Colonel Georgeo Xavier Pulikkathara, CISO at iMerit discusses the importance of fundamentals, continuous learning, and human ingenuity in the face of AI-driven cybersecurity evolution.

This week didn’t produce one big headline. It produced many small signals — the kind that quietly shape what attacks will look like next. Researchers tracked intrusions that start in ordinary places: developer workflows, remote tools, cloud access, identity paths, and even routine user actions. Nothing looked dramatic on the surface. That’s the point. Entry…

Today’s “AI everywhere” reality is woven into everyday workflows across the enterprise, embedded in SaaS platforms, browsers, copilots, extensions, and a rapidly expanding universe of shadow tools that appear faster than security teams can track. Yet most organizations still rely on legacy controls that operate far away from where AI interactions actually occur. The result…

The elusive Iranian threat group known as Infy (aka Prince of Persia) has evolved its tactics as part of efforts to hide its tracks, even as it readied new command-and-control (C2) infrastructure coinciding with the end of the widespread internet blackout the regime imposed at the start of January 2026. “The threat actor stopped maintaining…

Iranian threat actors have been stealing credentials from people of interest across the Middle East, using spear-phishing and social engineering.

A new, critical security vulnerability has been disclosed in the n8n workflow automation platform that, if successfully exploited, could result in the execution of arbitrary system commands. The flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-25049 (CVSS score: 9.4), is the result of inadequate sanitization that bypasses safeguards put in place to address CVE-2025-68613 (CVSS score: 9.9), another critical…

Cybersecurity researchers have disclosed details of an active web traffic hijacking campaign that has targeted NGINX installations and management panels like Baota (BT) in an attempt to route it through the attacker’s infrastructure. Datadog Security Labs said it observed threat actors associated with the recent React2Shell (CVE-2025-55182, CVSS score: 10.0) exploitation using malicious NGINX

Since its launch in 2023, DragonForce has pushed a cartel model, emphasizing cooperation and coordination among ransomware gangs.

A third of the “flipped” CVEs affected network edge devices, leading one researcher to conclude, “Ransomware operators are building playbooks around your perimeter.”

By tapping the unusual .scr file type, attackers leverage “executables that don’t always receive executable-level controls,” one researcher noted.
