DDoS attacks have long been dismissed as blunt instruments, favored by script kiddies and hacktivists for their ability to overwhelm and disrupt. But in today's fragmented, hybrid-cloud environments, they've evolved into something far more cunning: a smokescreen. What looks like digital vandalism may actually be a coordinated diversion, engineered to distract defenders from deeper breaches in progress.

When dealing with a cyber attack, the specter of a cyber attack looms large over corporations, with potential repercussions that can ravage both finances and consumer trust. The recent assault on retail giant Marks & Spencer by the notorious hacking group Scattered Spider demonstrates the profound vulnerabilities at stake. Understanding the breadth of such a cyber attack is crucial not only for recovering affected businesses but also for safeguarding future operations.

Just because you’re using a passkey doesn’t mean your password is gone. Microsoft is going passwordless in a new big push. As part of that new initiative, they are strongly pushing FIDO passkeys. I am a big fan of FIDO passkeys and FIDO in general. FIDO authentication offerings, including passkeys, are phishing-resistant, which makes them a HUGE improvement over passwords and most other multi-factor authentication products.

In today’s digital battlefield, attackers aren’t just breaking in—they’re sneaking past defenses, staying hidden, and making off with sensitive data long before anyone notices. While organizations invest in firewalls, antivirus tools, and endpoint protection, attackers are becoming smarter, faster, and harder to detect. We need detection that’s not only quick but also intelligent and proactive.

Pretexting is a fictional story threat actors use to trick you into giving them access to sensitive information. It is a popular scam that can happen online or in person, and it uses common phishing techniques to help threat actors achieve success in their pretexting scam. In this article, we cover: what is pretexting, how it works, examples of pretexting, and how to prevent it by subscribing to Internxt Drive and by increasing your cyberawareness online.

A constantly shifting threat landscape has given rise to a new cyberattack vector, driven by two powerful forces: the rapid migration of data to the cloud and the fundamental change in how employees access and interact with that data. Today’s workforce expects the freedom to work and access information from any device—especially mobile devices, which have become integral to their professional and personal lives.

A supply chain attack does not start with your firewall. It starts with someone else’s. Instead of targeting your company directly, a cyber attacker looks for weak spots in your organization’s supply chain. That could be a trusted third-party vendor, a widely used software supplier, or even an outdated package from an open-source code repository. Once they find an opening, they exploit security vulnerabilities to gain access to your systems without ever going through the front door.
