Anyone can use automated AI coding, also known as vibe coding,  tools to generate large amounts of code automatically, and cloud services make it incredibly easy to put applications online. The problem is, many apps created this way completely lack security, putting sensitive personal or corporate data at risk.

Gaining root access to a system is a lot like getting master keys to an entire building. Malicious actors gain access and control over the entire system, as well as the ability to move further into connected systems without being noticed. This can be an issue for all computer systems, but recently the spotlight has been on Linux due to the “Copy Fail” Linux security vulnerability.

Most cyberattacks don’t come from a single hacker sitting behind one computer. Sometimes they rely on thousands of devices working together without their owners even realizing it. These networks are called botnets. And they’ve become one of the most powerful tools in modern cybercrime, and they’re only growing in magnitude.

Much of a computer’s security is only active after it starts. For instance, antivirus software scans files, browsers block suspicious websites, and operating systems install security patches. But what about during startup? Not many people know that during this phase, a computer is especially vulnerable, because the system hasn’t fully loaded, and security tools aren’t active yet.

Using the Internet often feels completely anonymous. You can create a username, avoid sharing your real name, and take part in online communities without revealing who you are. Unfortunately, you’re likely not as anonymous as you think.

Ever get a message from a friend on WhatsApp that seemed slightly off? Maybe they ask you for a quick favor, or they send you an unusual link. But because it’s coming from someone you know, you might just comply or click without thinking. This is one of the most common ways scammers can hijack your WhatsApp account.
