LLM-based code scanners won’t help attackers build a nuclear weapon, but that refusal could work in their favor Malware developers have long adapted their code and tactics to the defenses and scrutiny that are likely to stand in their way. Using various evasion and anti-analysis methods, they routinely attempt to hinder code analysis or prevent their malware from revealing its true behavior while under inspection. Other tools – notably, EDR killers, documented extensively by

AI scams are now hyper-realistic. But there’s one simple way to see through them. AI voice scams are no longer as niche as they once were. The technology is both cheap and convincing: a worrying combination that has lowered the barrier to entry for would-be scammers. According to a Hiya report from March, one-in-four Americans say they’ve received a deepfake voice call in the past 12 months. A further quarter (24%) say they can’t tell the difference. The same study reveals th

LAGOS, NIGERIA — 8 September 2026 A recently reported incident involving rogue AI agents taking control of a German programming website highlights a growing cybersecurity concern: AI systems are moving beyond generating information and increasingly have the ability to act, coordinate and adapt with limited human oversight. According to research reported by Reuters, a swarm of AI agents hijacked DseWiki, a German-language programming wiki, in May and carried out more than 15,0

In the era of instant communication and remote approvals, business email compromise shows how quickly routine processes can become attack paths. With Business Email Compromise (BEC), attackers impersonate or take over a trusted identity to trick victims into sending money, credentials, or sensitive information to an unauthorized recipient. It can be especially difficult to detect, as attackers can compromise legitimate inboxes or phone numbers, spoof addresses, identities, or

AI gives security teams more speed and scale, but not a free pass on the basics. Security teams use artificial intelligence (AI) to sift through huge volumes of telemetry, spot activity that deserves attention, and make investigations more efficient. At the same time, cybercriminals are experimenting with many of the same technologies to improve phishing campaigns, automate fraud, and increase the scale of their operations. That creates a lot of confusion. Some headlines por

Don't panic if you spot an illegally created image or video of you online – there are ways to request its removal Tackling deepfakes has become something of a common cause across the political spectrum, in America and elsewhere. That's down in part to the fact these fabricated videos and images are becoming both more commonplace and realistic. Thanks to generative AI (GenAI) tools, it's extremely quick, cheap and easy to make fake media impersonating a real person. While some
