Google has begun introducing a unified naming system for cyber threat actors, replacing overlapping labels used by its security teams with two-word cryptonyms designed to give defenders clearer context about attackers and their likely objectives. The Google Threat Intelligence Group, known as GTIG, said the taxonomy would standardise threat tracking across its platforms and public reporting. The change follows the integration of Mandiant and Google’s Threat Analysis […]

Houthi forces launched missiles and drones at Saudi oil facilities on the Red Sea coast as the United States halted its bombing of Iran after 13 consecutive nights, opening a narrow diplomatic pause while the regional conflict spread towards a second vital shipping corridor. The Yemen-based group said Saturday’s coordinated operation targeted Saudi Aramco installations in Jizan, close to the Yemeni border, and Yanbu, the kingdom’s principal […]

Arabian Post Staff -Dubai President Donald Trump halted planned US strikes on Iran on Friday after 13 consecutive nights of attacks, opening a narrow diplomatic window as Oman pressed talks over shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. The order marked the first night without a new American bombing operation in almost two weeks, but it did not amount to a ceasefire. US forces remained deployed across the […]

Nearly 200 US startups have urged the Trump administration to reject sweeping restrictions on Chinese open-weight artificial intelligence models, warning that a broad ban would raise costs, weaken competition and threaten companies built around affordable access to advanced technology. The coordinated appeal was organised by the newly formed Little Tech Association and sent to President Donald Trump and senior administration officials, including Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and […]

Ransomware attacks on universities rose during the first half of 2026 as a fast-expanding cybercrime operation called The Gentlemen intensified its focus on higher education institutions across several continents. Higher education attacks increased by more than 8% compared with the second half of 2025, even as ransomware incidents across the broader education sector fell by 13%. Researchers recorded 104 attacks on schools, colleges and universities worldwide between […]

Cyber attackers have compromised hotel and conference-centre Wi-Fi gateways to redirect business travellers towards fake Microsoft authentication pages, creating a scalable route for stealing corporate credentials and cloud-access tokens. The campaign has affected hospitality networks across several US cities, as well as locations in India and Saudi Arabia. Activity has been detected since at least June 2026, with visitors from financial services, law, healthcare, energy, retail and […]

Google has launched a selfie video sign-in option that allows eligible users to regain access to locked accounts by matching a live facial recording with one stored earlier. The feature is designed for situations where people have forgotten passwords, lost a device or cannot use their usual two-factor authentication method. It adds facial verification to Google’s existing recovery choices, which include registered telephone numbers, recovery email addresses, […]

Arabian Post Staff -Dubai Bahrain and Kuwait carried out covert airstrikes against military facilities inside Iran in early July, marking their first known direct offensive action against Tehran during the widening regional war. The operation targeted storage sites holding missiles and attack drones, along with other military installations linked to Iran’s capacity to strike Gulf countries. The United Arab Emirates supplied intelligence on potential targets and provided […]

Hackers have hijacked GitHub Actions workflows across compromised repositories to create a distributed attack network targeting cPanel and WebHost Manager servers, exposing credentials, databases and cloud accounts. The campaign uses GitHub-hosted computing systems as disposable machines for scanning the internet, exploiting vulnerable hosting platforms and transmitting stolen information to attacker-controlled infrastructure. Security researchers linked the activity to malicious workflow files planted in thousands of repositories. The investigation […]

Hackers are using a legitimate copy of Notepad++ and a disguised plugin to install malware on Windows computers, allowing malicious code to run through the text editor’s normal extension-loading process. The campaign has been linked to UAC-0099, a threat cluster known for targeting government bodies, defence organisations and strategically important enterprises in Ukraine. The revised infection chain, detected from mid-July, deploys two newly identified tools called LUNCHPOKE […]

Iran-linked cyber actors are targeting internet-connected industrial control systems used across US water, energy, manufacturing and public-service networks, prompting an expanded federal warning covering equipment made by Siemens, Schneider Electric and Rockwell Automation. The updated alert says attackers have gained access to programmable logic controllers, or PLCs, which manage physical processes inside critical infrastructure. Intruders have downloaded malicious project files, altered control logic and manipulated information shown […]

President Donald Trump is considering a major expansion of United States attacks on Iran, warning that Tehran has not suffered enough pressure to accept a peace agreement as escalating hostilities drive oil prices above $100 a barrel. Trump said he was close to deciding whether to authorise an assault that would be larger than previous operations against Iran. He described the potential action as a “massive attack” […]

Two China-linked supertankers carrying about four million barrels of Saudi crude have exited the Red Sea through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, defying threats against vessels connected to the kingdom’s oil trade. The Xin Long Yang and Cosnew Lake completed the passage on Thursday after sailing south along Yemen’s coast. Their movement provided an important test of whether Saudi Arabia can continue using its Red Sea export route […]

Hackers exploited Wanchain’s bridge connecting Cardano and BNB Chain, draining about 515 million NIGHT tokens valued at roughly $9 million and forcing the affected cross-chain route to suspend operations. The attack targeted infrastructure operated by Wanchain rather than the Cardano or Midnight blockchains. Midnight Foundation said its network, validators and consensus system remained secure, seeking to contain concern that the breach had compromised the underlying privacy-focused protocol. […]

Three cryptocurrency protocols linked to Bitcoin and Ethereum lost more than $35 million in a series of attacks within about six hours, exposing persistent weaknesses in cross-chain bridges, administrative controls and contract validation systems. The largest loss was recorded by AFX Trade, a perpetual futures platform operating through an independently managed bridge on Arbitrum. Attackers removed about $24.15 million in USDC before transferring the assets from Arbitrum […]

Arabian Post Staff -Dubai Abu Dhabi Islamic Bank has become the first bank worldwide to deploy Visa’s Threat Intelligence Platform, integrating cyber and payments intelligence into its fraud-prevention operations. The early adoption gives ADIB’s cybersecurity, fraud and risk teams real-time information on threats that could lead to stolen credentials, compromised accounts and fraudulent transactions. The bank is also working with Visa to design the platform’s first use […]

Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has claimed that cruise missiles struck Amazon Web Services infrastructure in Bahrain, describing the facility as a key component of United States-linked digital operations in the Gulf. The scale and timing of any new damage have not been independently verified. The IRGC said the attack destroyed what it called Amazon’s central data hub in Bahrain. Its statement presented the operation as retaliation […]

A Saudi-owned oil products tanker was struck in the Red Sea, triggering a fire at its bow and raising fresh concerns over the security of energy shipments along one of the world’s most important maritime corridors. All crew members aboard the Encelia were safe after the attack, the Transport General Authority said on Thursday. Emergency measures were taken to secure the vessel, contain the fire and prevent […]

Arabian Post Staff -Dubai US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Washington remained willing to negotiate an end to the Iran conflict, but accused Tehran of showing no serious commitment to diplomacy as attacks and threats disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb. Speaking during a visit to Manila on Wednesday, Rubio said the United States was prepared to pursue a negotiated settlement if […]

Arabian Post Staff -Dubai Goldman Sachs has retained its forecast for Brent crude to average $80 a barrel in the fourth quarter of 2026, arguing that constrained Middle East supply should support prices if hostilities between the United States and Iran ease before the end of the year. The investment bank’s baseline projection assumes that geopolitical tensions will gradually subside and oil shipments through the Strait of […]

Google has released CodeMender in public preview as a managed artificial intelligence security agent designed to find, verify and repair software vulnerabilities while keeping developers in control of final code changes.

Matein Khalid The revival of the US-Israel-Iran war is set to intensify the concatenation of economic, energy and geopolitical shocks facing neighbouring Iraq. Before the February 28 onset of the conflict, Iraq was Opec’s second-largest oil producer, with estimated output of 4.3-4.5 million barrels per day. By June, national production had fallen to a paltry 817,000 bpd, comparable to that of minor producers such as Azerbaijan or Oman. This is an […]

Yemen’s Houthi movement has positioned missiles and drones near the Bab el-Mandeb strait and is prepared to resume attacks on commercial shipping, raising the risk of disruption across one of the world’s most important trade corridors. Maritime security monitors have raised their assessment of the threat after the group declared a blockade targeting vessels connected to Saudi Arabia. Ships calling at Saudi ports have been warned that […]

Employees’ growing use of unauthorised artificial intelligence tools is making it harder for companies to calculate returns on technology spending while exposing confidential information to systems outside corporate control. Businesses that invested heavily in generative AI are now confronting a widening gap between formal deployment plans and how staff use the technology. Workers are often turning to free consumer platforms or personal accounts because approved systems are […]
