CISO guide to ransomware incident response: a complete checklist covering preparation, detection, containment, eradication, and recovery phases for enterprise environments under active ransomware attacks.
Five years ago, application security meant securing APIs, patching web frameworks, and hunting for SQL injection in input fields. Today, we’re handing over SSH keys, database credentials, and deployment pipelines to AI agents that make their own decisions about what code to run. Post-Quantum Cryptography for Cyber Professionals Red Teaming LLM Applications: A Practical Playbook […]
June 2026 threat briefing: Cordyceps CI/CD flaws exposed 300+ GitHub repos, Cisco SD-WAN zero-days exploited in the wild, and AI-powered agentic adversaries are compressing the attack lifecycle from weeks to hours.
Over 400 AUR packages hijacked via maintainer account takeover: poisoned PKGBUILDs ran a Rust credential harvester, with an eBPF rootkit where builds ran as root. Full breakdown and response steps.
June 2026 threat briefing: an AI agent found 21 FFmpeg zero-days, the Miasma worm hit 73 GitHub repos, Cisco SD-WAN sat exploited with no patch, and CISA added three KEV entries on tight deadlines.
AI agent persistence attacks hide in prompt caches, tool registries, agent memory, and OAuth grants — surviving patches, restarts, and retraining. The five techniques and the hardening that stops them.
AI-powered attacks surged in 2026: autonomous attack agents, AI-generated phishing up 1,200%, and machine-speed exploitation. The top threat vectors and what AppSec professionals must do to defend.
Pwn2Own Berlin 2026 awarded $1.3M for 47 zero-days in three days - and AI coding assistants OpenAI Codex and Anthropic Claude Code were exploited on stage for the first time. DEVCORE took Master of Pwn with $505K. Full results, the AI-target analysis, and what AppSec teams must do now.
Three versions of node-ipc (10.1.1-10.1.3) shipped a stealer backdoor - CVE-2026-44338 - harvesting SSH keys, AWS credentials and .npmrc from 1.2M-weekly-download installs via DNS tunneling and HTTPS C2. Technical breakdown and hardening guide.
A deep dive into Server-Side Template Injection (SSTI) — how template engines turn attacker input into RCE, with discovery, exploitation and defense patterns.
OpenAI launched Daybreak — frontier models plus the Codex Security agentic framework for vulnerability detection that reads business logic, not just patterns. Discovery through patch validation in one pipeline. What it changes for AppSec and red teams.
AI supply chain attacks introduce entirely new attack vectors: poisoned training data, compromised base models, malicious plugins, and model extraction. This guide covers the full spectrum of attacks with real case studies and a practical security framework.
