It suggests that cybercriminals are shifting tactics. Furthermore, they are moving away from the “spray and pray” mega-breaches of the past. Instead, they are…
We often picture incident response (IR) as a perfect machine. Alarms ring, the team acts, and they stop the threat with precision. Reality looks different. A major breach feels less like a movie and more like a chaotic “fog of war.” Incident response plans Jon David, Managing Director at NR Labs, identifies the biggest vulnerabilities. They aren’t technical. They are human. David recently discussed these failures with Help Net Security. He explained why IR plans often crumble under pressure. We spend millions on tools. Yet, we neglect the trust and communication that actually determine success. The Speed of Trust vs.…
The conversation around Copilot AI is changing quickly. Microsoft once positioned its assistant as a central part of the future of work, embedding it into Windows and Microsoft 365.

Over the past year, Microsoft has invested billions into artificial intelligence, betting heavily that Copilot AI would become the default productivity companion for businesses. Yet new research shows that although many…

More recently, sources cited by MacRumors claimed references inside an early iOS…
