The recent cyberattack on the OnSolve CodeRED system has shocked public safety agencies across the United States, revealing the deep vulnerability of critical emergency-alert infrastructure. The incident was claimed by the INC Ransomware gang, a relatively new, but increasingly active, ransomware-as
The phishing threat landscape continues to evolve rapidly, and recent developments highlight how attackers are combining professional cybercrime platforms with realistic visual deception techniques to bypass user confidence and technical controls. A notable example is the recent evolution of the Sne
In the rapidly evolving world of cybercrime, the Kraken ransomware group stands out for its sophisticated tactics. It benchmarks victim systems before encrypting data. This rare approach allows Kraken to adapt encryption dynamically, maximizing damage while lowering detection risk. Emerging in 2025,
After a six-month hiatus, DanaBot malware has reemerged, signaling the return of one of cybercrime's most adaptive threats. Once a banking trojan, DanaBot has evolved into a modular, multipurpose framework supporting espionage, data theft, and ransomware delivery. Moreover, its return also follows
In November 2025, researchers publicly disclosed a previously unknown Android spyware family, now called Landfall. The security team at Unit 42 (part of Palo Alto Networks) described it in a blog post as "new commercial-grade Android spyware in an exploit chain targeting Samsung devices." The
In a striking demonstration of how cyber-threats adapt to emerging technologies, Microsoft's Incident Response team has uncovered a sophisticated new malware known as SesameOp, which uniquely exploits the OpenAI Assistants API for command-and-control (C2) operations. This discovery marks one of the
The emergence of the Atroposia malware marks another significant step forward in the evolution of cyber threats. Where earlier remote-access trojans (RATs) focused on giving attackers control over compromised computers, Atroposia takes it a step further by combining that control with active intellig
In recent quarters, ransomware threat actors have faced a steep drop in profits as an increasing number of victims refuse to pay. This decline has prompted cybercriminals to reassess their tactics and explore alternative avenues to regain leverage. Ransomware payment rates have sunk to record
In 2025, cybersecurity researchers uncovered a new and unusual scam from a Russian hacking group known as ColdRiver. The group, also known as Star Blizzard or the Callisto Group, had discovered a way to exploit one of the Internet's most familiar security tools, the "I am not a robot" CAPTCHA, and t
A recent campaign demonstrates how modern malvertising, ads pointing to malicious websites, can use legitimate search channels to trick technically sophisticated users into installing powerful macOS information-stealing malware. Operators bought Google Ads that pointed to convincing fake download p
