Anthropic says it withheld Mythos after the model found thousands of previously unknown vulnerabilities. The article argues that AI-driven impersonation makes continuous identity checks, limited agent permissions, and behavioral monitoring increasingly important.
A lab walkthrough shows how Impacket-Net uses NTLM hashes, Kerberos tickets, and AES keys to enumerate and modify Active Directory users, groups, and computers, then outlines hardening and monitoring measures.
A Sprocket Security-sponsored article describes how public assets may be scanned and probed soon after exposure, citing a study in which 80% of 320 honeypots were compromised within 24 hours and a company-reported unauthenticated API exposure.
An interview with Traffik Analysis Hub president Neil Giles explores how scams and digital payment channels can support human trafficking, and why prevention requires organizations to share intelligence and look beyond transactions.
The article argues that AI may enable vulnerability discovery and exploitation before public disclosure, making patching alone insufficient. It advocates behavioral monitoring and rapid containment, and cites Darktrace detections that it says preceded CVE publication.
A hands-on guide demonstrates 16 ways to enumerate Active Directory users through LDAP, SAMR, RPC, LSARPC and Windows APIs, then outlines monitoring and hardening measures including LDAP auditing, RPC monitoring, honey accounts and privilege tiering.
Wiz outlines how its cloud security platform can support Australian government departments applying the ACSC’s Modern Defensible Architecture, including layered defenses, Zero Trust, secure-by-design practices, and continuous assurance.
The article proposes a beginner’s GRC learning path: study cybersecurity fundamentals first, then policies, access control, risk management, continuity, and legal topics, followed by practical scenario exercises.
The article describes how nation-state actors prepare access to Defense Industrial Base networks, often targeting smaller contractors and edge infrastructure, and argues that network telemetry and shared intelligence can help identify activity before it escalates.
The article argues that browser-based work obscures user and agent actions from traditional security tools. A ClickFix example illustrates the gap, and the author advocates browser-level visibility, governance, and response.
CIS argues that AI may increase the speed and volume of vulnerability discovery, but established defenses remain relevant. It urges leaders to prioritize asset visibility, secure configurations, response readiness, and collaboration.
The article explains CIRCIA’s planned incident and ransomware-payment reporting deadlines, expected coverage, and how DarkOwl says its dark web intelligence and credential monitoring can support preparation.
A Picus overview of Chinese state-backed threat actors highlights shared relay networks built from compromised edge devices, contractor and tooling ecosystems, rapid appliance exploitation, stealth techniques, and defenses including patching, device replacement and en
The article argues Claude Mythos could accelerate vulnerability discovery while many teams lack workflows to triage and verify fixes, recommending centralized findings, risk-based prioritization and closed-loop remediation; it promotes PlexTrac.
The article argues that human-centric IAM cannot adequately govern AI agents across API workflows. It recommends application-centric runtime authorization with short-lived, least-privilege tokens using OAuth 2.0, token exchange and dynamic client registration.
A walkthrough of LuLu, a free, open-source macOS firewall that prompts users to allow or block apps’ outgoing connections, remembers rules, and offers live activity monitoring through Netiquette.
Following Vercel and Lovable security incidents, OpenSourceMalware describes recurring risks in AI-generated apps, including exposed secrets, weak authorization, permissive storage, unverified webhooks, and unvetted dependencies.
Anthropic’s Project Glasswing and Mythos Preview’s reported discovery of a longstanding FFmpeg flaw illustrate the limits of pattern-based tools; the opinion argues teams must also continuously review identities, configurations, integrations and asset inventories.
An Active Directory lab walkthrough shows how low-privilege users with delegated write access to a domain-linked GPO can deploy tasks, scripts, local administrators, and reverse shells, and describes ways to detect and mitigate the abuse.
The article says Claude Opus 4.7’s tokenizer change increased token counts and may introduce unmapped glitch tokens and tokenization mismatches affecting safety filters. It notes no full Opus 4.7 glitch sweep has been published and urges retesting.
The article argues that organizations should treat autonomous AI agents as identities and extend identity-security controls to them, including behavioral monitoring, risk-based access, least privilege, and lifecycle management.
Microsoft policy executive Kaja Ciglic says state cyber programs are now integrated tools of national power, with automation and AI accelerating activity. She calls for cross-domain consequences, clearer NATO response pathways and standing government-private sectorcoord
Untested disaster recovery plans may fail in exams and operations. The article compares plan reviews, walkthroughs, tabletop exercises, execution tests, parallel runs and full interruption tests, emphasizing increasing assurance, cost and operational risk.
A hands-on tutorial demonstrates bypassing AppLocker and PowerShell restrictions in a simulated Windows environment using trusted binaries, reflective shellcode injection, and Ligolo-NG to establish a reverse TLS tunnel.
