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 recently encountered a cryptocurrency-mining malware affecting Linux systems. It is notable for being bundled with a rootkit component that hides the malicious process’ presence from monitoring tools.
Securing energy and water should remain top priority in the continuing integration of the industrial internet of things in these critical sectors.
The average organization takes over 30 days to patch operating systems and software, and longer for more complex business applications and systems. This infographic shows how virtual patching solutions can help mitigate threats from vulnerabilities.
Security researchers came across a Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) rootkit in the wild being used for cyberespionage. Named LoJax, the rootkit is reportedly packaged with other tools that modifies the system’s firmware to infect it with malware.
We discovered spam mails abusing EGG (.egg) files to deliver the GandCrab v4.3 ransomware. Additionally, the operators behind the spam mails appear to be specifically going after South Korean users, as evidenced by the use of Hangul in the spam mails.
Data breaches take time and a lot of effort to pull off, but successful breaches can affect not just organizations, but also millions of people. Learn what a data breach is, what types of data is usually stolen, and what happens to stolen data.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) issued a public service announcement (PSA) regarding the continued increase of Business Email Compromise (BEC) scams, which total global losses have already reached over US$12 billion in 2018.
We delved into the rise and fall of Scan4You, the largest counter antivirus service in the underground, its operators, and the ties that bind them to other cybercriminals.
Due to BEC’s evolving and treacherous nature, run-of-the-mill best practices and security solutions have become weak to withstand attacks. Find out how advanced solutions that utilize artificial intelligence and machine learning help in defending against BEC.
This research examines the oft-overlooked infection vectors in today’s healthcare networks: exposed medical devices and supply chain attacks.
