A new report from the U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission reveals that while China is aggressively prosecuting fraud targeting its own citizens, it continues to turn a blind eye to industrial-scale scam centers victimizing Americans. This selective enforcement has incentivized Chinese criminal syndicates to pivot toward U.S. targets, resulting in over $10 billion in losses in 2024 through "pig-butchering" and crypto investment schemes. As attackers integrate AI to scale these operations and exploit cryptocurrency for money laundering, experts warn that organizations must treat social engineering as a structural infrastructure threat rather than a simple training issue, as diplomatic solutions remain unlikely in the current geopolitical climate

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.

For today’s cybersecurity professionals, the biggest problem isn’t a lack of data – they have plenty of it. They just don’t know how to transform it into actionable insights. The problem isn’t a lack of defense tools either. Quite to the contrary: Teams juggle on average 83 different solutions from nearly 30 vendors, inviting unnecessary..

The problem with how we monitor identity risk today For years, dark web monitoring has been positioned as the frontline defense against compromised credentials and identity exposure. If your data showed up on the dark web, you got an alert. If it didn’t, you assumed you were safe. That model no longer reflects reality. 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.

Under a new model announced by the National Institute of Standards and Technology, NVD will no longer enrich every CVE. Instead, enrichment efforts will focus on a defined subset, including vulnerabilities in the CISA KEV catalog, software used by the federal government, and software designated as critical.
