Systems infected by malware in Singapore more than doubled in 2025: CSA Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox - The number of malware-infected systems in Singapore more than doubled to 284,300 in 2025, driven by botnet activity and improved detection. - New stricter security requirements for residential routers will be implemented by end-2027 to combat IoT device vulnerabilities and improve cybersecurity. - Ransomware cases in Singapore increased slightly, disproportionately affecting SMEs. AI generated SINGAPORE – The number of malware-infected systems detected in Singapore more than doubled to 284,300 in 2025, driven by persistent malicious activity and improved detection of botnet devices. This is an increase from 117,300 infected systems detected in 2024, according to the latest Singapore Cyber Landscape report published on June 30. Botnet devices are computers, servers or internet-of-things (IoT) devices that malware has taken over, allowing an operator to control them remotely. “The continued profitability of malware-as-a-service operations, coupled with widespread use of consumer IoT devices with weak security configurations or unpatched firmware, has created more opportunities for botnet operators,” said the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore (CSA) in a statement on the report. To boost efforts in securing consumer IoT devices, all residential routers sold in Singapore will need to meet more stringent requirements set out by the agency by end-2027. Currently, all residential routers sold in Singapore must meet the basic level-one requirements – such as having unique default passwords and updated software – under CSA’s Cybersecurity Labelling Scheme. Routers will soon need to meet level-two requirements, including stronger security for communications, storage of sensitive data and methods to verify users. In its 10th edition, the report highlighted key trends in the cybersecurity landscape, which include the introduction of AI agents and frontier AI models that can automate and accelerate cyberattacks.
The legislative challenges of cybersecurity Technology is constantly evolving at a pace that legislation struggles to keep up with. Is it possible for governments to develop cybersecurity legislation that will not be obsolete before it is enacted? People in the technology sector often joke that anything new in winter will be obsolete by spring. This is especially the case in cybersecurity, where hacker groups and cybersecurity teams are locked in an ever-escalating war of attrition. The speed of obsolescence far outpaces the legislative process: it can take up to two years for government bills to be enacted into law. This is due to the parliamentary process, where various readings, committee hearings and reports are required to ensure that bills are adequately scrutinized. An outdated system “The legislative process in this country is essentially a Victorian process, in the sense it takes a long time,” says James Morris, chairman of CSBR, who spoke to ITPro earlier this month at InfoSecurity Europe in London. “Meanwhile, the world is changing every day. How you deal with that is, I think, a question of not wanting to try and do everything at once.” Legislation tends to lag behind technology as the speed of technical innovation far outpaces the law-making process. Therefore, cybersecurity legislation risks becoming redundant before it is enacted. Compounding this challenge is the intensification of cyber threats, in particular the problem of state-sponsored hacker teams and organized crime groups repeatedly targeting national infrastructure for financial or political gain. “The Cyber Security and Resilience Bill represents a step change to our national security that will protect the services people rely on every day - reducing the risk of disruption to public services and businesses, and ensuring a faster national response when threats emerge,” said a spokesperson for the government.

Brazil alert hack sends ‘alien attack’ warnings; legacy D-Link routers hijacked, and more cybersecurity news This week’s key cybersecurity developments. Here are the week’s key cybersecurity developments. - Canada’s spy agency used a court order to remotely clean citizens’ devices for the first time. - A macOS infostealer bypassed AI-based analysis using fake error injections. - Europol dismantled a distribution network for the Amadey and StealC malware. - In Brazil, hackers sent emergency alerts about an “alien attack.” Canada’s spy agency uses court order for remote device cleanup for the first time Canada’s intelligence service received an unprecedented court order authorizing remote intervention on infected servers, home routers, and IoT devices in the country, Todayville reported. The botnets operated as traffic relays. By routing data through compromised equipment, attackers masked themselves as ordinary home users or internet providers. This allowed them to covertly scan networks of critical infrastructure (including the energy sector) as well as Canadian government and military agencies. Targets for cleanup included Canada-based servers, routers for small businesses and homes, and smart devices such as doorbells, security cameras, TVs, and other Wi-Fi–enabled equipment. The Federal Court of Canada declassified a public version of the order only in mid-June 2026, although it was issued more than two years earlier. The ruling emphasizes that no personal data was intercepted and any incidentally collected information was immediately destroyed. Media reports point to outdated hardware as a key factor in such attacks. Malware is deployed on IoT devices with factory-default passwords or on equipment that is no longer supported. Researchers at XLab confirmed this. They found a previously unknown botnet called AryStinger that abused legacy D-Link home routers, models DIR-850L and DIR-818LW. During the campaign, attackers compromised more than 4,000 routers, turning them into proxies to relay malicious traffic and perform distributed
WISeKey’s WISeID Positioned to Benefit from Accelerating Global Transition to Post-Quantum Digital Identity and Authentication Standards Geneva, Switzerland – June 26, 2026 – WISeKey International Holding Ltd (SIX: WIHN; NASDAQ: WKEY), a global leader in cybersecurity, digital identity and IoT, today announced that its subsidiary WISeID, a digital identity and cybersecurity platform it is positioned to benefit from the growing market opportunity created by emerging government initiatives aimed at accelerating the migration to post-quantum cryptography (PQC), including a recently reported draft U.S. Executive Order that would establish timelines for the adoption of quantum-resistant digital signatures and key establishment technologies. According to reports, the proposed U.S. policy framework would require federal agencies to transition key establishment mechanisms to post-quantum standards by 2030 and digital signatures by 2031. These measures reflect a broader global recognition that future quantum computers may eventually compromise many of today’s widely deployed public-key cryptographic systems, creating significant risks for digital identity, authentication, secure communications, and data protection. Digital signatures serve as the foundation of trust across the digital economy, enabling the authentication of users, devices, applications, and transactions. Key establishment technologies secure communications by allowing trusted parties to exchange cryptographic keys used to encrypt and decrypt sensitive information. Both technologies are essential components of modern cybersecurity architectures and are expected to undergo significant transformation as organizations prepare for the quantum era. “Governments and enterprises worldwide are are moving from planning to implementation on post-quantum security, creating a clear, time-bound upgrade cycle for digital identity and authentication,” said Carlos Moreira Founder and CEO of WISeKey. “WISeID is designed to address this transition by providing quantum-resilient identity, credential management and authentication capabilities that can be integrated into existing infrastructures. As regulatory timelines firm up and organizations begin executing their post-quantum roadmaps, we believe WISeID is well positioned to capture
Abstract The intersection of smart home Internet of Things (IoT) devices, enterprise Information Technology (IT) infrastructures and Operational Technology (OT) systems has greatly expanded the cyberattack surface, opening up smart environments to advanced persistent threats (APTs), ransomware, insider attacks and OT protocol exploits. Current cyber security solutions are largely domain specific, and do not have a unified approach for cross domain threat correlation, adaptive response orchestration and proactive cyber resilience. In this regard, this study introduces a novel framework called Cross-Domain Cyber Resilience Framework (CD-CRF) that combines multi-domain telemetry fusion, behavioral anomaly detection, intelligent threat deduction, probabilistic risk scoring, and adaptive response orchestration under a single architecture. The framework utilizes signature independent behavioral analytics and cross domain threat correlation with identification of complex multi-stage attacks in heterogeneous Home, IT and OT environments. Experimental assessment was performed with a set of heterogenous cybersecurity data sets, including intrusion detection logs, traces of ransomware activities, IoT botnet traffic, SCADA/ICS telemetry, authentication data and communication data for malware. The proposed CD-CRF successfully reduced the false positive rate to 1.8%, and attained a detection accuracy of 98.6%, threat prediction rate of 94.8% and a cross-domain correlation efficiency of 97.1%. Moreover, it had a response time of 120ms, about 50% faster mitigation than traditional methods, and statistically significantly outperformed GCSM and CAT and TinyML models (p < 0.05). The results show that CD-CRF improves cyber situational awareness, it increases the ability to detect threats early, it decreases operational risks, and it offers scalable, adaptive cyber resilience solution to converged IT–OT environments.

MarketLens BlackBerry's AI-Powered Turnaround Is Complete, But Its Premium Valuation Demands Flawless Execution Key Takeaways - BlackBerry's Q1 FY27 results significantly surpassed revenue expectations, driven by strong performance in its cybersecurity and IoT segments, validating the company's multi-year software transformation. - Management has declared the turnaround complete, positioning BlackBerry as a growth company critical to the expanding "physical AI" landscape through its QNX embedded systems and enterprise cybersecurity platforms. - Despite the operational momentum, the stock's substantial year-to-date rally and current premium valuation multiples suggest investors have largely priced in future growth, requiring sustained execution to justify its elevated price. BlackBerry Limited (NYSE:BB) is having a moment. After years of shedding its legacy smartphone image, the company today reported first-quarter fiscal year 2027 results that not only beat Wall Street's revenue estimates but also underscored a definitive shift to a software-driven growth model. Shares of BlackBerry surged 19.55% today, trading at $10.30, nearing its 52-week high of $10.93. This rally, fueled by a narrative of successful transformation and strategic positioning in the burgeoning AI and IoT sectors, has put the company back on investors' radar. The question now is whether this renewed enthusiasm is sustainable, or if the market's rapid re-rating has pushed BlackBerry's valuation beyond its current fundamentals. With a market capitalization of $6.04 billion, the company's journey from hardware icon to software innovator has been long and complex, culminating in a quarter that management hails as a turning point. The Phoenix Rises: BlackBerry's Q1 Catalyst Today's Q1 FY27 earnings announcement served as a powerful catalyst, sending BlackBerry stock soaring. The company reported revenue of $153 million, a 26% year-over-year increase, significantly exceeding analyst consensus estimates which ranged from $137.7 million to $140 million. This performance follows a consistent pattern of outperformance, marking the company's fifth consecutive quarter of

Forescout brings PQC visibility to IT, OT, IoT, and IoMT environments Forescout has announced the launch of its Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Readiness and Encryption Hygiene Dashboards. The new dashboards are designed to help organizations identify, prioritize, and manage quantum risk across information technology (IT), operational technology (OT), Internet of Things (IoT), and medical devices (IoMT) environments. As organizations face new pressures from regulators, auditors, and boards to demonstrate PQC awareness and progress, Forescout accelerated its development timeline to deliver operational security capabilities to understand and prioritize where quantum-unsafe encryption creates real exposure. “Organizations don’t just need new algorithms or upgraded platforms, they need clarity about where quantum-unsafe encryption creates exposure in their environments,” said Barry Mainz, CEO of Forescout. “The PQC readiness and encryption hygiene dashboards are designed to deliver that clarity, helping security leaders see, prioritize, and reduce quantum risk now, even as full migration progresses over time.” Quantum risk is pervasive New data from Forescout Research – Vedere Labs highlights the urgency of PQC readiness. The report shows that most of the internet remains unprepared for quantum threats, with nearly 90% of SSH servers not yet quantum-safe. Within enterprise environments, readiness is even more uneven, particularly across cyber-physical systems. While 50% of IT devices support PQC-capable SSH, adoption drops sharply across other environments: only 28% of IoT devices, 16% of OT devices, and 6% of IoMT devices. These gaps underscore a critical challenge: future migration deadlines are approaching, but the required work starts now. Governments and standards bodies are clear that organizations cannot wait until 2030 to begin. They must first inventory cryptographic usage, assess exposure, and understand where quantum risk is concentrated across their environments today. Making PQC exposure visible, measurable, and actionable Forescout’s PQC dashboards address this challenge by delivering continuous visibility into cryptographic usage and
Rome (VNA) – Vietnam should leverage its global network of Vietnamese experts working at leading universities, research institutes and technology companies to make breakthroughs in the AI era, according to Assoc. Prof., Dr Nguyen Thanh Phuong of the Department of Information Engineering, Computer Science and Mathematics (DISIM) at the University of L’Aquila in Italy. Phuong told Vietnam News Agency (VNA) correspondent in Rome that Vietnam should develop a “borderless national intellectual network”, enabling Vietnamese professionals living abroad to contribute as visiting professors, strategic advisers, research leaders or co-directors of key laboratories. Such a model would help tap into global expertise without requiring specialists to return home permanently. He noted that many scientists are motivated not only by income but also by the opportunity to contribute to Vietnam’s development and train future generations. This sense of purpose, he said, is a unique advantage that no other country can replicate. Data is also becoming a strategic resource in the AI era. Phuong suggested Vietnam adopt a multi-layered data sovereignty model consisting of physical sovereignty for sensitive data stored on infrastructure located within Vietnam's territory, legal sovereignty to ensure Vietnamese control over access and use, and cryptographic sovereignty through domestic management of encryption keys. The key issue, he stressed, is not where servers are located but who controls the data. Regarding participation in global technology value chains, Phuong warned against focusing solely on domestic products or imitating successful international technologies. Instead, Vietnam should concentrate on niche areas where it can develop core technologies and become an indispensable player. Potential fields include Southeast Asian data infrastructure, digital identity solutions, IoT cybersecurity and secure public data platforms. On AI, he recommended prioritising applied AI rather than competing to develop large-scale foundation models such as GPT or Gemini. By building on advanced open-source models such as

The NIST Cybersecurity for IoT Program has released the initial public draft of Special Publication (SP) 800-213r1 (Revision 1), IoT Product Cybersecurity Guidelines for the Federal Government: Establishing IoT Product Cybersecurity Requirements. Organizations increasingly use Internet of Things (IoT) products for the mission benefits they offer, but care must be taken in acquiring and implementing this equipment. NIST is updating guidelines for establishing cybersecurity requirements for IoT products to support necessary security controls. Understanding that an IoT product is a system element facilitates an understanding of how it must be considered in the risk management process. The acquisition and integration of an IoT product into an information system may alter the system’s risk assessment based on new risks introduced by the product. An updated risk assessment may require additional or new controls to be selected and implemented in the system. This publication provides general considerations of how IoT products may impact an information system’s risk assessment and subsequent allocation of controls that may be necessary. The public comment period is open through August 24, 2026. See the publication details for a copy of the draft and instructions for submitting comments.
