The federal vulnerability management conversation has been stuck in a loop for years. Everyone agrees that patching happens too slowly, and the diagnosis generally blames budget, headcount or tooling. That diagnosis is wrong. The real friction is structural, and it lives in the processes and policies that govern how we assess compliance and risk, and...Read More

Google, in its latest Fraud & Scams Advisory, separately highlighted the evolution of traditional phishing into Adversary-in-the-Middle (AITM) and QR-code phishing attacks while documenting growing abuse of trusted cloud services, AI-driven investment scams, and impersonation campaigns. While Microsoft’s advisory focuses on AI-branded lures and Google’s examines broader fraud trends, both point to attackers evolving established...Read More

One North Korean group accounted for nearly half of all state-sponsored hacks on tech...Read More

In brief Researchers demonstrated an AI-powered worm that can find vulnerabilities, generate attack plans, and spread autonomously across a network. Unlike most earlier versions, the malware runs on infected machines using open-weight models rather than cloud services. The authors argue that the work shows AI-driven cyberattacks have moved beyond theory. Advances in AI agents may...Read More

By Dereus Caldwell  Key takeaways Now is the time to rethink your organization’s endpoint security; the AI era makes it more critical than ever.
