Varonis Interceptor stops AI-evasive email attacks

Varonis Systems announced the availability of Varonis Interceptor, a new approach to email security that uses multi-layered AI to detect and block social engineering attacks, even when they originate from trusted or compromised sources. Attackers are using LLMs to deliver targeted phishing campaigns and craft pixel-perfect credential stealing websites at machine speed. When attacks come from compromised vendors or hijacked employee accounts, traditional detection methods break down. “Bad actors aren’t hacking computers, they’re hacking trust,” … More → The post Varonis Interceptor stops AI-evasive email attacks appeared first on Help Net Security.

Scientists unlock the quantum magic hidden in diamonds

Researchers have found a way to extract almost every photon from diamond color centers, a key obstacle in quantum technology. Using hybrid nanoantennas, they precisely guided light from nanodiamonds into a single direction, achieving 80% efficiency at room temperature. The innovation could make practical quantum sensors and secure communication devices much closer to reality.

A strange quantum metal just rewrote the rules of electricity

In a remarkable leap for quantum physics, researchers in Japan have uncovered how weak magnetic fields can reverse tiny electrical currents in kagome metals—quantum materials with a woven atomic structure that frustrates electrons into forming complex patterns. These reversals amplify the metal’s electrical asymmetry, creating a diode-like effect up to 100 times stronger than expected. The team’s theoretical explanation finally clarifies a mysterious phenomenon first observed in 2020, revealing that quantum geometry and spontaneous symmetry breaking are key to this strange behavior.

Researchers uncover ClickFix-themed phishing kit

Palo Alto Networks researchers have discovered and analyzed “IUAM ClickFix Generator”, a phishing kit that allows less skilled attackers to infect unsuspecting users with malware by using the increasingly popular ClickFix social engineering technique. “This tool allows threat actors to create highly customizable phishing pages that mimic the challenge-response behavior of a browser verification page commonly deployed by Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) and cloud security providers to defend against automated threats. The spoofed interface is … More → The post Researchers uncover ClickFix-themed phishing kit appeared first on Help Net Security.

North Korean hackers stole over $2 billion in cryptocurrency this year

North Korean hackers have stolen more than $2 billion in cryptocurrency in 2025, according to blockchain analytics firm Elliptic, and the year isn’t over yet. Though this year’s record losses are driven largely by the February attack on cryptocurrency exchange Bybit ($1.46 billion stolen), the company has also linked more than thirty additional hacks to North Korea this year. “The actual figure may be even higher,” the company says. “We are aware of many other … More → The post North Korean hackers stole over $2 billion in cryptocurrency this year appeared first on Help Net Security.
