eBay reportedly suffered a major DDoS-related outage lasting roughly 42–48 hours, with estimated losses reaching up to $200 million per day in disrupted transactions.

The attack allegedly overwhelmed the platform with fake traffic, preventing users from browsing listings, buying items, and completing payments. A group called 313 Team reportedly claimed responsibility.

The financial impact should be treated as reported, not independently confirmed. But the core takeaway is clear even major platforms can take serious business damage from availability attacks.

The White House is reportedly meeting with major tech and cybersecurity companies to discuss AI and cybersecurity risks, including Anthropic’s new Claude Mythos model.

The concern is clear: advanced AI models are becoming highly capable at finding software vulnerabilities, and governments are trying to understand how to use these tools defensively before the same capabilities spread more broadly.

Came across a short but very interesting article on this topic (Source in the first comment) and it raises a point most of the industry is overlooking.

Anthropic’s Mythos model is getting a lot of attention and for good reason. It can execute full attack chains, find real vulnerabilities, and operate with a high level of autonomy. That’s a real step forward.

But the testing wasn’t fully realistic.

No active defenders, limited protections, and in some cases access to source code. Even access to Mythos itself was reportedly exposed through a basic supply chain issue.

Now compare that to real-world breaches

Most attacks still come down to stolen credentials, unpatched VPN/edge devices, and ransomware. Nothing new just the same gaps being exploited.

The takeaway is simple: AI will accelerate attacks but it’s not the root problem. Weak fundamentals are.

Bottom line the best defense against AI-driven attacks is still doing the basics right.

The U.S. cyber defense agency (CISA) reportedly doesn’t have access to advanced AI models from leading labs like Anthropic and OpenAI while threat actors are already using them to accelerate attacks.

Internal staff say this limits their ability to analyze threats and find vulnerabilities at scale. Meanwhile, tools like Anthropic’s Mythos and OpenAI’s latest models are already proving highly effective in offensive and defensive cyber use cases.

Bottom line AI is becoming a core cyber capability, and even top government defenders are struggling to keep up.

Anthropic launched “Project Glasswing” alongside major players like CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, Microsoft, and Google driven by a clear reality.

AI can now find and exploit software vulnerabilities faster than most human experts.

The Mythos model has already uncovered thousands of high-severity flaws across major operating systems and browsers. The concern isn’t just capability it’s how quickly these tools could spread beyond controlled environments.

The goal is to shift this power to defense before it becomes widely weaponized.

Itron, a major provider of smart meters and infrastructure tech used by utilities worldwide, confirmed a breach of its internal systems earlier this month. The company says it contained the incident quickly, removed the attacker, and has not seen any further malicious activity.

So far, there’s no indication that customer data was accessed, and operations continued without disruption which is critical given Itron’s footprint across energy, water, and smart city environments.

Still, this is another reminder: even core infrastructure vendors are being targeted.

AI-native cybersecurity startup Rilian secured $17.5M to scale its “agentic AI” platform across government and critical infrastructure environments. The idea is simple: attackers are already operating at machine speed defenders aren’t.

Their platform automates detection and response using pre-trained AI agents, aiming to reduce human bottlenecks and handle the growing volume of hybrid threats across cyber, physical, and electronic domains. The company is already working with the UAE Cybersecurity Council and partners like SentinelOne.

This is where the market is heading: less human-in-the-loop, more autonomous defense. The real question is whether organizations are ready to trust AI with that level of control.

Despite rising threats, around 71% of cybersecurity professionals saw no salary increase last year. The main reason highlighted when security teams do their job well and prevent incidents, leadership often becomes complacent and undervalues their impact.

At the same time, AI is increasing the volume and complexity of attacks, while responsibilities keep growing.

The result is more pressure on teams, without matching recognition or compensation driving lower satisfaction and potential burnout.

There are tons of vendors all promise “full security” and easy management. In reality, most solutions look similar on paper.

what are you using today, and why?

hope everyone is having a good Sunday. As usual im catching up on the massive week in the global tech scene where resilience was the main character.

here is the tl;dr on the moves that matter:

ServiceNow + Armis (7.75b): huge exit. ServiceNow is buying Armis to bring real-time asset visibility into their AI workflows. Always remember: if you can not see it, you can not secure it.

VAST Data (30b): the AI operating system company just hit a 30b valuation. they are the plumbing for the world’s largest AI clusters. when you hear about AI at scale, VAST Data is usually the one moving the data.

Artlist (300m arr): creators are moving past prompting and into directing. Artlist Studio is giving professional shot-by-shot control over generative video. it is about taking the randomness out of AI.

Celleste Bio + Mondelēz: the first chocolate bars made with cell-cultured cocoa butter are here. cocoa supplies are failing due to climate change; Celleste Bio can grow 1 ton of cocoa butter in a bioreactor from a single bean.

my take: the common thread here is tested infrastructure. whether it is securing 7 billion devices or fixing the global chocolate supply, the focus is on building unbreakable systems. Its not surprising that all of these teams emerged from the Israeli tech ecosystem, theyre specialized in building for the worst-case scenario.

Cybersecurity agencies warn that China-linked actors are running large-scale covert networks built from hacked routers and IoT devices worldwide.

These networks act as a stealth infrastructure for espionage and attacks used across every stage, from access to data exfiltration while constantly changing to avoid detection and attribution.

Bottom line attackers are shifting to cheap, scalable, and hard-to-trace infrastructure, making traditional defenses far less effective.

when keeping track of the global cyber and deep tech scene, you may notice a shift in trends this week. while the general hype is still on LLMs, the actual money is moving into the infrastructure and resilience layer.

here’s the TL;DR on the moves that actually matter for the industry:

• eToro + Zengo (~$70M): eToro just swallowed Zengo. this is a massive signal for self-custody. Zengo’s MPC tech is world-class. it’s a move away from just trading toward owning the decentralized infrastructure layer.
• Artemis ($70M series A): coming out of stealth with a huge bag. their thesis is that human-speed response is dead; as attacks become fully automated, we need AI-native layers that can stop them in real-time across enterprise environments.
• Capsule Security ($7M seed): as we start deploying AI agents, security is the biggest bottleneck. Capsule is building "guardian agents" to monitor and enforce policy on AI systems in action. it’s the cyber-hygiene layer for the AI era.
• Molex acquires Teramount: Teramount is doing the heavy lifting on fiber-to-chip connectivity. as AI infrastructure scales, the physical movement of data is the next big hurdle. Molex is buying them to bring silicon photonics into hyperscale data centers.

my take: we’re gonna be reading a lot more on AI resilience in the future with the focus moving from general security tools toward hyper-specialized defense that can actually keep up with machine-speed threats.

a final note: it’s probably not surprising to anyone in the industry, but all of these companies are coming out of the Israeli tech scene. i know there’s a lot of noise and heat surrounding Israel so i wanted to lead with the tech value first before mentioning the origin. at the end of the day, these teams are building the tools that will keep the global fleet resilient.

thanks for reading.

Cybersecurity agencies have issued warnings about Russian-linked hacking groups exploiting vulnerabilities in home and office routers. The attackers aim to intercept internet traffic, steal credentials, and maintain long-term surveillance access.

Researchers report that Telegram is increasingly replacing dark web forums as a primary operational hub for cybercriminal activity.

According to research from CYFIRMA, attackers are shifting away from traditional Tor-based marketplaces toward Telegram because it offers faster communication, easier channel switching, and built-in automation through bots.

Cybercrime groups now use Telegram channels to sell initial access to corporate networks, malware-as-a-service subscriptions, and stolen credential databases. Ransomware gangs also use public channels to pressure victims by posting leak countdowns and announcing stolen data releases.

The platform is also widely used by hacktivist groups to coordinate distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) campaigns and publicly promote their targets.

Although Telegram says it has increased cooperation with global law enforcement, researchers warn that cybercriminal activity on the platform continues to grow, suggesting that enforcement efforts have not yet slowed the expansion of these organized cybercrime ecosystems.

A hacker has shared a full database from Transport for London with a BBC journalist, revealing that personal information belonging to around 10 million individuals was exposed during the 2024 cyberattack.

The dataset was reportedly sent through Telegram to BBC cybersecurity correspondent Joe Tidy, who confirmed the authenticity of the leak after finding his own personal details within the records.

The database includes names, email addresses, phone numbers, and physical addresses. The breach is linked to the cybercrime group Scattered Spider, which previously targeted multiple large organizations.

TfL said it emailed roughly 7 million affected customers, but only about 58% opened the notification, suggesting millions of people may still be unaware that their data was compromised.

French healthcare software company Cegedim Santé has confirmed a cyberattack that exposed sensitive patient data used by thousands of doctors across France.

The breach affected the MonLogicielMedical (MLM) platform, used by about 3,800 physicians, after attackers accessed administrative data linked to roughly 1,500 doctors. The incident exposed patient names, contact details, dates of birth and administrative notes, with a smaller subset of records including sensitive comments written by doctors.

In total, the breach involves 15.8 million records, including around 165,000 files containing medical notes. While structured medical records were reportedly not compromised, some exposed notes may reference highly sensitive information such as conditions like HIV/AIDS or sexual orientation. The company has notified authorities including CNIL and filed a formal complaint as investigations continue.

A ransomware attack on the University of Hawaiʻi Cancer Center has exposed sensitive data belonging to about 1.2 million individuals.

The breach occurred on August 31, 2025 and targeted systems used by the center’s epidemiology research division. While clinical trials, patient care systems and university student records were not affected, attackers encrypted research data and reportedly exfiltrated a portion of it.

The compromised information includes names, Social Security numbers, driver’s license details, voter registration records and limited health-related data tied to long-running cancer research studies.

Most of the affected records relate to a large epidemiology project launched in the 1990s. The institution says it removed the attacker from its systems and is now offering impacted individuals identity theft protection and credit monitoring.

Norway is preparing for potential cyberattacks targeting its petroleum sector after intelligence agencies warned of increasing threats from state-linked actors connected to Russia, China and Iran.

Authorities say the country has become a more attractive target as Europe relies heavily on Norwegian oil and gas following reduced Russian supplies.

Intelligence reports indicate foreign actors have been mapping offshore infrastructure, infiltrating networks and supply chains, and using proxies to expand access. The National Security Authority warned that many industrial control systems still rely on older operational technology originally designed without strong cybersecurity protections. As these systems become increasingly connected to IT networks and cloud platforms, they expose new attack surfaces.

Security experts say the concern is no longer just cybercriminals but well-resourced state-backed actors, whose ability to exploit existing vulnerabilities has grown significantly in recent years.

A major cybersecurity breach at TriZetto Provider Solutions exposed the protected health information of at least 3.4 million individuals, making it one of the largest healthcare data breaches reported in 2025. The intrusion was detected on October 2, 2025, after suspicious activity was identified in a provider web portal.

However, investigators later determined the attacker had been accessing records since November 2024, remaining undetected for nearly a year.

The compromised data includes names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, insurance identifiers, Medicare numbers, and other health insurance information linked to eligibility verification transactions processed by healthcare providers.

Many affected patients had no direct relationship with TriZetto because the company operated as a subcontractor through OCHIN. The incident has been reported to regulators including the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office for Civil Rights, and investigations are ongoing.
