One thing that folks never seem to do after "going to the CLOOOOUUUUD" is to look at their logs, logs that they would have checked daily when things were on premise.
 One log that really bears looking at is the log of successful and failed logins. the call for that is:

Enterprise cybersecurity expert Jake Williams joins the Dark Reading News Desk to explain why he decided to release his new agentic AI framework in the wake of the OpenAI attacks on Hugging Face.
The Rust Project has deleted malicious versions of three widely used Rust crates from crates.io after a compromised maintainer account published releases that added a typosquatted dependency whose build script downloaded and executed a remote payload during compilation. The affected releases are arrayref 0.3.10, internment 0.8.7, and append-only-vec 0.1.9, all published from the same owner
Three distinct suspected Russian cyber espionage threat clusters have been observed leveraging legitimate authentication flows to single out individuals working in academia, aerospace and defense, governments, and think tanks across Europe, as well as academia and think tanks within the U.S. These clusters include UNC6293, UNC7005, and UNC5976. "These clusters engage in persistent, adaptive
Suspected military-grade hackers based in China used artificial intelligence to develop malware in a campaign to penetrate Central Asian governments.
In this video, Dark Reading editors discuss some of the news they didn't get a chance to cover, including some scary airplane security risks and the US government's newest "hack back" strategy.
As firewall rule sets grow in complexity, security teams face a common challenge: manual log analysis is used to determine which rules are actively matching traffic and which are consuming capacity without being triggered. This lack of visibility creates operational and compliance gaps. Organizations with governance policies that require removal of dormant rules after a […]
Manic Android malware combines banking fraud and spyware, using a Bluetooth relay to steal data even when devices are offline. ThreatFabric’s Mobile Threat Intelligence team has identified a new Android malware, dubbed Manic, which has been active in the wild since at least February 2026. The researchers state that the malware is still under development […]

Law enforcement training is falling behind the volume and rapid evolution of cybercrimes. Officers really only need to learn the basics, but lack of focus and budget hinder progress.
A lot of this week’s trouble starts with something trusted doing exactly what it was allowed to do. Signed drivers get turned against defenses. Legitimate apps help malware blend in. A weak header check opens a path to code execution. Elsewhere, exposed systems, old bugs, odd hiding tricks, and AI-assisted exploit research keep lowering the effort needed to cause damage. Nothing here needs
The U.S. government on Wednesday warned of an "active threat" targeting critical infrastructure organizations in the country using artificial intelligence (AI)-generated exploit scripts. The activity is targeting Siemens S7 SeriesProgrammable Logic Controllers (PLCs) to conduct reconnaissance and capability development using AI-generated scripts disguised as legitimate monitoring tools.

Adversa AI has disclosed an attack technique that it says can cause xAI's Grok chatbot to send a user's name, approximate location, subscription tier, and the prompts from the ongoing conversation to an attacker-controlled server after the user asks it to summarize an ordinary web page. The AI security company, which has codenamed the technique "Cryptographic Context Injection," said the
