Non-interactive SSH attacks dominate after login

Anyone who runs a server with SSH exposed to the internet sees the same pattern in the logs. A steady stream of automated scanners tries to log in, hour after hour, from addresses all over the world. The common picture of what comes next has an attacker landing a shell, looking around the system, and typing commands. The reality recorded across eleven research honeypots looks almost nothing like that. Eleven SSH honeypots ran on cloud … More → The post Non-interactive SSH attacks dominate after login appeared first on Help Net Security.

Geopolitical cyber threats are turning HR into a security front line

In this Help Net Security video, Roman Sannikov, Global Research Coordinator at iCOUNTER, explains why geopolitics belongs in every security team’s threat model. With open and simmering conflicts around the world, attacks can come from actors that would never have targeted your company before. He walks through various cases. Many of these threats sit two or three steps beyond your usual list of adversaries. The lesson is to widen your scope. Watch traffic heading to … More → The post Geopolitical cyber threats are turning HR into a security front line appeared first on Help Net Security.

Organizations struggle to prioritize known cyber risks

Organizations collect more cyber risk data than ever, with many still struggling to build a unified view of their exposure. The latest State of Threat Management report from Filigran found that security teams continue to work across disconnected tools, leaving important context spread across multiple systems. Cloud infrastructure, on-premises environments, third-party services, vulnerability scanners, threat intelligence feeds, and attack surface management platforms all generate information about potential risk. 93% of organizations experience challenges maintaining an … More → The post Organizations struggle to prioritize known cyber risks appeared first on Help Net Security.

Tiny magnetic waves could unlock quantum computers the size of a penny

A major breakthrough in quantum technology has turned magnons, tiny magnetic waves once considered too short-lived for practical use, into promising carriers of quantum information. Researchers extended their lifetime by nearly 100 times, reaching up to 18 microseconds, and discovered that the main limitation is not a law of physics but the purity of the material itself. That means future improvements could come from better manufacturing rather than entirely new discoveries.

Scientists create quantum sound device that could transform communications

A new quantum device can generate precisely controlled bursts of sound-like particles, or phonons, by forcing electrons through an ultra-thin crystal at extremely low temperatures. The surprising behavior pushes beyond the limits predicted by current theories, suggesting scientists need to rethink how energy moves through advanced materials. In the future, the breakthrough could lead to phonon lasers, faster communications, improved medical technologies, and powerful new sensing systems.
