Cybercrime Is Hiring: AI, IoT, and Cloud Experts Power the Next Wave of Attacks August 22, 2025
The dark web has its own job boards. Its own recruiters. Its own economy of skills. There, posts read like the listings on LinkedIn or Indeed, only the roles are not for project managers or analysts.

Patching for Persistence: DripDropper Malware Secures the Door It Broke Open August 21, 2025
It sounds counterintuitive. An adversary exploits a system, gains access, and then patches the very hole they used to break in.
