What is a zero-day vulnerability, and why does the name matter?
Brandi ReedA zero-day is a flaw the vendor has had zero days to fix — attackers exploit it before a patch exists, and defenders lean on detection and speed rather than updates.
Threats
Threats tracks live attack activity: ransomware operations, malware families, phishing infrastructure, credential theft and supply chain compromise. Each report explains initial access, movement and persistence, then lists indicators and the sectors under pressure. Written for defenders deciding what to prioritize with limited hours.
Active intrusion campaigns explained by method: initial access, tooling, persistence and the sectors being targeted, with indicators defenders can use.
Threats
Deepfake voice scam calls explained: the 'family emergency' call that sounds real
Brandi ReedAI voice cloning needs seconds of audio to imitate a voice — the defense is a family verification codeword and a call-back rule that no emergency survives.
Threats
Malvertising explained: the poisoned ads that outrank the real download
Brandi ReedMalvertising hides malware behind paid ads and sponsored search results — victims searching for real software click the ad, download a trojanized installer, and infect themselves with the vendor's own name on it.
Threats
Quishing explained: why scammers love QR codes, and how to scan safely
Brandi ReedQuishing is phishing delivered through QR codes — the pattern hides the URL from security tools and your own eyes, so the defense is never scanning codes from unsolicited messages.
Threats
Supply chain attacks explained: when the software you trusted delivers the intruder
Brandi ReedA supply chain attack compromises a vendor, update mechanism, or dependency so malicious code rides in through a trusted channel — the defense is fewer dependencies, verified builds, and fast patch paths.
