Attackers are not breaking in. They are logging in. Stolen credentials are now the most reliable entry point for enterprise breaches. Most defenses are built to stop an attacker trying to force their way through. The attacker who already has a valid username and password walks straight past them.

A new report from CyberCube just confirmed what many of us in cybersecurity have long suspected: Scattered Spider is targeting hundreds of major enterprises with precision. Nearly 300 companies—each with over $500 million in annual revenue—have been flagged as high-risk. Why? Because they’re still running the same legacy technologies this threat group exploits with shocking ease.

If your organization still relies on passwords, SMS codes, or authenticator apps to protect employee logins, it’s not a matter of if you’ll be breached—it’s when.

Passkeys are a genuine step forward from passwords. They use cryptographic key pairs instead of credentials you type and remember. The private key never leaves your device. The site you are logging into never sees it. There is nothing to phish, nothing to guess and nothing to leak in a breach. That matters. Most data breaches start with stolen or weak credentials. Passkeys remove that attack surface. But passkeys are not a complete solution for enterprise security. Several specific scenarios leave organizations exposed. This guide explains how passkeys work, where they are genuinely strong and where the gaps are.

Token Would Have Stopped This Cold. Another week, another breach. This time it’s Ingram Micro, one of the largest tech distributors on the planet. Systems down for days. Operations halted. Now they’re staring down a ransomware demand, possibly for millions.

Amazon just sent out a warning about phishing emails targeting Prime members—scammers spoofing login pages and tricking users into handing over their credentials. Sound familiar?

Last week, Qantas joined a growing list of high-profile companies breached by Scattered Spider, a sophisticated threat group known for exploiting human error and weak authentication systems—not by hacking through firewalls, but by walking right through the front door.

When Hawaiian Airlines confirmed a recent cyberattack that disrupted its internal systems, it wasn’t just another headline—it was another red flag.

The Aflac breach last week wasn’t pulled off by elite hackers—it was enabled by the same outdated multi-factor authentication (MFA) most enterprises rely on today.

With the rise of AI-generated deepfakes, which are becoming more convincing and widespread in video conferencing, companies are finding it increasingly difficult to ensure they know who they’re actually talking to during online meetings. We’re seeing the damage cybercriminals can cause when they steal credentials using social engineering, only to then bypass outdated MFA systems to access critical data or deploy ransomware. These older MFA systems just aren’t cutting it anymore, leaving companies vulnerable in ways that are making the news almost daily.
