Artificial Intelligence (AI) is now a primary focus of #cybersecurity. How many are now using AI to automate alerts for cybersecurity for their clients?

“GlassWorm isn't just another supply chain attack. It's using stealth techniques we've never seen before - invisible Unicode characters that make malicious code literally disappear from code editors. Combine that with blockchain-based C2 infra that can't be taken down, Google Calendar as a backup command server, and a full remote access trojan that turns every infected dev into a criminal proxy node.”

Ich habe gerade auf der Arbeit den letzten Teil des diesjährigen Cybersecurity Awareness Programme abgeschlossen. Der Großteil des Kurses lässt sich zusammenfassen mit "Phishing E-Mails sind schlecht. Klick nichts an."

Das Zertifikat kam per Mail...
Von einer E-Mail außerhalb der Organisation...
Mit einem Link zu einem PDF...
Mit dem Hinweis, man muss sich einloggen auf der verlinkten Seite...

Ich bin versucht, die Mail als Phishing Versuch zu melden.

NEW, by me, the one some of you have been asking about:

Months After Being Notified, a Software Vendor is Still Exposing Confidential and Sealed Court Records

https://databreaches.net/2025/10/13/months-after-being-notified-a-software-vendor-is-still-exposing-confidential-and-sealed-court-records/

I don't usually ask for boosts, but if you are in a position to help spread the word about this vendor and that its clients need to check their security, that would be great.

It was coming. CISA is being "permanently downsized" in the age of personal vendettas. From yesterday.
