Everyone Knows About Broken Authorization - So Why Does It Still Work for Attackers?

Broken authorization is one of the most widely known API vulnerabilities. It features in the OWASP Top 10, AppSec conversations, and secure coding guidelines. Broken Object Level Authorization (BOLA) and Broken Function Level Authorization (BFLA) account for hundreds of API vulnerabilities every quarter. According to the 2026 API ThreatStats report, authorization issues ranked ninth in the API Top 10, “reflecting chronic difficulty in managing roles and permissions at scale.”

Nation-State Threat Actors Incorporate AI to Streamline Attacks

Researchers at Google’s Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) warn that nation-state threat actors have adopted Gemini and other AI tools as essential components of their operations. The threat actors are using tools to conduct research and reconnaissance, target victims, and rapidly create phishing lures.

LevelBlue SpiderLabs: APAC Emerges as Primary Target for Manufacturing Cyberattacks

The Asia-Pacific region is home to the highest concentration of manufacturing sites on the planet, so it comes as no surprise that manufacturers here absorb more attacks than the rest of the world combined. LevelBlue SpiderLabs compiled the Manufacturing Threat Landscape 2025 report, which noted that 56% of all attacks targeting the manufacturing sector occurred in the APAC region. This is compared to 22% in North America, Europe (16%), and Africa (2%).

Prompt Injection Attacks: Why AI Security Starts with IAM

AI agents are rewriting the rules of efficiency, but one hidden flaw could turn them against you. Prompt injection attacks let hackers hijack your AI, steal data, and break safeguards straight through everyday inputs. No code exploit is required, only a clever manipulation. Identity and Access Management (IAM) plays a massive role in AI security to protect at first hand.

Leaked Credentials: The Hidden Supply Chain Powering Modern Ransomware Attacks

Ransomware incidents are often perceived as sudden, destructive events triggered by malicious payloads. In reality, many modern ransomware attacks begin much earlier and in a far less visible way: with compromised credentials and pre-existing access sold in underground markets. Threat intelligence collected from access broker activity and credential exposure sources indicates that ransomware operators increasingly rely on purchased access rather than direct exploitation.

How Conduent Lost 25 Million Records in 83 Days: The DLP Failure Everyone Missed

For 83 days, attackers moved freely through Conduent's systems and exfiltrated 8 terabytes of healthcare records, Social Security numbers, and personal data belonging to tens of millions of Americans. No alarm sounded. No transfer was blocked. The breach was discovered when systems stopped working. Not because anyone detected the data leaving.

What Is a Deauth Attack? How Thieves Disable Security Cameras

Wi-Fi doorbells such as Ring and Nest have become a staple in home security. They promise peace of mind, showing you live footage of your doorway to deter thieves. Up until now this has been an effective security method, but doorbell footage has started going missing, and deauth devices are responsible.

How likely is a man-in-the-middle attack?

Security vendors love the man-in-the-middle attack. It’s the boogeyman of every TLS marketing page. Some shadowy figure intercepting your traffic, reading your secrets, stealing your data. A man-in-the-middle attack is when an attacker positions themselves between two parties on a network to intercept the traffic flowing between them. In the context of TLS, that means an attacker who can present a valid certificate can read everything in plaintext and proxy it on to the real server.
