Scams are becoming more sophisticated over time, but this latest scam should be a wake-up call to all organizations and employees as to how far some scammers will go to damage your organization or its stakeholders. On March 31, 2026, malicious hackers hijacked the development account of a lead maintainer of a popular open source product called Axios used by many companies. It has over 100 million downloads a week. Note: The Axios involved here is not Axios, the news media company.

VibeScamming refers to AI-assisted phishing operations where attackers use natural-language tools to rapidly generate and modify phishing content and web pages, lowering (but not eliminating) the technical skill required. One of the primary enterprise impacts is faster phishing iteration and reconstitution after blocks or takedowns, with identity compromise remaining a major risk alongside malware and other payload-based attacks.

While it is not technically required, the Cyber Essentials 3.3 set of standards is quickly becoming a necessity for organizations that need to ensure public sector contract, insurance and supplier assurance in the U.K. That’s good news for managed service providers (MSPs), who now have an opportunity to build both trust and revenue by guiding clients toward Cyber Essentials certification. Acronis recently surveyed U.K. partners about Cyber Essentials.

Each of us certainly experienced a situation where we first got rid of some data, because we did not need it, but after some time we realized that we wanted to recover this data. It could be anything, an old note, a photo, or it can be an entire repository. Then what? We would like to recover this data somehow! Unfortunately, this is not always possible, so we should remember to regularly back up our data.

A new phishing campaign is using WhatsApp messages to deliver malware, according to researchers at Microsoft. The attackers are attempting to trick users into installing malicious Visual Basic Script (VBS) files. “The campaign relies on a combination of social engineering and living-off-the-land techniques,” Microsoft says.

Over the past month, the cybersecurity community has published isolated reports detailing disparate attacks by the North Korean state-aligned threat group Shifty Corsair (also known as FAMOUS CHOLLIMA). While individual vendors have documented specific supply chain poisons or targeted spear-phishing campaigns, the Threat Fusion Cell (TFCTI) at BlueVoyant has synthesized these findings to reveal a much larger, coordinated offensive.

From AI agents leaking internal data to coordinated global malware campaigns — here is everything that happened in AI cybersecurity between April 7 and April 21, 2026, with detailed attack paths for each incident. The fifteen days following April 7, 2026 produced six distinct AI-related security incidents spanning internal data exposure, supply chain exploitation, autonomous malware generation, coordinated multi-vector attacks, model leak fallout, and documented AI agent control failures.

Why the next Log4Shell will be won or lost in the first 72 hours—and what a modern zero‑day workflow looks like. Every security team remembers where they were when Log4Shell dropped. A quiet Friday afternoon in December 2021 turned into a weekend of war rooms, emergency patches, and executive updates. Years on, the Log4j fallout still shows up in breach reports—a stubborn reminder that zero‑days don’t end when the news cycle does.

Most application migration projects fail the same way: someone picks a single strategy for the entire portfolio, then tries to force every workload into it. Lift-and-shift everything to meet a data centre exit deadline. Refactor everything because someone read a cloud-native manifesto. Retire nothing because no one wants to make the decision. AWS’s 7 Rs framework exists to prevent that.
