Employees keep finding new ways around company access controls

AI, SaaS, and personal devices are changing how people get work done, but the tools that protect company systems have not kept up, according to 1Password. Tools like SSO, MDM, and IAM no longer align with how employees and AI agents access data. The result is what researchers call the “access-trust gap,” a growing distance between what organizations think they can control and how employees and AI systems access company data. The survey tracks four … More → The post Employees keep finding new ways around company access controls appeared first on Help Net Security.

Europe’s phone networks are drowning in fake calls

Caller ID spoofing has become one of Europe’s most persistent enablers of cyber fraud. A new position paper from Europol warns that manipulated phone identities now drive much of the continent’s financial and social engineering crime, making it difficult for law enforcement to track perpetrators. The agency estimates global losses at around EUR 850 million a year, with phone and text-based fraud accounting for roughly two thirds of reported scam cases. A network flooded with … More → The post Europe’s phone networks are drowning in fake calls appeared first on Help Net Security.

Alleged Jabber Zeus Coder ‘MrICQ’ in U.S. Custody

A Ukrainian man indicted in 2012 for conspiring with a prolific hacking group to steal tens of millions of dollars from U.S. businesses was arrested in Italy and is now in custody in the United States, KrebsOnSecurity has learned. Sources close to the investigation say Yuriy Igorevich Rybtsov, a 41-year-old from the Russia-controlled city of Donetsk, Ukraine, was previously referenced in U.S. federal charging documents only by his online handle “MrICQ.” According to a 13-year-old indictment filed by prosecutors in Nebraska, MrICQ was a developer for a cybercrime group known as “Jabber Zeus.”

Scans for Port 8530/8531 (TCP). Likely related to WSUS Vulnerability CVE-2025-59287, (Sun, Nov 2nd)

Sensors reporting firewall logs detected a significant increase in scans for port 8530/TCP and 8531/TCP over the course of last week. Some of these reports originate from Shadowserver, and likely other researchers, but there are also some that do not correspond to known research-related IP addresses.

Quantum light breakthrough could transform technology

Scientists have achieved a breakthrough in light manipulation by using topological insulators to generate both even and odd terahertz frequencies through high-order harmonic generation (HHG). By embedding these exotic materials into nanostructured resonators, the team was able to amplify light in unprecedented ways, confirming long-theorized quantum effects. This discovery opens the door to new terahertz technologies with vast implications for ultrafast electronics, wireless communication, and quantum computing.
