This guest article was contributed by Aviral Verma, Head of Research, Securin Ransomware remains one of the most dangerous cyber threats in 2026. Not because it’s new, but because it’s faster, more scalable and increasingly powered by AI. Attackers are using AI to automate malware, refine phishing and chain exploits with unprecedented efficiency, while defenders rely on it to improve detection and response. Securin’s latest Ransomware Index Report shows that in 2025, ransom

A high-profile cyberattack targeting one of the world’s most widely used education platforms has escalated into a multi-stage extortion campaign, raising fresh concerns about SaaS security, identity risk, and third-party dependencies across higher education. The hacking collective ShinyHunters claims it breached systems tied to Instructure, the company behind Canvas LMS, not once but twice in recent weeks. The timing has amplified the impact. Both incidents coincided with fin

In a move that underscores the tension between national security and operational cybersecurity, the Federal Communications Commission has extended temporary waivers allowing certain foreign-made routers and drones already deployed in the United States to continue receiving critical software and firmware updates through January 1, 2029.

A growing wave of AI-powered scams is reshaping how Americans interact with one of the most basic forms of communication: the phone call. New research from Truecaller suggests the threat has reached a tipping point, where fear of fraud is now actively disrupting everyday life and business operations. According to the company’s 2026 Phone Fraud and AI Threat Survey, scam activity has evolved from a persistent annoyance into a systemic trust breakdown. The data shows that a maj

A security incident at Vercel is highlighting a dangerous shift in how attackers are breaching modern cloud environments. The company confirmed that hackers accessed internal systems and customer data after exploiting a compromised third-party AI integration, reinforcing warnings that identity-based attacks are now outpacing traditional infrastructure exploits. The breach originated from Context AI, whose application was connected to a Vercel employee’s corporate Google accou

A brief but high-impact compromise of CPUID’s official website has exposed a growing weakness in the modern software supply chain. For less than 24 hours, attackers hijacked download links for widely used system utilities, replacing legitimate installers with malware-laced packages designed to silently establish remote access on victim machines. The incident, which unfolded between April 9 and April 10, targeted users attempting to download tools such as CPU-Z and HWMonitor.
