Deepfakes are becoming more effective with the advances in machine learning, CGI, and facial mapping technology. Humans will be increasingly unable to trust the evidence of their own eyes.
Cyber Security
Cyber criminals, state-sponsored hackers and even the occasional disgruntled employee are constantly looking to gain unauthorized access for a variety of purposes: theft of money, cyber espionage, personal information for sale or for use in scams, and damage to critical infrastructure for just a few of the most common.
So how does an organization mitigate an entire world full of continual cyber attacks? Just as buildings have a number of necessary elements of physical security: access control, cameras, alarms and so on; there are similar key elements of cyber security that are absolutely vital for just about any modern business.
It starts with identifying and closing the most common doors that attackers use. For example, phishing attacks on employees are far and away the most common initial point of entry. The breach of even a low-level employee account can quickly turn into an escalation in access privileges and the ability to reach sensitive information. This is also true of smart devices, which are generally more poorly secured than computers and phones.
The database leak incident comes as DeepSeek is experiencing an amazing period of rapid success, but has also been tripped up by several other security issues in quick succession. The chat history exposure is joined by a DDoS and jailbreak issues that could undermine trust.
A number of attendees of the most recent DEF CON are accused of jamming a Delta flight's Wi-Fi network during their flight home and attempting to get other passengers to connect to a rogue hotspot they controlled.
ODIN Intelligence, a law enforcement technology vendor, has experienced a chain of security incidents as of late including a defaced website (and possibly much worse). Company had already been a magnet for controversy over some of its more privacy-invasive products.
We all hope it never occurs, but the amount of reported cybercrime attacks is growing steadily - if not skyrocketing - especially within the context of the modern hybrid workplace. Here are the six fundamental moves to make within the first 24 hours of experiencing a breach.
Data recovery and protection planning is a crucial task and responsibility for any data center manager, and it is important in creating buoyant infrastructures. What are the crucial steps to formulate an effective plan?
Insider threats are on the rise. What's worse, these threats often fly under the radar for months before they're caught. To prevent an insider threat is to proactively identify and mitigate insider risks. Data and user monitoring tools can be critical by revealing how insiders use data in real-world workflows.
Organizations must have effective defense against DDoS attacks and weaponization—not just for their own protection but also to limit the field for botnet recruitment and prevent service provider and corporate devices from being used in international cyber warfare.
Australian-based American defense contractor Austal USA has confirmed a cyber attack after the Hunters International ransomware group listed the company and shared samples of the stolen data as proof. Austal USA undertakes major U.S. Navy shipbuilding programs.
