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

Anthropic’s revelation that hackers linked to China allegedly used its Claude AI system to automate attacks against roughly 30 organizations has ignited one of cybersecurity’s most polarizing debates yet: can artificial intelligence truly orchestrate espionage on its own—or is this another case of overhyped “AI panic” masking a deeper failure of model governance? The Rise of the AI Operator According to Anthropic, the attackers disguised themselves as cybersecurity researcher

A sweeping new analysis from Imprivata has revealed a staggering inefficiency quietly draining the UK and Ireland’s healthcare systems: clinicians are collectively losing millions of hours each year to login screens. But there’s a twist—when single sign-on and access management (SSO/AM) systems are deployed, the time saved translates into both clinical and financial breakthroughs. Logging In—or Losing Out The study, covering 55 hospitals across four nations , represents the
