Hello.

Crypto ATM scams often follow a predictable script – here’s how to recognize it and what to do if you’ve already been caught out Many of us still view cryptocurrency as a niche asset. Yet some estimates claim that nearly one in 10 people globally own some. That’s why you may have noticed Bitcoin or crypto ATMs springing up in retail stores, transport hubs, and gas stations over recent years. Today there are tens of thousands in the US alone. Their job is simple: allow you to

Expand your detection horizons. Seeing is believing. Nowadays, businesses are running so many devices in their environments that IT teams can hardly keep up with servicing them. Add security on top of this, and the result is more chaotic than good. Even a smallish SOC can have trouble dealing with alerts coming in from separate solutions designed to protect one perimeter only: endpoints, email, cloud apps, virtual identity… the list goes on. Is it feasible to jump around dash

Understanding the difference is critical because modern attacks rarely stop at malware. The traditional network perimeter has largely disappeared. Employees work remotely, access cloud applications from personal and corporate devices, and routinely connect from locations far beyond the office firewall. As a result, laptops, mobile devices, servers and virtual machines have become primary targets for attackers. Many organizations still think in terms of antivirus alone. Antivi

Scams are increasingly convincing and easier to mass produce. Learn how to avoid them. Scams can reach a user by email, text message, phone call, social media post, ad or website. Their stories differ, but the pressure tactics are familiar: urgency, fear, secrecy, an unexpected prize or a deal that seems too good to be true. This guide helps you recognize common scam patterns, pause before acting and know what to do next if you have already clicked a link, made a payment, ins

As AI opens new paths to company data while making familiar attacks faster and cheaper, SMBs need protection designed around the time and expertise available to operate it AI has moved quickly into the daily work of small and mid-size businesses (SMBs). Many have moved past chatbots and begun assigning work to AI agents in the hope of gaining an edge on their similarly resource-strapped competitors and levelling the playing field with larger companies. Indeed, the ambitious a

A flashing virus warning on your computer or mobile device can be alarming. But most browser-based alerts are scareware designed to trick you. They’re not a sign that your device is infected. Here’s how to spot fake virus alerts and what steps to take next to stop scammers from stealing your money and data. What is a fake virus alert? The anatomy of browser scareware There are few things more alarming than opening your laptop to see a warning pop-up flashing on your screen. B

Our critical infrastructure now depends on systems hundreds of miles above Earth. The security risks? Closer than you think. Our satellites are in danger. As pieces of critical infrastructure, they support connectivity over vast distances, covering everything from remote wind farm monitoring to ensuring GPS connectivity for even the most isolated locations. Amidst it all is data. Data so critical that nation-states fear for the resilience of their satellite networks, as the s

Whether you’re a victim, the parent of a victim, or just concerned, here’s what you can do about fake nude images For all AI’s wonders, there’s a darker underbelly to tech innovation. And it doesn’t get much darker than ‘nudification’ or ‘nudify’ apps. They use AI-powered deepfake technology to change an image of a clothed person to one that appears as if they’re naked, by simulating anatomical features. But let’s be clear, just because the image isn’t technically real, it do

ESET researchers document SparroWocky, the new flagship backdoor of the FamousSparrow APT group ESET Research’s ongoing monitoring of FamousSparrow has borne fruit once again. Our previous public report on FamousSparrow revealed that this China-aligned APT group had developed two new versions of its custom backdoor named SparrowDoor. This time, we discovered that FamousSparrow has switched to a new backdoor, SparroWocky, and has been deploying it to several countries in Latin

Independent testing validates ESET’s ability to prevent, detect and respond to complex enterprise attacks while keeping operational impact low. Cybersecurity has moved far beyond the question of whether an organisation has antivirus installed. Modern attacks are rarely a single event. They can begin with a phishing email, establish an initial foothold, execute malicious code, evade security controls, obtain credentials, move laterally across an environment and ultimately atte
