weaponizing Velociraptor: Exclusive Dangerous Alert

Attackers tied to Storm‑2603 are turning the trusted DFIR tool Velociraptor into a stealthy foothold for Warlock and LockBit ransomware, using its legit capabilities to map networks, harvest credentials and evade detection. That shift means defenders must double down on zero‑trust controls, behavioral telemetry and tighter agent governance — without breaking the very tools they rely on.

EU Cybersecurity Reserve Must-Have: Best Defense

ENISA’s new €36M EU Cybersecurity Reserve turns a long‑talked idea into a real, deployable digital fire brigade — pooling expert teams, forensic tools and logistics to help member states and critical infrastructure bounce back faster from cross‑border cyberattacks. If Europe pairs this funding with clear rules, joint exercises and legal certainty, the Reserve could become a reliable, lifesaving safety net rather than just another well‑intentioned plan.
