The researchers looked at a form of romance scam commonly known as “pig butchering,” in which scammers spend weeks or months building a relationship with the victim before tricking them into sending money for a phony investment scheme.

Donation Forms Attract Card Testing Attacks

Donation Forms Attract Card Testing Attacks

Aug 24, 2026 By SecuritySenses In SecuritySenses
A charity notices something odd in its payment dashboard. Hundreds of one dollar donations attempted overnight. Almost all declined. A handful approved. Nobody donated anything. The organization was being used as a validation service. Donation forms have become a preferred target for card testing, and the reasons are structural rather than accidental. Here is how the attack works, why nonprofit payment pages are disproportionately attractive, and what actually stops it.

Legacy GRC can't keep up. Cyber risk assurance can.

Aug 23, 2026 By Tejas Ranade In TrustCloud
Enterprise security teams need to secure a risk surface that is constantly changing. However, the tools in their stack were built to check only a fraction of that risk. For confirmation, they rely on static snapshots and annual attestations. I now see this as the defining problem in GRC. When 451 Research (S&P Global) initiated coverage of TrustCloud in this space, they described a clear and growing divide.

Top 14 Agent Observability Tools

Aug 23, 2026 By The Apono Team In Apono
Agent observability tools capture traces, metrics, logs, and evaluations across AI agent workflows.

One Loss Distribution, Two Very Different Charts

Aug 23, 2026 By Kovrr In Kovrr
A cyber loss model produces one distribution. How that distribution gets drawn changes what a reader can see in it, and the conventional projection hides the part most decisions depend on. ‍ The two views below contain identical data. One of them is close to unreadable for anything except the extreme tail, and the difference is worth understanding before the next time somebody asks what the number means. ‍

Human in the Loop: How to Tell If the Review Is Real

Aug 23, 2026 By Kovrr In Kovrr
Human oversight is the only control in an AI program that can stop working while producing exactly the same evidence as when it worked. A failed encryption control throws errors. A monitoring pipeline that breaks stops delivering alerts. A review step that has become a formality still generates approvals, timestamps and sign-offs, and the compliance file looks identical. ‍ The asymmetry makes the design question secondary to the measurement one.
