Hello.

Have you ever received a package you never ordered? It could be a warning sign that your data has been compromised, with more fraud to follow. Global e-commerce sales are predicted to exceed $6.4 trillion in 2025. And a large share of these will come via marketplaces. But while they ostensibly offer convenience and safety for consumers and expanded reach for businesses, there is a darker side to the industry. In 2024, Amazon alone proactively blocked  over 275 million suspec

A comprehensive analysis and assessment of a critical severity vulnerability with low likelihood of mass exploitation ESET researchers examined CVE‑2025‑50165, a serious Windows vulnerability described to grant remote code execution by merely opening a specially crafted JPG file – one of the most widely used image formats. The flaw, found and documented by Zscaler ThreatLabz, piqued our interest, as Microsoft assessed its severity as critical but deemed its exploitability as

Aviation and aerospace can’t fly under cyber threat actors’ radars anymore. Man has always been keen on pushing past preconceived limits. The Wright brothers  made the skies the limit … until Neil Armstrong took a giant leap for mankind by stepping onto the surface of the moon. None of these advances would have been possible without the ingenuity of tinkerers, scientists, and engineers, or the fearlessness of test pilots. In recent years, software developers have become a new

If you don’t look inside your environment, you can’t know its true state – and attackers count on that I recently had, what I thought, was a unique brainwave. (Spoiler alert: it wasn’t, but please read on!) As a marketing leader at ESET UK, part of my role is to communicate how our powerful and comprehensive solutions can be implemented to protect organisations, in a way that helps clarify the case for upgrading to higher levels of cybersecurity. And that need for clarity is

The hidden treasure in the latest MITRE ATT&CK® Enterprise Evaluation is in the summaries and data deep-dives, not in headlines from vendors with high sales intent, under pressure to “sell” Detection & Response. As a result, even astute readers may miss the forest for the trees, seeing only individual performances and yet-t

Identity is effectively the new network boundary. It must be protected at all costs. What do M&S and Co-op Group have in common? Aside from being among the UK’s most recognizable high street retailers, they were both recently the victims of a major ransomware breach. They were also both targeted by vishing attacks that elicited corporate passwords , providing their extorters with a critical foothold in the network. These identity-related breaches cost the two retailers over £

The discovery of PromptLock shows how malicious use of AI models could supercharge ransomware and other threats ESET researchers have discovered what they called "the first known AI-powered ransomware". The malware, which ESET has named PromptLock, has the ability to exfiltrate, encrypt and possibly even destroy data, though this last functionality appears not to have been implemented in the malware yet. While PromptLock was not spotted in actual attacks and is instead though

How top-tier managed detection and response (MDR) can help organizations stay ahead of increasingly agile and determined adversaries.   How long does it take for threat actors to move from initial access to lateral movement? Days? Hours? Unfortunately, the answer for many organizations is increasingly “minutes.” In fact, at 48 minutes, the average breakout time in 2024 was 22% shorter than the previous year, according to one report . Adding to the concerns is another figure f
