In a serious cybersecurity alert issued on March 21, 2026, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) warned about an ongoing phishing campaign targeting users of popular messaging applications like Signal and WhatsApp. The campaign is believed to be linked to threat actors associated with Russian intelligence services and has already resulted in the compromise of thousands of accounts worldwide. Unlike traditional cyberattacks that exploit software vulnerabilities, this campaign relies entirely on social engineering techniques. Instead of breaking encryption or hacking the platform itself, attackers manipulate users into giving away access to their…
Apple has issued an urgent security warning to iPhone users worldwide, advising them to update their devices immediately after the discovery of advanced hacking tools targeting older iOS versions.

AI voice scams, also known as deepfake voice fraud, have become one of the fastest-growing cyber threats in 2026. With the help of artificial intelligence, attackers can now replicate a person’s voice with surprising accuracy and use it to manipulate victims into transferring money or revealing sensitive information.

Cases are being reported globally, including India, the United States, and Europe, where individuals, employees, and even business owners have been targeted…

Cybersecurity today is not only about protecting networks and devices. Most modern attacks target web applications — websites, APIs, cloud platforms, and online services used daily by businesses and governments. Because web applications handle sensitive data such as user accounts, financial information, health records, and government services, they have become a major target for attackers. To help organizations understand and prevent the most common web security risks, the cybersecurity community widely relies on OWASP Top 10. This list is considered one of the most important security standards in the world. It is used by security professionals, companies, and government projects…
