This isn’t new, but as a reminder, AI isn’t only helping businesses move faster. It’s also helping hackers ⚠️

New research has revealed that cyber criminals are weaponising AI to launch more aggressive attacks, in less time, and with less effort.

In fact, even hackers with limited skills can n

Cyber criminals are already using AI to create new types of malware. But now Microsoft is fighting back with AI of its own 💪

It’s revealed a prototype called Project Ire, an AI tool designed to spot malware at first sight… even if it’s never seen the file before 😮

That’s a big deal, because mo

Ever wondered what Windows will look like by the time 2030 rolls around? 🤔

Microsoft recently shared a glimpse of that future, and (unsurprisingly) it’s all about AI and new ways of working with our computers.

We all know about phishing emails. But have you heard of vishing? 📞

I bring a bit of good news: People are getting better at spotting malware 🥳

It’s a normal workday, you’ve got a list of things to do, and suddenly your main PC goes down 🆘

Maybe it’s been hit by ransomware.

Maybe the hard drive has failed.

Maybe it’s got some water in it.

Whatever the reason, you’re locked out. Work stops. Deadlines slip. Clients get frustrated…

Here’s a scary thought: What if the security software you rely on to protect your business could be switched off by cyber criminals before it even has a chance to defend you? 😳

When you hear “dark web,” you probably picture some mysterious corner of the internet that only hackers know about. A hidden world you’ll never come across.
