Hacking

A new discipline, machine learning security operations (MLSecOps), has emerged to provide a foundation for robust AI security. Let’s explore five foundational categories within MLSecOps.

Deception is critical to the malevolent activity of Black Hat hackers, but, as Microsoft recently showed, it can also be a powerful weapon against those hackers.

These attacks present broader risks that can impact critical infrastructure such as health care systems, autonomous vehicles, financial markets, national security, and military applications.

Cybersecurity experts and government officials have long supported the policy of not paying ransoms due to its potential to curb criminal activity and reduce attacks. Paying ransoms is risky and unreliable and does not guarantee that cybercriminals will restore access or decrypt files.

By offering pre-packed, plug-and-play malware, the MaaS market has enabled even inexperienced attackers to carry out potentially disruptive attacks regardless of their skill level or technical ability.

The US$75 million payment made to the Dark Angels ransomware group was discovered by Zscaler's security research arm ThreatLabz earlier this year.

Security risk management software firm Panorays shed new light on the worsening network security problems workers cause. This internal threat occurs when employees use their organization's network to experiment with generative AI and other AI tools.

Cat-phishing, using a popular Microsoft file transfer tool to become a network parasite, and bogus invoicing are among the notable techniques cybercriminals deployed during the first three months of 2024, according to the quarterly HP Wolf Security Threat Insights Report.

To effectively counteract the sophisticated threats posed by deepfake technologies, organizations must enhance their identity and access management systems with the latest advancements in detection and encryption technologies. This proactive approach will not only reinforce the security of biometric...

Brute force cracking of passwords takes longer now than in the past, but the good news is not a cause for celebration, according to the latest annual audit of password cracking times released Tuesday by Hive Systems.

In 2021, cybercrime caused global damages that cost $6 trillion -- approximately $2 trillion more than the GDP of Japan -- the country with the world’s third-largest economy.

The research, based on a survey of nearly 3,000 IT and security professionals across 14 countries, found that 94% of organizations hit by ransomware in the past year said that the threat actors attempted to compromise their backups during the attack.

Rather than waiting for the next big cyberattack and hoping they have the right defenses in place, security leaders are now more than ever implementing a proactive approach to cybersecurity by identifying and addressing security gaps before attackers find and exploit them.

Better cybersecurity may soon come to a mobile app you use in time to defend against a rising wave of data breaches, malware assaults, and AI-powered bot attacks.
