Generative AI makes the divide between phishing attempts and genuine emails more blurry. So how do you protect yourself? Hint - AI can be just as good, if not better on the defense. Thanks for the conversation @IanKingSky

It's imperative we continue to take offensive action, track threat actors, and stay informed on the threat landscape / threat actor behavior. Pleased to see @TalosSecurity working behind the scenes to keep us informed. https://t.co/RVfYxn76u9

The FBI and European law enforcement agencies have arrested more than 100 people as part of a global crackdown on a cybercrime forum that facilitated large-scale identity theft, officials said...
Genesis Market “was one of the most, if not the most popular marketplace for stolen network and user information,” @AShukuhi told CNN. “Based on my experience, the void will be filled by those who were not arrested.”

Do you know what is holding your #cybersec software back? It could be your own processes.

You wouldn’t invest in a home gym and hire a personal trainer to get in shape without losing that nightly ice-cream habit. You wouldn’t buy a hybrid car but run it only on gasoline.
