Cybersecurity news is a critical resource for professionals safeguarding digital assets, as it informs the threat landscape and provides insight into how attackers are adapting. By staying up-to-date on cybersecurity trends, practitioners can better protect their clients and organizations from attacks that exploit outdated defenses.
Attackers are getting more sophisticated in their approaches, leveraging AI to improve the speed, scope, and impact of their attacks. By combining the power of AI and brute force, they are more effectively targeting and impersonating employees to steal sensitive data and money. Attackers are also leveraging advanced techniques such as ransomware and watering holes to evade detection and escalate their attacks.
Newly disclosed attacks illustrate how attackers continue to target critical infrastructure, global corporations, and their supply chains. For example, the City of Baltimore lost $1.5 million in a BEC attack where the attacker impersonated a vendor and manipulated internal processes to make fraudulent EFT payments. Similarly, the CitrixBleed vulnerability impacted major organizations such as Boeing, ICBC, and logistics company DP World.
Keeping up with cybersecurity news is crucial for safeguarding digital assets, as new vulnerabilities and threats emerge daily. Zero-day vulnerabilities — flaws that are exploited before vendors release patches — remain a favorite weapon for ransomware groups and state-sponsored attackers, who can use them to gain access to systems. Vulnerability exploitation was linked to 20% of breaches in the 2025 Verizon DBIR, and it’s becoming even more important for defenders to prioritize their risk management efforts with the help of tools like CVSS scoring, threat intelligence, and AI-based vulnerability triage.
