New research from Hush Security found that one in eight credential slots in public GitHub MCP configuration files contain hardcoded secrets -- including API keys, passwords and access tokens.
MCP config files tell AI coding agents which tools to access and how to authenticate -- making them a high-value entry point for attackers looking to pivot into sensitive corporate systems.
Researchers analyzed around 82,000 public MCP config files across more than a dozen coding agents and found 12% of credential slots hardcoded a credential literal.
Tackling MCP risk exposure Experts agreed that, given the high stakes, CISOs should assess their MCP risk exposure this week.
The researchers' findings underscore dual AI security challenges for CISOs, added Brandon Dixon, CTO and cofounder of Ent, an AI cybersecurity company.

ShinyHunters says it defaced the dark web leak site belonging to Clop, a ransomware gang responsible for some of last year’s largest corporate data thefts, and is now threatening to extort the group using data it claims to have pulled from Clop’s own servers.
What ShinyHunters says it took According to statements the group gave to BleepingComputer, the intrusion went beyond a simple defacement.
A separate uploaded file carried a warning aimed at Clop: “THIS SITE HAS BEEN PWN3D BY SHINYHUNTERES #Skids10p – Maybe don’t try to threaten us next time.”
ShinyHunters says the retaliatory hack is a direct response to that threat and to alleged threats to expose the identities of its members.
Leaked server logs could reveal technical details about how Clop’s leak site operated, and any further data dump would need independent verification before its contents can be treated as reliable.

Cybersecurity education is increasingly moving beyond specialised technology programmes, but for many students, access to such learning remains tied to a fundamental barrier of language.
Against this backdrop, C3iHub at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur has launched a Hindi-language cybersecurity programme that will be offered to more than 3 lakh students across 570+ colleges.
Speaking to Education Times , Anand Handa, chief strategy officer, C3iHub, IIT Kanpur, says the Hindi delivery model was designed to address this accessibility gap.
“Through the programme, we aim to create a stronger cybersecurity learning ecosystem and equip students with the knowledge required to pursue further education and opportunities in the cybersecurity domain,” he says.
The programme uses Hindi as the primary medium of instruction while familiarising students with commonly used cybersecurity terminology.

Instead of using add-on controls, defenders are rushing to include AI, zero trust, and resilience in their architecture.
This year, Brooks believes five variables will shape the ecosystem and determine the competitive environment in 2027.
The New Frontier of Attack and Defense: Agentic AI 2.
Cybercrime Develops into a Global Economy of the Corporate Class Cybercrime may be last on this list, but it’s not the least.
Brooks notes Cybersecurity Ventures estimates that cybercrime lost $10.5 trillion in 2025, making it a major global economic driver, and that it will cost the world $12.2 trillion annually by 2031.

The initiative will connect environmental sensors through OQ Technology’s low-Earth-orbit satellite network, collecting data on tree water stress, soil moisture, microclimate conditions, biodiversity and forest condition.
The partners said the data could support forestry, biodiversity monitoring, carbon farming, drought and wildfire management, land rehabilitation and disaster resilience.
For OQ Technology, the project also provides an Australian test case for its approach to standards-based satellite IoT and direct-to-device connectivity.
The Luxembourg-based company operates a low-Earth-orbit satellite network targeting 3GPP-based non-terrestrial network services.
“Satellite-enabled IoT infrastructure” could help address environmental monitoring and climate resilience challenges, he said, adding that the longer-term opportunity extended to remote industries and public infrastructure.

Organisations should stop treating AI as a box-ticking exercise and focus on where it can deliver measurable operational gains, according to Genetec’s Lee Shelford.
Shelford urges organisations to look beyond traditional surveillance, with Genetec combining video, access control, vehicle recognition, communications, and IoT data through a single interface.
The technology can also support use cases beyond security, including bushfire detection, remote monitoring, car park management, and improving the movement of people and vehicles through airports and shopping centres.
But cyber security must remain central, with Genetec having pursued Australian requirements, including IRAP assessment and Essential Eight alignment.

The UAE and Saudi Arabia together accounted for half of all cyberattacks recorded across the Gulf region in the first half of 2026, according to a study by information security research company Positive Technologies.
The UAE was the most targeted country in the region, accounting for 35 per cent of all attacks, followed by Iran at 17 per cent and Saudi Arabia at 15 per cent, the report found.
Alexey Lukatsky, Chief Evangelist Officer at Positive Technologies, told Khaleej Times on the sidelines of Gisec Global.
He said that the UAE and Saudi Arabia were heavily targeted for their “different companies from IT, from telco, from banks, and so on.”
The industrial sector ranked third at 17 per cent, with half of these attacks targeting organisations in Saudi Arabia, according to the report.

Dr. Bola J. Mudasiru, stated this in a presentation titled, “Engineering the Digital Nervous System: AI and Digital Ecosystems for Future-Ready African Infrastructure.”
He identified urban traffic management, emergency response, infrastructure inspection, enforcement, utilities optimisation and digital public-service delivery as areas where AI could improve efficiency.
Mudasiru also highlighted the importance of Digital Pavement Management Systems and Bridge Management Systems in improving road and bridge maintenance across the continent.
The engineer identified predictive maintenance as another area where AI could help reduce infrastructure failures and operational costs.
Mudasiru therefore called for stronger collaboration among engineers, governments, private-sector infrastructure operators, technology experts and communities to maximise the benefits of AI and digital technologies in Africa.

Researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst analyzed 61,500 abandoned Android IoT apps and found that nearly three in four contained software dependencies associated with documented vulnerabilities.
The team built its dataset from AndroZoo, a large archive of Android apps, then filtered for companion apps tied to IoT devices.
“Consequently, many users are left relying on unmaintained or delisted applications to manage sensitive IoT data, significantly broadening their security exposure,” they added.
They interpreted this finding as a sign that outdated cryptography is a habit throughout the IoT app ecosystem generally, not something specific to abandonment.
Deprecated cryptography was more common in the active group, appearing in 17% of those apps compared with 8.4% of abandoned apps.

Engineers designing connected devices can now use an AI-assisted platform on NXP’s website to move from application requirements to proposed hardware architectures and schematics.
CELUS has launched a co-branded version of its Design Platform on NXP.com, allowing engineers to describe what they want to build to its AI Design Assistant and receive system-level design options based on NXP components and technologies.
CELUS said its platform can help structure requirements and constraints, compare system options and assemble complete hardware concepts before a physical design is produced.
Rather than relying on conventional component searches, NXP technologies are incorporated into a design workflow that starts with the intended application and works towards a complete system.
“By bringing the CELUS Design Platform to NXP.com, NXP is giving engineers a faster way to translate intent into a working design, and a clearer way to experience NXP solutions in the architecture where adoption decisions are actually made.”
