Two cybersecurity leaders tested out AI in their respective SOCs for six months — and here's what they learned.

A threat actor used the open source security tool to deploy an infostealer into CI/CD workflows and steal cloud credentials, SSH keys, tokens, and other sensitive secrets.

Threat actors bypass security tools and use AI to launch faster ransomware attacks that exploit valid credentials and target data.

The idea of a "human in the loop" in AI deployment was challenged during a security executive panel at the RSAC 2026 Conference this week.

A phishing campaign targeting healthcare, government, hospitality, and education sectors in various countries uses several evasion techniques to avoid detection.

Attackers can execute arbitrary code without authentication if Oracle's Identity or Web Services Managers are exposed to the Web.

Files on a central cloud server used by the ransomware group highlight a systematic, aggressive attack on network backups as a key TTP.

Pedestrians crossing a street in Denver, Colorado, got rather more than they bargained for last weekend, when the audio signals at two crosswalks began broadcasting a political message alongside their usual walking instructions. Read more in my article on the Hot for Security blog.

The ransomware gang, known for double-extortion attacks, had access to a critical Cisco firewall vulnerability weeks before it was publicly disclosed.

CISA has added five new vulnerabilities to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) Catalog, based on evidence of active exploitation. CVE-2025-31277 Apple Multiple Products Buffer Overflow Vulnerability CVE-2025-32432 Craft CMS Code Injection Vulnerability CVE-2025-43510 Apple Multiple Products Improper Locking Vulnerability CVE-2025-43520 Apple Multiple Products Classic Buffer Overflow Vulnerability CVE-2025-54068 Laravel Livewire Code Injection Vulnerability These types of vulnerabilities are frequent attack vectors for malicious cyber actors and pose significant risks to the federal enterprise. Binding Operational Directive (BOD) 22-01: Reducing the Significant Risk of Known Exploited Vulnerabilities established the KEV Catalog as a living list of known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) that carry significant risk to the federal enterprise. BOD 22-01 requires Federal Civilian Executive Branch (FCEB) agencies to remediate identified vulnerabilities by the due date to protect FCEB networks against active threats. See the BOD 22-01 Fact Sheet for more information. Although BOD 22-01 only applies to FCEB agencies, CISA strongly urges all organizations to reduce their exposure to cyberattacks by prioritizing timely remediation of KEV Catalog vulnerabilities as part of their vulnerability management practice. CISA will continue to add vulnerabilities to the catalog that meet the specified criteria.

CISA and the Federal Bureau of Investigation released a Public Service Announcement (PSA) warning about ongoing phishing campaigns by cyber actors associated with the Russian Intelligence Services targeting commercial messaging applications (CMAs). These campaigns aim to bypass encryption to compromise to individual user accounts with targets including current and former U.S. government officials, military personnel, political figures, and journalists. Evidence shows that cyber actors have been able to compromise individual CMA accounts, but not encryption of the applications themselves. The actors’ global campaigns have resulted in unauthorized access to thousands of individual CMA accounts to view the victims’ messages and contact lists, send messages, and conduct additional phishing against other CMA accounts. CISA and FBI urge CMA users to review the PSA, follow recommended cybersecurity practices, and remain vigilant for suspicious activity.
