Evil Twin attack prevention has become more difficult than ever. With affordable, easy-to-use tools, these attacks are now more accessible and harder to detect, leaving customers vulnerable to sophisticated account takeovers without the usual phishing hallmarks. Tools like the Wi-Fi Pineapple Mark VII ($299) create rogue networks and phishing portals, while the ESP8266 Deauther V4 ($15) disrupts Wi-Fi handshakes to force devices onto less secure networks.

SIM swapping is not a novel cyber threat; it has been a persistent issue for over a decade. This technique exploits vulnerabilities in mobile carrier procedures and identity verification protocols. Attackers employ social engineering tactics to deceive telecom providers into transferring a victim’s phone number to a SIM card under their control.

SCATTERED SPIDER, an eCrime adversary, has recently broadened its target scope to include the aviation sector, in addition to its established focus on the insurance and retail industries, as observed by CrowdStrike Services. Throughout Q2 2025, SCATTERED SPIDER's activities have primarily centered on U.S.-based insurance and retail entities, along with U.K.-based retail entities.

Imagine handing over your house keys to someone who looked trustworthy - only to discover later they were an impostor. Everything that entered or left your home was compromised, and you never saw it coming. That’s what happens in your network when ARP spoofing strikes. The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) helps devices find each other on a local network by matching IP addresses to MAC addresses.

As organizations adopt hybrid and multi-cloud architectures, the attack surface quickly expands, often outpacing defender’s ability to see and stop threats. This growing complexity fuels risk — creating blind spots adversaries exploit through cloud misconfigurations, excessive permissions, and unpatched vulnerabilities. These conditions allow attackers to break in, move laterally, and gain higher levels of access.

DDoS Defense with up-to-the-minute network analysis has become crucial as these attacks have disrupted network security for almost 20 years. The landscape changed dramatically in 2018 when the first multi-terabyte per second DDoS attacks crippled major organizations. GitHub experienced a massive 1.3TB/s attack that year, which dwarfed the previous record – a 602GB/s attack on the BBC just two years earlier.

One of the most dangerous aspects of the dark web is that it provides like-minded threat actors a haven to gather, discuss, develop, and sell access to technology companies, which are often the first link in a supply chain attack. Alternatively, it's an environment where those looking to enter the world of cybercrime and initiate a third-party attack can buy the tools necessary to begin their operation. Trustwave SpiderLabs report Technology Industry Deep Dive.

Aflac, one of the largest American insurance companies, reported that cybercriminals breached its systems on June 20, 2025. Suspicious activity first occurred on Aflac’s U.S. network on June 12, and Aflac initiated its incident response plan to contain the spread of the cyber attack within several hours. At the time of this writing, Aflac’s investigation is still in the early stages, and the insurance giant hasn’t reported on how many of its customers were affected.

A new survey has found that 64% of C-Suite executives in cybersecurity or data center roles view data breaches and ransomware attacks as the top threat to companies over the next decade.
