Closing the Ransomware Gap: Mexico’s Rising Cybersecurity Risk STORY INLINE POST Ransomware has evolved from a persistent cybersecurity threat into a business-critical risk with immediate operational, financial, and reputational consequences. Yet, despite years of investment and heightened awareness, many organizations remain unprepared for the reality of modern attacks. This challenge is especially visible in Mexico, where the threat landscape is accelerating. By 2025, Mexico had risen to 11th globally in ransomware attacks, making it one of the most targeted countries in the world and the second most affected in Latin America. Recent incidents highlight the stakes. Government entities have faced ransomware related breaches that exposed sensitive data, while more recent campaigns have targeted public sector systems and critical infrastructure. These are not isolated events. Mexico remains one of the most targeted countries in Latin America, particularly across manufacturing, financial services, and government sectors. New research from Halcyon’s "The Ransomware Gap in the AI Era" survey reveals a clear and concerning pattern: security leaders are confident, experienced and well resourced, but the tools they rely on are not keeping pace with today’s threat landscape. This disconnect is what we call the ransomware gap. At the center of this gap is a striking contradiction. Nearly all security leaders, 99%, say they are confident in their ability to detect ransomware attacks. Yet 49% of organizations still experienced an attack, and among those victims, nearly half reported detecting the attack too late to prevent meaningful damage. This is not a failure of leadership or expertise. It is a failure of approach. For years, organizations have relied on general purpose security tools such as endpoint detection and response to defend against ransomware. These tools were not designed for the speed, scale, and sophistication of modern ransomware campaigns. Today, 98% of organizations still use these tools,

President Donald Trump on Friday proposed significantly slashing the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s budget. The White House’s fiscal year 2027 budget would reduce CISA’s funding by $707 million, roughly 30% of its FY2025 budget of $2.4 billion. The administration said its proposal “refocuses CISA on its core mission” of protecting federal networks and helping critical infrastructure operators defend themselves from cyberattacks and physical threats. But the White House also repeated its criticism of CISA’s work with tech companies to stop the spread of misinformation in 2020, at the end of the first Trump administration, which it described as weaponizing the powers of government to stifle Americans’ online speech. “CISA was more focused on censorship than on protecting the Nation’s critical systems, and put them at risk due to poor management and inefficiency, as well as a focus on self-promotion,” the budget document said. The proposed budget cut, which is likely to face strong opposition from congressional Democrats, represents the latest blow to CISA under the second Trump administration. The agency has already lost one-third of its workforce, including many key employees, as well as the trust of partners in industry and state and local government. The Department of Homeland Security has not released a detailed budget proposal for CISA and other DHS agencies, so the specifics of the administration’s planned cuts to the cyber agency remain unclear. But the White House’s budget overview offers a few clues. Slashing partnerships The White House is proposing to codify its October layoffs of virtually all employees in CISA’s Stakeholder Engagement Division (SED), including personnel focused on liaising with critical infrastructure operators, foreign governments and U.S. universities. Under the administration’s plan, only one of SED’s four subdivisions — the one that handles CISA’s responsibilities as the Sector Risk Management Agency for eight of

West Virginia gives CISO greater authority to lead statewide cyber program West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey on Thursday approved legislation designed to strengthen the state’s cybersecurity and grow the authority of its chief information security officer, a role currently held by longtime state IT staffer Leroy Amos. The bill directs the state’s Cybersecurity Office, led by Amos, within the state’s Office of Technology, to standardize the state’s approach to cybersecurity. Amos is tasked with developing statewide cybersecurity policies and standards comprising a “framework” that ensures uniform compliance with the industry’s best practices. While discussing the bill in Charleston in recent months, state lawmakers claimed that much of West Virginia’s cybersecurity activities are the product of disparate, ad-hoc efforts, not carefully managed by a central authority keeping an eye on compliance across agencies, though the IT office has partially disputed this criticism. The bill’s enactment drew approval from the Alliance for Digital Innovation, a Washington nonprofit that advocates for laws and policies “that contribute to the development of a modern, 21st century digital government,” according to its website. In a letter to the governor urging his signature, Dan Wolf, the Alliance’s director of state programs, noted the legislation’s “thoughtful and forward-looking approach to managing cybersecurity risk” and its accommodation for “the shared and interdependent nature of cyber risk across agencies.” Wolf noted that the bill “ensures that software licensing practices do not restrict the state’s ability to deploy solutions on the infrastructure of its choosing, helping to prevent vendor lock-in and promote flexibility, competition, and cost efficiency,” a nod to one of the bill’s amendments, after concerns arose that new cybersecurity standards, too rigidly administered, might hamper the state’s hardware or software options. “Effective cybersecurity requires centralized governance, clear standards, and sustained oversight,” Wolf wrote, “and this legislation delivers all three.”

Cybersecurity researchers warn that the White House’s new app regularly shares users’ IP addresses, time zones and other data to third-party services. But most of its users wouldn’t know that, because the app doesn’t disclose its data sharing the way most others do. The cybersecurity experts’ reviews of the app code turned up a host of issues that they say make data — for both users and some White House staffers — vulnerable. Several told NOTUS they were shocked by the slipshod approach to cybersecurity by the federal government, especially while the U.S. is engaged in war. “The U.S. government’s infrastructure is being attacked from all sides right now, and having an amateur WordPress developer running the White House’s public presence puts everybody who visits it at risk,” Philip Fields, a cybersecurity researcher and former FBI intelligence analyst, told NOTUS. “If this were just some random app out on the App Store representing whatever small business … this would not be a story.” “But it’s not,” Fields said. “This is the White House.” Trending The app ranks as the third-most downloaded news app in the Apple App Store as of Friday. The White House released the app last week, and Trump on Monday promoted it as a source for “front-row access to all news from your favorite president.” He encouraged all of his fans to download it. A White House press release announcing the app’s launch said that it “delivers unparalleled access to the Trump administration.” A researcher shared screenshots with NOTUS showing that Elfsight — a third-party, Russia-founded software kit company that provides premade widgets for the app — makes public the personal information of some White House staffers through the app, as of Thursday. NOTUS is not publishing further details to protect the staffers’ privacy, but it was

IN an era where cyberattacks can cripple hospitals, disrupt economies and compromise national security within minutes, cybersecurity expertise is mission-critical. As artificial intelligence (AI) accelerates both innovation and cybercrime, organisations worldwide are racing to secure digital infrastructure against increasingly sophisticated threats. The demand for highly skilled cyber professionals has surged dramatically. Yet the true challenge lies not merely in producing graduates but in developing defenders who are workforce-ready. At the Asia Pacific University of Technology and Innovation (APU), cybersecurity education is immersive, industry-embedded and operational by design. A structured academic pathway in cybersecurity Its undergraduate programmes – the Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Computer Science (Cyber Security) and the Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Computer Science (Cyber Security) with a specialism in Digital Forensics – provide strong foundations in network defence, ethical hacking, secure systems, cryptography and threat analysis. Students who specialise in digital forensics gain investigative expertise critical for cybercrime analysis and incident response. At the postgraduate level, the Master of Science in Cyber Security deepens strategic, governance and research capabilities – preparing graduates for advanced technical roles and cybersecurity leadership positions. This structured education pathway takes students from foundational competence to strategic mastery. Competence-driven teaching and learning At the core of its education ecosystem is the Cybersecurity Talent Zone, featuring a fully operational Security Operations Centre (SOC) and a high-fidelity Cyber Range simulation environment. Students practise their skills using workflows aligned with industry standards. Crucially, they will complete 50 hours of live SOC operations, performing Tier-1 detection, incident response and threat escalation while monitoring real-time network traffic. This mandatory hands-on exposure ensures graduates do not merely understand cybersecurity frameworks but are able to execute them. When the Cybersecurity Talent Zone was launched, Cyber Test Systems chief executive officer and founder Greg Fresnais said that it established APU as

Enforcers project plans to strengthen European cybersecurity The European research and innovation project Enhanced Cooperation for Cybersecurity (Enforcers) kicked off on Feb. 10-11 at Wibu-Systems AG in Karlsruhe, Germany. The project brings together a consortium of industrial manufacturers, cybersecurity providers, and applied research organizations to address one of Europe’s most pressing challenges—ensuring resilient, trustworthy software throughout the lifecycle of industrial automation systems. The group met at the kickoff to settle on Enforcers’ strategic roadmap for the next three years, and set the stage for close cross-border collaboration enabled by European Union (EU) funding. The organization reports it’s designed to go beyond isolated security measures. Its primary objective is closing the loop between cybersecurity incident detection, coordinated response, certification and secure software redistribution in industrial environments. This is particularly relevant for automation and manufacturing, where software must often be updated across segmented, partially disconnected or heterogeneous operations technology (OT) networks. Consequently, the project’s core is a cybersecurity system platform that links multiple trusted instances into a securely chained “system circle” that includes: - Private security operation centers (SOC) that collect, correlate, and classify incident and vulnerability data; - Secure elements that act as trust anchors at OT edges and gateways; - Automated playbooks for vulnerability mitigation, certification and secure software updates; and - Cross-border, data-exchange mechanisms that allow SOCs and stakeholders to cooperate while respecting data sovereignty. Enforcers adds its approach directly supports compliance with the Network and Information Security 2 (NIS2) directive, and anticipates requirements of the EU’s Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), while remaining adaptable to future regulatory and technological developments. “Enforcers brings together technologies, processes and stakeholders into an operational cybersecurity framework,” explains Alvaro Forero, project coordinator at Wibu-Systems. “As coordinator, our responsibility is to ensure we’re building a cooperative system, where incident handling, trust anchors and secure software

Industry experts are warning of rising cybersecurity risks from AI agents, saying these tools can identify and exploit system vulnerabilities faster and more persistently than human hackers.
Shlomo Kramer, founder and CEO of cybersecurity and networking company Cato Networks, told CNN, “The agentic attackers are coming. This is a watershed event in the history of cybersecurity.”
Experts warn that AI can both intensify existing risks and accelerate the creation of new software exploits, with Kramer cautioning that each new generation of models will bring more serious cybersecurity threats.
AI Threats Trigger Cybersecurity Concerns
OpenAI had also raised concerns in December about its upcoming models posing a “high” cybersecurity risk.
George Ralph, Global Managing Director and Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) at RFA, echoed the same and told Benzinga that AI is heightening cybersecurity risks for private equity firms, making attacks more sophisticated and enabling even less-skilled hackers to carry out advanced scams.

Threat actors are increasingly using HTTP cookies as a control channel for PHP-based web shells on Linux servers and to achieve remote code execution, according to findings from the Microsoft Defender Security Research Team. "Instead of exposing command execution through URL parameters or request bodies, these web shells rely on threat actor-supplied cookie values to gate execution, pass instructions, and activate malicious functionality," the tech giant said. The approach offers added stealth as it allows malicious code to stay dormant during normal application execution and activate the web shell logic only when specific cookie values are present. This behavior, Microsoft noted, extends to web requests, scheduled tasks, and trusted background workers. The malicious activity takes advantage of the fact that cookie values are available at runtime through the $_COOKIE superglobal variable, allowing attacker-supplied inputs to be consumed without additional parsing. What's more, the technique is unlikely to raise any red flags as cookies blend into normal web traffic and reduce visibility. The cookie-controlled execution model comes in different implementations - - A PHP loader that uses multiple layers of obfuscation and runtime checks before parsing structured cookie input to execute an encoded secondary payload. - A PHP script that segments structured cookie data to reconstruct operational components such as file handling and decoding functions, and conditionally writes a secondary payload to disk and executes it. - A PHP script that uses a single cookie value as a marker to trigger threat actor-controlled actions, including execution of supplied input and file upload. In at least one case, threat actors have been found to obtain initial access to a victim's hosted Linux environment through valid credentials or the exploitation of a known security vulnerability to set up a cron job that invokes a shell routine periodically to execute an obfuscated PHP loader.

The growing digitalisation of museums and cultural institutions has created new opportunities for cybercriminals. This is the warning issued in a report by IndraMind Cybersecurity, the cybersecurity unit of IndraMind (Indra Group), which examines the most common identity and access management failures in these organisations through the lens of iconic works of art. The report notes that more than 1.8 billion credentials were stolen worldwide in the first half of 2025 alone, highlighting the scale of the problem. It also points to the rapid increase in machine identities –now reaching up to 83 for every human user– which adds complexity to access control and increases risk . Weak passwords and poor practices "The scream" by Edvard Munch is the first artwork used to illustrate one of the most persistent issues: poor password management. Sharing credentials, reusing them or storing them in insecure locations can turn a simple oversight into a critical security breach. "When a user 'shouts' their credentials, they expose sensitive information that can compromise the entire organisation," the report warns. This type of failure can lead to unauthorised access, data theft or exposure, lateral movement within networks, malware infections and cyberattacks such as ransomware. The impact is significant: more than 80% of data breaches are linked to compromised, weak or reused credentials. To address this, the report recommends: - Moving towards passwordless authentication models while strengthening password policies where they remain in use. - Training staff in secure credential management practices. - Regularly reviewing access rights and auditing credential usage. The risk of third-party access The second artwork referenced is "Liberty leading the people" by Eugène Delacroix, used to highlight the risks associated with third-party access. Restorers, curators, maintenance companies and technology providers often require temporary access to internal systems. However, if not properly managed, these permissions can

Operational Technology (OT) security safeguards the industrial systems, networks, and physical processes that power modern society. Unlike Information Technology (IT), which prioritizes data confidentiality, OT security focuses on the availability, reliability, and safety of physical operations, protecting the technology behind turbines, robotic arms, pumps, and pipeline valves. As Industry 4.0 drives the convergence of these traditionally isolated systems with enterprise networks, cyber resilience must account for equipment designed to run continuously for decades, far longer than the rapid refresh cycles of the IT world. What is OT (operational technology) security? Operational Technology (OT) refers to hardware and software that monitors or controls physical processes, from chemical reactions to mechanical production lines. OT security protects these systems from cyber threats that could disrupt operations, damage equipment, or endanger human safety. The OT domain uses specialized terminology reflecting its hierarchical control structure: • Industrial Control Systems (ICS): The command centers for processes ranging from automotive assembly to water treatment. • SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition): Systems that monitor and control geographically dispersed assets, such as regional power grids or pipeline networks. • PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers): Ruggedized, real-time computers that automate specific functions, like regulating pressure in a chemical reactor. • HMIs (Human-Machine Interfaces): The screens and consoles operators use to visualize and interact with process data. • MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems): Software that aligns plant floor operations with business goals and production schedules. These systems prioritize determinism, the guarantee that a command will execute within a specific timeframe. In OT environments, latency is a physical hazard: a delayed signal can cause mechanical failure or endanger personnel. The scale of industrial connectivity is expanding rapidly. According to IoT Analytics, the number of connected IoT devices reached approximately 21.1 billion by mid-2025, up from 18.5 billion in 2024, with projections approaching 39

Security researchers warn that chaining two critical vulnerabilities in Progress Software’s ShareFile service could allow an attacker to achieve remote code execution. The flaws exist in ShareFile Storage Zones Controller, which helps users manage files while they are using the ShareFile software-as-a-service interface, according to researchers at watchTowr Labs. The vulnerabilities include an authentication bypass flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-2699, and a remote code execution flaw, CVE-2026-2701. The vulnerabilities have severity scores of 9.8 and 9.1, respectively. Progress Software warned in a security bulletin released Thursday that an attacker could access on-premises Storage Zones Controller configuration pages, allowing them to make changes in system configuration or achieve remote code execution. There is no immediate evidence of exploitation, but researchers urged users to immediately apply security updates. Researchers from watchTowr said there were about 30,000 instances visible on the internet, while more targeted analysis from Shadowserver Foundation showed 784 unique IPs were exposed. The U.S. and Germany are the most widely exposed geographic locations, according to Shadowserver data. Researchers noted that similar file-transfer software has been a target of significant exploitation campaigns in recent years. Progress Software dealt with a wave of exploitation activity involving MOVEit file transfer software in 2023. Major government agencies and companies were targeted in a subsequent campaign from the Clop ransomware group. A less extensive exploitation wave involving Cleo file-transfer software occurred in 2024.

Cybersecurity researchers have discovered a new version of the SparkCat malware on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, more than a year after the trojan was discovered targeting both the mobile operating systems. The malware has been found to conceal itself within seemingly benign apps, such as enterprise messengers and food delivery services, while silently scanning victims' photo galleries for cryptocurrency wallet recovery phrases. Russian cybersecurity company Kaspersky said it found two infected apps on the App Store and one on the Google Play Store that primarily target cryptocurrency users in Asia. "The iOS variant, however, takes a different approach as it scans for cryptocurrency wallet mnemonic phrases, which are in English," the company said. "This makes the iOS variant potentially broader in reach, as it can affect users regardless of their region." The improved version of SparkCat for Android incorporates several obfuscation layers compared to previous iterations. This includes the use of code virtualization and cross-platform programming languages to sidestep analysis efforts. What's more, the Android version scans for Japanese, Korean, and Chinese keywords, indicating an Asian focus. SparkCat was first documented by Kaspersky in February 2025, highlighting its ability to leverage an optical character recognition (OCR) model to exfiltrate select images containing wallet recovery phrases from photo libraries to an attacker-controlled server. The latest improvements to the malware show that it's an actively evolving threat, not to mention the technical capabilities of the threat actors behind the operation. Kaspersky had previously assessed the malicious activity to be the work of a Chinese-speaking operator. "The updated variant of SparkCat requests access to view photos in a user's smartphone gallery in certain scenarios — just like the very first version of the Trojan," Kaspersky researcher Sergey Puzan told The Hacker News. "It analyzes the text in stored images

BOZEMAN — Did you know more than 1,500 hundred cybersecurity jobs were available in Montana in 2025? According to MSU, that number is expected to keep growing – which is why a $50,000 grant received by Gallatin College to teach high schoolers about cybersecurity is so important. “It’s really fun, and it’s hands on and you learn so much and you can actually use it outside of class,” said Abigail Hofer. Abigail is a homeschooled senior in high school who lives in Bozeman. She says she has always had a passion for technology. “At home, I’ve always been known as the ‘tech girl ‘and any problems with like technology, I try to fix,” she said. That’s why she’s taking cybersecurity courses through Gallatin College. “It’s a lot of hands on, and it’s really practical,” said Abigail. “For me, I’m a visual learner, so the hands on is just, like, it’s so much easier for it to stick.” As Program Director of Cybersecurity and Information Technology at Gallatin College Ronda Black explains, hands-on learning is exactly the goal of the $50,000 Cybersecurity Pathways Grant from Montana’s Future at Work program. “This grant has given me the opportunity to get in those high schools and be able to offer educators across Montana a tool that does not exist at this point in time,” said Black. WATCH: Gallatin College receives $50,000 cybersecurity grant to educate high schoolers Black says cybersecurity, the practice of protecting systems and data from digital attacks, is a field that’s broader than most people realize. “A lot of people think, ‘it’s just coding and I don’t want to code.’ And I love the fact that I can go in there and be like, ‘this is not coding,’ said Black. “Do you play with computers?
