Sovereign AI places responsibility for every layer of the security stack in the operator's hands, and this article examines the threats that accompany that shift alongside the practical controls that keep nationally owned AI systems trustworthy.
TrendAI™ Research's investigation of ICS protocols near U.S. data centers uncovered thousands of vulnerable devices controlling critical cooling, power, and environmental infrastructure. These systems—designed for operational efficiency, not security—were accessible from the public internet.
This final installment of our trilogy on Pwning Agentic AI covers defenses against the return-to-tool (RTT) attacks—read-only Postgres bypass, support-ticket ransomware, and KYC passport exfiltration—demonstrated in Part II. Here we take a look at what works and what doesn’t against this new class of attack.
We take a closer look at an emerging underground market that is driven by malicious actors who sell access to a gargantuan amount of stolen data, frequently advertised in the underground as “cloud of logs."
Threat actors take advantage of the spread of COVID-19 for malicious campaigns. Goods and services related to the virus also appear in underground marketplaces and cybercriminal forums.
Starting this year, Ryuk began using another dropper called BazarLoader (also known as BazarBackdoor), which is primarily distributed via phishing emails that contain either malicious attachments or links to websites that host malware.
We went for a ride on the self-driving bus now being tested in Taiwan. Here are our insights.
A watering hole campaign we dubbed as Operation Earth Kitsune is spying on users’ systems through compromised websites. Using SLUB and two new malware variants, the attacks exploit vulnerabilities including those of Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.
Bulletproof hosting (BPH) services have long been crucial parts of the cybercriminal infrastructure. How do they protect malicious activities, and how do cybercriminals use them to stay in business?
The provision of services, as well as the way criminals operate in the underground, have gone through many changes over the years to cater to the market’s different infrastructure demands.
Hackers spread messages supposedly sent from Instagram Help Center claiming that the user's account is at risk of being deleted.
In our monitoring of Docker-related threats, we came across a threat actor who uploaded malicious images to Docker Hub for cryptocurrency mining.
Serverless computing is not immune to risks and threats. Our security research provides a comprehensive analysis of the possible attack scenarios that could compromise serverless services and deployments.
