ToxicPanda is a banking trojan designed to infiltrate your mobile device, stealing financial details by targeting banking & financial apps. The malware keeps evolving, with the developers behind it being quick to add new features, such as overlaying pin & pattern codes, overlaying credential inputs for specific banking apps, allowing cybercriminals to remotely take control of compromised bank accounts and initiate unauthorized money transfers.

In this article The alarm wasn’t a breach. It was an invoice. A mid-sized enterprise onboarding a new analytics vendor found themselves tangled in a post-implementation scramble: customer data had been shared without encryption, the vendor’s security posture was based on trust alone, and legal had skipped the SLA review because “they’d worked with them before.” What followed wasn’t a data loss, but something quieter and more corrosive, an erosion of confidence.

For a AI software company like Riscosity, which helps organizations secure and govern data flows to third parties, compliance is not just a regulatory requirement—it is central to the value proposition. Recognizing this, Riscosity has launched a dedicated Trust Center at trust.riscosity.com, powered by industry leader Vanta, to streamline how it communicates its compliance posture with current and prospective customers.

Industry experts with over a decade of cybersecurity experience recognize that the old ways of doing risk assessment just don’t work anymore. You know what I mean? Those quarterly checklists and vulnerability scans that made us feel secure? They’re practically useless against today’s threats. Think about it. While you’re running your scheduled scan, attackers are already inside your network, mapping everything out.

Acreed, a new malware-as-a-service (MaaS) platform, appears to have taken the top spot in the infostealer ecosystem. We suspect this is due to the takedown of Lumma Stealer (LummaC2) in May 2025. In just its first week, Acreed was observed uploading over 4,000 stolen credential logs to a dark web Russian Market.

A serious new vulnerability (CVE-2025-53770, also known as “ToolShell”) is actively being exploited by cybercriminals to hack into on-premises Microsoft SharePoint Servers. The vulnerability, along with CVE-2025-53771 was discovered around July 18, 2025. Bitsight Research classifies CVE-2025-53770 as 10 out of 10 on our Dynamic Vulnerability Exploit (DVE) scale and CVE-2025-53771 as a 5.82 out of 10 indicating severe and moderate urgency respectively.

For decades now we’ve been locked in this game of cat-and-mouse where attackers develop a new technique and defenders catch up, or defenders introduce a new control and attackers adapt. From the evolution of network security to identity and access control, many of our technical controls have matured into strong and reliable defences. Yet as we continue to see in the media, attackers continue to get in, compromising even the most mature and secure of environments, in seemingly simple way.
