4 Simple Habits To Stop Email Hackers

Aug 7, 2026 By Trustifi In SecuritySenses
Stopping email hackers requires adopting four specific habits: letting AI filter inbound messages, identifying manufactured urgency, verifying requests through second channels, and locking accounts with passkeys. These zero-skill routines block the credential-harvesting tactics that compromise shopping, streaming, and financial profiles. Consider a content creator receiving a brand partnership offer from a recognizable sportswear company. The logo perfectly matches the corporate website, the tone sounds professional, and the message includes a simple link labeled to review the contract.

How to Secure Agentic Coding Tools: Cursor and Claude Code

Aug 6, 2026 By Cyberhaven In Cyberhaven
Cursor and Claude Code now read source code, install packages, and push commits with much of the access a senior engineer has, and often with less oversight. Give an agent a prompt to fix a bug, and it may pull a private API key from a config file, pass a customer record into its context window, or send a snippet of proprietary logic to a third-party model provider to reason about the fix. Security teams built policy for developers typing code by hand.

What is AI harness engineering?

Aug 6, 2026 By Dania Durnas In Aikido
Harness engineering is the practice of building the layer, including code, that turns an AI model from a text generator into an agent that can take actions. In short, an AI agent is a model plus a harness. The model decides what to do next, and the harness makes it happen, connecting the model to tools, context, external systems, and validation. In a lot of practical work, and especially in security work, the harness decides the quality of the output more than the choice of model does.
