The cyber threat landscape never sleeps—and neither do the adversaries behind it. In an era where most botnets are Linux-based and heavily target IoT devices, a new breed of malware has emerged, shifting the paradigm of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks. Known as HTTPBot, this new Windows-based botnet is engineered with precision and built to disrupt operations where it hurts most: in high-value, real-time digital interfaces. 

In today's hyperconnected world, most of our digital infrastructure—whether in the cloud, at the edge, or on-premises—is powered by processors from one dominant player: Intel. From powering enterprise-grade servers that host mission-critical applications to the laptops we carry daily, Intel's CPUs form the backbone of global computing. 

In the age of AI, data is gold—but it’s also a deeply personal resource. The debate over how that data is gathered and used has reached a boiling point with Meta’s latest move.
In a controversial shift, Meta has announced plans to use public content from Facebook and Instagram users across Europe to train its generative AI models. But there’s one glaring issue: they’re not asking for prior user consent.

In an urgent reminder of the ever-evolving cybersecurity threat landscape, Samsung has issued an emergency security update to address CVE-2025-4632, a critical zero-day vulnerability actively exploited in the wild. This isn't a routine patch—it’s a significant alert for enterprises, CISOs, and mobile users worldwide. Over 2 billion Samsung devices are potentially exposed, raising an immediate and critical question

Cybersecurity professionals have long warned that the biggest threats to enterprise security are not necessarily the most complex. Often, it's the unpatched, overlooked, or misunderstood vulnerabilities that open the door to devastating breaches. This truth was once again proven with the discovery of CVE-2025-32756, a critical zero-day vulnerability affecting Fortinet’s FortiOS, the backbone of its widely deployed firewall and networking solutions.

In today’s hyperconnected digital ecosystem, software that is designed to enhance performance and efficiency can quickly turn into an organization’s greatest vulnerability. The latest example? ASUS DriverHub — a widely trusted utility used for managing and updating system drivers — has been found to contain critical Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerabilities, placing millions of devices at immediate risk. 

In today’s digital-first world, convenience often comes at the cost of privacy. Every click, voice command, and facial scan contributes to a growing ecosystem of personal data. While users place trust in technology providers to safeguard their digital identities, recent events reveal that this trust is not always upheld.

In the wake of the recent Pahalgam incidents, the focus has once again shifted to national security—and with it, the hidden battlefield of cyberspace. Though the core issue stems from the actions of terror outfits and not direct state-to-state aggression, the digital spillover is undeniable.

Imagine paying just €10 to knock an entire website offline.
No hacking knowledge required. No secret chatrooms. Just a simple, user-friendly web portal.
This wasn’t fiction—it was the reality of the growing DDoS-for-hire underworld.

Between April 20 and 21, 2025, the cybersecurity landscape witnessed a disturbing trend: over 4,800 unique IP addresses launched scans targeting publicly accessible .git/config files. This spike, reported by GreyNoise, marks the largest Git-based reconnaissance event ever recorded, reflecting the evolving tactics of cyber adversaries who are increasingly turning to exposed source code repositories as prime entry points.
