New Delhi: A department under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) has asked ministries not to deploy OpenAI and Anthropic’s models for cybersecurity and related functions for now, ThePrint has learnt, days after the two companies approached several ministries with their proposals. An office memorandum has been circulated to this effect, asking ministries not to put such models into use prematurely. The representatives of the two companies met officials across ministries to press for deployment, a source told ThePrint. The number of ministries approached and the level at which the meetings took place could not be confirmed. The Ministry of Finance was among those that wrote to the department, asking if the ministry could examine the use of agentic AI and the deployment of OpenAI models. In its six-page letter, reviewed by ThePrint, the Ministry of Finance specifically asked about deploying GPT-5.5 for cybersecurity work. The letter, titled ‘In light of LLMs being used: AI-based vulnerability discovery, AI-assisted cybersecurity capabilities and implementation’, set out proposals on what could be deployed and was sent for consideration. In a memorandum last week, the department returned a firm no. The source quoted above said the memorandum does not amount to a permanent restriction. The department’s objection is about the timing of deployment rather than a bar on the technology. The models in question Both companies market their frontier models for defensive cybersecurity: automated vulnerability discovery, in which a model scans codebases for exploitable flaws; code review; incident triage; and agentic deployment, where a model executes multi-step tasks with limited human supervision. The capabilities are dual-use. A model that finds a vulnerability in defensive testing can find one for offensive purposes, and both companies acknowledge as much in their published safety frameworks, which assign cyber capability thresholds to models and set restrictions

The FIFA World Cup 2026 has not only been marked by intense competition on the football field but has also become the center of growing controversies involving cyber threats, misinformation, and digital manipulation. As the tournament progresses into its crucial stages, several incidents have raised concerns about how cybersecurity challenges are increasingly intersecting with major global sporting events. Over the past few days, tensions among participating football nations have escalated significantly. Allegations of unfair influence, controversial officiating decisions, and the spread of misleading online content have dominated discussions alongside the matches themselves. These developments have highlighted how digital platforms can amplify controversies and create confusion during high-profile international events. One of the earliest controversies involved accusations directed at U.S. President Donald Trump, with critics claiming that political influence played a role in a red card decision that benefited a U.S. player. The allegations quickly spread across social media and generated strong reactions from several football communities, particularly in South America and other regions. Although no credible evidence emerged to support the claims, the incident demonstrated how speculation can rapidly gain momentum during globally watched sporting tournaments. Another widely discussed episode was the so-called “Spidercam Gate” involving England and Norway, on a recent note. During the match, the football reportedly contacted a cable supporting the stadium’s spider camera system. The unusual incident sparked debates over whether the play should have been paused or lead to a penalty, with fans and commentators questioning the interpretation of the rules. While tournament officials addressed the matter, the event continued to fuel online discussions and media attention. The latest controversy, however, has shifted from the playing field to cyberspace. The Argentina Football Federation (AFA) issued a public clarification stating that reports claiming its servers had been compromised by an Egyptian hacking group were false. According

Cybercriminals are increasingly shifting their focus from exploiting software vulnerabilities to targeting human psychology. Among the most successful examples of this trend is the Boss Scam, a sophisticated social engineering attack in which threat actors impersonate senior executives to manipulate employees into transferring funds, disclosing sensitive information, or bypassing established security controls. Also known as Business Email Compromise (BEC) or executive impersonation fraud, the Boss Scam has become one of the most financially damaging cyber threats facing organizations worldwide. Unlike ransomware or malware attacks that rely on technical exploitation, Boss Scams are built on deception and trust. Attackers spend considerable time conducting open-source intelligence (OSINT) to understand an organization’s hierarchy, executive leadership, financial processes, and employee responsibilities. Publicly available information from corporate websites, LinkedIn profiles, press releases, and social media accounts enables threat actors to craft highly convincing impersonation campaigns. The attack often begins with a fraudulent email that appears to originate from a CEO, CFO, or another senior executive. In some cases, attackers compromise legitimate corporate email accounts, while others register lookalike domains that differ from the official company domain by only a single character. The objective is simple: convince an employee to execute an urgent financial transaction or disclose confidential business information without following normal verification procedures. Recent years have witnessed the evolution of Boss Scams beyond traditional email-based attacks. Cybercriminals now leverage collaboration platforms such as Microsoft Teams, Slack, WhatsApp, and Signal to impersonate executives. The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence has further enhanced these attacks, enabling criminals to generate grammatically flawless emails, clone executive voices, and even create deepfake video messages capable of deceiving employees during virtual meetings. These emerging capabilities have significantly increased the credibility and success rate of executive impersonation attacks. One of the defining characteristics of a Boss Scam is psychological manipulation. Fraudulent

Why SBOMs, signing, and provenance still don’t tell you if software is safe We have made real progress in software supply chain security, improving visibility into software components, authenticity and build integrity. Much of this progress traces back to Executive Order 14028, which pushed agencies, contractors and enterprises to invest in SBOMs, signing and provenance. All of that matters, but it is not enough. The current software trust model still stops short of the question that determines risk at execution: What is this code capable of doing if it runs? This blind spot is becoming harder to ignore as AI changes the speed, scale and variability of malicious software. University of Toronto research demonstrated an AI-powered worm capable of adapting its attack strategy as it moves through a network. Unlike traditional worms that exploit a fixed vulnerability, this prototype can reason through new attack paths and tailor its behavior to different systems. The June 2026 AI executive order on cybersecurity reflects federal concern. But the issue is broader than policy: traditional trust models are insufficient when AI generates, modifies and deploys code faster than human review can keep up. We can no longer trust software based primarily on what it is, where it came from or whether it resembles something seen before. Visibility is not trust SBOMs answer an important question: What is inside this software? Organizations cannot manage dependencies, open-source exposure or known vulnerable components if they do not know what is inside a build. But composition is not behavior. A package can have a clean dependency tree and still perform dangerous actions. An application can include expected libraries and still attempt credential access, persistence, lateral movement, file modification or data exfiltration. SBOMs help security teams understand ingredients, but they do not predict what software will do once it

Madison County Board of Supervisors discusses possible cybersecurity attack The Madison County Board of Supervisors voted to refer a possible cybersecurity attack involving security cameras to state authorities during a special meeting The Madison County Board of Supervisors voted to refer a possible cybersecurity attack involving security cameras to state authorities during a special meeting The Madison County Board of Supervisors voted to refer a possible cybersecurity attack involving security cameras to state authorities during a special meeting The Madison County Board of Supervisors revealed during a special meeting Thursday morning that they were part of a "cybersecurity attack." The board voted 2-1 to refer the matter to the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation (DCI) and the attorney general's office. This follows the board's decision in March to outsource its IT department. The Madison County Sheriff's Office said the issue involves access to security cameras. According to the meeting agenda, the board had planned to motion for a closed session to discuss the matter. However, they ultimately decided not to enter a closed session. Madison County Board Supervisor Diane Fitch confirms with KCCI that the sheriff or county attorney had been contacted about a breach by their IT service. Both the DCI and the attorney general's office said they have not yet received a complaint regarding the issue.

🚀 CloudSEK becomes first Indian origin cybersecurity company to receive investment from US state fund Read more An attack graph is a model that maps how an attacker could move through a network, showing the systems, vulnerabilities, and paths that connect an entry point to a critical asset. Attack graphs help security teams predict and disrupt attack paths before execution. The shift toward this approach is well documented. Gartner introduced continuous threat exposure management in 2022 and predicts that organizations prioritizing it will be three times less likely to suffer a breach by 2026. Attack graphs sit at the center of that shift, turning isolated vulnerability lists into the connected attack paths an attacker would actually follow. This guide explains what attack graphs are, the components that make them up, and how they work. It covers attack graphs versus attack trees and attack paths, the main types, how to build one, the benefits, use cases, best practices, and the limitations to plan around. An attack graph is a graphical model of the routes an attacker could take through an environment to reach a target. Nodes represent systems, conditions, or vulnerabilities, and edges represent the exploits or actions that move an attacker from one state to the next. The graph turns a list of separate weaknesses into a connected map of how those weaknesses chain together. Attack graphs answer a question that vulnerability scans cannot. A scan reports which flaws exist, while an attack graph shows which flaws sit on a path to something that matters. That distinction lets teams focus on the exposures that actually lead to a breach. Four traits define an attack graph: An attack graph is built from five components: These components combine into a working model: nodes and edges form the structure, while state information, attack

CYBERSECURITY Readiness Pivotal as CMMC Assessor Capacity Squeezed By Tabitha Reeves iStock illustration As Nov. 10 ushers in a new round of Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification requirements, third-party assessors have a straight-forward message for defense contractors seeking Level 2 certification — be prepared. While Level 1 and some Level 2 contracts allow for self-assessments, achieving Level 2 certification often requires an official review provided by a CMMC third-party assessment organization, or C3PAO. Companies might feel an urgency to pencil in an official assessment in the calendar as soon as possible, but ensuring readiness beforehand is a must, executives at cybersecurity firms said. Depending on a company’s complexity and resources, achieving Level 2 can take a year or more, said Vince Scott, founder and CEO of Defense Cybersecurity Group. “Even the longest journey starts with the first step,” Scott said during a panel hosted by the National Defense Industrial Association. “If you have not started yet, you’re probably already in the window of seeing a lack of certification impact your ability to win contracts. You want to narrow that window as much as possible.” The Defense Department’s CMMC final rule that took effect in November stated that it ultimately expects roughly 118,000 organizations to need Level 2 certification, noted Logan Therrien, chief strategy officer at Kieri Solutions. By comparison, Therrien’s latest estimate for Level 2-certified companies came to just over 1,100, indicating a sizable group yet to complete the process. C3PAOs are likely to become a bottleneck for Level 2 credentials. Kieri Solutions, for example, can conduct a maximum of about 250 assessments per year, “and that doesn’t begin to make a dent in the total number,” he said during the panel. “I’m afraid not everybody who wants to get certified can get certified in October this year,” Scott said. “There’s

KT invested 127.6 billion won in information security during fiscal year 2025, maintaining annual cybersecurity spending above 100 billion won for the fourth consecutive year, the company said on July 8. The investment ranked third among all Korean companies and was the largest among domestic telecommunications operators. KT also said it is strengthening both investment and expertise, with more than half of its dedicated cybersecurity workforce consisting of in-house specialists. The company has 317 employees dedicated to information security, including 164 internal security professionals. KT is also building a long-term talent development system for cybersecurity professionals. The company operates a customized security academy for information technology (IT) and network developers and is working with Seoul National University to establish a contract-based academic program specializing in information security. Through these initiatives, KT aims to cultivate cybersecurity talent and strengthen its internal expertise. To mark Information Security Day, KT is running an internal "Secure Together" Information Security Week campaign throughout July. The program is designed to make cybersecurity part of the company's workplace culture rather than simply a set of compliance requirements, encouraging employees to incorporate security practices into their daily work. KT is also overhauling its overall security framework based on recommendations issued last year by a joint public-private investigation team. The company said it has established a comprehensive information security master plan to revamp its management system, strengthen cybersecurity governance and asset—including supply chain—management, and develop a security framework tailored to KT's operating environment. In addition, KT is continuing its transition from a response-oriented security model to a prevention-focused approach by expanding a Zero Trust-based proactive security framework and advancing artificial intelligence (AI)-based security technologies. The company has also strengthened its personal data protection governance by launching a Personal Information Protection Advisory Committee. KT recently announced plans to invest approximately

- United States - / - Diversified Financial - / - NYSE:MA Mastercard’s New Cybersecurity Center Tests How Far Its Services Strategy Can Stretch the Brand (MA) - In recent weeks, ZEN.COM announced the rollout of Mastercard Click to Pay across 33 markets, VEON Ltd. revealed a collaboration with Mastercard to expand inclusive digital financial services in several emerging economies, and Mastercard launched its Africa Cybersecurity Center of Excellence to bolster cyber resilience across the continent. - Together, these moves highlight Mastercard’s push to deepen its role in secure, tokenised online payments while positioning itself as a cyber and digital infrastructure partner in underpenetrated regions. - We’ll now examine how Mastercard’s new Africa Cybersecurity Center of Excellence could influence the company’s existing investment narrative around value-added services. AI is about to change healthcare. These 41 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10b in market cap - there's still time to get in early. Mastercard Investment Narrative Recap To own Mastercard, you need to believe in the resilience of its global card network and the growing importance of its value added services. The Africa Cybersecurity Center of Excellence supports this services narrative, but it does not materially change the near term focus on sustaining volume growth while managing rising regulatory and competitive pressures, including alternative payment rails and pricing scrutiny. Among the recent announcements, the launch of the Africa Cybersecurity Center of Excellence stands out as most relevant, since it directly reinforces Mastercard’s ambition to be seen as a broader cyber and digital infrastructure partner, not just a card network. For investors watching the catalysts around value added services, this move is another data point that Mastercard continues to build capabilities that sit alongside its core transaction processing

NEW DELHI: Government is considering extending its cybersecurity push beyond CCTV cameras by introducing a similar regulatory framework for a wider range of internet of things (IoT) devices, including smart meters, amid concerns that these devices remain vulnerable as they are imported, mainly from China. While no final decision has been taken, discussions at the official level are underway on measures that could require connected devices to meet stricter security and certification standards before they can be sold in India. The move, persons in the know said, is aimed at reducing cyber vulnerabilities in internet-connected products and should not be seen as a proposal to ban any category of devices. The deliberations follow govt's decision to mandate security certification for internet-enabled CCTV cameras under the Standardisation Testing and Quality Certification (STQC) framework. Since April 1, manufacturers whose products do not comply with the prescribed essential security requirements have been barred from selling connected CCTV cameras in India. Officials said the same concerns increasingly apply across the wider IoT ecosystem, which spans smart meters, home automation products, connected appliances, industrial sensors, wearable devices, healthcare equipment and other internet-enabled products. As these devices grow across homes, factories, offices and critical infrastructure, they also create much larger attack points for hackers if security standards are weak or inconsistent. People familiar with the discussions said govt is examining whether a common baseline security framework can ensure that connected devices entering the Indian market meet minimum cybersecurity requirements before deployment. The emphasis is expected to be on product testing, vulnerability assessment, software integrity and greater visibility into supply chains. The focus is on ensuring that connected products meet India's cybersecurity requirements irrespective of where they are made.

Dr. Hamza Alakaleek Cybersecurity is no longer merely a technical issue confined to information technology departments. It has become a strategic pillar of economic security, financial stability, and institutional resilience. In an increasingly interconnected world, the institutions that stand out are those that anticipate future risks rather than simply react to them. Against this backdrop, the Central Bank of Jordan (CBJ) has demonstrated a forward-looking approach by pioneering an unprecedented Arab framework for regional cybersecurity cooperation. Its selection among the top five global projects at the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) Prizes 2026 is more than an international accolade. It reflects an institutional philosophy that recognizes cybersecurity begins not with technology alone, but with innovation, knowledge sharing, and regional cooperation. By treating expertise as a strategic asset rather than a competitive advantage, the initiative offers a model for strengthening both financial resilience and long-term economic security. The preeminence of this project lies in its cross-border collective defense mechanism, which adopts the concept of Information Sharing and Analysis Centers (ISACs). This mechanism operates through a highly efficient, cyclical security sequence. The process begins by monitoring cyber threats targeting central banks or commercial financial institutions across the Arab region. As soon as a central bank detects these indicators of compromise (IoCs), threat intelligence, and emerging attack methodologies, the data is immediately uploaded to the regional platform for instantaneous analysis. Consequently, partner Arab central banks receive these alerts and disseminate them to the commercial banks under their regulatory supervision. This fluid, dynamic flow builds a comprehensive defensive security database across all banking sectors, directly enhancing proactive defense capabilities, elevating protection levels, and establishing a unified security umbrella that shields the stability of the financial system while preventing catastrophic losses. Through this framework, every cyber incident is transformed into an opportunity to

The jscrambler npm package was compromised, and simply installing its 8.14.0 release runs an infostealer on your machine. Published on July 11, 2026, the malicious version carries a preinstall hook that drops and executes a native binary, one build each for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Socket flagged the release six minutes after it was published. If you or one of your build systems pulled it in that window, the payload has already run with whatever access your install process had. None of this is in the prior release, 8.13.0. The package diff shows two new files under dist/: setup.js, a small loader, and intro.js. Despite the name, intro.js is not JavaScript but a roughly 7.8MB container packing three gzip-compressed native binaries, one each for Linux, Windows, and macOS. On install, setup.js picks the binary for the host operating system, writes it under a random name in the system temp directory, marks it executable, and launches it detached with its output hidden. The added files are in the published package, but nowhere in jscrambler's public source. StepSecurity and SafeDep both pulled and analyzed the release, and both report no matching commit, tag, or pull request for 8.14.0 in the GitHub repository. Its latest tag is still 8.13.0. The version was pushed straight to npm under a legitimate maintainer account, bypassing the project's normal release flow. That points to a compromised npm account or build pipeline. Which of the two has not been established. The payload is a Rust infostealer, built for all three platforms, that sweeps a developer machine for secrets and ships them to a drop server over TLS, according to Socket's updated analysis and a statement to The Hacker News.

New Jersey is holding off enforcement of a sweeping data broker law that went into effect immediately after its enactment on June 30, following outcry from businesses about its record-setting registration fees and confusion about its scope. The New Jersey Attorney Generalâs Division of Consumer Affairs wrote in an alert late Friday that businesses donât need to comply with the data broker registry or annual registration fee requirements established under the law until June 2027. Annual registration fees for covered data sellers range from $5,000 to $1.5 million, far exceeding Californiaâs $6,000 annual data broker registration fees which had been the most expensive in the country. New Jerseyâs registration requirements differ from other states in applying to both third party data brokers and businesses that directly collect and sell them data. The law, which also bans the sale of sensitive personal data, was signed by Gov. Mikie Sherrill (D) and went into effect two days after it was introduced in the state legislature. The division wrote that it understands âthere may be questions about the contours of the new lawâ and plans to issue additional guidance in the coming months âto provide the public with further clarity about the new lawâs requirements.â A spokesperson for Sherrill could not immediately be reached for comment.
