Monitoring software powered by artificial intelligence (AI), also known as bossware, is changing how employers track employee performance and determine actions related to employee status, such as promotion or termination. While this data-centric approach may appeal to employers, it also raises questions about fairness and the dangers of digital micromanagement. Tracking beyond time metrics According […]

Phishing is the buzzword in everyone’s mouth. As the most common method of cyber-threat, it’s a way of playing on victims’ emotions to coerce them into disclosing sensitive data.

While over 90% of cyberattacks begin with a phishing email, that is not the only way that phishers reach out to their victims. Since our digital messages have expanded far beyond our electronic inboxes, so too have phishers found other avenues for reaching out to victims and extorting money and personal information from them.

Ransomware attacks affect 66% of organizations, no matter the size. The average fee demanded exceeded $2.5B in 2024. The danger only grows as AI advances and threat actors use cutting-edge technology to generate ransomware code faster, and execute it more efficiently.

A new study reveals that cybersecurity checklists often fall short when it comes to preventing real-world software hacks. But don’t fret. In this article, we explore in detail 10 practical steps developers can take to protect code and safeguard users. Limit access based on roles Not everyone needs access to every part of a system. […]

Chatbots like ChatGPT, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot and the recently released DeepSeek have revolutionized how we interact with technology, offering assistance with almost every task imaginable — from drafting e-mails and generating content to writing your grocery list while keeping it within your budget.

But as these AI-driven tools weave themselves into our daily routines, questions about data privacy and security are becoming harder to ignore. What exactly happens to the information you share with these bots, and what risks are you unwittingly exposing yourself to?

Think ransomware is your worst nightmare? Think again.

Hackers have found a new way to hold your business hostage — and it may be even more ruthless than encryption. It’s called data extortion, and it’s changing the rules of the game.
