QR code and CAPTCHA-gated phishing more than doubled in Q1 2026, with QR attacks up 146%, according to a report by @Microsoft. Attackers use PDFs and CAPTCHAs to evade detection and steal credentials. #cybersecurity #CISO #infosec bit.ly/4n0xvRQ

CTEM fails when it’s just dashboards, says @PrivacyPC's David Balaban in this op-ed. Make it operational: continuous discovery, real-world validation, and action tied to daily workflows — not quarterly scans. #cybersecurity #CISO #infosec bit.ly/3P8PAAN

.@Cisco unveils open-source “DNA test” for AI models, helping trace origins, detect tampering, and bring much-needed transparency to the #AI supply chain. #cybersecurity #CISO #infosec bit.ly/3QMDPAw

VECT 2.0 #ransomware flaw destroys files over 128KB — making them unrecoverable even after payment and exposing major flaws in the TeamPCP-linked operation, according to @CheckPointSW research. #cybersecurity #CISO #infosec bit.ly/4tII1Qt

.@CISAgov adds ConnectWise and Windows flaws to KEV list, citing active exploitation and chaining risks — federal agencies ordered to patch by May 12. #cybersecurity #infosec #CISO bit.ly/4cY4YYw

.@Microsoft patched an Entra ID flaw that let #AI agent roles escalate privileges, exposing a “scope gap” that could enable tenant-wide takeovers if abused. #cybersecurity #CISO #infosec bit.ly/3QJgLT8

.@theori_io reported that the “Copy Fail” Linux bug lets attackers gain root with a tiny script. Found in ~1 hour via #AI, it impacts systems since 2017 and raises urgent patching concerns for cloud and CI/CD. #cybersecurity #CISO #infosec bit.ly/4cKD17V

Restoring everything after an attack isn’t resilience — it’s risk, says @Cohesity's James Blake in this op-ed. The “Minimum Viable Company” model focuses on what must survive to keep the business running. #cybersecurity #CISO #infosec bit.ly/4dhB56O

#AI agents boost productivity, but also expand risk, said @SailPoint's Matt Fangman in a @cyberriskall webcast. Without scalable identity governance and lifecycle controls, organizations risk losing visibility into what agents do and access. #CISO #infosec bit.ly/3RePKqP

Cyber risk is now interconnected — driven by geopolitics, #AI, supply chains, and human error, says the Information Security Forum's Steve Durbin in this op-ed. Resilience, not prevention, is key to keeping operations running amid disruption. #infosec bit.ly/4cILk47

#AI adoption isn’t a tech problem — it’s a governance one. Poor visibility, weak compliance, and ungoverned agents are stalling progress and raising risk across enterprises, says @AvePoint's Scott Sacket in this op-ed. #cybersecurity #CISO #infosec bit.ly/4tLbmcZ

AI moves fast — so must security. Real-time data visibility, policy controls, and precise rollback are key to managing #AI risk and reversing mistakes before they spread. Platforms like @Veeam's Agent Commander enables targeted remediation. #cybersecurity bit.ly/42FZexQ

Medtronic confirms cyberattack with data access, but no operational impact. The Iran-linked threat group Handala, the same group behind a cyberattack on medical device maker Stryker, claimed the April 24 attack. #cybersecurity #CISO #infosec bit.ly/4cRQUjl

.@SocketSecurity found the GlassWorm campaign planting 73 “sleeper” VS Code extensions, activating some to steal data and spread malware — using stealth tactics that evade detection until triggered. #cybersecurity #CISO #infosec bit.ly/4mWEgnS
