I've spent my career figuring out what makes content stick, from early work for brands like Apple and onward across two decades across film, animation and generative AI. Different tools every few years, same question underneath. What makes someone lean in instead of tuning out? Turns out that question sits at the center of a problem the security industry has wrestled with for 15 years. How do you build a culture where people actually change how they behave? Not comply. Not click "complete." Change.

Apple is warning users to be wary of unsolicited FaceTime calls amidst a wave of scams impersonating Apple Support, Malwarebytes reports. The scammers inform the user that there’s been fraudulent activity or a technical problem associated with their account, and trick the victim into handing over payment card details, banking credentials or Apple ID logins.

Most phishing attacks pick a target and commit to a tactic. This one picks the tactic based on the target, which happens dynamically, per device, in milliseconds, without the victim ever knowing a decision was made.

In business, calling something a dinosaur is meant to suggest it is slow, outdated and overdue for extinction. Which is unfair to dinosaurs, who enjoyed one of the most successful runs in the history of life. Here is what people think they mean when they use the word. Lumbering. Doomed. Obsolete. A fat target waiting for the meteor. They imagine a tar pit. They imagine extinction. They picture something huge and slow, magnificently unsuited to the world it finds itself in.

Future-proofing organizations in the face of AI requires a unified defense strategy that secures both the human workforce and autonomous AI agents. One of the key requirements is shifting security cultures from reactive compliance to proactive, measurable behavioral change. As artificial intelligence evolves from a supporting tool into an autonomous digital workforce, organizations must adapt their defense frameworks to mitigate both human and agentic risks.

Fifty-three percent of organizations have had an executive or employee impersonated in targeted social engineering attacks over the past year, according to a new report from Outtake. Just over half of this impersonation activity took place on social media platforms using fake profiles, followed by video platforms.

When it comes to outbound email security, every organization operates under different operational constraints and security requirements. Some security teams prioritize in-app nudges and coaching to catch risky behavior the moment an email is drafted. Others want to avoid friction, particularly for executives, sales teams or mobile-first employees who rarely interact with desktop add-ins.

The recent developments surrounding vulnerabilities in major AI repositories like Hugging Face serve as a critical wake-up call for the cybersecurity community. As we accelerate toward an agentic future, the platforms we rely on for innovation are increasingly becoming the primary vectors for systemic risk.

Researchers at ReliaQuest are tracking two new phishing toolkits that are designed to bypass multifactor authentication (MFA). The first tool, called “Jalisco,” is a device code phishing platform that pairs with AI-powered phishing-as-a-service platforms like EvilTokens to provide fresh OAuth codes in real time.
