In just six months, over 1.5 million Android devices were infected with malware.
Let that sink in.
That’s not a futuristic prediction or some hypothetical tech scenario—it’s what’s actually happening right now in 2024. Android users, including enterprise teams, individual consumers, and even tech-savvy professionals, are under siege from a new wave of cyber threats that are more dangerous, deceptive, and damaging than ever before.
Linux, the trusted operating system for enterprise-scale infrastructure, is facing another significant security reckoning. Critical new vulnerabilities have been uncovered—ones that enable attackers to gain full root access, effectively seizing total control of affected systems.
A Wake-Up Call for Every Security Team
Did you know that Google Chrome powers over 3.2 billion users globally and holds more than 65% of the browser market share? That means two out of every three internet users are on Chrome. Now imagine what happens when a single vulnerability allows attackers to silently bypass security and take control of users’ devices.
In a decisive move against state-sponsored cybercrime, the U.S. Department of Justice recently seized $7.74 million worth of cryptocurrency linked to North Korea’s elite hacking syndicate, the Lazarus Group. While the amount may seem small compared to global cybercrime losses, it represents a symbolic and tactical win in a growing cyberwar that’s threatening businesses worldwide.
Have you ever clicked on a Discord invite that looked completely normal—only to realize something wasn’t right?
In 2024, cybercriminals are increasingly hijacking legitimate-looking Discord invites to spread malware, steal credentials, and compromise entire organizations. What began as a communication tool for gamers has evolved into a platform used by developers, startups, and communities worldwide—and that’s precisely why it’s now under attack.
With over 43% of all websites on the internet built using WordPress, it’s no surprise that the platform is a favorite target for cybercriminals. While its flexibility, massive plugin ecosystem, and ease of use make it a go-to CMS for businesses and developers, its popularity also presents an enticing opportunity for hackers.
Cybercrime doesn’t retire—it reinvents. In the ever-evolving world of cybersecurity, attackers are constantly shifting tactics to find new weak points. Recent threat intelligence reports have revealed that former members of the Black Basta ransomware group—once known for crippling organizations with double-extortion attacks—have pivoted from traditional endpoints and servers to a more insidious target: enterprise routers.
Did you know that 60% of all cyber breaches are linked to unpatched vulnerabilities?
In today’s hyperconnected world, one overlooked update can lead to catastrophic consequences. Adobe’s recent security release, patching 25 critical vulnerabilities, is a loud wake-up call for enterprises, government agencies, and individual users alike.
Imagine this: You step into the office, open your laptop, and discover your company’s data is encrypted, your systems locked, and a ransom note flashing across your screen.
This nightmare recently became a grim reality for over 70 organizations across industries including finance, healthcare, and technology. A highly coordinated cyberattack, leveraging multiple threat vectors, exposed glaring weaknesses in enterprise defenses and sent shockwaves across the cybersecurity landscape.
In an era where businesses rely heavily on digital ecosystems and third-party software integrations, a new type of cyberattack is rapidly gaining ground—and it doesn’t knock on the front door. It walks right in through software updates that were supposed to make systems more secure.
