A quiet tweak in a popular open-source tool opened the door to a supply chain breach—what started as a targeted attack quickly spiraled, exposing secrets across countless projects.
That wasn’t the only stealth move. A new all-in-one malware is silently stealing passwords, crypto, and control—while hiding in plain sight. And over 300 Android apps joined the chaos, running ad fraud at scale behind

Cybersecurity researchers have uncovered two malicious extensions in the Visual Studio Code (VSCode) Marketplace that are designed to deploy ransomware that’s under development to its users.
The extensions, named « ahban.shiba » and « ahban.cychelloworld, » have since been taken down by the marketplace maintainers.
Both the extensions, per ReversingLabs, incorporate code that’s designed to invoke a

If given the choice, most users are likely to favor a seamless experience over complex security measures, as they don’t prioritize strong password security. However, balancing security and usability doesn’t have to be a zero-sum game. By implementing the right best practices and tools, you can strike a balance between robust password security and a frictionless user experience (UX).

After conducting over 10,000 automated internal network penetration tests last year, vPenTest has uncovered a troubling reality that many businesses still have critical security gaps that attackers can easily exploit.
Organizations often assume that firewalls, endpoint protection, and SIEMs are enough to keep them secure. But how effective are these defenses when put to the test? That’s where
