CDK’s State of Dealership Cybersecurity 2025 study reveals that while 90% of dealership leaders recognize the importance of cybersecurity protocols, fewer than half feel confident in their systems’ ability to protect against attacks.

Key insights from this year’s report include:

  • Cyberattack Trends: One in five dealerships reported being targeted in 2025, with phishing and ransomware

31000257291?profile=RESIZE_400xOn 18 November 2025 at 11:20 UTC, Cloudflare's network began experiencing significant failures to deliver core network traffic.  This showed up to Internet users trying to access its customers' sites as an error page indicating a failure within Cloudflare's network.

According to researchers Matthew Prince, the issue was not caused, directly or indirectly, by a cyber-attack or malicious activity of any kind.  Instead, it was triggered by a change to one of its database systems' permissions which

30999073457?profile=RESIZE_400xSentinelLABS has provided yet another expert analysis.  Tracking threat actor infrastructure has become increasingly complex.  Modern adversaries rotate domains, reuse hosting, and replicate infrastructure templates across operations, making it difficult to connect isolated indicators to broader activity.  Checking an IP address, a domain, or a certificate in isolation often yields little value when adversaries hide behind short-lived domains and churned TLS certificates.  As a result, analysts

30999070864?profile=RESIZE_400xSecurity solutions firm Sophos has released its fifth annual Sophos State of Ransomware in Retail report.  The report, which surveyed IT and cybersecurity leaders across 16 countries, reveals alarming trends in ransomware incidents affecting the retail sector.  The report highlights that nearly half (46%) of retail ransomware incidents were traced back to an unknown security gap, indicating significant visibility challenges within the retail attack surface.[1]

30991442883?profile=RESIZE_400xThe federal government confirmed on 14 November that hackers are exploiting a vulnerability affecting Fortinet devices that has caused alarm among cybersecurity experts since early October 2025.  The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) gave all federal civilian agencies seven days to patch CVE-2025-64446 and released an advisory that said it is “aware of exploitation.”  CISA typically gives agencies 21 days to patch most vulnerabilities added to its list of exploited bugs.  C

13770105061?profile=RESIZE_400xIn the lead-up to Black Friday and Cyber Monday 2025, the retail sector in the US is facing a significant increase in cyber-attacks targeting both online and brick-and-mortar businesses.  Threat actors have and are leveraging sophisticated phishing campaigns, malicious websites masquerading as legitimate retailers, and ransomware attacks timed to disrupt critical sales periods.  According to recent industry reports, cybercriminals are exploiting the surge in online shopping traffic by deploying

30989133880?profile=RESIZE_400xThe concept of robots fighting back is explored in both fictional narratives and real-life incidents, raising questions about the implications of advanced robotics and AI.[1]  By now you’ve probably watched a few (dozen) videos from Boston Dynamics, the robotics company that makes its bones on developing bots that can do wildly impressive things.  Heck, you’ve probably seen the firm’s viral videos posted on our page.  Every few months, the Massachusetts-based maker releases clips of its creation

30989139496?profile=RESIZE_400xThe Dun & Bradstreet Financial Services & Insurance Pulse Survey 2025, built on responses from more than 2,000 senior professionals across five markets (US, UK, Sweden, Germany, Switzerland), reveals a sector racing to modernize but hamstrung by legacy systems, fragmented data, and intensifying cyber risk.  It is a familiar paradox for CISOs: record spending on innovation yet growing unease that resilience isn't keeping pace.  Cybersecurity sits at the very top of industry concern, with 79% of f

30989138291?profile=RESIZE_400xThe financial sector remains a prime target for cyber-attacks, with attackers constantly seeking to exploit vulnerabilities across the industry's global supply chain.   Cyber risk intelligence firm Bitsight has conducted a comprehensive analysis, mapping 41,511 financial organizations and 50,232 relationships with third-party technology providers.  The aim is to shed light on the hidden pillars of the financial sector and enhance resilience against cyber threats.[1]

30987756482?profile=RESIZE_400xRecently, a good friend of mine sent along a joke.  Dave has a dry sense of humor, often sprinkled with sarcasm.  Since many areas of the US have opening seasons for hunting, our online conversations were on that subject.  Dave then posted: “I think I want to try hunting.  When does meatloaf season open?”  That’s so Dave.

To be additionally funny, I asked Artificial Intelligence (AI) about “meatloaf hunting season.”  The immediate response was, “There is no official hunting season for an animal

30986299279?profile=RESIZE_400xWhat's better, prevention or cure?  For a long time the global cybersecurity industry has operated by reacting to attacks and computer viruses.  But given that ransomware has continued to escalate, more proactive action is needed.…  Malware vaccines were a hot topic of discussion at the recent ONE Conference in The Hague, where Justin Grosfelt, senior manager for the Reversing, Emulation, and Testing team at global cybersecurity firm Recorded Future, presented new research showing it is possible

30986186458?profile=RESIZE_400xThe cybersecurity community is spinning from a disturbing indictment that underscores a frightening new dimension of insider risk and supply chain betrayal.   The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has unsealed charges against two former employees of a US-based cybersecurity firm, accusing them of a stunning conflict of interest: allegedly launching the very ransomware attacks they were hired to help victims recover from.[1]

As reported by TechCrunch and BleepingComputer, the individuals are charged

30985843269?profile=RESIZE_400xUkraine’s grain industry has become the latest target of the notorious Russian state-backed hacking unit Sandworm, amid Moscow's ongoing efforts to undermine the country’s wartime economy.  According to new research from the Slovak cybersecurity firm ESET, the Kremlin-linked group deployed multiple data-wiping malware strains against Ukrainian organizations in the grain, energy, logistics, and government sectors between June and September.  While wiper attacks have frequently hit Ukrainian infra

30985984263?profile=RESIZE_400xFor over ten years, computer scientist Randy Goebel and his colleagues in Japan have been quietly conducting one of the most revealing experiments in artificial intelligence —a legal reasoning competition based on the Japanese bar exam.  The challenge is to have AI systems retrieve relevant laws and then answer the core question at the heart of every legal case of whether the law was broken or not. That yes/no decision, it turns out, is where AI stumbles hardest.  This struggle has profound impl

30985828062?profile=RESIZE_400xEvery November 11th, the United States observes Veterans Day, a federal holiday dedicated to honoring the men and women who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces. While parades, community events, and expressions of gratitude fill the day, the spiritual heart of this solemn observance beats loudest at Arlington National Cemetery, before the hallowed ground of the Tomb of the Unknowns.

From Armistice to All Veterans: The Evolution of a Holiday - Veterans Day traces its roots to the end of World War

30984543477?profile=RESIZE_400xState-backed hackers are for the first time deploying malware that uses large language models during execution, allowing them to dynamically generate malicious scripts and evade detection, according to new research.  Although cybersecurity experts have observed hackers use AI in recent years to do things like increase the number of victims they reach, researchers at Google said recently that they recently observed malware "that employed AI capabilities mid-execution to dynamically alter the malw
