With August coming to a close, it's time for ESET Chief Security Evangelist Tony Anscombe (https://www.welivesecurity.com/en/our-experts/tony-anscombe/) to look back at some of the top cybersecurity stories that have made the news over the past month. Here's some of what caught Tony's attention: • OpenAI has disclosed (https://blackhat.com/us-26/briefings/schedule/index.html#the-breaking-news--the-openaihugging-face-incident---a-technical-reconstruction-and-its-implications-for-ai-57401) more details about how its agents hacked (https://www.welivesecurity.com/en/business-security/black-hat-usa-2026-hugging-face-hack-human-responsibility/) AI collaboration platform Hugging Face. What exactly went wrong and what are the key lessons from the incident? • Iran-linked hackers are believed to have attacked water and wastewater systems (https://www.darkreading.com/ics-ot-security/multistate-water-system-attacks-widen-iran-suspected) in at least 12 US states and even shut down a power plant in the UK for four days in July 2026 in a string of incidents that highlight risks facing critical infrastructure systems. • Delta Airlines is investigating an incident (https://cyberscoop.com/delta-flight-rogue-wifi-investigation-def-con-las-vegas/) where a flight passenger reportedly used an unidentified device to spoof the airline’s in-flight Wi-Fi network. • Ukrainian authorities have shut down 94 fraudulent (https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/ukraine-shuts-down-94-fraudulent-call-centers-seize-millions-in-cash/) call centers in a large-scale crackdown targeting the operators behind scams that lured people into bogus investment schemes and attempted to steal access details into their bank accounts. What are the lessons that businesses and critical infrastructure services should take away from these news stories? Watch the video to get answers to this and other questions, and be sure to also check out the July 2026 edition (https://www.welivesecurity.com/en/videos/month-security-tony-anscombe-july-2026/) of Tony's monthly security news roundup for more insights.

Agentic AI has moved beyond theory. The challenge now is securing it. From keynote stages to hallway conversations, one topic dominated Black Hat USA 2026: how organizations can safely adopt autonomous AI systems. 🎥 In his latest Black Hat takeaway, our Chief Security Evangelist Tony Anscombe explains why AI agents need the same oversight we would give any new employee, including restricted access, continuous monitoring, and clearly defined boundaries. The technology is advancing fast. Security practices need to keep pace. #ESET #BlackHat2026 #Cybersecurity #AI

AI is changing cybersecurity, but it isn't changing the fundamentals. Across conversations, presentations, and expert discussions at the ESET booth, a clear theme emerged: while AI is accelerating both attack and defense capabilities, organizations still need a layered security strategy. Key takeaways from the event: ✅ AI considerably expands the attack surface. ✅ Threat actors continue to pursue high-value targets and sensitive data. ✅ Attack timelines have compressed from weeks to hours, or even minutes. ✅ Effective detection, response, and containment are more critical than ever. Thank you to everyone who stopped by the ESET booth and joined the conversation. #ESET #BlackHat2026 #CyberSecurity #AI

With July coming to a close, ESET Chief Security Evangelist Tony Anscombe (https://www.welivesecurity.com/en/our-experts/tony-anscombe/) looks back at some of the top cybersecurity stories that made the news over the past month and offers insights that they may hold for your own cyber-defenses. Here's some of what caught Tony's attention this month: • OpenAI models went rogue (https://www.darkreading.com/cyber-risk/openai-models-autonomously-hack-hugging-face) and autonomously broke into AI collaboration platform Hugging Face in what OpenAI described as "an unprecedented cyber incident", • Researchers at Sysdig (https://www.sysdig.com/blog/jadepuffer-agentic-ransomware-for-automated-database-extortion) have documented what they assess to be the first case of an end-to-end ransomware operation executed by an agentic threat actor, which the company named JADEPUFFER. (https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/jadepuffer-agentic-attacks-now-target-ai-model-data-with-ransomware/) • Cybercriminals are taking advantage of a new large language model (LLM)-driven attack vector called "phantom squatting" (https://www.darkreading.com/endpoint-security/phantom-squatting-ai-driven-supply-chain-threat) by purchasing domains linked to legitimate brands, then using them to intercept traffic directed there by AI systems. What can organizations do to stop phantom squatting from harming their brands, and what other lessons do these incidents hold for defenders?

At ESET, cybersecurity isn’t just about reacting to threats, it’s about understanding them, learning from them, and staying ahead of them. For nearly 40 years, we’ve built our expertise on independence, long-term thinking, and deep global insight. From proprietary technology developed in-house to real-time telemetry that gives us a front-row seat to the world’s most complex cyber challenges, we believe in one principle above all: you can’t protect what you don’t truly understand. In this video, our founders and experts share what makes ESET different: • Why independence is critical to cybersecurity integrity • How we train and use AI responsibly • What decades of threat intelligence have taught us • Why trust is built over years not moments • How we balance innovation with responsibility We don’t rush decisions. We don’t follow trends blindly. We build solutions that last guided by values that outlast change.

It's that time of month when ESET Chief Security Evangelist Tony Anscombe (https://www.welivesecurity.com/en/our-experts/tony-anscombe/) looks back at some of the top cybersecurity stories that made the news over the past 30 or so days and considers what they may mean for your own cyber-defenses. Here's some of what caught Tony's attention in June 2026: • The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has issued new vulnerability patching rules (https://www.darkreading.com/cyber-risk/cisa-rewrites-federal-patching-requirements-ai-threat-era) that require federal agencies to remediate the most dangerous vulnerabilities within three days, • Cyberattackers are taking aim (https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/over-900-us-gas-station-tank-gauge-systems-exposed-to-attacks/) at Internet-exposed automatic tank gauge (ATG) systems in the United States, according to a warning (https://www.ic3.gov/CSA/2026/260602.pdf) by several US government agencies, • Americans lost $3.5 billion (https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/ftc-warns-of-record-35-billion-losses-to-imposter-scams-in-2025/) to imposter scams in 2025, with reported losses nearly tripling since 2020, according to the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC), • The UK and Canada are planning to introduce a ban on social media (https://www.darkreading.com/cyber-risk/uk-social-media-ban-privacy-experts-worried) use by children under the age of 16. What lessons does the new CISA policy hold for organizations outside the agency's direct remit? What else is there to know about threats facing ATGs or, indeed, many other critical infrastructure systems? How can you stay safe from imposter fraud (https://www.welivesecurity.com/en/scams/many-faces-impersonation-fraud-spot-imposter-too-late/), and could the social media bans for children work?
