Every CISO knows the uncomfortable truth about their Security Operations Center: the people most responsible for catching threats in real time are the people with the least experience. Tier 1 analysts sit at the front line of detection, and yet they are also the most vulnerable to the cognitive and organizational pressures that quietly erode SOC performance over time. The Paradox at the Gate:

The threat actor behind the recently disclosed artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted campaign targeting Fortinet FortiGate appliances leveraged an open-source, AI-native security testing platform called CyberStrikeAI to execute the attacks. The new findings come from Team Cymru, which detected its use following an analysis of the IP address (“212.11.64[.]250”) that was used by the suspected

This week in cybersecurity from the editors at Cybercrime Magazine
Sausalito, Calif. – Mar. 3, 2026Ralph Echemendia is a world-renowned cybersecurity expert, known internationally by his alter ego “The Ethical Hacker.”
In 2015, WIRED called Ralph Echemendia “Hollywood’s go-to digital bodyguard, a reformed hacker from the dark side who now helps filmmakers, celebrities, and moguls keep their valuable data secure.”
His jaw dropping “Hacking Hollywood” appearance has been presented at Creative Artists Agency, the Digital Entertainment World Expo, as well as the Anti-Piracy and Content Protection Summit.
Echemendia has worked with award-winning Director Oliver Stone as a technical supervisor on films such as “Savages” and “Snowden” as well as other projects such as the film “Nerve” and award-winning TV series Mr. Robot.
Scott Schober, author of the popular book “Hacked Again,” and host on the Cybercrime Magazine Podcast, recently interviewed Echemendia, covering his days as a teenage hacker and his thoughts on today’s threats posed by AI.

SloppyLemming, an India-linked espionage group also known as Outrider Tiger and Fishing Elephant, has run a year-long cyber campaign against high‑value targets in Pakistan and Bangladesh using a new BurrowShell backdoor and a Rust-based remote access tool (RAT). This activity builds directly on earlier operations exposed by Cloudflare’s CloudForce One in 2024. However, it shows […]

A new phishing framework called Starkiller is raising the bar for “phishing-as-a-service” by serving victims the real login pages of major brands through attacker infrastructure, making pages look authentic and stay up to date. By acting as a live reverse proxy, it can capture credentials and, more importantly, steal session cookies/tokens after the victim completes multi-factor authentication (MFA), enabling […]

A new wave of malvertising activity linked to the threat group “D‑Shortiez” has been observed exploiting a WebKit browser flaw to hijack the back button on Safari and other iOS browsers. This technique revives a classic forced‑redirect approach that traps users on fraudulent landing pages, showing how persistent ad‑based threat actors continue to evolve their […]

Keygraph has released Shannon, a fully autonomous AI-powered penetration testing tool designed to identify and actively exploit real vulnerabilities in web applications before malicious actors can. Unlike traditional scanners that generate alerts, Shannon delivers proven, reproducible exploits, closing the dangerous security gap that exists between annual pentests and continuous code deployments. How Shannon Works Shannon emulates […]
