A critical vulnerability has been identified in the Next.js React framework, posing a significant security risk by allowing attackers to bypass middleware-based authorization checks under specific circumstances.

The flaw, identified as CVE-2025-29927, has received a CVSS severity rating of 9.1 out of 10, underscoring its critical nature.

In 2025, the cyber security landscape was shaken by the official debut of the Belsen Group – a new group that exploited over 15,000 vulnerable configurations of FortiNet firewalls in 144 countries. This event not only highlights the risks associated with known vulnerabilities but also serves as a lesson about the importance of compromise assessments and prompt remediation. 

The Belsen Group entered the cyber scene with a post on the dark web stating:

I discovered these interesting open-source Local AI Tools for image generation that run locally. Explore their features, capabilities, and how they empower creativity without relying on cloud services.

Ever since I realized that AI was shaping the future, I’ve been fascinated by its endless possibilities.

I’m someone who enjoys testing large language models (LLMs) on my devices, and the open-source approach to data has always been my preference.

Cybersecurity governance has undergone a massive transformation over the past few decades. What once functioned as a peripheral concern, an afterthought to business operations, has now become a central pillar of enterprise risk management. Today, security is no longer just an IT function; it is a strategic imperative that demands board-level attention.

In today’s data-driven world, data breaches can affect hundreds of millions or even billions of people at a time. Digital transformation has increased the supply of data moving, and data breaches have scaled up with it as attackers exploit the data-dependencies of daily life. How large cyberattacks of the future might become remains speculation, but as this list of the biggest data breaches of the 21st Century indicates, they have already reached enormous magnitudes.

‌‌Linux is a free and open-source Unix-based operating system. As a result of Linux's security and flexibility, its use is gaining a great deal of attention these days. A Linux distro is an operating system that relies on the Linux kernel.‌‌

A Linux server or high-end cloud device might be used on a desktop computer or laptop, but on a personal computer or laptop, it can be difficult to use. However, times have changed since then. ‌‌

The RansomHub group has recently emerged in the ransomware scene, but that doesn’t mean it has failed to gain rapid notoriety for its sophisticated attacks. This article aims to analyze the group by exploring its history, operational methods, and compromised victims.

Passwords often go unnoticed until a security breach occurs—only then do users realize their critical role in protecting personal and organizational data. Despite this, many people remain unaware of just how vulnerable their passwords are to attackers who leverage sophisticated cracking techniques. Below, we explore three common password-cracking methods and the best ways to defend against them.

Brute Force Attacks

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) establishes an encrypted tunnel between your device and a secure server, ensuring that all your data remains private and protected from prying eyes. By masking your IP address, a VPN helps you stay anonymous online while preventing unauthorized access to your browsing activity.

Beyond security, VPNs also provide online freedom by allowing users to bypass censorship and access geo-restricted content. Once installed, a VPN enables users to safely browse global content with just a single click.

A sophisticated cyberespionage campaign linked to Chinese state-sponsored actors has exploited a previously patched Check Point VPN vulnerability (CVE-2024-24919) to infiltrate organizations across Europe, Africa, and the Americas, according to cybersecurity researchers.

The attacks, observed between June 2024 and January 2025, primarily targeted the manufacturing sector, deploying ShadowPad malware and, in limited cases, the NailaoLocker ransomware.
