Internet security giant Cloudflare announced that it lost 55% of all logs pushed to customers over a 3.5-hour period due to a bug in the log collection service on November 14, 2024.

I'm looking at getting started in cybersecurity. I'm hoping to pass the CompTIA Security+ this month. Are there any projects that I could work on to improve my résumé?

Blue Yonder, a supply chain software provider for Starbucks and other retailers, confirmed service disruptions caused by a ransomware attack.

"The app locates where Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Mozilla Firefox store their cookies, queries for cookies with names they are interested in (such as MUID), retrieves their encrypted content, and then proceeds to decrypt them, all without user intervention," Rivera said in response to Microsoft's claims. "The cookie values then appear to get sent to or are used by Microsoft."

After a year of consultation, discussions and amendments, the Cyber Security Act which requires certain businesses to report ransom payments has passed by the parliament.

Hi,

I'm looking for a E2EE and decentralized (or self hosted) videoconferencing that would have the following feature

• video or voice-only call
• share screen
• files transfer (optional)
• text chat

( all of it E2EE )

I'm considering Jitsi meet, that seem the meet those requirements

Do you know better alternatives or do you have remarks about Jitsi ?

Thanks.

As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to revolutionize industries, the cybersecurity field faces a dual-edged sword of opportunities and threats. StrongDM's latest report, "The State of AI in Cybersecurity," highlights the growing concerns and readiness of cybersecurity professionals to tackle AI-driven challenges. Based on a survey of 600 cybersecurity professionals, the report sheds light on pressing issues around AI regulation, perceived threats, defense confidence, and the future of the cybersecurity workforce.

Key Findings from the Survey:

Regulation Concerns: 76% of cybersecurity professionals believe AI should be "heavily regulated" to prevent misuse, underscoring the need for balance between safety and innovation.

AI-Driven Threats: A significant 87% of respondents expressed concerns about AI-driven cyberattacks, with malware (33%) and data breaches (30%) ranking as top threats.

Preparedness Levels: Only 33% of professionals feel "very confident" in their current defenses, and 65% of companies admit they are not fully prepared for AI-powered attacks.

Workforce Impact: Despite challenges, two-thirds of respondents feel optimistic about AI's potential to enhance, rather than replace, jobs in cybersecurity.
