An Iran-nexus threat actor is suspected to be behind a password-spraying campaign targeting Microsoft 365 environments in Israel and the U.A.E. amid ongoing conflict in the Middle East. The activity, assessed to be ongoing, was carried out in three distinct attack waves that took place on March 3, March 13, and March 23, 2026, per Check Point. “The campaign is primarily focused on Israel and the U.A.E., impacting more than 300 organizations in Israel and over 25 in the U.A.E.,” the Israeli cybersecurity company said. “Activity associated with the same actor was also observed against a limited number of targets in Europe, the United States, the…

Workflow automation tools automate repetitive business tasks across systems using defined triggers and logic. These platforms link apps, CRM data, and communication channels to execute multi-step processes without manual handoffs — routing a new lead through email nurture, scoring it, and assigning it to a rep in a single automated sequence.

For years, base model Samsung Galaxy S phones had two things going for them — they were the smallest flagships on the market and were relatively affordable. With the Samsung Galaxy S26 bumping the price by $100 and growing the screen to 6.3 inches, it’s time for a new identity. After using it for two weeks, the Galaxy S26 is as confusing a device as ever.On one hand,…
Security spending continues to edge upward across large organizations, though the changes remain gradual and tightly managed. The 2026 RH-ISAC CISO Benchmark reflects a steady environment where budgets expand in small steps, even as AI becomes a routine part of security operations. Budget growth stays measured Spending levels increased during 2025 across both IT and security. Average IT spend as a share of revenue rose to 3.9% from 3.2% the year before. Security spend followed a similar path, reaching 0.75% of revenue, up from 0.57%. Security’s share of the IT budget moved slightly to 5.8%. Planning for 2026 continues along…
Human-written content dominates Google’s top rankings, appearing in the No. 1 position 80% of the time versus just 9% for purely AI-generated pages, based on a Semrush analysis of 42,000 blog posts. The details. Semrush analyzed 20,000 keywords and their top 10 results, classifying content with an AI detector. Human-written pages outperformed AI and mixed content across all top 10 positions. The gap was widest at Position 1, where human content was 8x more likely to rank. AI content appeared more often lower on Page 1, nearly doubling from Positions 1 to 4. Yes, but. AI detection tools are widely…
Quantum resource estimates suggest encryption barriers may fall faster than expectedReduced qubit requirements bring theoretical attacks closer to practical realityBitcoin’s cryptographic foundations face pressure from advancing quantum algorithm efficiencyGoogle researchers have revised expectations around the computational requirements needed to break widely used cryptographic systems protecting cryptocurrencies.The company’s latest whitepaper claims a future quantum machine could solve the elliptic curve discrete logarithm problem using significantly fewer resources than previously assumed.Earlier estimates suggested millions of qubits would be required to break encryption schemes such as secp256k1, which underpins Bitcoin security.Article continues below You may like New quantum findings reduce crypto security timelinesThe…
It’s getting harder and harder for governments to ignore the impact that data centers are having on their communities, consuming vast amounts of water and driving up electricity prices, experts say. According to a Pew Research Center analysis, data centers consumed 183 terawatt-hours of electricity in 2024, more than 4% of total U.S. electricity use. That demand is projected to more than double to 426 terawatt-hours by 2030. The impact is significant. In 2023, data centers consumed about 26% of Virginia’s electricity supply, although Virginia is notable for having an extremely dense collection of data centers. Alan Howard, senior analyst…
Fortinet released an emergency hotfix after security researchers discovered the vulnerability being exploited as a zero-day.
For a long time, I treated my home lab like a problem that could be solved if I just made one more smart upgrade. There was always a better layout, a cleaner dashboard, a more elegant backup flow, or a more efficient way to run the same handful of services. I kept telling myself I was getting closer to the version that would finally feel finished. What I actually built was a cycle where the lab never sat still long enough to prove it was working. I didn’t stop experimenting. I stopped experimenting without a reason. The strange part is…
Exploit code has been released for an unpatched Windows privilege escalation flaw reported privately to Microsoft, allowing attackers to gain SYSTEM or elevated administrator permissions. Dubbed BlueHammer, the vulnerability was published by a security researcher discontent with how Microsoft’s Security Response Center (MSRC) handled the disclosure process. Since, the security issue has no official patch and there is no update to address it, the flaw is considered a zero-day by Microsoft’s definition. It is unclear what triggered the public release of the exploit code. In a short post under the alias Chaotic Eclipse, the researcher says “I was not bluffing Microsoft, and I’m…
