BioCatch DeviceIQ helps banks spot risky devices before login

BioCatch has announced the launch of DeviceIQ, a comprehensive new device identification and intelligence product that transforms how financial institutions evaluate the trustworthiness of devices used for digital banking. Traditional device identification has grown increasingly unreliable. Criminals utilize sophisticated evasion techniques (emulators, device spoofing, cloaked browsers, jailbroken devices, and data-wiping) to commit fraud repeatedly from the same physical devices. New technologies like agentic browsers add another layer of complexity by separating a user’s actions from … More → The post BioCatch DeviceIQ helps banks spot risky devices before login appeared first on Help Net Security.

AI coding agents keep repeating decade-old security mistakes

Coding agents are now writing production features on real development teams, and a new report from DryRun Security shows that those agents introduce security vulnerabilities at a high rate across nearly every type of application they build. “AI coding agents can produce working software at incredible speed, but security isn’t part of their default thinking,” said James Wickett, CEO of DryRun Security. “In our usage and experience, AI coding agents often missed adding security components … More → The post AI coding agents keep repeating decade-old security mistakes appeared first on Help Net Security.

Scientists built the hardest AI test ever and the results are surprising

As AI systems began acing traditional tests, researchers realized those benchmarks were no longer tough enough. In response, nearly 1,000 experts created Humanity’s Last Exam, a massive 2,500-question challenge covering highly specialized topics across many fields. The exam was engineered so that any question solvable by current AI models was removed. Early results show even the most advanced systems still struggle — revealing a surprisingly large gap between AI performance and true expert-level knowledge.

Passwords, MFA, and why neither is enough

Passwords weren’t enough, so we added MFA. Now MFA isn’t enough either. In this Help Net Security video, Karlo Zatylny, CTO/CISO at Portnox, walks through why each layer of identity security has failed and what comes next. SMS codes can be intercepted through SIM swapping. Authenticator apps are vulnerable to replay attacks and push bombing. And even when MFA works correctly, session hijacking can let attackers impersonate a user after authentication is complete. The solution … More → The post Passwords, MFA, and why neither is enough appeared first on Help Net Security.
