In the latest Verizon "Data Breach Investigations Report," denial-of-service attacks are the most common type of security incident, but when it comes to breaches, nearly four-in-ten attackers compromise systems.

Progress has issued a second patch for additional SQL flaws that are distinct from the zero-day that Cl0p ransomware gang is exploiting.

The Texas city's networks have returned to 90% functionality following the May 3 Royal ransomware attack.

Threat actors are lifting public images and videos from the Internet, altering them, and posting them online in a new wave of sextortion campaigns.

In addition to injecting a card skimmer into target Magento, WooCommerce, Shopify, and WordPress sites, the threat actor is also hijacking targeted domains to deliver the malware to other sites.

Some billion-dollar organizations have already been identified as victims of the prolific ransomware group's latest exploit, amidst ongoing attacks.

With the leak of information such as Social Security numbers, in addition to other protected information, 600,000 of the nearly 2.5 million affected are at risk for identity theft.
