How to Prevent Active Directory Attacks by Securing Privileged Accounts

Feb 10, 2026 By Fidelis Security In Fidelis Security
Let’s be honest—when Active Directory is compromised, the incident is never small. Almost every major enterprise breach involves Active Directory at some point.

One phishing scam, one rogue USB stick, one "I'll-just-connect-to-this-coffee-shop-Wi-Fi-for-a-minute" moment and everything can unravel. You'd think big companies would be immune with all their resources, right? Tell that to MGM Resorts, which hemorrhaged over $100 million in 2023 due to a single compromised login. A phone call.

Why This eScan Antivirus Supply Chain Attack Is a Security Nightmare

Feb 4, 2026 By foresiet In Foresiet
In mid-January 2026, one of the most ironic cybersecurity incidents in recent memory occurred: eScan antivirus software from MicroWorld Technologies began delivering malware to its own users. Attackers gained unauthorized access to a regional update server and quietly replaced a legitimate update component with a malicious version.

What A Real Nation State Cyber Attack Looks Like

Feb 2, 2026 By Razorthorn Security In Razorthorn
A realistic nation state style attack is less cinematic blackout and more slow grind, with degraded services, conflicting information and outages that are hard to prioritise. Public confidence erodes as friction spreads and misinformation amplifies the chaos, and history shows societies fail when trust in key systems collapses faster than those systems adapt.

Feb 1, 2026 By Razorthorn Security In Razorthorn
A central government department relied on a part time virtual security lead, ageing tools and no central view of security data, with nobody owning real decisions.
