Security researchers uncovered a Pakistani cyberespionage group employing fresh tactics to target workers at India's Defense Research and Development Organization and steal sensitive military secrets. A new campaign uses a PowerPoint file containing information about the India-developed K-4 missile.
When you think of using biometric technology as part of your multi-factor authentication process, you assume these attributes are safe. Cybercriminals can’t hack your fingerprints, can they? The answer may surprise you!

A cyberespionage campaign using Trojanized apps implanted with a backdoor to exfiltrate sensitive data is making the rounds in India and Pakistan. Researchers at cybersecurity firm Eset identify the threat actor as Transparent Tribe, a group aligned with the Pakistani government.
A Russian threat actor headed by two prank callers whose targets for duplicity coincide with Kremlin state interests has for a year now leaned heavily into using email to schedule video calls with high-profile North American and European officials and executives.
