Phishing scams are the most common origin of data breaches. Threat actors convince their victims to send money or private information, usually spurred by false promises, threats, and forming a more personal relationship.

A major targeted and dangerous version of phishing is spear-phishing. Unlike generic phishing, which casts a wide net, spear-phishing targets specific individuals by using personal details to make scam messages more believable. With the advent of AI, these attacks have become even more efficient and dangerous.

If you’ve ever used the same password for more than one account, then you’re not alone. Unfortunately, more than 80% of account breaches originate from weak and repeated passwords.

Hackers count on that reuse. Every year, billions of stolen passwords from past data breaches flood the dark web. In fact, threat actors stole 3.2B private credentials in 2024.

On February 21, 2025, hackers from North Korea’s Lazarus Group executed the largest cryptocurrency heist in history, stealing $1.5B in Ethereum tokens from Bybit, a Dubai-based cryptocurrency exchange. The hackers exploited vulnerabilities in Bybit’s cold wallet infrastructure and used phishing attacks to gain access and download malware.

When you think about cyberattacks, you might envision a lone hacker behind the screen or a small group of criminals working together toward a larger, nefarious purpose. Yet some of the most sophisticated threats today come from nation-state actors.

Your phone buzzes…then again..and again. Login request after login request—until you finally approve one just to make it stop. That’s exactly what hackers want!

It’s already been a busy year for cyber-crime. Ransomware fees average at record highs. Artificial intelligence speeds the creation and hones the efficiency of malware attacks. The average data breach now costs over $5M.

If I asked you to name the biggest cybersecurity threats in your office, you’d probably say phishing e-mails, malware or weak passwords. But what if I told you that your office printer – yes, the one quietly humming in the corner – could be one of the biggest vulnerabilities in your entire network?

It sounds ridiculous, but hackers love printers.

Planning a vacation this year? Make sure your confirmation e-mail is legit BEFORE you click anything!

That’s right, summer is right around the corner and cybercriminals are exploiting travel season by sending fake booking confirmations that look nearly identical to e-mails from airlines, hotels and travel agencies.
