Redefining Cybersecurity for the AI Era With the launch of ChatGPT, everything changed – overnight, AI became democratized. But while everyday users turned to AI for grocery lists and grammar checks, cybercriminals weaponized it to scale attacks like never before. Now, the cyber threat landscape is evolving at an unprecedented pace, as generative AI amplifies dark web-sourced data to create hyper-personalized spear-phishing campaigns. These attacks go beyond traditional social engineering, leveraging deepfake technology, stolen credentials, and behavioral profiling to manipulate targets with near-perfect precision—blurring the line between deception and reality. The result? Stakes have never been higher, especially for the…
Amazon invested Rs 350 crore (about $41 million) into Amazon Pay India, the Economic Times reported Friday (April 25), citing regulatory filing with the Registrar of Companies. Amazon Pay was the eighth-largest Unified Payments Interface (UPI) player by transaction volume in March, and it’s looking to gain share from competitors like PhonePe and Google Pay, who have a combined market share of about 85%, according to the report. The company received a payment aggregator license from the Reserve Bank of India in February, giving a boost to its merchant payments business, and has also been approved for a prepaid payments…
Justin Angel // Penetration testing and red team engagements often require operators to collect user information from various sources that can then be translated into inputs to support social engineering and password attacks. LinkedIn is obviously a prime source for this type of information since users can associate themselves with a particular company. Assuming we have identified the companies our target organization owns during earlier stages of reconnaissance, we may be able to enumerate employee information by simply finding the company page within LinkedIn and browsing the “people” section. However, for the following (and more) reasons (or magic), this isn’t…
whether GenAI is just hype or external noise. I also thought this was hype, and I could sit this one out until the dust cleared. Oh, boy, was I wrong. GenAI has real-world applications. It also generates revenue for companies, so we expect companies to invest heavily in research. Every time a technology disrupts something, the process generally moves through the following phases: denial, anger, and acceptance. The same thing happened when computers were introduced. If we work in the software or hardware field, we might need to use GenAI at some point. In this article, I cover how to…
