When a $1 million hacker bounty becomes a cybersecurity warning

A reported $1 million reward for information that could identify an alleged hacker is the kind of number that grabs attention. But the more important story for security teams is what sits behind the headline: Attackers continue to pursue access to financial accounts, identities and credentials, and organizations need defenses that assume those attacks will keep coming.

Attackers don't need costumes when they can log in to Microsoft 365

Halloween is full of disguises, but a cyberattacker does not need a costume to get inside a Microsoft 365 environment. A stolen password or malicious app consent can be enough. From there, the intruder may appear to be an ordinary user doing ordinary work. That is what makes identity compromise so unsettling: The front door can look perfectly familiar. Phishing can trick users into sharing credentials or granting access.

Cyberattacks hit grocery retail, exposing supply chain risk

In October 2026, Reuters reported that supermarket operator Ahold Delhaize still had websites and apps offline five days after a cyber incident. Coverage from The Packer framed the wider issue around the cold chain and produce security, while Fox News highlighted the effect on major U.S. grocery chains. The latest cyber incidents affecting grocery retailers are a useful reminder that the impact of an attack is measured in more than encrypted endpoints or exposed data.

10 new Acronis integrations helping MSP workflows run better

MSPs rely on an expanding mix of tools to protect clients, manage services and keep everyday operations moving.

Acronis expands MDR toward broader workspace protection

Cyberattacks do not respect normal business hours: They can happen at night, on weekends and during holidays. Acronis MDR by Acronis TRU gives partners 24/7/365 expert monitoring, investigation and response without having to build their own security operations center (SOC). Acronis is expanding the MDR service with capabilities that make this expertise easier to deliver and help partners address more risks. The developments build on a broader commitment to managed security.

Acronis Cloud Storage adds a recovery warranty

Backup is not the outcome. Recovery is. When critical data becomes unavailable, businesses need more than a completed backup job. They need confidence that their data is protected, available and ready for recovery. That is why Acronis is introducing the Anti-Ransomware Recovery Warranty for eligible customers using Acronis Cloud Storage. The capability adds a clear recovery commitment to the secure cloud storage foundation customers already rely on.

What are the lessons of Cybersecurity Awareness Month?

This year's National Cybersecurity Alliance Cybersecurity Awareness Month theme, “Don’t make it easy for them,” asks us to look beyond today’s cyber risks by building good habits into our everyday routines. Practicing those habits consistently can make life harder for cybercriminals. While technology continues to transform how we work and communicate, one thing remains unchanged: Strong cybersecurity starts with people.

Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud earns maximum score in AV-TEST Advanced Threat Protection test

Author: Alexander Ivanyuk Advanced attacks often use trusted Windows components and legitimate-looking files to conceal malicious activity. A manipulated DLL can run through a signed executable, while a scheduled task can launch PowerShell to load harmful code. These techniques make independent testing valuable because a security product must recognize the attack chain, not only a suspicious file.
