Recently, a big security issue has been the talk of the tech community. The problem? Attackers uploaded a few harmful packages to the Python Package Index (PyPI), a popular software repository created for Python developers to share their code. But these packages didn’t serve as regular tools for developers. Instead, they are traps designed to steal something important: ”cloud tokens.”…
Low battery moments often push people to use public USB charging stations—but that quick charge could open the door to a hidden cyber threat. Juice jacking is a method attackers use to steal data or install malware through compromised USB ports or cables.

In the ever-evolving landscape of cybersecurity, a new and formidable threat has emerged: Highly Evasive Adaptive Threats (HEAT). Unlike traditional cyberattacks, HEAT attacks are designed to bypass standard security defenses, making them particularly dangerous for organizations and individuals alike. These sophisticated threats leverage advanced evasion techniques, enabling them to infiltrate networks, compromise sensitive data, and execute malicious activities without detection.…
The ever-increasing complexity and scale of contemporary systems have significantly amplified the risk of security breaches, making them prime targets for the rapid evolution of cyber threats. In the absence of rigorous oversight, these systems become susceptible to compromise, with the potential for severe and widespread consequences. To mitigate these risks, it is imperative to adopt a proactive approach to…
A salami attack represents a sophisticated cyber crime technique employed by malicious actors, wherein financial resources are siphoned from targeted systems silently, often in minuscule amounts. These small-scale fraudulent activities, when accumulated, culminate in substantial financial theft. These small-scale breaches often go undetected due to their subtle nature. Typically executed through the manipulation of financial systems, the salami attack involves…
Why Are Small Businesses Targeted by Cybercriminals? Small businesses are prime targets for cyber-attacks because hackers perceive them as easy prey.

What’s more, in 2023 alone, people reported almost nine million phishing scams globally. Identifying and avoiding phishing scams…
How Cybersecurity Impacts Your Home Smart homes are no longer a thing of the future. Home smart devices like smart locks, thermostats, cameras, and speakers are transforming everyday living, offering convenience, energy efficiency, and security. However, as these Internet of Things (IoT) devices become more prevalent, they also introduce significant cybersecurity risks. What are some of the vulnerabilities of IoT…
