Immutable backup: Why it matters for ransomware recovery

Backups are often the last line of defense when ransomware reaches business-critical systems. But modern ransomware attacks do not target production data alone. Attackers may also search for backup repositories, compromise backup administrator accounts, change retention policies or delete recovery points before encrypting the live environment. When clean backup copies are no longer available, recovery becomes slower, more expensive and less predictable.

The EU AI Act Is Here. Is Your AI Environment Ready?

AI has moved from experimentation to operational reality. Last year saw a 50% rise in access to AI for employees, with 88% of organizations using AI in at least one business function. Competitive pressure is accelerating AI adoption. While this creates opportunity, it also creates a new level of operational risk.

ClickFix Social Engineering is Now the Leading Malware Delivery Method

The ClickFix social engineering technique is now the top malware delivery method, according to a new report from ReliaQuest. These attacks trick users into copying a malicious command, then pasting it into a terminal and running it on their computers. “ClickFix remained the dominant delivery method this period and, for the first time, we observed it expand to macOS, delivering infostealers onto a platform many organizations still monitor less closely than Windows,” the researchers write.

Scammers Can Use AI Tools to Pinpoint Your Location Based on a Photo

Scammers can use AI tools to find your location in photos you post to social media, according to researchers at McAfee. This information can then be used in targeted social engineering attacks. The researchers found that free AI models can correctly identify a photo’s location with around 90% accuracy.

How Aikido Intel detects malware and vulnerabilities first

TL;DR: Aikido Intel is a real-time supply chain intelligence feed. It detects both malware and vulnerabilities in open-source ecosystems. Aikido's world-class researchers maintain our LLM-powered pipeline to find malware and validate the most malicious cases by hand. The vulnerability detection system monitors package changes across ecosystems to catch and document vulnerabilities that don’t have CVEs assigned.

Quantum Security Threats to Encryption Systems: Why RSA and ECC Are No Longer Enough

For nearly fifty years, RSA and ECC have quietly protected your bank logins, medical records, and government secrets. That trust is now expiring. In May 2025, a researcher at Google Quantum AI showed that a 2048-bit RSA key could be cracked by a machine with fewer than a million noisy qubits, roughly twenty times less hardware than the same scientist estimated back in 2019. Problems that once kept attackers out for billions of years are sliding toward solvable in days. Worse, sensitive data is already being stolen and stockpiled for a future decryption payday.

Why Every Company Should Consider Random Drug Testing

Maintaining a secure office space requires proactive steps from modern business leadership. Many corporate owners overlook the daily workplace hazards that unaddressed substance issues can easily create on the job site. Lack of awareness can lead to severe operational setbacks for the entire company. Implementing smart safety measures protects your valued workforce and your bottom line. Random screenings offer an unbiased path toward a cleaner, more focused work environment for everyone. Taking action now positions your enterprise for long-term operational success.

8 Fleet Cybersecurity Metrics Worth Tracking

Running a modern fleet involves far more technology than it did a decade ago. Vehicles now connect with GPS devices, mobile apps, cloud platforms, maintenance software, and outside service providers. Those tools make routine work easier, but every connection also creates another place where credentials, equipment, or sensitive information could be exposed.
