Hackers don’t need to break your encryption today. They’re stealing your encrypted data right now and storing it, waiting for quantum computers to crack it open years from now. This silent strategy is called “harvest now, decrypt later,” and it may already be targeting your organization. Here’s everything you need to know.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) was supposed to be the last line of defense. But a new class of attack, Adversary-in-the-Middle (AiTM) proxy phishing, has found a way around it. By acting as a silent relay between you and your trusted login page, attackers steal your session cookies the moment authentication completes. And with quantum computing on the horizon, today’s encryption may soon offer no protection at all. Here’s what you need to know.
Every internet-connected application is a potential entry point for attackers. In 2024 alone, exploitation of public-facing applications was one of the top initial access techniques used in real-world breaches. This guide breaks down exactly how these attacks happen, which applications are most at risk, and what your security team can do right now to reduce exposure, without breaking your business operations
Hackers no longer need to crack your password. With MFA fatigue attacks — also called push bombing or MFA prompt bombing — they just spam your team until someone accidentally approves access. This guide explains how it works, why it’s so effective, and exactly what your organization needs to do to stop it.

Zero Trust Architecture is redefining modern cybersecurity by eliminating implicit trust and enforcing strict identity-based access controls. In this complete IAM implementation guide, learn how to apply NIST SP 800-207 principles, replace outdated VPNs with ZTNA, and deploy a scalable Zero Trust framework that protects your organization from today’s evolving threats.

AI agents now hold the keys to your kingdom, they authenticate users, manage access tokens, approve workflows, and interface with your most sensitive identity infrastructure. But a new class of attack is quietly exploiting this power: prompt injection for identity. Unlike traditional credential attacks, these exploits don’t need to crack a password. They just need to manipulate the AI. This guide breaks down every attack vector, real-world scenario, and enterprise defence strategy you need to protect your agentic IAM environment in 2026.

AI transformation is, at its core, a governance problem.
Every AI deployment opens a new data exposure window, and without a structured AI governance framework, your organisation cannot see it, measure it, or close it. In 2025, enterprises running AI without documented risk management controls are already non-compliant with the EU AI Act, misaligned with NIST AI RMF 1.0, and invisible to the regulators, insurers, and customers who are now asking hard questions.
This guide covers everything security leaders need to know: what AI governance really means, how the NIST AI Risk Management Framework works, which AI governance tools actually reduce risk, and why the fastest path to compliance runs directly through your data protection strategy.
Read time: ~15 minutes • Topics: AI Governance, NIST AI RMF, Risk Management, Data Protection, Responsible AI, AI Compliance.
North Korea’s Lazarus Group executed the largest cryptocurrency theft in history on February 21, 2025 — not by breaking Bybit’s own defences, but by compromising a third-party wallet platform its signing team trusted completely. The $1.5 billion Bybit hack is not just a crypto story. It is a masterclass in supply chain exploitation — and a warning every exchange, custodian, and digital asset firm must take seriously.

Your firewall is strong. Your endpoints are hardened. Your team is vigilant. But none of that matters if your vendors aren’t.
Supply chain attacks have become the fastest-growing threat vector in cybersecurity — and they work precisely because they bypass every defense you’ve built. Attackers don’t break through your walls. They walk through the door you left open for your software vendors, hardware suppliers, and third-party service providers.
According to the 2025 Verizon Data Breach Investigations Report, third-party involvement in breaches has doubled year-over-year to 30% of all incidents. The average supply chain breach now costs $4.91 million and takes 267 days to detect.
The question is no longer whether your supply chain will be targeted. It’s whether you’ll see it coming.
Why You Should Never Ignore the Latest FBI Warning on Malicious Texts
In early 2026, mobile security has reached a critical tipping point. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and CISA have recently escalated their public safety alerts following a 700% surge in sophisticated “smishing” (SMS phishing) attacks. From fraudulent DMV fee notifications to AI-generated impersonations of high-ranking government officials, these scams are no longer just “obvious” spam—they are precision-engineered to steal your identity.
The core of the current FBI warning on malicious texts focuses on a specific “franchise model” of cybercrime. Attackers are now using over 10,000 newly registered domains—many ending in suspicious extensions like .xin or .cfd—to bypass standard iMessage and Android spam filters. These messages often create a false sense of urgency, claiming you have unpaid road tolls or that your digital messaging accounts (like Signal or WhatsApp) have been compromised.
“The goal is simple: to make you click before you think,” the FBI warns. “Once that link is touched, the door is open for malware installation, data exfiltration, and total financial loss.”
Key Takeaways from the FBI’s 2026 Guidance:
Verify, Don’t Reply: If a text claims to be from a government agency or a senior official, do not use the contact info provided. Verify the claim through an official, independent website.
The “Copy-Paste” Trap: Be wary of texts that ask you to “copy and paste” a URL into your browser; this is a common tactic to circumvent mobile security blocks.
Report & Delete: Forward suspicious texts to 7726 (SPAM) and file a formal report at IC3.gov.
Staying informed is your first line of defense. By understanding the anatomy of these threats and following official protocols, you can protect your personal data from the growing wave of mobile exploitation.
