By Itay Glick Energy sector cybersecurity focuses on nation-state threats, but breaches stem from basic failures like default credentials and weak OT controls. On 29 December 2025, coordinated attacks struck more than 30 energy facilities across Poland in the middle of winter. A detailed report by CERT Polska revealed that whilst the state-backed attacker was a sophisticated outfit, the vulnerabilities they exploited were anything but. What lessons should be taken from the CERT Polska report? The scale and destructive intent behind the attacks in Poland should have everyone paying attention. Simultaneous strikes across more than 30 renewable energy installations, a manufacturing company, and a major heat supplier required a high degree of coordination. At the same time, every action was designed to disrupt and destroy, with no ransom demand and no financial motive. CERT Polska’s forensic analysis attributed the attack infrastructure to a Russian state-backed cluster with a long history of targeting energy sector entities. However, I think the biggest learning point is actually the fundamental security flaws the group used to gain system access. Every affected facility was accessed through FortiGate devices acting as VPN gateways. They were exposed to the internet, with no multi-factor authentication in place and static credentials that had never been rotated. These weren’t zero-days or novel techniques but known weaknesses that had simply never been addressed. Another detail that stands out is that, in every instance where non-default credentials were properly configured, the attack failed. This is an extremely basic part of cyber hygiene, but it was enough to deflect a well-resourced, state-sponsored actor. Why do basic security failures remain the most significant risk for energy companies? Most sectors struggle with the fundamentals, but these flaws are especially prevalent in areas like energy which rely on operational technology (OT). The hardware in these environments

NVIDIA is rewriting the rules on how startups and enterprises get access to the computing power behind artificial intelligence. On July 5, the chipmaker unveiled a new business arrangement designed to remove one of the biggest bottlenecks facing the AI industry today: getting enough large-scale, reliable compute fast enough to keep up with demand. The announcement lands at a moment when AI workloads are shifting dramatically. Companies are moving away from one-time model training projects and toward AI systems that run continuously, generating responses, code, and content around the clock for paying customers. That shift changes what infrastructure providers need to deliver, and NVIDIA Unlocks AI compute access specifically to meet that changing demand. For smaller AI companies that have struggled to secure financing for expensive data center buildouts, even with long-term customer commitments in hand, the new model could mark a turning point in how quickly they can scale. Why NVIDIA Unlocks AI Compute Access Now The AI industry has hit a financing gap that has quietly slowed growth across the sector. Building the kind of large-scale, multi-tenant accelerated computing infrastructure that modern AI services require takes enormous upfront capital. Historically, only the largest hyperscalers had the balance sheets to make that bet. Emerging AI companies, including model builders, inference providers, and research organizations, have found themselves stuck. Even when they land major customer contracts, those commitments alone often are not enough to unlock the financing needed to build or lease the compute capacity to serve them. A Revenue-Sharing Structure Built for Speed NVIDIA’s new approach changes the financial mechanics behind these deals. Rather than requiring AI clouds to purchase hardware outright and hope demand materializes, the company is offering a model built on economic alignment. Under the arrangement, AI clouds can procure NVIDIA infrastructure specifically for AI-native companies,

By Annika Nevaste Cyber attackers increasingly exploit supply chains as the weak underbelly of European business. Securing supply chain resilience is now critical. Mercurial world leaders, geopolitical tensions and growing reliance on non-EU technology providers are pushing digital sovereignty to the top of the agenda for the EU and European business leaders. The EU relies on non-EU countries for over 80% of digital products, services, infrastructure, and intellectual property. Excessive dependencies on non-EU actors in critical technologies pose risks to European sovereignty and resilience.[i] The EU has already taken steps to strengthen cyber security regulations, but supply chains still represent a poorly understood source of vulnerability. While digital sovereignty has risen up the policy agenda, the greatest and least understood threat lies in the cybersecurity risks embedded in global supply chains. These are risks that cannot be addressed through regulation alone. And for many organizations, those risks sit just out of sight, buried deep within supply chains they assume are secure. Securing EU sovereignty In recognition of growing risks to EU sovereignty, the block has set a clear objective to strengthen capacity, resilience and security by reducing strategic dependencies, preventing reliance on foreign actors and single service providers, and safeguarding critical technologies and infrastructure[ii]. However, the most critical vulnerabilities do not sit inside European systems. They sit within the supply chains those systems rely on. The EU has taken steps to strengthen cybersecurity through frameworks such as the NIS2 Directive and the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), which impose stricter requirements for supply chain security and third‑party risk management, including the assessment of supplier vulnerabilities and the mitigation of risks associated with providers in high‑risk third countries. Complementing these measures, the Cyber Resilience Act aims to enhance the baseline security of digital products placed on the EU market. Although these

Fable 5 facilitates IoT botnet planning, researcher claims Independent security researcher Alec Armbruster claims that Claude Fable 5, restored by Anthropic on July 1, 2026 after a 19-day export-control suspension, still helped him plan an IoT botnet targeting real default-credentialed devices using a simple "let's say" hypothetical framing, with no apparent change from his pre-suspension tests. According to Armbruster's blog post, he ran the same prompt against GLM-5.2, GPT-5.5, and Claude Opus 4.8, and those models refused or failed to complete the task. The claim is from a single, unverified blog post; Anthropic has not publicly responded to it. Notably, Armbruster's IoT technique appears distinct from the Amazon-reported vulnerability-identification bypass that triggered the original U.S. Commerce Department shutdown, which Anthropic's new safety classifier specifically targets. The more useful question here is not just whether Armbruster's specific claim holds up, it is what it reveals about scope: Anthropic's post-restoration fix was explicitly built to block "the behavior described in" the Amazon report, not to close every borderline cybersecurity-adjacent prompt path. If Armbruster's IoT botnet-planning technique is a different behavior than the one Amazon reported, a targeted classifier update would plausibly miss it even if Anthropic's fix worked exactly as described. That is a distinction practitioners evaluating vendor safety claims should track: a patch confirmed to close one reported bypass is not evidence the model is closed to all similar-looking bypasses. What happened Anthropic suspended Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 worldwide on June 12, 2026, after the U.S. Commerce Department issued an export control directive following a report from Amazon researchers that Fable 5 could be prompted to identify software vulnerabilities and, in one case, produce exploit code. Anthropic's own account says this reflected a narrow, non-universal jailbreak class, noting that several other models it tested (including GPT-5.5 and Kimi K2.7)

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.
