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.

When ransomware drove record losses, insurers began scrutinizing basic controls like multi-factor authentication (MFA), backups, and endpoint detection. Now, AI-driven automation is introducing a new category of risk—AI agents—and insurers are responding with heightened attention to privilege management. AI agents are non-human identities that can approve payments, access sensitive data, and execute commands using powerful API keys.

On Wednesday, December 3, a critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in React Server Components (RSC), dubbed React2Shell (CVE-2025-55182), was disclosed. The CVE was discovered by security researcher Lachlan Davidson. It quickly gained traction with multiple third-party proof of concepts (PoCs) being published of varying quality and credibility.

Privileged Entitlements Management (PEM) is a specialized cybersecurity practice that focuses on securely managing high-risk entitlements, also known as permissions, access rights, or privileges, which grant access to sensitive data, critical resources, and essential services across an organization's IT infrastructure.

Every year, security teams and MSPs look to the MITRE ATT&CK Evaluations for one thing: clarity. Not marketing, but a transparent view of how endpoint products behave under real adversary tactics. MITRE ATT&CK Evaluations Enterprise Round 7 (MITRE ER7) is no exception. In the Windows “Hermes” scenario, modeled after Mustang Panda activity, the data shows how WatchGuard delivers strong, reliable protection with lower operational burden for security teams and MSPs.

When we think about airport security, we often picture the multiple measures they have in place every day. But imagine that management decided to adopt a single-layer strategy: relying only on metal detectors (network security) and removing X-ray scanners (endpoint security).

The expectation for fast and free solutions dominates both personal and professional environments. From streaming platforms to software tools, convenience and zero-cost access often drive decision-making. While this approach may seem efficient on the surface, it raises critical questions about the hidden costs and overlooked trade-offs.

Vulnerability and exposure data is only as valuable as the insights you can extract from it. Seemplicity’s Insights Agent changes the game by turning dense vulnerability information into actionable insights, surfacing meaningful trends and generating visual insights. No configuration or guesswork–just fast, contextual analysis that helps security teams focus on what matters most.

How do you choose a tool that can actually show what third-party scripts are doing on your payment pages? It starts with recognizing the scale of what runs there.

Most websites today are more complex than their owners realise. A single page can load a mix of analytics, pixels, and vendor scripts, all shaping how personal data flows through the browser. And because GDPR now treats this browser activity as processing, it becomes part of the compliance picture even when it comes from third-party tools. Which means regulators naturally expect organizations to understand this activity as it happens.
