Inside the $25 Million Bet on AI That Hunts Before Humans Do
Nebulock’s new funding puts a spotlight on a fast-moving corner of security: AI-assisted threat hunting built to turn noisy telemetry into usable detections.
A Ransom Claim With No Victim Name: Why One Hash Is Not Proof
A sparse extortion post, a 64-character digest, and an unnamed target show how little attackers sometimes reveal while still trying to force a response.
When Endpoint Signals Meet AI Control Paths, Security Gets a New Lens
Upwind Security is extending its AI Sensor to bring endpoint activity into the same operational view as cloud context, a move that puts AI actions, identities, MCP connections, and developer risk on one screen.
When the Intruder Logs In Looking Normal, Security Gets Harder
A webinar on account takeover points to a stubborn reality in cloud defense: once an attacker is using a valid identity, the attack can blend into ordinary business activity.
LokiBot’s New Cover Story: Hashes, Legacy Crypto, and a Harder Target for Analysts
A new loader variant shows LokiBot using API hashing and 3DES-encrypted C2 configuration to make static analysis harder.
Why the Network Still Matters When Alerts Only Tell Part of the Story
A renewed case for Network Detection and Response argues that security teams need network evidence, not just alerts, to answer the basic questions that define an investigation.
AI’s Power Bill Is Turning Data Centers Into a Measurable Risk
As cloud and AI workloads spread, the real pressure point is no longer abstract "digital growth" but the physical footprint of power, cooling, water, and site choice.
Nova’s One-Line Claim Shows How Little Proof Ransomware Needs
A named victim, a hash-like string, and no verified website are enough to seed an extortion narrative - even when the technical picture remains thin.
Fewer Breaches, More Extortion, Bigger AI Exposure: 2025 Rewrote the Risk Map
Bitsight’s 2025 telemetry points to a split-screen cyber year: observed breach counts fell, ransomware activity rose, and internet-facing AI services expanded fast enough to reshape the attack surface.
When AI Hits the Wire: The Network Becomes the Real Gatekeeper
Enterprise AI is often treated as a model problem, but production deployments can succeed or fail on whether the network can carry synchronized, low-latency, high-volume traffic without losing control.
The Access Broker Problem: Why a New RAT Matters More Than a Single Malware Name
Mistic RAT is the latest reminder that ransomware often begins long before encryption, inside a market where footholds can be traded across multiple criminal crews.
When the Twin Lies Back: Spoofing Threats That Can Push Industry Off Course
A digital twin is only as truthful as the telemetry behind it, and AI can make forged inputs easier to scale without changing the core problem: trust.
When AI Training Starts Watching Employees, Security Becomes the Product
A paused internal AI program shows how raw telemetry, broad access, and weak control design can turn workplace data into an internal risk surface.
Leak-Site Naming Alone Is Not Proof: The Eye-Care Case Exposes Ransomware’s Pressure Playbook
A public victim listing can be a threat signal, not a verified breach, and that distinction matters when the named organization handles medical and billing records.
Cloud and AI Put IT Sustainability on the Executive Risk Map
Digital infrastructure is no longer just a cost center: when cloud, data centers, and AI scale together, sustainability becomes a measurable operating problem with financial and governance consequences.
Meta’s Mouse-Tracking Experiment Hits a Privacy Wall
An internal AI training program built on employee mouse, click, and keystroke data has been paused after a data exposure, showing how quickly behavioral telemetry can turn into a sensitive security asset.
Claimed Ransomware Strike Puts Primax’s Distributed Business Model Under the Microscope
An alleged Aurora intrusion against Corporación Primax S.A. is a reminder that extortion claims matter most when they intersect with large, geographically spread operations.
The Alert Queue Is Not the Whole Battlefield
A recent threat-hunting piece built around ANY.RUN research underscores a simple problem: some suspicious activity never becomes an alert, so defenders have to look for behavior, not just notifications.
When the Numbers Lie: The Quiet OT and IoT Attack That Changes Reality
A manipulation attack does not have to stop a plant to do damage - it can quietly distort the data operators trust, turning process visibility into a false sense of safety.
The AI Metric Trap: When Token Counts Start Rewarding Waste
Using token consumption to drive AI adoption can create a leaderboard for spending, not a scorecard for value.
