Threat actors with links to the Play ransomware family exploited a recently patched security flaw in Microsoft Windows as a zero-day as part of an attack targeting an unnamed organization in the United States.
The attack, per the Symantec Threat Hunter Team, part of Broadcom, leveraged CVE-2025-29824, a privilege escalation flaw in the Common Log File System (CLFS) driver. It was patched by

Threat actors have been observed actively exploiting security flaws in GeoVision end-of-life (EoL) Internet of Things (IoT) devices to corral them into a Mirai botnet for conducting distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks.
The activity, first observed by the Akamai Security Intelligence and Response Team (SIRT) in early April 2025, involves the exploitation of two operating system command

Cybersecurity researchers have lifted the lid on two threat actors that orchestrate investment scams through spoofed celebrity endorsements and conceal their activity through traffic distribution systems (TDSes).
The activity clusters have been codenamed Reckless Rabbit and Ruthless Rabbit by DNS threat intelligence firm Infoblox.
The attacks have been observed to lure victims with bogus

It wasn’t ransomware headlines or zero-day exploits that stood out most in this year’s Verizon 2025 Data Breach Investigations Report (DBIR) — it was what fueled them. Quietly, yet consistently, two underlying factors played a role in some of the worst breaches: third-party exposure and machine credential abuse.
According to the 2025 DBIR, third-party involvement in breaches doubled

Microsoft has warned that using pre-made templates, such as out-of-the-box Helm charts, during Kubernetes deployments could open the door to misconfigurations and leak valuable data.
“While these ‘plug-and-play’ options greatly simplify the setup process, they often prioritize ease of use over security,” Michael Katchinskiy and Yossi Weizman from the Microsoft Defender for Cloud Research team

Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) is the backbone of modern identity management, enabling secure access to the applications, data, and services your business relies on. As hybrid work and cloud adoption accelerate, Entra ID plays an even more central role — managing authentication, enforcing policy, and connecting users across distributed environments.
That prominence also

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed a series of now-patched security vulnerabilities in Apple’s AirPlay protocol that, if successfully exploited, could enable an attacker to take over susceptible devices supporting the proprietary wireless technology.
The shortcomings have been collectively codenamed AirBorne by Israeli cybersecurity company Oligo.
“These vulnerabilities can be chained by

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has added a maximum-severity security flaw impacting Commvault Command Center to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog, a little over a week after it was publicly disclosed.
The vulnerability in question is CVE-2025-34028 (CVSS score: 10.0), a path traversal bug that affects 11.38 Innovation Release, from versions

What if attackers aren’t breaking in—they’re already inside, watching, and adapting?
This week showed a sharp rise in stealth tactics built for long-term access and silent control. AI is being used to shape opinions. Malware is hiding inside software we trust. And old threats are returning under new names. The real danger isn’t just the breach—it’s not knowing who’s still lurking in your

Let’s be honest: if you’re one of the first (or the first) security hires at a small or midsize business, chances are you’re also the unofficial CISO, SOC, IT Help Desk, and whatever additional roles need filling. You’re not running a security department. You are THE security department. You’re getting pinged about RFPs in one area, and reviewing phishing alerts in another, all while sifting
