Cybercriminals are increasingly adopting a 'mobile-first' attack strategy to infiltrate enterprise systems by targeting weak, unsecured, and unmanaged mobile endpoints, recognizing mobile as a major entry point to corporate networks and sensitive data.
A new report from Zimperium zLabs shows a significant rise in mobile phishing -- or 'mishing' -- a technique that employs various tactics specifically designed to exploit vulnerabilities in mobile devices.
Can humans provide a cybersecurity edge? [Q&A]
It's usually the case that cybersecurity is seen as being all about technology and that humans -- making mistakes and falling for social engineering -- are something of a liability.
But are people really just a problem or can they also be part of the solution? Toney Jennings, CEO of DataStone, believes we need to shift our thinking away from the current paradigm to empowering people as a hidden asset in the protection of their organization. We talked to him to find out more.
Attackers use GenAI to write malicious code
The latest threat insights report from HP Wolf Security has identified a new campaign using malware believed to have been written with the help of GenAI.
Analysis of the campaign, targeting French-speakers using VBScript and JavaScript, finds the structure of the scripts, comments explaining each line of code, and the choice of native language function names and variables are strong indications that the threat actor used GenAI to create the malware.

AI for social good: Highlighting positive applications of AI in addressing social challenges -- along with the potential pitfalls to avoid
Depending on who you ask, artificial intelligence could be the future of work or the harbinger of doom. The reality of AI technology falls somewhere between these two extremes. Although there are certainly some use cases of AI technology that could be harmful to society, others have seen the technology substantially improve their productivity and efficiency.

Forget Windows 11 -- Windows Moon Valley reaches a major milestone, download it now!
Windows 11, much like its predecessor Windows 10, has been criticized for various design inconsistencies. From outdated interface elements to uneven system-wide aesthetics, these issues have led to the development of tools like Rectify11, which streamline and improve the visual design of the operating system.
Windows Moon Valley takes this a step further by addressing not only Windows’ design shortcomings but also enhancing its overall functionality. The project is essentially a cross between Windows 10X (a streamlined version of Windows 10 originally designed for dual-screen and foldable devices, later adapted for single-screen devices) and Windows 11.
Passwords still rule when securing user accounts
A new global study reveals that 58 percent of people use a username and password to login to personal accounts and 54 percent do so to login to work accounts.
The report from Yubico, based on a study of 20,000 people around the world carried out by Talker Research, reveals a worrying lack of awareness of best practices for authentication. 39 percent think username and password are the most secure and 37 percent think mobile SMS based authentication is the most secure, though both are highly susceptible to phishing attacks.
Kaspersky users in the US find themselves forcibly migrated to the mysterious UltraAV
It is not unusual for software to update itself without user interaction; when it comes to delivering security patches and new features this is entirely desirable. But to have an app uninstall itself and replace itself with a different product? That’s not only highly unusually, it’s also worrying.
And yet this is what is happening for users of Kaspersky antivirus software in the US. Having been deemed a threat to national security, the sale of software from the Russian cybersecurity firm Kaspersky was banned in the US. Having promised that its customers would be taken care of, Kaspersky is now keeping its promise but forcibly replacing its security software with the largely unknown UltraAV on US customers’ computers
