Beaconing Detection: How Attackers Stay Hidden

Jan 1, 2026 By SafeAeon Inc. In SafeAeon
Attackers, after an initial compromise, look to remain inside a network for as long as possible. For this, they use different methods. Beaconing is one of the common techniques used to maintain this access. Beaconing activity can easily blend into normal traffic and can remain unnoticed for long periods. Therefore, it is important for IT and security teams to understand how beaconing works in order to effectively carry out beaconing detection and response.

Account Takeover Prevention for Credit Unions: What Actually Works in 2026

Jan 1, 2026 By Julian Agudelo In Memcyco
Account takeover prevention for credit unions has reached an inflection point.

Social Engineering Tactics 2026: How Attackers Are shifting from Email to 'Swipe-Up' Scams

Dec 23, 2025 By Ezra M. In Memcyco
The image of the cyber attacker is changing. For years, the industry focused on email gateways and typo-squatted domains like citi-bank-security.com. But according to Tzoor Cohen, CTI Lead at Memcyco, the battleground has shifted. In 2026, the most dangerous social engineering tactics typically don’t start in an inbox. They start on social media, utilize legitimate infrastructure like Bitly, and exploit the user interface (UI) of mobile devices to hide malicious intent.

How Attackers Maintained Persistence in AWS After Stealing Credentials

Dec 21, 2025 By Gabriel Avner In Apono
Last week’s disclosure from AWS is another reminder that in the cloud, attackers don’t need to break in. They just need a working set of keys. Several AWS customers learned this the hard way when threat actors used compromised IAM credentials to deploy a rapid cryptomining campaign across EC2 and ECS environments. The incident didn’t rely on vulnerabilities or sophisticated exploitation. It relied on valid credentials and overly permissive access.
