Vimeo has disclosed that data belonging to some of its customers and users has been accessed without authorization following the recent breach at the Anodot data anomaly detection company. The video platform says that the threat actor accessed email addresses for some of its customers, but most of the exposed information included technical data, video titles, and metadata. “We have identified that, as a result of the Anodot breach, an unauthorized actor accessed certain Vimeo user and customer data.

LinkedIn is rolling out Off-Platform Event Ads, giving marketers a new way to promote events without needing a native LinkedIn Event Page. What’s happening. The new format allows advertisers to run Event Ads that link directly to external destinations — such as webinar platforms, landing pages or livestream sites — instead of keeping traffic on LinkedIn. This marks a shift from platform-contained experiences to more flexible, marketer-controlled journeys. How it works. Marketers can create an Event Ad using a third-party URL, add event details like date and format, and choose from objectives including awareness, engagement, traffic or lead generation. Clicks…

CFOs and boards need to understand risk in financial terms. Insurance data can do this. Obtaining adequate cybersecurity budget from the board requires translating technical risk into business financial risk – an ability that is not always available to security technicians. Resilience, a firm that provides insurance, risk decision support and consultancy, can assist. Through its insurance service, Resilience can directly relate financial loss to specific cybersecurity events and their likely occurrence, allowing CISOs to present technical risk as the monetary risk that CFOs and board members readily understand. The firm’s latest analysis does this for ransomware in manufacturing, which…

In a separate advisory, Cisco’s Talos threat intelligence service said a group it calls UAT-4356 is behind Firestarter, as part of its continued targeting of Firepower devices. Other researchers call the group Storm-1849, and identify the campaign targeting networking devices from Cisco and other vendors as ArcaneDoor, dating back to 2023. Critical failure in ‘patch and forget’ mentality CISA believes threat actors compromised Cisco firewalls by exploiting CVE-2025-20333 and/or CVE-2025-20362 early last September, before patches to plug these holes were released. In the example analyzed by the CISA, the hacker then deployed the LineViper shellcode loader to install a VPN that the threat actor…

UPDATEThe ongoing GlassWorm campaign has deployed a fresh wave of malicious Visual Studio (VS) Code extensions, many of which seem initially benign but later deploy self-replicating malware that can poison the software supply chain.Researchers from Socket discovered a new cluster of 73 so-called “sleeper” extensions beginning in April, which is related to activity by the self-propagating malware reported last month on the Open VSX marketplace. The latest wave demonstrates that the campaign continues to scale and evolve, according to a recent report published by the Socket Research Team. A sleeper extension or package is a threat actor-controlled imposter that is published…

Boost your skills with Growth Memo’s weekly expert insights. Subscribe for free! I normally write about strategy and search behavior, not labor markets. But the SEO job market is the clearest leading indicator I’ve seen of how companies are actually valuing AI skills, so I followed the data off the usual map. 946 SEO job postings show companies are willing to pay a premium for AI skills. But the signal is buried in descriptions, and the salary premium only truly activates at mid-level and above. SEO jobs that mention AI in the title pay $113,625 at the median compared to…

Threat hunters are warning that the cybercriminal operation known as VECT 2.0 acts more like a wiper than a ransomware due to a critical flaw in its encryption implementation across Windows, Linux, and ESXi variants that renders recovery impossible even for the threat actors. The fact that VECT’s locker permanently destroys large files rather than encrypting them means even victims who opt to pay the ransom cannot get their data back, as the decryption keys are discarded by the malware during the time encryption occurs. “VECT is being marketed as ransomware, but for any file over 131KB – which is…

Every brand holds its claims, and somewhere in the archive of its digital life, there’s proof to back them up.  The AI assistive engine (the systems behind ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews) holds that proof too, scattered across its training data and retrieval index, alongside competitors’ claims.  The audience has a need but no vocabulary to bridge the gap between what they want and what the brand or the engine already knows. All three lack the same thing: a frame, the interpretive context that turns scattered information into a narrative worth transmitting (for the brand), citing (for AI), and…
