Power doesn't just disappear in one big breach. It slips away in the small stuff—a patch that's missed, a setting that's wrong, a system no one is watching. Security usually doesn't fail all at once; it breaks slowly, then suddenly. Staying safe isn't about knowing everything—it's about acting fast and clear before problems pile up. Clarity keeps control. Hesitation creates risk. Here are this week's signals—each one pointing to where action matters most. ⚡ Threat of the Week Ghost Tap NFC-Based Mobile Fraud Takes Off — A new Android trojan called PhantomCard has become the latest malware to abuse near-field communication (NFC) to conduct relay attacks for facilitating fraudulent transactions in attacks targeting banking customers in Brazil. In these attacks, users who end up installing the malicious apps are instructed to place their credit/debit card on the back of the phone to begin the verification process, only for the card data to be sent to an attacker-controlled NFC relay...

The cyber world never hits pause, and staying alert matters more than ever. Every week brings new tricks, smarter attacks, and fresh lessons from the field. This recap cuts through the noise to share what really matters—key trends, warning signs, and stories shaping today's security landscape. Whether you're defending systems or just keeping up, these highlights help you spot what's coming before it lands on your screen. ⚡ Threat of the Week Oracle 0-Day Under Attack — Threat actors with ties to the Cl0p ransomware group have exploited a zero-day flaw in E-Business Suite to facilitate data theft attacks. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2025-61882 (CVSS score: 9.8), concerns an unspecified bug that could allow an unauthenticated attacker with network access via HTTP to compromise and take control of the Oracle Concurrent Processing component. In a post shared on LinkedIn, Charles Carmakal, CTO of Mandiant at Google Cloud, said "Cl0p exploited multiple vulnerabilities in Ora...

Can a harmless click really lead to a full-blown cyberattack? Surprisingly, yes — and that's exactly what we saw in last week's activity. Hackers are getting better at hiding inside everyday actions: opening a file, running a project, or logging in like normal. No loud alerts. No obvious red flags. Just quiet entry through small gaps — like a misconfigured pipeline, a trusted browser feature, or reused login tokens. These aren't just tech issues — they're habits being exploited. Let's walk through the biggest updates from the week and what they mean for your security. ⚡ Threat of the Week Recently Patched Windows Flaw Comes Under Active Exploitation — A recently patched security flaw affecting Windows NTLM has been exploited by malicious actors to leak NTLM hashes or user passwords and infiltrate systems since March 19, 2025. The flaw, CVE-2025-24054 (CVSS score: 6.5), is a hash disclosure spoofing bug that was fixed by Microsoft last month as part of its Patch Tuesday updates...

Some risks don't breach the perimeter—they arrive through signed software, clean resumes, or sanctioned vendors still hiding in plain sight. This week, the clearest threats weren't the loudest—they were the most legitimate-looking. In an environment where identity, trust, and tooling are all interlinked, the strongest attack path is often the one that looks like it belongs. Security teams are now challenged to defend systems not just from intrusions—but from trust itself being turned into a weapon. ⚡ Threat of the Week Microsoft SharePoint Attacks Traced to China — The fallout from an attack spree targeting defects in on-premises Microsoft SharePoint servers continues to spread a week after the discovery of the zero-day exploits, with more than 400 organizations globally compromised. The attacks have been attributed to two known Chinese hacking groups tracked as Linen Typhoon (aka APT27), Violet Typhoon (aka APT31), and a suspected China-based threat actor codenamed Storm-2603 t...

As the digital world becomes more complicated, the lines between national security and cybersecurity are starting to fade. Recent cyber sanctions and intelligence moves show a reality where malware and fake news are used as tools in global politics. Every cyberattack now seems to have deeper political consequences. Governments are facing new, unpredictable threats that can't be fought with old-school methods. To stay ahead, we need to understand how cybersecurity is now tied to diplomacy, where the safety of networks is just as important as the power of words. ⚡ Threat of the Week U.S. Treasury Sanctions Chinese and North Korean Entities — The U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) leveled sanctions against a Chinese cybersecurity company (Sichuan Juxinhe Network Technology Co., LTD.) and a Shanghai-based cyber actor (Yin Kecheng) over their alleged links to Salt Typhoon and Silk Typhoon threat clusters. Kecheng was associated with the breach of...

Cybercrime has stopped being a problem of just the internet — it's becoming a problem of the real world. Online scams now fund organized crime, hackers rent violence like a service, and even trusted apps or social platforms are turning into attack vectors. The result is a global system where every digital weakness can be turned into physical harm, economic loss, or political leverage. Understanding these links is no longer optional — it's survival. For a full look at the most important security news stories of the week, keep reading. Hidden flaws resurface in Windows core Security Flaws in Windows GDI Details have emerged about three now-patched security vulnerabilities in Windows Graphics Device Interface (GDI) that could enable remote code execution and information disclosure. These issues – CVE-2025-30388 , CVE-2025-53766 , and CVE-2025-47984 – involve out-of-bounds memory access triggered through malformed e...

Long gone are the days when a simple backup in a data center was enough to keep a business secure. While backups store information, they do not guarantee business continuity during a crisis. With IT disasters far too common and downtime burning through budgets, modern IT environments require solutions that go beyond storage and enable instant recovery to minimize downtime and data loss. This is where business continuity and disaster recovery (BCDR) comes into play. BCDR goes beyond basic backup to provide comprehensive recovery that keeps businesses running, no matter what comes their way. Notably, the shift toward BCDR has become a critical focus area for businesses worldwide. The State of BCDR Report 2025 , which surveyed over 3,000 IT pros, decision-makers and experts, reveals that more than half of organizations plan to switch their backup solutions within the next year. Apart from the obvious cost concern, businesses cite disaster recovery (DR) execution and the ability to effec...
