Companies’ widespread confidence in their cyber resilience is facing a new wave of threats, this time from artificial intelligence. According to the OpenText Cybersecurity 2025 Report, 95% of organizations worldwide believe they can recover from a ransomware attack. However, the reality turned out to be much more complex: only 15% of victims actually recovered all their data, and a growing number of incidents are attributed to the use of artificial intelligence for offensive purposes. A study of nearly 1,800 security professionals and business executives from the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia shows that trust levels are rising in tandem with the

The NIS 2 Decree (Legislative Decree 138/2024), effective October 16, 2024, implements the principles of the European NIS2 Directive, laying the foundation for a more complex operational model of collaboration between stakeholders and the competent authority regarding cyber incident management. This management is essentially more rigorous, structured, and binding, with extended notification obligations and specific deadlines for businesses and public administrations. In fact, to fulfill the obligations set forth in Articles 23, 24, and 25 of the decree, NIS entities are required to adopt security measures and notify CSIRT Italia – the unit established within the ACN to monitor and respond to

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has entered into a strategic collaboration with Nvidia and Oracle to build seven next-generation AI-powered supercomputers , set to revolutionize scientific research and the development of intelligent agents. Two of these systems will be installed at Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois, which will house the largest AI supercomputing infrastructure ever built by the Department of Energy. At NVIDIA’s GPU Technology Conference, CEO Jensen Huang announced Project Solstice , described as the largest AI supercomputer ever built for the DOE. The system will be equipped with 100,000 Blackwell GPUs and built in collaboration with Oracle and Argonne

A DNS service outage was detected by Microsoft on October 29, 2025, impacting access to critical services such as Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365. An anomaly was detected at 21:37 GMT+5:30, causing widespread delays in various applications and blocking users from accessing the Microsoft 365 admin area. According to initial reports, DNS resolution difficulties were hindering proper traffic management, negatively impacting authentication and service endpoints. The reliance on these platforms for email, collaboration, and cloud computing services led to service unavailability issues. The outage affected numerous regions, sparking widespread complaints on social media and tech forums in North America, Europe, and Asia.

Interestingly, while major companies like Microsoft and Google are actively adding AI features to their browsers, the Tor development team has chosen to remove them. @henry, a Tor project contributor, pointed out that the team failed to fully verify the training process and the “black box” behavior of the AI models, so they decided to eliminate risks first . While some users may be willing to “accept Mozilla’s risks” for certain features, the Tor project explicitly prioritizes not integrating these features. Among the removed components are Mozilla’s AI-powered chat sidebar, introduced in March of this year, and the page summary link preview

Nvidia hasn’t developed its own quantum computer, but CEO Jensen Huang is betting the company will play a key role in the technology’s future. In his keynote address at Nvidia’s Global Technology Conference (GTC) in Washington, D.C. , on Tuesday, Huang announced NVQLink , an interconnect technology that connects quantum processors to the AI supercomputers they need to function effectively. He said: “NVQLink is the key to connecting quantum and classical supercomputers.” Quantum processors represent a completely new way of computing, using the principles of quantum physics to solve problems that current classical computers cannot solve. Their applications are vast, from scientific

The cybersecurity landscape was recently rocked by the discovery of a critical Remote Code Execution (RCE) vulnerability in Microsoft’s Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) . Identified as CVE-2025-59287 and with a CVSS score of 9.8 (Critical) , this flaw poses a high and immediate risk to organizations using WSUS for centralized update management. The vulnerability is particularly dangerous because it allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code with system privileges on the affected WSUS servers. After Microsoft released an emergency out-of-band patch on October 23, 2025, which was necessary because the initial October patch had not fully addressed the issue,

For the second time in recent months, Google has been forced to deny reports of a massive Gmail data breach . The news was sparked by reports of a “hack of 183 million accounts ” spreading online, despite there having been no actual breach or incident involving Google’s servers. As company representatives explained , this is not a new attack, but rather old login and password databases collected by attackers through infostealers and other attacks in recent years. “Reports of a ‘Gmail breach affecting millions of users’ are false. Gmail and its users are reliably protected,” Google representatives said. The company also

After nearly a year of negotiations with its longtime backer Microsoft, OpenAI has granted the latter a 27% stake . This move eliminates significant uncertainty for both companies and paves the way for the ChatGPT developer to become a for-profit venture. In a statement released Tuesday, both companies said that under the revised agreement, Microsoft will acquire approximately $135 billion in OpenAI stock . Additionally , Microsoft will have access to the artificial intelligence (AI) startup’s technology through 2032, including models that have already reached the benchmark for artificial general intelligence (AGI). OpenAI has spent much of this year pushing for restructuring,

The developers of password manager LastPass have warned users of a large-scale phishing campaign that began in mid-October 2025. Attackers are sending emails containing fake requests for emergency access to the password vault, related to the death of users. According to experts, the financially motivated hacker group CryptoChameleon (also known as UNC5356 ) is behind this campaign. The group specializes in cryptocurrency theft and previously attacked LastPass users in April 2024. The new campaign has proven to be extensive and technologically advanced: attackers are now hunting not only master passwords, but also passkeys. CryptoChameleon uses a specialized phishing kit that targets cryptocurrency
