The AI SOC Stack of 2026: What Sets Top-Tier Platforms Apart?

By: Unknown
The SOC of 2026 will no longer be a human-only battlefield. As organizations scale and threats evolve in sophistication and velocity, a new generation of AI-powered agents is reshaping how Security Operations Centers (SOCs) detect, respond, and adapt. But not all AI SOC platforms are created equal. From prompt-dependent copilots to autonomous, multi-agent systems, the current market offers

Look mom HR application, look mom no job - phishing using Zoom docs to harvest Gmail creds

By: ／u／unknownhad

Hey all, I found a phishing campaign that uses Zoom's document share flow as the initial trust vector. It forces victims through a fake "bot protection" gate, then shows a Gmail-like login. When someone types credentials, they are pushed out to the attacker over a WebSocket and the backend validates them.

Step Into the Password Graveyard… If You Dare (and Join the Live Session)

By: Unknown
Every year, weak passwords lead to millions in losses — and many of those breaches could have been stopped. Attackers don’t need advanced tools; they just need one careless login. For IT teams, that means endless resets, compliance struggles, and sleepless nights worrying about the next credential leak. This Halloween, The Hacker News and Specops Software invite you to a live webinar: “

New Research: AI Is Already the #1 Data Exfiltration Channel in the Enterprise

By: Unknown
For years, security leaders have treated artificial intelligence as an “emerging” technology, something to keep an eye on but not yet mission-critical. A new Enterprise AI and SaaS Data Security Report by AI & Browser Security company LayerX proves just how outdated that mindset has become. Far from a future concern, AI is already the single largest uncontrolled channel for corporate data

Automating Pentest Delivery: 7 Key Workflows for Maximum Impact

By: Unknown
Penetration testing is critical to uncovering real-world security weaknesses. With the shift into continuous testing and validation, it is time we automate the delivery of these results. The way results are delivered hasn’t kept up with today’s fast-moving threat landscape. Too often, findings are packaged into static reports, buried in PDFs or spreadsheets, and handed off manually to

How to Close Threat Detection Gaps: Your SOC's Action Plan

By: Unknown
Running a SOC often feels like drowning in alerts. Every morning, dashboards light up with thousands of signals; some urgent, many irrelevant. The job is to find the real threats fast enough to keep cases from piling up, prevent analyst burnout, and maintain client or leadership confidence. The toughest challenges, however, aren’t the alerts that can be dismissed quickly, but the ones that hide

Stop Alert Chaos: Context Is the Key to Effective Incident Response

By: Unknown
The Problem: Legacy SOCs and Endless Alert Noise Every SOC leader knows the feeling: hundreds of alerts pouring in, dashboards lighting up like a slot machine, analysts scrambling to keep pace. The harder they try to scale people or buy new tools, the faster the chaos multiplies. The problem is not just volume; it is the model itself. Traditional SOCs start with rules, wait for alerts to fire,

Crash Tests for Security: Why BAS Is Proof of Defense, Not Assumptions

By: Unknown
Car makers don’t trust blueprints. They smash prototypes into walls. Again and again. In controlled conditions. Because design specs don’t prove survival. Crash tests do. They separate theory from reality. Cybersecurity is no different. Dashboards overflow with “critical” exposure alerts. Compliance reports tick every box.  But none of that proves what matters most to a CISO: The

CTEM's Core: Prioritization and Validation

By: Unknown
Despite a coordinated investment of time, effort, planning, and resources, even the most up-to-date cybersecurity systems continue to fail. Every day. Why?  It’s not because security teams can't see enough. Quite the contrary. Every security tool spits out thousands of findings. Patch this. Block that. Investigate this. It's a tsunami of red dots that not even the most crackerjack team on

Tech Overtakes Gaming as Top DDoS Attack Target, New Gcore Radar Report Finds

How to Gain Control of AI Agents and Non-Human Identities

By: Unknown
We hear this a lot: “We’ve got hundreds of service accounts and AI agents running in the background. We didn’t create most of them. We don’t know who owns them. How are we supposed to secure them?” Every enterprise today runs on more than users.

Practical guide for hunters: how leaked webhooks are abused and how to defend them

By: ／u／unknownhad

I wrote a hands on guide that shows how leaked webhooks surface as an attack vector; how to find them in the wild; how to craft safe non destructive PoCs; how to harden receivers. Includes curl examples for Slack and Discord; Node.js and Go HMAC verification samples; a disclosure template.

Why this matters

  • webhooks are often treated as bearer secrets; leaks are common
  • small mistakes in verification or ordering can become business logic bugs
  • many real world impacts are serviceable without flashy RCE

What you get in the post

  • threat model and scope guidance
  • detection rules and SIEM ideas

Read it here: https://blog.himanshuanand.com/posts/2025-09-17-how-to-hack-webhooks/
Notes: do not test endpoints you do not own. follow program scope and responsible disclosure rules.

Happy hunting

How Leading CISOs are Getting Budget Approval

By: Unknown
It’s budget season. Once again, security is being questioned, scrutinized, or deprioritized. If you're a CISO or security leader, you've likely found yourself explaining why your program matters, why a given tool or headcount is essential, and how the next breach is one blind spot away. But these arguments often fall short unless they're framed in a way the board can understand and appreciate.
