The Booking.com Breach: What Happened and What It Means for You
While the situation is still developing, reports indicate that the incident was not a traditional “hack” of Booking.com’s systems. Instead, attackers gained access through a more common and increasingly effective method: Social engineering and account compromise.
That distinction matters because it changes how the attack works and how you need to think about protecting yourself.

AI Voice Scams: When a Fake Phone Call Sounds Real
The phone rings: It sounds like your CEO, or your manager, or a vendor you work with all the time.
The tone is familiar, urgency feels real, request sounds legitimate…but none of it is real.
Using modern artificial intelligence, cybercriminals can now clone a person’s voice with surprising accuracy. In some cases, they only need a few seconds of audio to make an effective copy. A webinar, a video clip, or a podcast could provide everything needed to recreate how somebody

A Popular Tool Was Compromised — Here’s Why That Matters to You
Most people never think about the software behind the apps they use every day. They simply open a program, log in, and then get to work.
What many do not see is that modern software is built using thousands of smaller components. When one of those components is compromised, it can pose a risk to the entire system. Those dangers extend far beyond the threat to a single application.
That is exactly what happened in a recent incident involving a widely used development tool ca

What Is a Supply Chain Attack?
When you think of a cyber-attack potentially affecting your workplace, what comes to mind?
Phishing emails, weak passwords, and unpatched networks get the brunt of the blame, but some of the most damaging breaches don’t start there at all. They start with someone you already trust.

Deepfake Videos and Why Verification Matters
Not long ago, if you saw a video of someone speaking, then you trusted it was real. That is no longer a safe assumption.
Artificial intelligence now allows criminals to create highly realistic deepfake videos — fake videos that convincingly show real people saying or doing things that never actually happened. These are not low-quality internet pranks. They are sophisticated social engineering tools used to commit fraud, spread misinformation, and pressure employees into maki

Why Human Habits Are Your Biggest Security Risk
Most cyberattacks do not start with a sophisticated intrusion. They start with a click on a personal email, a reused password, or a file uploaded to a familiar cloud service because the approved option felt slower.

What is Passkey Migration and How Can It Help Your Team Eliminate Passwords?
Your team locks everything down with passwords. Some are strong, some are not, and most have been reused somewhere over the years. Every month, IT fields reset requests. Every year, the same breach reports list stolen credentials as the leading cause.
There is now a more effective path that does not require users to memorize anything.
Passkey migration is the process of moving from traditional passwords to passkeys: a form of phishing-resistant authentication that uses you

The “Zombie” SaaS Audit: Finding the 3 Apps Your Former Employees Still Access
Someone leaves the company on a Friday. By Monday, their email account is disabled, and their laptop is back in the pile.
What nobody checks is their login to the project management tool they signed up for in Q3, the cloud storage folder they shared with a contractor, or the CRM access they still have from two roles ago.

Stop the Bleeding: How Revoking Admin Rights Eliminates Support Tickets
The most time-consuming ticket in your queue is rarely a hardware failure. It’s the PC infection that started when a user installed something they shouldn’t have been able to. Or it’s the broken configuration left behind after someone changed a setting IT can’t trace.
Local administrator rights (the ability to install software, modify system settings, and override security controls) are given to end users far more often than the risk warrants.
The usual reason is efficienc

Is Your Invoice a Deepfake? Securing Your Accounts Payable Process Against Voice and Email Cloning
It’s a statistic that sends a shiver down the backs of SME owners, managers, and employees.
According to the FBI’s 2025 Internet Crime Report, business email compromise (BEC) cost US businesses more than $3 billion last year.
This makes it one of the most financially damaging cybercrimes on record.
AI has made these attacks harder to detect. The question for AP teams is no longer whether they can identify suspicious requests. It is whether the processes around payments

Adversary-in-the-Middle Attacks: How Phishing Sites Steal Your Active Login
You click a link, sign in, approve the MFA prompt, and get on with your day. Completely unaware that someone else just logged into your account at the same moment.
That scenario surprises many businesses, particularly those that rely on multi-factor authentication (MFA) to protect cloud accounts. But this is exactly how Adversary-in-the-Middle (AiTM) phishing attacks work.

The “Session Cookie” Hijack: Why MFA Can’t Always Save You
MFA is a strong front-door lock. But it’s not the only thing that decides whether someone can get in.
After you sign in, your browser keeps you logged in using a session token (often stored as a cookie). It’s the digital version of a wristband at an event: once you’ve been checked, the wristband proves you belong there. If an attacker steals that wristband, they may not need to beat your MFA prompt at all.

The “Legacy Debt” Audit: Identifying the 3 Oldest Risks in Your Server Room
The most dangerous thing in a server room is often the phrase, “Don’t touch that.”
It’s usually said with a half-joke and a grimace. It refers to the old box that “still works”, runs something important, and has survived so many fixes and workarounds that nobody feels confident changing it anymore

The “Backup Exit” Strategy: Can You Move Your Data Without the Vendor’s Help?
When you first sign up for a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform, everything is designed to feel effortless.
The problem is that the first real test of a SaaS relationship isn’t the onboarding. It’s the exit.
For many small businesses, the front door is wide open, but the emergency exit is bolted shut: exports are incomplete, key data sits in proprietary formats, and leaving requires expensive vendor help.

Micro-SaaS Vetting: The 5-Minute Security Check for Browser Add-ons
Browser add-ons have a funny reputation. They feel “small”. A quick install. A tiny productivity boost. A harmless little helper that lives in your toolbar.
But in practice, a browser extension is more like a micro-SaaS vendor sitting inside your browser session. It can see what you see, interact with the pages you open, and sometimes access the same cloud apps your business runs on all day.
That’s why a browser extension security check matters.
Not because every extensio

LinkedIn “Social Engineering”: Protecting Your Staff from Fake Recruitment Scams
A fake recruiter message is one of the cleanest social engineering tricks around because it doesn’t look like a trick.
That’s why LinkedIn recruitment scams work so well inside real businesses.
They don’t arrive as malware. They arrive as a normal conversation that nudges someone toward one small action: click this link, open this file, “verify” this detail, move the chat to a different app.
A few simple checks, a couple of hard-stop rules, and an easy way to report suspi

“Clean Desk” 2.0: Securing Your Home Office from Physical Data Leaks
In the traditional office, a “Clean Desk” policy was a simple habit: shred the sensitive stuff, lock it away, and don’t leave passwords where someone can see them.
In 2026, the same idea still matters, but the “desk” has changed.
