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.

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.

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

The threat actors known as Golden Chickens have been attributed to two new malware families dubbed TerraStealerV2 and TerraLogger, suggesting continued development efforts to fine-tune and diversify their arsenal.
“TerraStealerV2 is designed to collect browser credentials, cryptocurrency wallet data, and browser extension information,” Recorded Future Insikt Group said. “TerraLogger, by contrast

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered three malicious Go modules that include obfuscated code to fetch next-stage payloads that can irrevocably overwrite a Linux system’s primary disk and render it unbootable.
The names of the packages are listed below –

An Iranian state-sponsored threat group has been attributed to a long-term cyber intrusion aimed at a critical national infrastructure (CNI) in the Middle East that lasted nearly two years.
The activity, which lasted from at least May 2023 to February 2025, entailed “extensive espionage operations and suspected network prepositioning – a tactic often used to maintain persistent access for future
