some urgent, many irrelevant. The job is to find the real threats fast enough to keep cases from piling up, prevent analyst burnout, and maintain client or leadership confidence.
The toughest challenges, however, aren’t the alerts that can be dismissed quickly, but the ones that hide

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered two Android spyware campaigns dubbed ProSpy and ToSpy that impersonate apps like Signal and ToTok to target users in the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.).
Slovak cybersecurity company ESET said the malicious apps are distributed via fake websites and social engineering to trick unsuspecting users into downloading them. Once installed, both the spyware

Researchers uncovered a security flaw in Salesforce’s shiny new Agentforce. The vulnerability, dubbed “ForcedLeak”, let them smuggle AI-read instructions in via humble Web-to-Lead form… and ended up spilling data for the low, low price of five dollars.

And we discuss why data breach communicationss still default to “we take security seriously” while quietly implying “assume no breach” – until the inevitable walk-back.

Plus, we take a look at ITV’s phone-hacking drama with David Tennant, and take a crack at decoding the history of the Rosetta Stone.

Hear all this and more in episode 437 of the “Smashing Security” podcast by cybersecurity veterans Graham Cluley, joined this week by special guest Paul Ducklin.

Most of the apps on your phone is talking to a server somewhere – sending and receiving data through messages sent through APIs, the underlying infrastructure that allows apps to communicate.

And here’s the problem – hackers have determined that the APIs of mobile apps, when left visible and exploitable, can be a goldmine.

In yet another piece of research, academics from Georgia Institute of Technology and Purdue University have demonstrated that the security guarantees offered by Intel’s Software Guard eXtensions (SGX) can be bypassed on DDR4 systems to passively decrypt sensitive data.
SGX is designed as a hardware feature in Intel server processors that allows applications to be run in a Trusted Execution

A high-severity security flaw has been disclosed in the One Identity OneLogin Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution that, if successfully exploited, could expose sensitive OpenID Connect (OIDC) application client secrets under certain circumstances.
The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-59363, has been assigned a CVSS score of 7.7 out of 10.0. It has been described as a case of

AI is changing automation—but not always for the better. That’s why we’re hosting a new webinar, “Workflow Clarity: Where AI Fits in Modern Automation,” with Thomas Kinsella, Co-founder & Chief Customer Officer at Tines, to explore how leading teams are cutting through the hype and building workflows that actually deliver.The rise of AI has changed how organizations think about automation.

A severe security flaw has been disclosed in the Red Hat OpenShift AI service that could allow attackers to escalate privileges and take control of the complete infrastructure under certain conditions.
OpenShift AI is a platform for managing the lifecycle of predictive and generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) models at scale and across hybrid cloud environments. It also facilitates data

Bitdefender’s 2025 Cybersecurity Assessment Report paints a sobering picture of today’s cyber defense landscape: mounting pressure to remain silent after breaches, a gap between leadership and frontline teams, and a growing urgency to shrink the enterprise attack surface.
The annual research combines insights from over 1,200 IT and security professionals across six countries, along with an
