AI-Driven Threats Surge: Check Point 2025 Reveals New Weaponization Playbook

AI-Driven Threats Surge: Check Point 2025 Reveals New Weaponization Playbook

Check Point’s 2025 retrospective shows threat actors have moved from experimental use of artificial intelligence to fully integrating it into their attack pipelines. Machine‑learning models now automatically generate exploit code for newly disclosed vulnerabilities, craft highly convincing phishing messages and deep‑fake audio/video, and re‑package malware

Edge‑First OT Security Cuts Dwell Time with AI‑Powered Light Agents

Edge‑First OT Security Cuts Dwell Time with AI‑Powered Light Agents

Unit42 has published a new OT edge security model that moves threat detection from central SCADA servers to the devices themselves. Lightweight agents are installed on PLCs, RTUs, and other field equipment, feeding real‑time telemetry into an AI engine that profiles normal behavior and flags deviations at the source.

Claude AI Project Files Weaponized for Remote Code Execution and Token Theft

Claude AI Project Files Weaponized for Remote Code Execution and Token Theft

Threat actors are targeting Claude AI code project files, inserting malicious payloads that execute arbitrary commands on vulnerable hosts and silently harvest stored API tokens. By embedding the malicious code directly into the project’s source files, the attackers ensure the payload runs during normal build or deployment processes, effectively

Threat Actors Reconnaissance Targets BeyondTrust RCE (CVE‑2026‑1731) Before Exploit Release

Threat Actors Reconnaissance Targets BeyondTrust RCE (CVE‑2026‑1731) Before Exploit Release

GreyNoise researchers have identified a wave of coordinated scans aimed at systems running BeyondTrust’s privileged access management service. The activity is focused on locating instances vulnerable to CVE‑2026‑1731, a newly disclosed remote code execution flaw. Attackers appear to be building an inventory of susceptible assets ahead of

Student Loan Servicer Breach Leaks 2.5M Records via Compromised API

A major student loan servicer suffered a data breach that exposed the personal and financial information of roughly 2.5 million borrowers. Attackers accessed a third‑party API used for loan verification, leveraging stolen credentials to pull data that included Social Security numbers, loan balances, and contact details. The breach

Six Actively‑Exploited Zero‑Days Included in February 2026 Patch Tuesday

Six Actively‑Exploited Zero‑Days Included in February 2026 Patch Tuesday

Microsoft’s February 2026 Patch Tuesday released updates for more than 50 flaws, but six of those were zero‑day vulnerabilities already observed in the wild. Among them, CVE‑2026‑21510 lets an attacker execute arbitrary code simply by delivering a crafted hyperlink, requiring no user interaction or consent. The

VMware vDefend Brings Zero‑Trust Micro‑Segmentation to Private Clouds

VMware vDefend Brings Zero‑Trust Micro‑Segmentation to Private Clouds

VMware has launched vDefend, a new security layer that extends zero‑trust principles into private‑cloud workloads. The solution continuously watches every east‑west interaction, automatically applying micro‑segmentation policies without human intervention. By integrating AI‑driven analytics, vDefend can spot traffic patterns that deviate from the norm, flagging potential

Mentorship Monday: Community‑Powered Boost for Cyber Defense Talent

Mentorship Monday: Community‑Powered Boost for Cyber Defense Talent

The r/cybersecurity “Mentorship Monday” thread has become a crowdsourced knowledge hub where seasoned analysts and newcomers exchange career guidance, study plans, and tool recommendations. Participants regularly highlight emerging learning platforms, break down certification pathways, and share step‑by‑step playbooks for real‑world incident response, turning the forum into
