Slopsquatting is an emerging cybersecurity risk created by an unusual combination of AI hallucinations and software package ecosystems. Developers increasingly ask AI coding assistants to suggest libraries, frameworks and dependencies. Sometimes the assistant recommends a package that does not actually exist. An attacker can register that invented name, publish a malicious package
RAG poisoning is becoming a cybersecurity concern today as businesses connect AI systems to documents, knowledge bases and search tools. Retrieval-augmented generation, usually called RAG, helps an AI answer questions using information supplied by an organization. Instead of relying only on what the model learned during training, the system can search company content and use it while creating
OT cybersecurity is becoming a bigger concern as factories, energy systems, water facilities and other critical services rely on connected technology. Operational technology, or OT, includes systems that control machines, industrial processes and equipment. That makes an OT cyberattack different from an ordinary data breach. If an industrial control system is disrupted, production can stop, services can fail and safety may become
