Hackers have breached critical infrastructure organizations in the Netherlands using a vulnerability in Citrix’s NetScaler products, highlighting the serious risks facing the thousands of systems still running vulnerable NetScaler instances. “Several critical organizations in the Netherlands have been successfully attacked” using the memory-overflow vulnerability in NetScaler ADC and NetScaler Gateway, the Dutch National Cyber Security […]
Some of the most widely used AI agents and assistants from Microsoft, Google, OpenAI and other major companies are susceptible to being hijacked with little or no user interaction, according to new research from Zenity Labs. During a presentation at the Black Hat USA cybersecurity conference, Zenity researchers showed how hackers could exfiltrate data, manipulate critical […]
As businesses race to incorporate AI into their workflows, hackers have also found the technology useful for understanding their targets and bypassing the social and technical barriers that stymied their past attacks. The Iran-linked hacking team Charming Kitten, for example, “likely” used AI to generate messages as part of a 2024 phishing campaign against U.S. […]

Security experts have been talking about Kerberoasting for over a decade, yet this attack continues to evade typical defense methods. Why? It’s because existing detections rely on brittle heuristics and static rules, which don’t hold up for detecting potential attack patterns in highly variable Kerberos traffic. They frequently generate false positives or miss “low-and-slow” attacks altogether. Is […]
