Fake Claude Code install pages highlight rise of “InstallFix” attacks

Users looking for Anthropic’s Claude Code agentic AI coding tool are being tricked via fake Claude Code install pages into running malware, Push Security researchers have warned. The attackers behind this scheme are faithfully cloning Anthropic’s installation page, hosting it on a lookalike domain, and paying Google to surface those fake pages on the top of its results when users ask how to “install Claude Code”, “Claude Code CLI”, or simply “Claude Code”.

More AI tools, more burnout! New research explains why

Workflows built around multiple AI agents and constant tool switching are adding cognitive strain across large enterprises. A recent Harvard Business Review analysis describes this pattern as “AI brain fry,” a form of mental fatigue tied to intensive use and oversight of AI systems. Employees increasingly manage clusters of agents that generate code, synthesize information, and produce drafts at high speed. Performance systems in some organizations reward activity metrics such as token consumption and AI … More → The post More AI tools, more burnout!

Decoding silence: How deaf and hard-of-hearing pros are breaking into cybersecurity

Stu Hirst was already a CISO when he started to go deaf. It was 2023, and the hearing loss crept in over months, enough for him to adapt, to lean on hearing aids and captions, to quietly reorganize his calendar around the cognitive load of processing sound. It was manageable. Then, in July 2025, it wasn’t. “Without my very powerful hearing aids, I cannot hear speech at all,” Hirst says. “I might hear very loud, … More → The post Decoding silence: How deaf and hard-of-hearing pros are breaking into cybersecurity appeared first on Help Net Security.

Turning expertise into opportunity for women in cybersecurity

Speaker diversity in cybersecurity has been a talking point for over a decade, with panels, pledges, and dedicated conference tracks failing to produce change. Stages still skew heavily male, even as women represent millions of qualified professionals in the field. SheSpeaksCyber, a free and open directory launched by the Women4Cyber Foundation, aims to close that gap by making female experts discoverable to event organizers worldwide. With a target of 50 percent female representation at cybersecurity … More → The post Turning expertise into opportunity for women in cybersecurity appeared first on Help Net Security.

Open-source tool Sage puts a security layer between AI agents and the OS

Autonomous AI agents running on developer workstations execute shell commands, fetch URLs, and write files with little or no inspection of what they are doing. Open-source project Sage inserts an interception layer between an AI agent and those operations, checking each action before it proceeds. The project applies the term Agent Detection & Response (ADR) to this class of tooling. The name is a deliberate parallel to the endpoint detection and response (EDR) category that … More → The post Open-source tool Sage puts a security layer between AI agents and the OS appeared first on Help Net Security.

Submarine cables move to the center of critical infrastructure security debate

The cables running along the ocean floor carry the overwhelming majority of the world’s cross-border data traffic, and for most of their operational history they have attracted little strategic attention. That is changing. A new sector report from Capacity Insights draws on interviews with senior executives across the subsea industry to examine how demand growth, hyperscaler investment, and geopolitical pressure are converging on infrastructure that governments and operators are only beginning to treat as a … More → The post Submarine cables move to the center of critical infrastructure security debate appeared first on Help Net Security.
