When ShinyHunters breached Instructure in April 2026, they didn’t just steal data — they exposed how dangerously unprepared the global education sector is for sophisticated cyber extortion. What happened? In late April 2026, the ransomware and extortion group ShinyHunters quietly compromised Instructure — the company behind Canvas LMS, the world’s most widely used learning management […]

Article Summary: Personal web habits are one of the least visible cybersecurity risks businesses face, especially when work and personal life share the same devices, browsers, and identities. Routine behaviour like checking personal email, reusing passwords, or signing into familiar apps can expose business data without anyone intending it. The safest approach reduces exposure with […]

As cybercriminals wield generative AI to launch faster, smarter attacks, defenders are racing to deploy their own machine intelligence — and the arms race is rewriting the rules of cybersecurity. For most of the internet era, cybersecurity was a fundamentally human problem fought with human-designed tools. Analysts pored over logs, signature databases catalogued known malware, […]

Article Summary: Passwords remain a leading cause of breaches, yet most teams still rely on them for daily access. Passkey migration replaces passwords over time with device-bound, cryptographic credentials that can’t be phished, reused, or stolen from a server. This shift reduces credential risk and helpdesk friction, and most teams already have the core infrastructure […]

Article Summary: AI-enhanced fraud is changing how criminals target finance teams, especially Accounts Payable. Attackers can use AI to produce convincing emails, realistic invoices, and even cloned voices that bypass the red flags teams once relied on. The most effective defence combines stronger verification steps, tighter payment processes, and a culture where pausing to confirm […]

Article Summary: Local admin rights used to make software installs and troubleshooting faster, but today they create avoidable risk and constant support noise. Removing admin access reduces malware exposure, limits configuration drift, and eliminates common ticket types caused by unapproved installs and high-impact setting changes. The most time-consuming ticket in your queue is rarely a […]

Article Summary: Most businesses remove a departing employee’s email access quickly, but leave their SaaS access scattered across other tools. Zombie accounts are the leftover logins, tokens, and permissions that remain active after someone leaves or changes roles. A practical SaaS offboarding audit finds where these accounts hide and closes them before they turn into […]

Article Summary: Adversary-in-the-Middle (AiTM) attacks are a modern phishing technique that steals active login sessions, not just passwords. Understanding how AiTM works helps businesses reduce exposure to phishing-resistant sign-ins, tighter session controls, and faster detection of suspicious access. You click a link, sign in, approve the MFA prompt, and get on with your day. Completely […]

Browser add-ons have a funny reputation. They feel “small”. A quick install. A tiny productivity boost. A harmless little helper that lives in your toolbar. But in practice, a browser extension is more like a micro-SaaS vendor sitting inside your browser session. It can see what you see, interact with the pages you open, and […]

A fake recruiter message is one of the cleanest social engineering tricks around because it doesn’t look like a trick. That’s why LinkedIn recruitment scams work so well inside real businesses. They don’t arrive as malware. They arrive as a normal conversation that nudges someone toward one small action: click this link, open this file, […]
