Cybersecurity leadership is not always determined by economic scale, military strength or the size of a country’s technology sector. According to the National Cyber Security Index, Albania and Czechia currently have the strongest national cybersecurity frameworks among the 155 countries and territories assessed. Developed by Estonia’s e-Governance Academy, the index measures how prepared countries are […]
As AI systems become more capable of performing complex tasks, they are also becoming more effective tools for offensive cybersecurity operations. Autonomous AI agents can already identify vulnerabilities, navigate networks, and attempt to escalate privileges with minimal human intervention. Now, researchers have discovered an unexpected way to slow these attacks down: exploiting the AI models’ […]
Artificial intelligence, online infrastructure, and interconnected financial systems are reshaping the way organised crime operates across Europe. According to Europol’s latest report, criminal organisations have evolved into highly adaptive, technology-enabled enterprises that move quickly across borders while exploiting weaknesses in digital infrastructure, financial systems, and legitimate businesses. The agency has identified 731 major criminal networks […]
Artificial intelligence was impossible to ignore in 2025. In 2026, it becomes the central force reshaping cybersecurity, changing not only how attacks are launched, but how defenses are built, operated, and scaled. Generative AI has already stretched security teams thin. The next phase, agentic AI, systems that can reason, plan, and act autonomously, will raise […]
Apple and Google have issued fresh global security alerts, warning users that they may be the targets of state-backed hacking campaigns. The notifications highlight an ongoing surge in sophisticated spyware attacks tied to vendors such as Intellexa, as governments and tech companies ramp up scrutiny of digital espionage tools. New wave of global threat notifications […]
A vast network of cybercrime marketplaces is making it alarmingly simple to become a professional fraudster, creating unprecedented cybersecurity challenges worldwide, experts warn. From Skilled Hackers to Anyone with Internet Access The stereotype of cybercriminals as lone hackers with exceptional technical skills is fading fast. “Back in the 1990s and early 2000s, you needed a […]
A large-scale brute force attack campaign, ongoing for weeks, has escalated significantly, posing a major cybersecurity threat, according to a non-profit security organization. The Shadowserver Foundation has reported that this campaign, active since January, involves up to 2.8 million unique IP addresses daily. The attacks are specifically targeting VPN devices, firewalls, and gateways from major […]
Artificial intelligence (AI) has continued to push technological boundaries, with industries integrating its capabilities to enhance efficiency and automate complex processes. In 2024, AI advancements accelerated at an unprecedented pace, surpassing previous high-tech innovations. However, this rapid progress also brings significant risks, as AI’s potential missteps could be just as impactful as its achievements. The […]
A new cybersecurity threat is putting billions of Gmail, Outlook, AOL, and Yahoo users at risk. Despite the added security of two-factor authentication (2FA), a newly discovered attack method can completely bypass these protections, leaving accounts vulnerable to hackers. How the Attack Works This alarming threat has been uncovered by cybersecurity firm SlashNext, which recently […]
Artificial intelligence (AI) is set to play a transformative role in the cybersecurity sector in 2025. Experts and analysts agree that AI will be deployed by both attackers and defenders, but it’s the malicious actors who may reap the bigger benefits. Here’s a look at how AI is expected to impact cybersecurity, according to industry […]
