On November 6, 2025, Troy Hunt's Have I Been Pwned reported the largest credential dataset ever indexed: 1.95 billion unique email addresses and 1.3 billion unique passwords aggregated from credential-stuffing lists discovered across malicious internet sources.The data itself isn't new breaches. Instead, it's a collection of email and password pairs from previous data breaches, aggregated by threat intelligence firm Synthient and shared with HIBP to notify victims.

The demand for cybersecurity professionals is at an all-time high, yet there is a massive talent shortage. According to a 2024 report by (ISC)², the cybersecurity workforce gap stands at over 3.5 million unfilled positions globally. Organizations struggle to find skilled professionals to defend against evolving threats, leaving critical infrastructure vulnerable.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming cybersecurity—but not just for defenders. Cybercriminals are leveraging AI to automate attacks, refine phishing tactics, and bypass traditional security measures. As AI-generated threats become more sophisticated, organizations must evolve their defences to stay ahead.

Securing privileged accounts has become a top priority for organizations. Privileged accounts, which allow higher-level access to critical systems and data, are prime targets for cyberattacks. If compromised, these accounts can give attackers unrestricted access to sensitive information, potentially leading to catastrophic security breaches. This is where Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions come in, helping organizations secure and manage privileged accounts, monitor access, and mitigate risks.

Information exchange is critical to almost every business operation. From emails and file sharing to contract negotiations and customer communication, the volume of data transmitted daily is staggering. However, as data transfer increases, so do cyber threats. Many companies rely on email for daily communication, but email systems were not designed with security in mind, leaving critical vulnerabilities. This is where secure file transfer and email encryption solutions like Cryptshare become invaluable. Cryptshare provides an encrypted, simple-to-use method to exchange sensitive files and information securely, bridging a crucial gap in business data protection.

Ransomware attacks have become one of the most pervasive and damaging forms of cybercrime in recent years. These attacks can cripple organizations by encrypting critical data and demanding a ransom for its release. To effectively combat ransomware, organizations must implement comprehensive strategies and advanced technologies that not only prevent attacks but also detect and respond to them swiftly. This blog post delves into enhanced strategies and technologies for ransomware defense, including backup strategies and decryption tools.

As 5G technology rapidly advances and becomes integral to modern communications, the security challenges it introduces cannot be overlooked. Here are four main points highlighting the critical security issues in 5G networks, along with solutions to address these challenges, featuring Energylog Server and Fudo Security.

In Africa, the rapid adoption of digital technologies has brought about significant economic and social benefits. However, it has also exposed the continent to various cybersecurity threats. Public-private partnerships (PPPs) have emerged as a vital strategy for enhancing cybersecurity across Africa. This blog post explores the importance of PPPs, highlights successful examples, and discusses how these collaborations can strengthen cybersecurity resilience.
