The week’s cyber threats, in headlines.
Free, weekly, three minutes. It lands every Tuesday at 07:00 UK time.
What’s in it
Every item is a headline and a line or two, with one link to the full story or the primary source. Nothing runs longer than it needs to. A typical issue covers:
- Top story: the one thing you should know about this week.
- Patch now: the fixes that matter, and what to do about them.
- Threat headlines: campaigns, advisories and incidents worth knowing about.
- AI security: attacks that use AI, and attacks on AI systems.
- Hunt of the week: a ready-made query from Hunt Lab.
- Regulation clock: deadlines, consultations and end-of-life dates, in date order.
- On the horizon, reviews and events: when there is something worth saying.
If a section has nothing worth reporting that week, we leave it out rather than fill it.
