Cybercriminals are attempting to sell what they claim is a massive cache of internal source code linked to Target, igniting fresh concern over how quietly sensitive development systems can be exposed without triggering alarms. The episode surfaced after a previously unknown threat actor posted on a well known underground forum, advertising what was described as sensitive development files allegedly taken from the US retail giant. To bolster the claim, the actor briefly publi

This guest article was contributed by Scott Richards, SVP of AI & Discovery and Cybersecurity at OpenText Enterprises are under growing security pressure in 2026. Data volume continues to multiply. Identity sprawl is expanding across hybrid and cloud environments. Threat actors increasingly use AI to find new attack vectors. And at the same time, AI powered security tools have matured and can now provide context aware, automated protection rather than alarm overload. This cre

The University of Hawaii Cancer Center is facing growing scrutiny after quietly navigating a ransomware attack that compromised decades old cancer research data, then waiting months to inform regulators and affected individuals. According to a report filed with the Hawaii state legislature in December, attackers gained unauthorized access to servers supporting cancer research operations in late August. The intruders encrypted systems, disrupted access to research files, and

Artificial intelligence is no longer just changing how organizations defend themselves online. It is fundamentally reshaping how cybercrime works, compressing the time, cost, and skill required to launch attacks that once demanded large criminal operations or nation-state backing. That is one of the clearest signals emerging from the World Economic Forum’s Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2026 , which finds that cyber-enabled fraud and phishing have overtaken ransomware as the to

As the cybersecurity industry closes the books on 2025, the year is already solidifying around a familiar but unsettling conclusion: attackers didn’t need radically new malware to cause outsized damage. They needed people, timing, and a growing catalog of quietly catastrophic infrastructure flaws. That’s the throughline emerging from a year-end review by incident response specialists at LevelBlue , which absorbed digital forensics heavyweight Stroz Friedberg earlier this year

A flaw buried deep inside enterprise security tooling is once again forcing defenders to confront an uncomfortable truth: the systems designed to protect the network can also become its most dangerous point of failure. This week, Trend Micro issued emergency updates for its on-premises Apex Central management console after researchers disclosed three serious vulnerabilities — including a critical zero-day that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute code remotely with fu
