Visa named Anthropic, OpenAI, and Perplexity as agentic commerce partners. As that shift accelerates, the central question facing every organization becomes: Is this person real, and did they authorize this specific action, … More → The post Prove Identity Platform connects verification, authentication, and fraud prevention appeared first on Help Net Security.

New Mirai variants target routers and DVRs in parallel campaigns

Hidden inside newly discovered botnet malware is an unusual message from its creator: “AI.NEEDS.TO.DIE”. Dubbed “tuxnokill” by researchers at Akamai, the malware is one of two fresh Mirai botnet variants documented this month by major cybersecurity firms and, judging by the aforementioned hard-coded string, this particular variant might have been coded the old-fashioned way. “Tuxnokill” and “Nexcorium” Based on hits on the company’s global network of honeypots, Akamai found that tuxnokill is spreading through CVE-2025-29635, … More → The post New Mirai variants target routers and DVRs in parallel campaigns appeared first on Help Net Security.

Phishing reclaims the top initial access spot, attackers experiment with AI tools

Phishing returned as the leading method attackers used to break into organizations in the first quarter of 2026, accounting for over a third of engagements where initial access could be determined, according to Cisco Talos. It is the first quarter phishing has led the category since Q2 2025, when exploitation of public-facing applications took over following widespread attacks against on-premises Microsoft SharePoint servers. That SharePoint exploitation wave, collectively tracked as ToolShell, drove public-facing application exploitation … More → The post Phishing reclaims the top initial access spot, attackers experiment with AI tools appeared first on Help Net Security.

AI just revealed ocean currents we’ve never been able to see

A new AI-driven method called GOFLOW is turning weather satellite images into highly detailed maps of ocean currents. By tracking how temperature patterns shift over time, it can reveal fast-moving, small-scale currents that were previously impossible to observe directly. These currents are key to understanding climate, marine ecosystems, and carbon storage. The breakthrough works using satellites already in orbit, making it both powerful and cost-effective.

This donut-shaped discovery just shattered a 150-year math rule

A 150-year-old rule in geometry has been proven wrong. Mathematicians found two different doughnut-shaped surfaces that look identical when measured locally but are actually different overall. For decades, researchers suspected this might be possible but couldn’t prove it—until now. The breakthrough reshapes how mathematicians understand the relationship between local measurements and global form.
