The cyber security firm reported in its latest annual report that their researchers found more than 30.4 million phishing emails last year.
Connected devices make up one of the largest attack surfaces on the modern Internet. Billions of devices, many with little to no consideration given to their secure operation, controlling everything from sewage treatment systems to safety-critical vehicle functions. As a result, security research on the low-level firmware that control these devices has become more important than ever. But how is a research to get access to closed-source firmware for proprietary hardware to begin with? One method that we have been using for some ongoing research is intercepting firmware from updater apps that use Bluetooth to perform over-the-air updates.
As reported by The Washington Post, Apple received notice of a possible request in March 2024, but the official ask occurred in January 2025.
Most IT leaders believe generative AI will increase the cost of their security tools, according to Sophos research. But, by the looks of cyber crime forums, hackers are barely using AI.
As a Senior Crisis Consultant in the cybersecurity industry, I see a shift in how organizations prepare themselves for a potential cyber crisis. Traditional risk assessment methods are no longer sufficient. They often result in measures only being taken for the most likely incidents.
However, it is usually events considered unlikely that cause the greatest impact, for which organizations are not prepared. Regulators recognize this, so here is my wake up call: prepare for the WORST…
I see two big challenges organizations face:
Determining what the worst case scenario could be and to what extent you should prepare.
Linking the technical, operational and tactical response to strategic crisis management.
Let’s look at how you can start to tackle these challenges.
Ransomware payments dropped 35% in 2024 due to law enforcement crackdowns and stronger cyber defenses, forcing attackers to adapt with new tactics.
Sophos has completed its acquisition of managed cyber security services provider Secureworks.
The Cyber Code of Practice applies to developers, system operators, and organisations that create, deploy, or manage AI systems.
