ScreenConnect cloud administrators across all region and industries are being targeted with fake email alerts warning about a potentially suspicious login event. The goal of the attackers is to grab the login credentials and MFA tokens of Super Admins: users who have full control over their organization’s ScreenConnect deployment. The campaign ScreenConnect, by US company ConnectWise, is a popular remote support and access solution tailored for IT departments and managed service providers (MSPs). The platform can be hosted by ConnectWise (in their cloud) or self-hosted by organizations (on-prem or in their own private cloud). The attack campaign spotted by Mimecast…

into the fascinating and rapidly evolving science of LLM prompt iteration, which is a fundamental part of Large Language Model Operations (LLMOPs). We’ll use the example of generating customer service responses with a real-world dataset to show how both generator and LLM-judge prompts can be developed in a systematic fashion with DSPy. All the code for this project, including several notebooks and a nice README written by Claude, can be found here. The field of applied AI, which typically involves building pipelines that connect data to Large Language Models (LLMs) in a way that generates business value, is evolving rapidly. There…
Fandango is only available in the US, so if you travel abroad, you won’t be able to access your content from home. A VPN allows you to appear to be in another country, so you can connect to a US server while traveling and access Fandango. But many sites also block VPNs. We regularly test the 78 best-known VPNs to find which are the fastest and most reliable, while allowing access to Fandango. NordVPN is our #1 recommendation for Fandango. It unblocks all major streaming services, keeps no logs, and has solid encryption. Fandango at Home has one of the…
Securing the Hybrid Network Landscape with a Hybrid Mesh Firewall Solution from Palo Alto Networks In today’s distributed, cloud-first world, enterprises face unprecedented challenges securing their networks. Hybrid workforces, multicloud adoption, AI-driven workloads and the explosive growth of connected IoT and OT devices have created a patchwork of environments that traditional firewall models simply can’t keep up with. A hardware-only approach leaves gaps at the edge, while cloud-only firewalls can’t provide consistent protection across on-premises infrastructure. The result is operational complexity with blind spots and an expanding attack surface. This is exactly what the Hybrid Mesh Firewall Platform (HMF) was…

Check Point researchers have uncovered a large-scale active phishing campaign abusing Google Classroom, a platform trusted by millions of students and educators worldwide. Over the course of just one week, attackers launched five coordinated waves, distributing more than 115,000 phishing emails aimed at 13,500 organizations across multiple industries. Organizations in Europe, North America, the Middle East and Asia are being targeted. Turning a Trusted Tool into a Threat Vector Google Classroom is designed to connect teachers and students through invitations to join digital classrooms. Attackers exploited this trust by sending fake invitations that contained unrelated commercial offers, ranging from product…
Android.Backdoor.916.origin malware targets Russian business executives Pierluigi Paganini August 25, 2025 New Android spyware Android.Backdoor.916.origin is disguised as an antivirus linked to Russia’s intelligence agency FSB, and targets business executives. Doctor Web researchers observed a multifunctional backdoor Android.Backdoor.916.origin targeting Android devices belonging to representatives of Russian businesses. The malware executes attacker commands, enabling surveillance, keylogging, and theft of chats, browser data, and even live camera/audio streams. The experts observed the first versions of the backdoor in January 2025. Since its discovery, the researchers have monitored the evolution of this threat identifying multiple versions. Doctor Web speculates that Android.Backdoor.916.origin was designed to be employed…
