Artificial intelligence—it’s a term you’ve likely encountered more than once today, and this won’t be the last. And while it reshapes how businesses operate, it’s also introducing new risks. As organizations embrace AI-powered tools for efficiency and innovation, it becomes essential to understand what technologies your vendors rely on, and what those choices mean for your cybersecurity posture.

This report details an investigation into a Fast Flux network observed in 2024. It covers the technical details of the network, its observable infrastructure, the malware associated with it, and its presence on the dark web.

SIM swapping is not a novel cyber threat; it has been a persistent issue for over a decade. This technique exploits vulnerabilities in mobile carrier procedures and identity verification protocols. Attackers employ social engineering tactics to deceive telecom providers into transferring a victim’s phone number to a SIM card under their control.

In the cybersecurity landscape, sensational headlines and alarming vulnerability disclosures are commonplace. Recent events have been a whirlwind, with claims of massive data breaches and widespread vulnerabilities affecting critical infrastructure. From the overstated impact of Next.js middleware vulnerabilities to the exaggerated reach of Nginx ingress issues, it's clear that the cybersecurity community needs a reality check.

Ransomware attacks are surging, and Bitsight data shows just how dramatic the rise has been. Our cyber threat intelligence (CTI) researchers observed a nearly 25% increase in unique ransomware victims listed on leak sites in 2024.

Cybersecurity weaknesses span both software and hardware systems, creating numerous opportunities for exploitation. Among the most common access vectors leveraged by threat actors are phishing attacks and Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs). When left unpatched, CVEs can pose significant risks to an organization’s systems, exposing sensitive data and operational assets to potential compromise.

For the second time in a row, Bitsight has been named an Overall Leader in the KuppingerCole Leadership Compass for Attack Surface Management (ASM)—and it’s not just a title. The report offers a deep dive into how organizations are using ASM to get ahead of cyber threats by proactively managing their digital risk.

Threat Intelligence (TI) has become the secret weapon of modern security teams—essential for identifying possible emerging threats before they escalate. But TI is only as valuable as its accuracy, relevancy, and timeliness. Unfortunately, many traditional TI approaches can no longer keep up, as security teams are plagued with information overload: too many signals, too little context, and limited resources to process everything. This is why the coupling of GenAI and TI is a game changer.

Welcome to 2025, where thousands of internet-connected cameras meant to protect us are actually putting us at risk. In our latest research at Bitsight TRACE, we found over 40,000 exposed cameras streaming live on the internet. No passwords. No protections. Just out there. We first raised the alarm in 2023, and based on this latest study, the situation hasn’t gotten any better.
