What The Last Century Of Cybersecurity Can Teach Us About What Comes Next In The Age Of AI

Now, with the introduction of AI systems trained on years of real-world data, many of those tasks can be automated at scale—in most cases, with greater speed and consistency than a human working alone. The business impact is immediate and measurable.

To use AI effectively in frontline defense, it must do more than process data. It has to understand how your organization assesses risk and learn to make decisions that protect both security and business continuity. We’re seeing that this is especially valuable for clients with high customer activity, where security teams are flooded with alerts that demand fast, accurate decisions to maintain service levels.

Google sues to disrupt BadBox 2.0 botnet infecting 10 million devices

Google has filed a lawsuit against the anonymous operators of the Android BadBox 2.0 malware botnet, accusing them of running a global ad fraud scheme against the company’s advertising platforms.

The BadBox 2.0 malware botnet is a cybercrime operation that utilizes infected Android Open Source Project (AOSP) devices, including smart TVs, streaming boxes, and other connected devices that lack security protections, such as Google Play Protect.

These devices become infected either by threat actors purchasing low-cost AOSP devices, modifying the operating system to include the BadBox 2 malware, and then reselling them online, or by tricking users into downloading and installing malicious apps on their devices that contain the malware.
