The launch marks a significant expansion of WorkNestGroup’s cybersecurity offering...

Cost talk around servers tends to rot into slogans. “Cloud is cheaper.” “Dedicated is safer.” “Shared is fine.” None of that pays a bill. A business saves money on a VPS only when someone counts the boring parts: the monthly plan, storage add-ons, bandwidth overages, time spent on updates, outages that eat revenue and developer hours lost. "Is the cloud slow today?” Annual savings live in those details. One clean comparison across twelve months can...

In January 2026, Martin Kuchar, one of the organisers of BTC Prague, received a message on Telegram. A familiar contact, a compromised account, a familiar context, an invitation to jump on a call. The link led to a page visually identical to Zoom. What followed was the standard script: audio issues, a prompt to install an update. That was all it took. This is not phishing in the classical sense. There is no suspicious email...

Modern trading apps have opened up global financial markets to UK investors like never before. Today, these platforms process billions of data points daily, making the security of live data a massive technical challenge. The High Stakes of Real-Time Trading Data When traders interact with a chart, they rely on the accuracy of the price quote to make split-second decisions. If a data feed suffers from high latency or is manipulated, it creates a discrepancy...

Pentest-Tools.com has released a free, no-login scanner for CVE-2026-41940, the critical authentication bypass affecting cPanel & WHM and WP Squared that has been actively exploited in the wild since at least February 2026. The vulnerability, rated CVSS 9.8 Critical and added to CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, allows an unauthenticated attacker to bypass cPanel's login process entirely by exploiting a CRLF injection flaw in cpsrvd, the cPanel service daemon. By manipulating the whostmgrsession cookie, an...

New research from Keeper Security reveals that 89% of IT leaders struggle to manage the growing identity footprint amid AI expansion. The Identity Security at Machine Speed Report features insight from 200 cybersecurity decision-makers and senior IT leaders across Europe, the United States, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East. The study examines the challenges cybersecurity decision-makers face as identity ecosystems expand to include humans and a growing number of Non-Human Identities (NHIs), and finds that legacy...

Global cybersecurity company Huntress has announced a major expansion of its global channel ecosystem, adding four new distribution partners to accelerate growth across the mid-market, public sector, and EMEA regions.

Proton Mail has today announced the rollout of post-quantum encryption (PQC) across its email platform, making quantum-resistant key generation available to all users, including those on free plans, in what the company describes as a proactive step ahead of the quantum computing era. The feature, which users can opt into via Proton Mail's encryption key settings, allows the generation of post-quantum-ready keys for newly sent encrypted emails. Proton's existing encryption standards, RSA and Elliptic Curve...

A 2025 study in Communications of the ACM tested 1,276 participants’ ability to spot AI-generated images, audio, and video. Average accuracy was 51.2% – literally no better than a coin flip. Participants scored worse on synthetic content (38%) than on real content (64%).  The problem is that most people default to thinking what they see is real. As synthetic media becomes more common across business, media, and online communication, the need for tools that can...

Global businesses are racing to deploy artificial intelligence, sometimes at the expense of their cybersecurity postures. The rise of “agentic AI” is especially notable, due to its potential to automate business workflows, cloud operations, engineering tasks and cybersecurity. Not only are AI agents getting more capable, but they can also work much faster than humans, without taking breaks or needing days off. Companies can get more work done at lower costs, and in some cases...
