One of the most concerning trends is the rise in successful account takeovers within cloud platfor

A new phishing campaign is quietly turning everyday “free reward” emails into a global data theft machine, according to fresh research from KnowBe4 Threat Labs.

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
