Deploying Web Application and API Protection (WAAP) systems is crucial for bolstering cybersecurity defenses. Akamai reported 108 billion API attacks over 18 months, underscoring the value of APIs to cybercriminals. Like any new security measure, the initial deployment brings various challenges during the "Day One" process. These Day One challenges should not compromise security effectiveness or disrupt business operations.

In our previous post, The ABC’s of Ishing, we broke down the foundational tactics used by cybercriminals to deceive users and gain unauthorized access. This follow-up report expands on that foundation by exploring three evolving phishing threats that go beyond traditional email lures. Angler Phishing, Calendar Phishing, and Captcha Phishing each exploit trust in everyday digital tools—social media platforms, calendar invites, and CAPTCHA challenges.

Every Android app relies on local storage to function. Whether it’s user credentials, API tokens, cached data, or session details, applications often write sensitive information to the device. And every one of those storage points is a potential entryway for attackers if not properly secured. The problem isn’t storage itself but how data is stored. Weak implementation choices expose critical information to attackers, malware, or even forensic tools.

When your IT and cybersecurity partner is the same firm, that roadmap is more than theoretical. It’s built into how your systems are managed day-to-day, ensuring strategy and operations always align.

Identity touches everything in modern IT. Whether it’s logging into email, provisioning a VM, or accessing a CRM, identity and access management (IAM) is the digital backbone of work. Yet the controls meant to safeguard it haven’t kept up with the scale, speed, and complexity of today’s environments. The cracks show up everywhere.

Hackread reports that attackers are abusing Google’s AppSheet platform to send phishing emails. The campaign was spotted by researchers at Raven, who warn that attackers are sending messages that impersonate AppSheet, informing users of phony trademark violations. Notably, the emails are sent from AppSheet’s legitimate infrastructure, making them more likely to bypass security controls and appear legitimate to human recipients.
