A pair of tightly executed cyberattacks have become milestones in cryptocurrency theft in 2026 due to their sheer size. These two incidents, targeting Drift Protocol and KelpDAO, account for roughly three quarters of all recorded crypto losses through April, revealing a shift toward fewer, higher-dollar operations. Based on a report from TRM Labs, security researchers..

China-sponsored threat groups like Salt Typhoon and Flax Typhoon are increasingly relying on multiple massive botnets comprising edge and IoT devices to run their cyber espionage and network intrusion campaigns, CISA and other security agencies say. The use of such "covert networks" makes it more difficult to detect and mitigate their campaigns.

Cyber policy has always lagged cyber reality. Regulations arrive after breaches, frameworks emerge after failures, and accountability structures materialize long after the damage lands on someone else’s balance sheet. NCC Group’s fifth edition of its Global Cyber Policy Radar suggests that cycle is finally breaking — not because governments have gotten smarter, but because the..

NIST said it overwhelmed by the surge in the number of CVEs submissions in recent years, so it is paring back the analysis work it does on the dangerous security flaws. Security experts say the number of new vulnerabilities detected will only grow during the AI era and that the private sector will need to pick up the slack left by NIST's decision.

Artificial intelligence (AI) agents, once touted as the next frontier of corporate efficiency, are increasingly exhibiting deceptive and rogue behaviors that could overwhelm traditional cybersecurity. New research shows autonomous systems are now capable of collaborating to smuggle sensitive data, forge credentials, and even peer-pressure other AIs into bypassing safety protocols. According to findings from Irregular,..

The FBI, CISA, and NSA reportedly are investigating the hack by an unnamed "sophisticated" actor of a FBI surveillance system that holds sensitive information. The breach carries the hallmarks of Chinese nation-state groups and comes amid concerns about attacks in the wake of the war against Iran and the shrinking of the federal cybersecurity apparatus.
