If you want to understand why cyberattacks keep landing harder and faster, look beyond attacker TTPs and into the boardroom. A new study from VikingCloud reveals a widening psychological fault line inside organizations — one that’s quietly eroding resilience from within. Nine in ten frontline cybersecurity managers say attacks are hitting more frequently, and 88% say those attacks have grown more severe in the past year. Yet in the corner office, that urgency drops to 77% an

Ransomware crews didn’t wait for Black Friday to get busy. New data from NCC Group shows global attacks spiked 41% in October, surging to 594 incidents — an abrupt jump that signals cybercriminals are already gearing up for the year’s most profitable stretch. October traditionally marks the beginning of ransomware’s “golden quarter,” when the mix of holiday shopping, frantic IT teams, and supply-chain pressure creates an unusually rich attack surface. This year’s early wave

Security operations centers are cracking under pressure. According to new research from the Enterprise Strategy Group (now part of Omdia) commissioned by Vectra AI , defenders are contending with an unprecedented wave of threats — in both scale and sophistication — as attackers increasingly harness AI to automate reconnaissance, mimic legitimate traffic, and blend into the digital noise. The report, The Role of Network Visibility in Protecting Modern Environments , paints a c

When VulnCheck first reported active exploitation of CVE-2025-24893 in late October, the attacks appeared to stem from a small number of opportunistic actors abusing exposed XWiki servers. Two weeks later, that has changed dramatically.According to new Canary Intelligence  data from VulnCheck, exploitation has exploded across the internet, attracting everything from crypto-miners and botnets to custom-built scanning tools and manual intrusion attempts. From Niche Exploit to

Black Friday has always been a hacker’s holiday. But according to new research from Forcepoint , this year’s threats are more advanced—and more convincing—than ever. Cybercriminals are now wielding artificial intelligence to clone legitimate shopping sites, mimic trusted retailers, and launch phishing campaigns that are virtually impossible to distinguish from the real thing. Forcepoint’s Findings: AI Turns Holiday Scams into Precision Attacks Forcepoint analysts say AI has f
