Q2 2026 brought 578 recorded cyber incidents worldwide, with financially-motivated cyber crime accounting for over 71% of the total. Malware remained the attacker’s weapon of choice, exploiting public-facing applications as the leading entry point. Information & Communication stood out as the hardest-hit sector.
The suspension of CMMC Phase 2 was announced by Defense Department Chief Information Officer Kirsten Davies and Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment Michael Duffey.
Many vulnerabilities cannot be safely validated with live exploits, either because no exploit exists or the affected systems are too critical to test. Picus explains how TTP chaining helps organizations determine exploitability by validating the attack techniques an exploit depends on, without launching the exploit itself. […]

AI security agents are starting to influence real security decisions. They summarize findings, prioritize remediation, recommend next steps, and help teams move faster. But most still rely on fragmented risk signals: scanner output, severity scores, threat intelligence, configuration findings, and exposure data. That fragmentation matters because attackers do not move through environments one
At least two distinct threat actors are weaponizing a novel evasion technique called OAuth client ID spoofing in cloud campaigns, while slipping past telemetry. The activity allows users to enumerate user accounts and validate stolen credentials in Microsoft Entra ID environments, without ever generating a successful sign-in event that would otherwise alert defenders. And bad…

The study…
Kratos is a mature Phishing-as-a-Service operation targeting Microsoft 365 users across the US, Europe, and other regions. By combining trusted platforms, anti-bot checks, and convincing login pages, ithelps attackers steal credentials while delaying detection and response. For security leaders, that increases the risk of account takeover, fraud, data exposure, and higher incident response costs. ANY.RUN…
YouTube works well with default settings, but I tighten some privacy controls and enable a few features to make it even better.
Python’s popularity, readable syntax, and extensive third-party library ecosystem make it an attractive target for threat actors seeking to compromise developer devices and infrastructure.
