And the problem is widespread; Google Cloud reports that weak or nonexistent credential protection facilitates 47% of cloud breaches, while IBM X-Force attributes nearly one-third of global cyberattacks to account compromises. So what does this mean for your organization’s defenses? Here’s what you need to know about how to protect y

On February 21, the largest crypto heist ever started to unfold. Hackers gained control of a crypto wallet belonging to the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange, Bybit, and stole almost $1.5 billion of digital tokens.

OpenAI just launched a powerful new image generation model. In their announcement post, they touted the new model's many new capabilities, including photorealism, better knowledge of the world, and the ability to learn from user-uploaded images. But the most noteworthy of these changes, in my opinion, is the new text-rendering capability. At long last, a frontier lab has produced an image gen model that renders text as text, instead of as melty AI slop. This makes generated AI images much mor

'Garbage' to blame Ukraine for massive X outage, experts say He said the incident at X "doesn't reflect well on their cyber security." "I can't think of a company of the size and standing internationally of X that's fallen over to a DDoS attack for a very long time," he added.
