Firebase Misconfigurations
A recent investigation revealed that dozens of mobile applications are unintentionally exposing highly sensitive data because of misconfigured Firebase services. In many cases, unauthenticated attackers can reach into databases, storage buckets, Firestore collections, and Remote Config systems. Here are the key findings: Around 150 Firebase endpoints tied to popular apps were found to be publicly […]
Ransomware Attack at Airport
UK law enforcement has arrested a man in West Sussex in connection with a major ransomware attack that disrupted airports across Europe-including London Heathrow, Brussels, Dublin, and Berlin. The suspect, in his forties, was detained under the UK Computer Misuse Act and released on conditional bail. The core of the problem was a failure in […]
North Korean Cyber Attack
In a sobering reminder of how far threat actors will go, cybersecurity researchers recently uncovered a sophisticated campaign tied to North Korea in which malicious actors used fake job applications as the entry point into target networks. The ruse is clever: pose as an innocent job candidate, get your foot in the door, then quietly […]
SolarWinds & Exploited Vulnerability
SolarWinds has released a hotfix addressing a critical remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability in its Web Help Desk product, tracked as CVE-2025–26399.

ShinySP1D3R Ransomware Targets VMware
Security researchers have identified a new ransomware-as-a-service called ShinySP1D3R that specifically targets VMware ESXi hosts. The campaign focuses on hypervisor environments to encrypt virtual machines at scale, amplifying impact by disrupting entire data centers and cloud stacks rather than single endpoints. Attackers typically gain initial access through compromised administrative credentials, exposed management interfaces, or vulnerable […]
Building Cyber Resilience
The cybersecurity landscape is entering a new era, one where both threats and defenses are evolving at unprecedented speed. On one side, quantum computing promises breakthroughs in processing power that could one day break today’s encryption standards. On the other side, artificial intelligence is reshaping defense strategies by enabling faster detection and more automated response. […]
