The sophisticated breach that compromised over two and a half million Microsoft Edge installations highlights a critical shift in how modern threat actors leverage the very tools designed to enhance browsing efficiency without raising suspicion from the user. This campaign, colloquially known as StegoAd, utilized a deceptively simple yet

Security teams are evaluating agentic AI because security operations need faster triage, investigation, and response. The appeal is clear: AI agents can work across alerts and data sources at machine speed. However, speed alone does not guarantee better decisions. For defensive AI, context determines whether an agent understands what it is seeing, why it matters, and what action is appropriate.

Over the past years, the phishing playbook has been rewritten. In 2026, fraudulent emails don't arrive riddled with typos or bizarre requests from foreign royalty, which were easy to recognize. Nowadays, they land in inboxes looking polished, contextually relevant, and disturbingly well-informed. Cybercriminals now wield artificial intelligence, harvested corporate data, and sophisticated

The rapid integration of autonomous AI agents into the software development lifecycle has inadvertently transformed what were once considered productivity boosters into sophisticated vehicles for remote code execution. These tools represent a shift in engineering, moving beyond chat interfaces to execute complex tasks like security auditing and repository maintenance. Platforms like Anthropic’s Claude Code, utilizing Claude 3.5 Sonnet and Opus, and OpenAI’s Codex, tested via GPT-5.5, were built to interpret intent and interact with local environments. Ho
