Anthropic recently announced that the company has disrupted the first reported AI-orchestrated cyber espionage campaign. This attack used Claude Code to automate many steps, with AI handling up to 90% of the tasks, including web searches and the autonomous writing of exploit code. The attackers bypassed Claude’s guardrails by breaking each step into small tasks and role-playing as a red team member.

Modern enterprise and federal networks increasingly face challenges related to identifying and validating the hardware operating within their environments. While teams typically expect enterprise-grade devices from approved vendors, the broader hardware ecosystem often introduces components and equipment that do not originate from the organization’s procurement process.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) became the industry’s default safeguard for login security. Yet attackers now bypass MFA at scale, often in seconds. Banks, fintech platforms, and digital enterprises are discovering the hard truth. MFA isn’t account takeover (ATO) prevention. It only verifies the user – and attackers have learned to compromise the session itself. Modern ATO defenses must protect beyond the login, inside the browser, and in real time.

An IT helpdesk handling access requests all day is not unusual. A Finance hire waits for folder access because it has to be added manually. A contractor’s permissions stay active weeks after their project ends because no one tracks every group they were added to. These small gaps turn into bigger security risks when the environment grows. This happens when Active Directory permissions depend on individual updates and scattered delegation. Access becomes inconsistent.

Artificial intelligence is changing how businesses work and compete. In every corner of the market, organizations expect more productivity. The question facing today’s business leaders is no longer whether to embrace artificial intelligence but how to harness its full potential to drive meaningful and sustainable transformation.

In September, we covered the Shai-Hulud worm, a self-replicating attack that exposed just how fragile the npm supply chain can be. But as we know, successful malware rarely stays static. Late November marked the arrival of Shai-Hulud v2, or as its authors rather dramatically titled it, “The Second Coming”. This isn’t just a rerun; it’s a remaster. The new iteration is stealthier, more aggressive, and significantly more dangerous. While v1 was a wake-up call, v2 is a fire drill.

The cybersecurity landscape is changing at a pace we haven’t experienced since the dawn of cloud computing. The newest disruptor, the rise of AI browsers such as Perplexity Comet and OpenAI’s ChatGPT Atlas, promises to revolutionize user interaction with the web. But behind the innovation lies a long list of risks that enterprises cannot afford to ignore.

‍On December 3rd, the React team disclosed a critical security flaw in React Server Components known as CVE-2025-55182. With a CVSS score of 10.0, this issue is extremely severe. React and Next.js are the backbone of the modern web. Consequently, this vulnerability likely sits deep within your third-party vendor ecosystem in addition to your own codebase.

Attackers thrive on ambiguity. They blend into normal traffic, pivot between cloud and on-prem systems, and use valid credentials to move quietly. Your conventional controls—while essential—often fire only after risky actions are taken on real assets. Cyber deception flips that sequence: it places deception decoys, breadcrumbs, and fake assets in the attacker’s path so that any touch is a high-fidelity signal.

The Mirai botnet, first unleashed in 2016, continues to evolve into increasingly sophisticated variants, posing severe risks to the Internet of Things(IoT) ecosystem. This report examines the Jackskid Botnet—a newly identified Mirai derivative—characterized by its aggressive propagation via zero-day exploits and brute-force attacks, resulting in daily active bot IPs surpassing 40,000 as of late November 2025.
