In this Help Net Security interview, Carl Scaffidi, CISO at VyStar Credit Union, discusses how credit unions are adapting to an evolving fraud landscape and strengthening payment security. As cybercriminals leverage social engineering and AI-driven tac… Continue reading Early reporting helps credit unions stop fraudulent transfers faster
Proximity is a new open-source tool that scans Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. It identifies the prompts, tools, and resources that a server makes available, and it can evaluate how those elements might introduce security risks. The tool also wor… Continue reading Proximity: Open-source MCP security scanner
In this Help Net Security interview, Patty Ryan, Senior Director and CISO at QuidelOrtho, discusses how the long lifecycles of medical devices impact cybersecurity in healthcare environments. She explains how organizations can protect legacy systems, c… Continue reading Managing legacy medical devices that can no longer be patched
The Wireless Cookbook is a project-centered guide to working with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and LoRa, written with the Raspberry Pi as the main platform. It is aimed at people who learn through building, experimenting, and breaking things to understand how the… Continue reading Review: The Wireless Cookbook
Biometric authentication has moved from fingerprints to voices to facial scans, but a team of researchers believes the next step could be inside the ear. New research explores how the ear canal’s unique acoustic properties can be used to verify identit… Continue reading Can your earbuds recognize you? Researchers are working on it
Security teams spend much of their day pulling data from reports, forums, and feeds, trying to connect clues across multiple sources. Google says that work can now happen through a simple conversation. A new way to interact with threat data Google has … Continue reading Google introduces agentic threat intelligence for faster, conversational threat analysis
In this Help Net Security interview, Ken Deitz, CISO at Brown & Brown, discusses how the definition of cyber risk has expanded beyond IT to include IoT, OT, and broader supply chain ecosystems. As organizations connect these assets through cloud a… Continue reading When everything’s connected, everything’s at risk
Most research on LLM privacy has focused on the wrong problem, according to a new paper by researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and Northeastern University. The authors argue that while most technical studies target data memorization, the bigges… Continue reading Most AI privacy research looks the wrong way
Spam has long been a nuisance in blockchain networks, clogging transaction queues and driving up fees. A new research paper from Delft University of Technology introduces a decentralized solution called STARVESPAM that could help nodes in permissionles… Continue reading A new approach to blockchain spam: Local reputation over global rules
Researchers have revealed a new security blind spot in how LLM applications connect to external systems. Their study shows that malicious Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers can quietly take control of hosts, manipulate LLM behavior, and deceive users… Continue reading When trusted AI connections turn hostile
