A new business-impact study from data security firm Cohesity is putting a hard number on something most executives have only felt anecdotally: a serious cyberattack now costs a company roughly 15% of its annual revenue, according to CEOs surveyed for the research. The findings, detailed in a September 3, 2026 report from Insurance Edge titled…
A China-linked hacking crew tracked as Storm-1175 has walked away from Medusa, the ransomware-as-a-service strain it rode for years, and started deploying a new, privately built encryptor called StormEncryptor. The switch surfaced on August 2, 2026, the same day a critical authentication-bypass flaw in N-able’s N-central remote monitoring and management console, tracked as CVE-2026-18577, went…

Dataminers grabbed the footage within hours, and by the time Valve pulled…
Officially, Nvidia’s controversial DLSS 5 AI rendering was supposed to launch this evening with only a single game, only on Nvidia’s latest RTX 50 GPUs, and with developers in full control of their artistic vision. But unofficially, modders have already ported a leaked version of DLSS 5 to run on just about anything while cranking…
Two of the three major console makers spent the summer quietly rewriting who gets to play what, and how. Microsoft started forcing Australian Xbox owners to prove their age before buying or downloading anything rated 18+, with a hard compliance deadline of September 9, 2026. Sony has spent the months since April telling PlayStation owners…
SonicWall customers have confronted a barrage of attacks for years, including five actively exploited vulnerabilities in SMA 1000 appliances since late 2025. The post Attackers exploit zero-days in consistently besieged SonicWall product appeared first on CyberScoop.
Anthropic used the first days of September 2026 to push out three things at once: Claude Fable 5.1, Claude Mythos 5.1, and a new security architecture called Enterprise Frontier Safeguards (EFS).
